It’s sooooo tempting …
Nibbling around the edges. Getting laughs from your friends and followers.
Believing that posting the same “action figure” images as everyone else is using AI.
The problem: Parlor tricks won’t win you any clients.
Confession: I’ve done my own share of playing.
But if that’s all you do, you’re missing out on the real gold mine of AI applications that can dramatically impact our bottom line.
It’s like having a Ferrari and only driving to the corner store.
The good news? There’s a better way to harness AI’s power – one that focuses specifically on revenue generation and business expansion.
Let me show you how to leap from being an AI tourist to becoming an AI strategist who drives real business results. (And don’t worry, we’ll still have some fun along the way!)
Slay the Sales Monster
The biggest barrier to more high ticket sales isn’t skill … it’s the fear of making the calls that put those clients on your calendar.
And you can’t close a call you don’t make.
But here’s something most entrepreneurs don’t realize: AI can be your secret weapon in mastering sales conversations. Even if sales calls have you shaking in your boots.
Think of it as your personal no-judgement low-risk sales coach available 24/7.
Want to practice handling that tough objection about your pricing? Role-play with the same Chat GPT AI you’re using now. You don’t even need a dedicated app!
Need to refine your pitch for different personality types? AI can help you simulate various scenarios.
You can even use it to practice a particularly challenging upcoming conversation to spot critical weaknesses in your approach you never noticed before.
The best part? Your AI sales practice buddy is there for you at your convenience. And will run through tricky sales scenarios as many times as you want.
Whether you’re naturally confident or break into a cold sweat at the thought of selling, AI can help you:
- Perfect your pitch through unlimited practice sessions.
- Master objection handling through simulation.
- Develop custom conversation approaches for different client types.
- Improve and offer feedback on your closing techniques.
It can build your confidence through repeated practice, in a low stakes environment where no money is on the line.
Market Expansion on Steroids
Are you running into the same people over and over? Even if you’re showing up at new events and venues?
That’s a problem: Because you can’t enroll folks you tried to just last month.
Fishing in the same pond as everyone else, filled with the same familiar faces makes business a lot harder than it needs to be.
What you need is a way to find new markets that want your offers just as much (or more) than the ones your targeting now.
Here’s where AI becomes your market expansion superstar.
It can help you identify untapped market niches you might never have considered.
Filled with folks with funds who are searching for you right now.
I recently prompted Chat GPT to uncover 10 potential higher ticket market sectors for a client that were a perfect fit for her services that she’d never considered before!
That means a whole untapped realm of:
Networking Events – both live and virtual.
Conferences and Trade Shows filled to the brim with people you’ve never met – who need you.
Speaking Venues perfect for what you offer.
And you won’t find a single one of the usual suspects that haunt your current outreach.
AI can help you identify these hidden market opportunities that can add new clients to your calendar and new revenue to your bank account.
Your ‘Going Big’ Buddy
Much of the exhaustion of being an entrepreneur comes from an attachment to the “Onesy-Twosey” Syndrome:
Enrolling clients – one at a time.
Planning out a launch – one at a time.
Crafting content – one piece at a time.
That may have worked to get you where you are now. But won’t get you where you want to go.
AI transforms your approach from incremental to exponential growth, from one-at-a-time to many at once.
Instead of handling one email campaign at a time, you can develop multiple targeted campaigns simultaneously.
Rather than focusing on one speaking opportunity, in your local area, you can locate and pursue scores of them, across the state, country or even the world.
Even calendaring out your next 4 launches over the next 12-16 months.
Yes, this takes additional time up front to get your prompt dialed in. lt only helps to use something over and over if the initial run is effective. But the effort is worth it.
Successful sustainable businesses are built on scale. Even if you’re not building an empire you still need scale to save their sanity and avoid burnout.
AI can help, so doing what you love STAYS doing what you love.
AI is a profit center … for real.
I get it – goofy memes or putting your face on your favorite cartoon character is a hoot.
It’s also a great way to squander one of the best business growth opportunities in years.
The key is using AI to:
Hone your sales game – risk free!
Expand your reach to fresh new market sectors with thousands of new prospects.
Scaling repetitive marketing tasks so you can do them faster than you believed possible.
What’s makes this even more powerful is that you can use a basic AI app like Chat GPT to do all of these. No fancy programs or tricky coding required. It does take extra time … but can reward you many times over!
It’s your strategy partner to uncover gold mines you’ve never considered. And drive scores of amazing, ready-to-jump-in clients to your door.
