My name is Tom Poland beaming out to you as ever from little Castaways Beach in Queensland, Australia, joined today by Ken Krell. Ken, a very warm welcome from down under here. Whereabouts are you hanging out? Ken Krell 00:25 I’m in Sydney, so I’m just down the street, sort of. Tom Poland 00:27 Are you? Just down the road! Ken Krell 00:28 Geographic enough. Tom Poland 00:30 Just throw a pebble out the window. Ken Krell 00:33 And were at lockdown. Life is good, Tom Poland 00:34 Folks, Ken and I connected a while ago and just clicked! You know, the report was flowing, the conversation was flowing, so I wanted to have him on my show. For those of you who don’t know him, however, for over a third of a century, which sounds like a very long time, and it is, Ken has inspired literally thousands of people from all over the world by sharing really very powerful ways to create wealth, prosperity and happiness in their lives. This brings us quite nicely to the title of this which is, “How to Give Your Coaching, Consulting or Speaking Business a Seven-Figure Bump in a Weekend. So that should get your attention because it certainly got mine. Ken, our seven minutes is going to start now. Sir, let’s go to question number one. Who is your ideal client? Ken Krell 01:23 Obviously, speakers, authors, coaches, consultants. People with a message to share. Tom Poland 01:27 Perfect! A message to share. Question number two is what’s the problem you solve for them? Ken Krell 01:33 The biggest problem that most of these folks have is, how do you market your programs? How do you market your products? How do you get the best price you can get? How do you change and transform most people? How do you scale better? Tom Poland 01:44 Right. So, it’s all about scalability, serving more people, and there are consequences to that, bank account balance is going to grow quite nicely as well, I imagined. Question number three, six and a half minutes left. What I’m after here are the typical symptoms that your ideal clients are going to be experiencing before they start working with you. What’s going on in their business or their life where they’re thinking where that’ll give them a bit of a heads up that they should find out more about what you do? Ken Krell 02:09 A lot of them have imposter syndrome. They don’t value themselves the way they need to be valued. They don’t recognize the effect that they have on others where they could ultimately price significantly more. Tom Poland 02:19 Right. Ken Krell 02:19 And that’s just one of the biggest shifts I need to do with folks is that they recognize that. They also- a lot of them are intimidated by the thought of going into digital events, which is what we’ll be talking about. And so, they think it’s not for them or it’s dying. Just out of misconceptions is the biggest mistake. They think too much. Tom Poland 02:35 Right. And you know, as Mark Twain said, “It’s not the things we don’t know that hurts us the most, it’s the things we think we know that just isn’t so.” So, let’s go to question number four, we got five and a half minutes left. What I’m after here are the common mistakes. So, you’re talking about coaches, trainers, these are people who want to help people. They’re growth orientated. They’re going to try stuff. So, what do you see as some of the common mistakes that people try before they find your solution? Ken Krell 03:00 Oh, gosh, that’s a three-day conversation! Probably among the biggest things I’ve seen is if they run an event, they bring in so many other speakers to add value that they don’t get to showcase themselves. So, to some degree, it’s a feeling of security that they have all the other speakers, but they shoot themselves in the foot. Or they’ll do events with the wrong structure that’s not a winning structure. I mean, I’ve been doing this- it’s really 40 years, sort of a sound tree sounds better, but it’s been 40 years. So, we have a system that works. And they don’t follow that system because they don’t know that system. They don’t plan. They don’t strategize. They don’t price properly, as well. I mean, massive mistakes in pricing, where people really buy based on value, not based on price, and you don’t need to compare with anyone else because you are unique. And they forget that. That massive mistake is that. Tom Poland 03:49 Right. So true! Ken Krell 03:50 If you knew what value you are providing, you’d have no problem. And then you can make an offer with feeling good and feeling comfortable with it and not feel cheeky, or, or creepy or anything. Tom Poland 04:01 Right. And this goes back to the imposter syndrome you mentioned before. So, there’s a lot of strategic things you mentioned there about, you know, promoting themselves at their own event, not too many other people, the pricing, and so on. And it sounds like one of the common mistakes, therefore, is rushing into the tactical, the execution before they’ve got the strategy ducks in a row, so to speak. Ken Krell 04:20 And the other ones are they over tech. I mean, I have a friend that just did his first event, first diplomat this weekend. I mean, the room of all the tech he put in place, he didn’t need it. I mean, this is my set right here. We don’t count and need massive dollars to palm trees, right? Sure. And a camera. Tom Poland 04:38 And a good mic. Ken Krell 04:38 With my dining room table. Tom Poland 04:39 Yeah. Yep. I’ve seen the same deal, over tech. Tech for the sake of tech and not required. So, let’s go on to question five, which is where we start adding value to people. We’ve set the scene now. People are hopefully going to be there is a pricked up and go, “Oh, yeah, that could have been made.” One valuable free action, like a top tip. If you cou...
