“There was a lot of downsizing then - some of them lost their jobs too - and we offered them the opportunity to join us as speakers. Even when the economy got better, most of them stayed with us over the years – many of them are exclusive to us; not because we make them exclusive to us, but because they know who we are, and we’ve been with them for years. Relationship building is a high priority for us.”
“When I was running my first business, I used some direct marketing techniques and focused more on the hard-sell types of tactics. I saw lots of coaches telling their clients to start aggressively sliding into everyone’s DMs, but this didn’t highlight any sense of creativity or excellence. These methods didn’t attract the right kind of clients, and it didn’t set me up for a positive working relationship."
“Before using TCommerce I wasn’t as happy with my checkout. People would sign up for my site but they wouldn’t purchase the course right away. Now, the sign-up screen is the purchase screen as well, which increases the conversion rate. Plus, the new checkout and other sales tools are free and integrated into Thinkific—it’s a no brainer.”
"You’re not thinking about strategies for making money or any of that, and really for about four years I was just plugging away making content and totally missing the marketing aspect of it."
“I’ve personally had clients and customers from all over the world because they now have that ability. They can jump in anytime they want. It’s the same thing with classes — you’re not limited to offering it to people in your travel region or just to people who could afford it. You can really include everybody. You’re able to open the doors for people who you weren’t able to open the doors up to before. They can still be a part of it and they can still feel included, and be who they want to be behind that camera too.”
“Scary is the easiest and most accurate word to describe how I felt when COVID hit without getting complicated."
“Creating valuable content for your audience is just the beginning. Finding the right tools to help you effectively deliver it is a whole other story. Lucky for us we found Thinkific, transferred all of our online learning content over, and we haven’t looked back since.”
“In developing this course, we chose the topic based on what Fire Nation, our audience, was telling us they wanted and needed most.”
“I really enjoyed his lessons and the vast knowledge that he imparted.”
“The goal was to impact educators specifically and industry leaders in general, to understand the roles they play in the experiences of the people they serve. The ability to create and support spaces where each individual gets to show up as perfect and whole as they are. Without the expectation that they assimilate to very narrow, eurocentric norms in order to be successful.”
“They get the content first, have an opportunity to digest it, think about it, maybe even talk to their peers about it. Then, we come in and do a live session with them. The engagement is deeper and it’s more effective.”
“You need to get on Thinkific. The team is creative, reliable, and offers unbeatable support. They always make sure all my bases are covered and, as a business owner, that’s invaluable.”
"Turning my book Sell It Like Serhant into an online course has changed my life and career. Without Thinkific I would not have a course. It's opened up a new revenue stream for my business, and way to help more sales people."
“I learned that people expect videos. I had to manage my students’ expectations because I don’t think some topics are best suited for video.”
“When I found Thinkific it was like a breath of fresh air. It cut my content upload time more than in half. It has literally transformed my ability to get my content out to my community, increased my revenue, and I don’t think my business would be where it is today without it.”
