How NOT To Make an Offer (And What to Do Instead)
From the YouTube description: “When it comes to making the offer – the moment you let your prospects know about your product or service and then ask them to give you money for it – there’s a mistake almost every business owner makes at some point. It mostly comes from a desire to serve. But not only will it cost you sales… it’s not good for your prospects, either.”
This is a great video for coaches, consultants, and anyone else who packages their expertise for sale to serve clients.

Recently, the great John Jantsch interviewed Atiba on The Duct Tape Marketing Podcast. More video marketing brilliance from Atiba — and more up-to-date than the April 2023 episodes on my podcast.
