Not a usual a commenter tbh BUT THIS ONE VIDEO is THE MOST VALUABLE YT video I've watched on this platform! I couldn't let it in the browsing history without at least a comment!!! and a sub! why the heck not!
Thank you!
Alright F*** it. Imma try this and report back in a few months
Do they have the Leads video prior too this one?
Where can the first video of this session be found? Chris even mentioned somewhere in the video that we should go watch the previous video but I can't seem to find it on the channel.
Such an amazing video, really loved this! Will do my best to implement this π
Best thing i have watched in 2024
Itβs so (pleasantly) obnoxious that this video came out when it did because the past three weeks I have watched three online webinars for various lead generation tools and strategies. Seems like youβre the only one who isnβt selling a magic pill related to their product or service.
Thanks for the helpful tips. Making moves already and seeing results. This video helped me to refine some my current action steps.
My Top 3 takeaways from this video
—
1. Imagination
We're selling imagination.
Not everyone has a great imagination.
Our creativity and imagination allow us to envision a better future version of someone or somethinf before it exists.
That's extremely valuable, if we can communicate that vision well and show that we can make it happen.

2. 100k:
Have a mindset of humble abundance – you are enough, you have enough, and you can deliver something rare, that will help the clientβ¦ but you don't need too. There is always another client.
Call it your 100k (your name)
or whatever figure you prefer
(reminds us to match out beliefs and actions with our future identity)
—
3. Mind Walk
Exercise empathy practically, by trying to think of the kind of person who you'd want to help,
and then imagine living their life; from the minor to the major things
from there, figure out their big and small problems and how they are connected.
This way, you'll find out what they might really want, and how to communicate
+ their problem,
+ your sample solution,
+ and your tool/service that will really help them.

Thank you for the teaching.
Now, to applyβ¦
Thanks much!
Amazing video and love you channel – the knowledge you have and how you present it is literally like watching an artist at work, just so good.
I have a question at 1:04:00 when talking about the message to turn it into a YT video, do you mean explain the process of the sales pitch as a YT Video? So that then other potential client's would see that video and want the same thing?Β
If so how would you approach that and keep it specific but also general enough that potential clients from a different sector other than events can relate to it? Thanks
1:03:35
this reminds me of a video made by a YouTuber, titled "What makes a short commercial successful?"
basically, all the ads we've watched growing up, and the ads we watch now, some of them tells a story so beautifully well that you remember them for a lifetime (once I literally tried to find a link to an ad I saw on YouTube to share to my friends because it was that amazing. Imagine, something people have subconsciously learned to avoid, ads, I found it so interesting that i wanted to share it to someone!)
That video would be very valuable for someone who makes videos/animation (like me) and someone who is trying to think of ways to market their products. There's a high chance you can get clients from it and you can sell your products to other videographers from the same video!
As a dance instructor clients comes easy now, but what I struggle now I'm not paid enough for my energy exerted time is less but pricing power is not mine right now
Thank you for this wonderful workshop (incredible coaching and wonderful conversation), love how you incorporate knowledge from previous podcast interviews
Thank you, Chris for the incredible workshop!
Wow, this is very valuable, I have written out many action points and I'm definitely going to apply them today. Thank you Chris
Thank you so much Chris! This is pure gold!
You inspire and educate me and I hope to do the same for others one day.

This is so valuable. Iβm actively applying these concepts with Google Gemini Ultra. Thank you, Chris! π
made it to the end
Such a great session! Thanks Chris
Iβm not in video, Iβm in audio more specifically music – I am an audio engineer that records rappers and singers and this totally changed the way I think and this is gonna be the thing that allows me to go full time and get more clients
What about for Youtubers from third world country like me. YT won't monetize here π
When Chris is saying "From yesterday" is that video released yet?

Chris is there anything wrong with my above question ??
Thought provoking in a good wayβ¦ thank you thatπ cheers
I'm loving the topics focused on a video agencies, it's hard to find other credible sources.
Iβm a photographer and videographer following you for the last 3/4 years.
This video really hits the spot for me.
Iβm in the same situation as the guys in this video and I have no idea how Iβll pay rent in the next two weeks.
I understand and get a lot of what you teach Chris but when things hit the fan and immediate action is required, everyone needs their own unique blueprint AND someone like you with skills and authority to give that permission and authority that we are on the right track.
I have a friend telling me I should record content (which I never have).
I have a friend telling me to chill and not care or stress about anything.
My heart says stop thinking otherwise Il have a panic attack and canβt do any projects.
Your skills and deep understanding and level of CARE is remarkable chris. You truly truly understand the path and life challenges of creatives. You will help a billion people do what they love.
I want to say thank you for what you do.
Although Iβm freaking out and not sure what actions to do that will help me in the short term – I know following and applying what you teach will help me for the long term.
Iβm planning to join Pro Group once my revenue stabilizes. π«‘
