About a year ago, I worked with Purpose Coach Tim Kelley to discover my blessing, the work that I was put on this earth to do, that I’ve always done, whether I was being paid for it or not. I discovered that my blessing is to help experts who are making a difference get their message out.

One way I’ve done that is through teleseminars. Over the past eight months, I’ve had the honor of contributing to thousands of heart-centered entrepreneurs and have enjoyed the rewards that come from having done FIVE 6-figure-plus launches. That’s right, my income has skyrocketed simply by sharing my blessing in a more leveraged way.

Naturally, as soon as I developed my winning formula I couldn’t wait to share it! So, I developed another groundbreaking teleseminar – “5 Simple Secrets to 6-Figure Teleseminars: How to make BIG FAST MONEY doing what you LOVE!”

I launched my teleseminar with a preview call that revealed my exact formula for how to craft a profitable “Invisible Close” preview call. The first part of the formula for crafting a profitable preview call that sells is Positioning. At the beginning of your call, to get your listeners on board fast, you need to position five specific areas. Here they are:

Step 1 of The Invisible Close Profitable Preview Call Formula: Positioning

1. Position Yourself
During your preview call, the first thing you position is yourself, and you do that with your introduction, which needs to show that you’re both credible and vulnerable.

You’ve likely heard people lead classes who share how accomplished they are, but you may not like them. They feel separate from you. People don’t buy from teachers they don’t like and trust. So you need to tell a story that both shows your credibility and your vulnerability. During my preview call, I shared with listeners that in my early days, when I used to teach women to understand and appreciate men, I regularly closed 60-80% of the room. But I also shared that I used to cry over the women who didn’t register because I so badly wanted them to have the transformation we offered. That intro story shows my extremely high conversion rates, which gives me credibility, and also shows that I have a heart, which gives me vulnerability. Being vulnerable allows your audience to appreciate that you have been where they are; you are a real person and you get them.

2. Position Your Topic
What is the possible outcome the audience could experience from being on your call? Or, from doing your work? This is where you want to grab them. In my call, I talked about the successful launches I’ve done, and the one that we parlayed into a million dollars! You can also position your topic by sharing the outcomes that your clients or students have had from working with you.

3. Position Your Audience
You want to let the listeners know that they are in the right place, so mention the groups of people who would benefit. For instance, I said, “This is for you if you’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your field. If you’re looking to get your message out in a great, leveraged way, etc….” As people heard themselves mentioned, they knew they were in the right place and became hopeful about what they were about to learn.

4. Position Your Talk
Some teachers sound like a table of contents when they position their talk. You should provide an overview of what you’re going to cover, but do it in outcome-based language. For example, “First I’m going to cover three secrets that are going to have people throwing their wallets at you.” Focus on the transformation that is possible, not the boring line item.

5. Position Your Offer
Let listeners know that you’re going to give, give, give, that the call they are on will bring them great value, and that you’ll be sure to show them how to take it further before the end of the call. That way there’s no surprise AND you can unabashedly share your offer, because you’ve told them it’s coming. I said, “I’m going to share with you everything I can in the short time we have together, and then I’m going to show you how to get more.”

I’m starting to share this amazing principal more and more because it’s just become so crystal clear for me.  So, I apologize if you’ve heard me say this already (I’m kind of excited about it!)   The level at which you invest in yourself becomes a level at which others will invest in themselves through you.

It’s true! The level at which you are investing in yourself directly relates to the level at which others will invest in themselves through you.

This is such a huge breakthrough for me because if you don’t really embrace this mindset you’re constantly questioning to yourself, “Am I worth it?”

I had heard this before but I wasn’t completely sold until I started to actually test it in my own life.   Not to long ago I invested in Ali Brown’s workshop, an online blueprint workshop to teach me how to get that part of my business going.  The workshop cost $3,000 and, very shortly after, I landed my first $3,000 a day client.

And then after that, I met Kevin Nations and invested in his $7,500-program.  I kid you not — three weeks into his course, I was selling my own $7,500-program.

November of last year was the ultimate coup de grace, however.  I signed up to do Ali Brown’s diamond mastermind group, which cost $100,000!   Trust me, this was not money I had sitting in my sock drawer. I was terrified to make this kind of investment in myself.

But what do you know?  Six months later I am successfully offering a diamond program at $100,000, as well as a $20,000 platinum program. And the spots are selling out!

I’m telling you, the proof is in the pudding.  Tell me about your Aha! Moment…
