Full transcript
- 0:00This is the middle of funnel
- 0:02masterclass. This is episode two of the
- 0:0450-minute masterclasses. How to turn
- 0:06followers into perfect high ticket
- 0:09clients. For those of you that don't
- 0:10know who I am, my name is Gabe
- 0:12Nnovictim.
- 0:13I've contracted two and a half million
- 0:15dollars using the same system. I've also
- 0:17helped
- 0:19a great amount of other people do the
- 0:20same. I work primarily with individuals
- 0:22that are scaling up to 50k to 100k a
- 0:24month organically with their Instagram
- 0:26and YouTube. Fitness coaches, uh
- 0:29money-making coaches, business coaches,
- 0:30tattoo coaches, barber coaches, real
- 0:32estate coaches, get sober coaches, you
- 0:34name it. If you've got an offer, I can
- 0:36help you scale it.
- 0:37Anyway, guys, so
- 0:39this concept is essentially what I
- 0:41consider like a regeneration method. All
- 0:45right? So, it's something that feeds off
- 0:46of itself.
- 0:48And essentially, this is like the
- 0:49distribution framework to look at how we
- 0:52want to take an idea
- 0:55and turn it into multiple different
- 0:57parts of content. Now,
- 0:59so, here's the thing, right? Cuz we're
- 1:01going to we're going to get to this
- 1:03section right here in just a second. So,
- 1:06when it comes to an idea, right? This is
- 1:09actually where most people get content
- 1:12wrong. Is that they're shooting ideas
- 1:15from their hip.
- 1:16Right? Now,
- 1:18I want to draw something out so you guys
- 1:20can understand the difference, right?
- 1:25So,
- 1:26when someone
- 1:29makes content and they go, "Okay, well,
- 1:33I'm going to make content based off of
- 1:35what I think
- 1:37my ICP or what I think my prospects need
- 1:39to see or need to hear, right?" And this
- 1:42is what we'll be called
- 1:44speculation.
- 1:47Right? And essentially, this is like a
- 1:50this is like
- 1:52guessing.
- 1:54Right?
- 1:55When you're speculating, you're
- 1:56guessing. no certainty.
- 1:58What we need
- 2:00is we need
- 2:02articulation.
- 2:06Right?
- 2:08And the articulation of the thing only
- 2:11comes from experience.
- 2:13All right, so you need to focus more on
- 2:15articulating what you're trying to say
- 2:17versus speculating on what you think
- 2:20people need to hear. Now, to get into
- 2:22more detail about what this means
- 2:24is
- 2:26when we have an idea
- 2:30we want to make content about our
- 2:32experience
- 2:34with that idea. We don't want to
- 2:36speculate on what we think our followers
- 2:38need to see, what we think our buyers
- 2:39need to see before they sign with us.
- 2:42We want to be certain.
- 2:44Now,
- 2:46this line over here essentially
- 2:49indicates
- 2:52And this will be like point A to point
- 2:54B.
- 2:56This is like an entire direct message
- 2:58conversation.
- 3:00You could consider this like
- 3:02where the call gets booked and closed,
- 3:04or if you're closing it in the DM.
- 3:06This is essentially
- 3:08the process of a conversation. Now,
- 3:11somewhere along the lines you guys are
- 3:12going to get this when you're in your
- 3:14your you know, your your messaging your
- 3:16followers, your messaging your Instagram
- 3:17stories, you're having conversations
- 3:19with people that are essentially in your
- 3:22funnel. They're in this middle of
- 3:23funnel.
- 3:25Right? They're literally in your
- 3:26Instagram stories, they're hanging out
- 3:28in your content.
- 3:30But when you try to have conversations
- 3:32with them
- 3:33it goes cool, it goes cool, right? You
- 3:35think you're getting somewhere, and then
- 3:36boom.
- 3:38You have an objection.
- 3:40Okay? Now, what happens is a couple
- 3:42things, right?
- 3:44Coaches get
- 3:47emotional.
- 3:49Right?
- 3:51They get
- 3:53uh
- 3:55scarcity, right? They feel like there's
- 3:57not enough.
- 3:59And then another thing, too, is
- 4:02they actually
- 4:04can't get, and I'm just going to draw
- 4:05like a
- 4:10This is like
- 4:12This is the technically like supposed to
- 4:14be a medal.
- 4:16You get the idea, right?
- 4:18They actually don't help their prospects
- 4:20get to their end goal. Now,
- 4:22how do we take this
- 4:25and then make this into content? Cuz
- 4:26what essentially what you have to
- 4:27understand is this.
- 4:30At the core of every objection,
- 4:34right?
- 4:36Every objection
- 4:40is just a
- 4:42limited
- 4:45belief.
- 4:47Right?
- 4:48Your buyers,
- 4:52the ones that have given you money,
- 4:55they have the
- 4:57new
- 4:59adopted
- 5:02belief.
- 5:04I I know you can like barely read that,
- 5:05but
- 5:06Now, why is this important? Okay? You
- 5:08have to understand that at the core of
- 5:10every objection, every point of
- 5:11resistance, is going to be a limited
- 5:13belief. Right? For example,
- 5:16you know, you got a coach who's a coach,
- 5:18which makes no sense, right?
- 5:19You're a coach that thinks you're going
- 5:21to do it on your own, right? You sell
- 5:22coaching,
- 5:23right? But then maybe you're watching
- 5:25this YouTube video, and that's all you
- 5:27That's as far as you go. You never spend
- 5:28money on coaching, right?
- 5:30Your belief system essentially says that
- 5:32I don't believe in coaching.
- 5:34I believe that I can do this on my own.
- 5:36Which is a fundamental
- 5:38limited belief or a flawed belief
- 5:40system. Because
- 5:42we already know, hey,
- 5:44you're not going going to the goals that
- 5:45you want without working with a coach.
- 5:47And that's the reason why there's this
- 5:49resistance in the DMs. So essentially
- 5:51what we need to do
- 5:53is we need to take the limited belief
- 5:57and we need to install the new belief
- 6:06into the content engine.
- 6:09>> [snorts]
- 6:09>> All right? Now, the idea that I had
- 6:12before was
- 6:15Okay.
- 6:17If you don't believe in coaching, you're
- 6:19not going to be able to sell coaching.
- 6:21It's a limiting belief. Or if you go,
- 6:23"Well, I'm going to start next 3 months.
- 6:25I'm going to start next 6 months."
- 6:26Right? It's a belief system that says,
- 6:28"I have more time than I actually do."
- 6:30Right? It actually keeps that person
- 6:34from reaching their goals.
- 6:36Right?
- 6:38We need to inject that new belief
- 6:42into the content engine
- 6:44and essentially say
- 6:46If someone says,
- 6:47"Well, look, I you know, I sell coaching
- 6:49but I don't believe in it." We need to
- 6:51take that idea
- 6:52and essentially what we need to do is we
- 6:55need to explain to them, "Hey, why
- 6:57coaching is so important?" The belief
- 6:59that I have is for example, I've spent a
- 7:01quarter million dollars on mentorship.
- 7:04So I have the I have a full belief in
- 7:05I've I've turned 250k into 2 and 1/2
- 7:08million dollars. It's a 10x return.
- 7:10Think about that.
- 7:11Now, what I end up doing and and and you
- 7:13could do this multiple ways. You can do
- 7:15text, you can do voice.
- 7:18What I like to do is
- 7:21take that idea
- 7:22and start voice memoing or writing it
- 7:25out in text.
- 7:26Flesh out the idea, right?
- 7:29Tell the story of like, "Hey, this is
- 7:30before I start, you know, before I was a
- 7:31coach or this is when I had this
- 7:33limiting belief."
- 7:35Right? And then I installed this new
- 7:36belief and that's when my life changed.
- 7:39You want to turn that into long-form
- 7:41content
- 7:43and then distribute this
- 7:46to Instagram in three separate ways,
- 7:47okay?
- 7:49We have
- 7:51lead magnets,
- 7:53which are essentially just clips from
- 7:55the long-form YouTube video.
- 7:57We have what's called the micro VSL,
- 8:00which is a essentially a
- 8:03compressed video sales letter in real
- 8:05format reels format using a hook, social
- 8:08proof, actionable
- 8:10actionable advice, and a CTA to the
- 8:12long-form
- 8:14content. And then we also have the
- 8:16Instagram stories, right? This is like
- 8:20the
- 8:21three selfie videos that you could make
- 8:24regarding this topic
- 8:27led to a YouTube call to action. So, you
- 8:30can kind of see the trend here, right?
- 8:32In all of these, this starts with a big
- 8:35idea, a main idea,
- 8:37and then we can extract multiple angles
- 8:40and formats out of this one idea.
- 8:44But this idea is not just a random idea.
- 8:46This content idea isn't just shooting
- 8:48from the hip. It's literally meant to
- 8:51install a new belief into the followers
- 8:53into the prospects. Guys, understand
- 8:56something.
- 8:57If they never adopt this new belief,
- 9:01they will never buy.
- 9:03They will never buy.
- 9:04There are essentially
- 9:08three to five beliefs
- 9:10that your prospect hold ons holds on to
- 9:14that when they believe that new belief
- 9:16system, at that point they'll be ready
- 9:18to buy. So, when people say, "Well,
- 9:22I know the more content I make,
- 9:24right? The more chances I have of
- 9:26signing clients." Well, that's sure
- 9:27sure, right? I mean, in a balance of
- 9:29probability, if you post 10 times a
- 9:31month versus 100 times a month, then
- 9:33yeah, you'll probably sign more clients,
- 9:34potentially.
- 9:36The only problem is that there's no
- 9:37intentionality behind the content.
- 9:40So, the good thing about this, and this
- 9:43is why it's called the middle of funnel
- 9:44masterclass, is cuz we're not talking
- 9:46about reels that are going to get
- 9:48100,000 views, a million views.
- 9:50Right? We're not talking about reels
- 9:51that are going to get you 100,000 views,
- 9:53a million views.
- 9:55Right?
- 9:56And I'm not even breaking down the
- 9:58bottom of funnel. I'm not even really
- 9:59breaking down the DMs. I'm just helping
- 10:01you guys understand like, "Hey, look,
- 10:03whatever objection you get, let's say
- 10:05you message people and they're
- 10:06ghosting you.
- 10:07Right? What are we going to do?
- 10:10Guys, um
- 10:11the thing is is that people will ghost
- 10:13someone that's trying to help them.
- 10:15When a reality,
- 10:17I knew that even though it was an
- 10:19uncomfortable conversation with my
- 10:21mentor, it was something that I needed
- 10:22to do because it was the only way I was
- 10:23going to get better.
- 10:25Those people then,
- 10:26in the DMs, they start to
- 10:29essentially
- 10:31adopt a new belief system.
- 10:34So, it breaks this.
- 10:38And I'm going to draw this green.
- 10:40You break the belief and then you
- 10:41install
- 10:45the new belief, right? Which would be
- 10:46right here.
- 10:48This is the new belief.
- 10:49This is what creates less resistance
- 10:52from the open to the close.
- 10:56Okay?
- 10:59Inside of your DMs, every day, this is
- 11:02really what it should look like.
- 11:04You go into DMs and you just see.
- 11:08In a perfect world, 100% of your
- 11:10followers will convert. In a perfect
- 11:12world, 100% of your followers would
- 11:15convert. I want you I want to give you a
- 11:17scenario for a second.
- 11:19Let's just say that like I told you that
- 11:21you could never have any new followers,
- 11:23right? Only followers you have and you
- 11:25got 689 followers, 16,000 followers,
- 11:302,200 followers. You can never get a new
- 11:33follower.
- 11:34And I cap your direct message volume at
- 11:36five a day.
- 11:38Right?
- 11:40Now, if that was the case,
- 11:43then I would then look at this process
- 11:45as an in in the DMs
- 11:48as
- 11:49well,
- 11:50if I'm
- 11:52opening my DMs every day, I don't have
- 11:54to sit there and try to, you know,
- 11:56walk around my porch and and and
- 11:59try to ponder on what I want to talk
- 12:01about. I can literally just go in the
- 12:03DMs because my prospects are giving me
- 12:05the exact content
- 12:08that they need to consume in order for
- 12:10their belief system to change so they
- 12:11buy.
- 12:13So, every day I'm like this, guys.
- 12:15All right? And I'll even show you guys
- 12:16with my phone.
- 12:21>> [snorts]
- 12:21>> I got my DMs open right here.
- 12:25This is what the morning looks like for
- 12:26me, right? I'm going in.
- 12:28And I'm looking, okay.
- 12:30Talk to a good amount of people.
- 12:33For example,
- 12:35if I open
- 12:39really any random DM, but I want to make
- 12:41this like a good one.
- 12:43If I open really any random DM,
- 12:45>> [clears throat]
- 12:47>> I'm going to find
- 12:49a point of resistance, right? So, I'm
- 12:51not going to give this guy's name, but
- 12:53I'm talking to this guy, right?
- 12:56And essentially, he stops responding,
- 12:58right?
- 12:58He says,
- 13:00I sent him my offer. He says, "I'll let
- 13:02you know. Thank you."
- 13:04No urgency.
- 13:06This person has been stuck at the same
- 13:07revenue This This guy has a a baseball
- 13:09offer. He helps people uh people with
- 13:11baseball.
- 13:13He's been at the same revenue since he
- 13:14first started following me like 3 years
- 13:16ago.
- 13:17Right? Why do you think that is?
- 13:20Well, there's no urgency.
- 13:23You know, there's no urgency. So, if I
- 13:25see that
- 13:26and knowing this person watches my
- 13:28Instagram stories every day,
- 13:30you guys will refer to episode one and
- 13:32you'll remember the
- 13:34training I did about the window,
- 13:37right? And essentially,
- 13:41when people are in your Instagram
- 13:43stories,
- 13:45right?
- 13:46It's a window into your business.
- 13:49So now I'll go I'll make content I'll
- 13:50say,
- 13:52"Okay, people don't understand that it's
- 13:55so much less about strat- This is my own
- 13:57words. This is my own experience.
- 13:59It's so much less important
- 14:02that you have the proper strategy as
- 14:03compared to moving urgently and
- 14:05understanding the fact that time is
- 14:07finite and you don't have a lot of it.
- 14:09That's it.
- 14:10If you had massive urgency,
- 14:15and someone else had the perfect
- 14:16strategy but no urgency, you would beat
- 14:18them every time.
- 14:20Why moving quickly
- 14:22made me a millionaire. That's the idea.
- 14:25That turns into the long-form content.
- 14:27Then we get lead magnet clips from the
- 14:28long-form YouTube. We make a micro VSL.
- 14:33And then we also have our Instagram
- 14:34story layups, where we're talking
- 14:36Instagram stories, right? Where I'm
- 14:37going to go
- 14:39I'm talking about this YouTube channel
- 14:41or or YouTube video,
- 14:43and the topic was oh, you need to move
- 14:45with urgency.
- 14:47I'd start with one. I'd say, "This is
- 14:49the number one thing that you need when
- 14:51it comes to speed in business and what's
- 14:53going to make you money." Right? Boom.
- 14:54That's an Instagram story. I can put a
- 14:56caption on that and I can post it and
- 14:57then resave it and post it as a reel
- 14:59later. Number two, I'm going to make
- 15:01another Instagram story with the same
- 15:03topic, but I'm going to start it as if
- 15:05it were a reel.
- 15:06Right? Say something along the lines of,
- 15:09"Guys, uh you know, when I was 21 or I
- 15:11was 25, I saw a lot of people that were
- 15:14younger than me making money on the
- 15:15internet and I realized well, it's
- 15:16because they uh they were just moving
- 15:18quicker than me.
- 15:19Right? Number three,
- 15:21why urgency is a necessity for building
- 15:24a coaching business.
- 15:25All right, just different topics,
- 15:27fleshing out different angles.
- 15:29But, here's where we start to create
- 15:33an ecosystem
- 15:36of identity shifting. Right? Because
- 15:40underneath the identity is a belief.
- 15:43Right? Men have have different beliefs
- 15:45than women. Children have different
- 15:47beliefs
- 15:48than adults. Right? Maybe you have a
- 15:51different cultural background. Maybe you
- 15:52have a different job. Maybe you have a
- 15:54different financial status, health
- 15:56status, right? All of these things are
- 15:58going to
- 16:00should I say instill a belief system
- 16:02into you that may or may not serve you
- 16:04depending on your results.
- 16:06When we can change their belief system,
- 16:09and then we create an ecosystem of
- 16:11content that is doing the job, the
- 16:14number one thing that needs to happen
- 16:16for them to buy.
- 16:18That's when we master the middle of
- 16:21funnel, and we turn followers into
- 16:23perfect high-ticket clients. Guys, this
- 16:24is episode two of the 15-minute
- 16:26masterclass.
