Stop Selling The Engine (part 3): Retreats & What They Carry Home

Alison continues her mini-series with part 3 on how to market retreats by focusing on selling the transformation, not the logistics. She explains that people need to feel safe before they commit, and that the real promise is what they will carry into everyday life after the retreat.

She shares the self-selection effect and how a clear, specific message helps the right people recognize that the retreat is for them while others opt out. She also covers language to avoid and shares ways to frame retreat messaging through concrete before-and-after changes, including what life looks like after the retreat.

About the Podcast

Creating the World's Best Client Experience
What really goes into a Client Experience?
This show takes a closer look at client experiences and the different elements we use to help enhance and produce REAL transformation. Client Experiences are more than just a 'transaction', they can be a space and vehicle which allows people to make amazing quantum shifts in perspective, which ultimately leads to REAL change going forward. In shining a light on how client experiences look, we illustrate how self-care looks for our businesses. On this show we talk to industry leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs and thought leaders in the coaching and service industry spaces on how they are creating amazing client experiences in a post pandemic world. We talk about the challenges, as well as the wins and what lessons and takeaways can mean for us going forward. Whether your experiences are in person at retreats or events or are online or both, we want to talk to you!
