00:00:39.972 --> 00:00:53.978
Today on the show, I'm joined by Maeve Ferguson, who is a sought-after business strategist and creator of The Client Engine, a proven system that helps authors, consultants, and experts turn their intellectual property into automated sales machines.
00:00:53.978 --> 00:01:02.822
With a background in private equity and experience working with seven- and eight-figure thought leaders, Maeve combined sharp strategy with entrepreneurial momentum.
00:01:02.822 --> 00:01:13.144
Through her signature IP Engine Method, she's helped bestselling authors, global speakers, and elite coaches scale sustainably without chasing visibility or relying on guesswork.
00:01:13.144 --> 00:01:23.855
Featured in Forbes and seen on Jen Kem's stage, Maeve runs her multi-six-figure consultancy from her horse farm in Northern Ireland, all while raising two young kitties.
00:01:23.855 --> 00:01:25.617
Maeve, welcome to the show.
00:01:26.385 --> 00:01:27.506
Thank you so much, Tarryn.
00:01:27.506 --> 00:01:28.346
Thank you for having me.
00:01:28.346 --> 00:01:34.572
Said kitties just knocked on the door, so I hope they're gonna head on to Crescent School without disturbing us.
00:01:34.572 --> 00:01:36.972
they come in, it is totally fine.
00:01:36.972 --> 00:01:38.453
I'm a mama too.
00:01:38.453 --> 00:01:43.552
Lots of our audiences are moms and parents as well, so do not stress.
00:01:44.373 --> 00:01:46.433
Do not stress.
00:01:46.673 --> 00:01:47.313
All right.
00:01:47.313 --> 00:01:51.453
So you have done some pretty incredible things.
00:01:51.453 --> 00:01:56.814
You're also known for turning intellectual property into automated client engines.
00:01:56.814 --> 00:01:59.686
So can you walk us through exactly what that looks like?
00:02:00.406 --> 00:02:11.430
Yeah, so essentially, whenever you think about a lot of the thought leaders in this world, they have intellectual property, they have their process, their methodology, their unique mechanism.
00:02:12.883 --> 00:02:19.625
Their IP ends inside the book or their IP ends on stage.
00:02:19.625 --> 00:02:25.887
And essentially what we do is turn that IP into diagnostic assessments.
00:02:25.887 --> 00:02:40.431
So if you've ever been through the likes of an Enneagram or a Myers-Briggs or any of these strength finders, those type of assessments, so that that body of work can be codified and live beyond the book and beyond the stage.
00:02:41.324 --> 00:02:42.725
Yep, that's amazing.
00:02:42.725 --> 00:02:47.129
Very similar to what we do in my publishing company, Automatic Authority.
00:02:47.129 --> 00:02:48.570
And you're completely right.
00:02:48.570 --> 00:02:55.175
A lot of entrepreneurs, paid speakers, they will write the book and then they don't know what to do with it.
00:02:55.175 --> 00:02:57.198
They don't know how to leverage that.
00:02:57.356 --> 00:02:59.979
And so like you said, it stalls there.
00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:05.104
But books and speaking events can really become client engines.
00:03:05.185 --> 00:03:14.480
Now, the difference between you and me is that you use a lot of data because you have a background in that data-driven diagnostics.
00:03:14.537 --> 00:03:24.133
So talk to us about data-driven diagnostics versus the fluffy lead magnets that we see out there that a lot of people are putting out and are not actually converting for them.
00:03:24.133 --> 00:03:26.646
What is the biggest mistake people are making?
00:03:27.532 --> 00:03:28.723
Yes, I love this question.
00:03:28.723 --> 00:03:42.191
And essentially, if you think about a diagnostic assessment or what people more commonly call a quiz funnel, the whole idea is that it is generating qualified leads to come into your company every single day at scale.
00:03:42.191 --> 00:03:50.675
And often what happens is people put so much effort into building their assessment or their quiz funnel, and then they go live.
00:03:50.675 --> 00:03:53.456
And that's where the conversation ends.
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:59.568
And invariably then what you hear when these things are not built correctly, we hear the narrative of "Oh yeah, I tried a quiz.
00:03:59.568 --> 00:04:05.919
That didn't work." But what they haven't realized is A, it is was probably built incorrectly.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:14.081
It wasn't built as a scalable asset and when we actually go live with the diagnostic, that is day zero.
00:04:14.081 --> 00:04:16.750
And we do a lot of work with agentic AI.
00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:20.285
So we build a lot of these AI agents for our clients.
00:04:20.285 --> 00:04:27.007
So once their assessment is live, essentially, that becomes as we put water through the pipes.
00:04:27.007 --> 00:04:28.928
You know, that's what I call leads.
00:04:28.928 --> 00:04:31.029
We have to put water through the pipes.
00:04:31.029 --> 00:04:41.375
Our market starts to tell us, inside of the data, exactly what they want, exactly what's going on, who's buying our high-ticket stuff, who's not buying our high-ticket stuff.
00:04:41.375 --> 00:04:55.750
And over time, we're able to use the data, use the insight that our diagnostic assessments are giving us, to kind of build these feedback loops to our top-of-funnel copy, top-of-funnel messaging, top-of-funnel positioning.
00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:57.435
For example, during a keynote.
00:04:57.435 --> 00:05:02.418
We have a few thousand people go through our diagnostic at the end of that keynote.
00:05:02.418 --> 00:05:04.800
So it's a really powerful lead magnet.
00:05:04.841 --> 00:05:17.851
Essentially, how the people are answering our questions, how their buyer behaviors, their patterns is giving us a model to follow for what good looks like inside of our market.
00:05:17.851 --> 00:05:24.968
Over time, as we run water through the pipes, these agents get smarter and smarter and smarter at spotting.
00:05:24.968 --> 00:05:34.112
Here is what we call inside of our company, here's a platinum lead, here's a

diamond lead, here's a gold lead, a silver lead, a bronze lead, or an unqualified lead.
00:05:34.112 --> 00:05:37.793
And essentially, we call it the high-ticket hidden by your finder.
00:05:37.793 --> 00:05:56.322
These agents are able to then spot, as people go through your diagnostic assessment, here are the people who are ticking all of the boxes and are showing us, by their behavior patterns and how they're answering these questions, that they are going to be a 70K client.
00:05:56.322 --> 00:05:58.754
This person's probably going to be a 50K client.
00:05:58.754 --> 00:06:02.315
This person's probably going to around a 15K client.
00:06:02.315 --> 00:06:17.170
And then with automations and all of those fabulous things, it allows us then to make sure that our closers, the sales teams on our client teams, are getting tagged with like, here are the most pressing leads for today.
00:06:17.170 --> 00:06:22.495
And essentially, you know, every single night, we run a hidden high-ticket buyer finder report.
00:06:22.495 --> 00:06:31.733
It's all run automatically that then when the sales team come in the next day, they know exactly who to focus on, exactly who to have the conversations with.
00:06:31.733 --> 00:06:41.920
And then they let the automated follow-up nurture sequences, that is the industry standard, they let those things handle all of those lesser qualified leads.
00:06:42.454 --> 00:06:43.196
Amazing.
00:06:43.196 --> 00:06:51.622
So the AI that you're building for various people and companies is doing so much of that heavy lifting.
00:06:51.622 --> 00:06:57.997
And I can imagine that the conversions then are a lot stronger because nobody is slipping through the cracks.
00:06:57.997 --> 00:06:59.939
It is driven by data.
00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:07.706
So you know who's a hot lead, who's a cold lead, who's someone to not even bother chasing, I suppose, when it comes to business.
00:07:07.706 --> 00:07:09.115
Is that what you're seeing?
00:07:09.721 --> 00:07:12.442
Yeah, so that's one aspect of it.
00:07:12.442 --> 00:07:13.774
And I always talk about it.
00:07:13.774 --> 00:07:16.766
So the diagnostic assessment is the foundation.
00:07:16.766 --> 00:07:17.196
Okay.
00:07:17.196 --> 00:07:23.050
Cause what most people do is they wake up a lead magnet, at best they get a name and email address and maybe a phone number.
00:07:23.050 --> 00:07:30.095
They don't actually know anything about that person, what their struggles are, where they are, what stage of the journey that they are on.
00:07:30.095 --> 00:07:31.896
They don't have any information.
00:07:31.896 --> 00:07:35.459
And then what most people do then is spray and pray marketing.
00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:38.831
They're sending the same email to everybody on their list.
00:07:38.831 --> 00:07:43.569
Just kind of crossing their fingers and hoping that something is going to stick with something on there.
00:07:43.569 --> 00:07:49.312
So these diagnostic assessments do hyper segmentation on our lists from the get go.
00:07:49.312 --> 00:07:53.185
So we know exactly the investment potential of every single lead.
00:07:53.185 --> 00:07:57.889
We know what they're struggling with, what their best areas are, their struggle areas are.
00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:07.399
And then you can do this bespoke follow-up implementation with them, bespoke conversations, bespoke results pages, bespoke reports.
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.641
The whole thing is automated.
00:08:09.641 --> 00:08:25.687
But that foundation must be in place to then allow these, what I call these accelerators, which are the AI agents, they act as the accelerators to have this thing self-optimized on autopilot every single week.
00:08:25.687 --> 00:08:35.092
So the more and more water we put through your pipes, the more and more buyers that we have, the more data that we have about the behavior patterns of our market.
00:08:35.192 --> 00:08:39.576
And then what we're able to do, and again, it's AI agents that do the doing.
00:08:39.576 --> 00:08:41.898
Essentially, they are able to feedback to us.
00:08:41.898 --> 00:08:45.110
Okay, this top-of-funnel Facebook ad copy, for example.
00:08:45.110 --> 00:08:50.243
So let's pretend we're running paid traffic where these are the types of people these are bringing through.
00:08:50.243 --> 00:08:56.488
These people are tending to fall in and buy our 10K thing or 5K thing or a 50K thing.
00:08:56.488 --> 00:09:01.431
And then what we can do with these agents is feedback on a weekly basis.
00:09:01.490 --> 00:09:15.470
Reviewing all of the Facebook ad data, reviewing all of the analytics of how these people went through the diagnostic, because obviously we're able to track all of those parameters and then feedback to the marketing teams to say, here's the angle you need to try.
00:09:15.470 --> 00:09:16.221
Here's what's working.
00:09:16.221 --> 00:09:17.351
Here's what's not working.
00:09:17.351 --> 00:09:22.065
And it's all down to first having that foundational asset in place.
00:09:22.065 --> 00:09:26.768
That is the lead generation machine that most people think is just a quiz.
00:09:26.768 --> 00:09:33.456
And then layering in these agentic AI solutions to turn that into a self-optimizing flywheel.
00:09:33.828 --> 00:09:34.660
Amazing.
00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:36.322
So why a quiz specifically?
00:09:36.322 --> 00:09:39.548
Because a lead magnet can be anything basically.
00:09:39.548 --> 00:09:41.025
It can be it can be an ebook.
00:09:41.025 --> 00:09:44.477
It can be a book chapter download.
00:09:44.477 --> 00:09:47.182
I know that you're big on quiz funnels.
00:09:47.182 --> 00:09:48.153
Why?
00:09:49.147 --> 00:09:50.366
There's a couple of main reasons.
00:09:50.366 --> 00:09:55.587
And when we think about the standard PDF lead magnets, the level of intent is very low.
00:09:55.587 --> 00:09:57.947
So everything is like auto filled for us now.
00:09:57.947 --> 00:09:58.248
Okay.
00:09:58.248 -->
00:10:00.028
So people are scrolling Instagram.
00:10:00.028 --> 00:10:03.827
They see something cool, some PDF guide to whatever.
00:10:04.227 --> 00:10:05.947
And basically it's auto populated.
00:10:05.947 --> 00:10:08.227
They barely remember signing up.
00:10:08.227 --> 00:10:09.967
It's probably going to go to their spam.
00:10:09.967 --> 00:10:13.707
They may open the email, probably don't check the PDF.
00:10:13.807 --> 00:10:15.058
Ghost, you know.
00:10:15.058 --> 00:10:22.585
That's kind of where the journey ends, never mind somebody seeing your call to action on page 14 of said PDF.
00:10:22.585 --> 00:10:23.515
That's one side of it.
00:10:23.515 --> 00:10:24.787
There's a level of intent.
00:10:24.787 --> 00:10:30.669
The other side of it is where we have this desire for self-discovery.
00:10:30.710 --> 00:10:36.471
And when you go through a diagnostic, so for example, you go through Myers-Briggs, I am an INTJ.
00:10:36.471 --> 00:10:38.594
There's an element of self-discovery.
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:41.634
You go through Enneagram, I'm a three with a four wing.
00:10:41.634 --> 00:10:45.856
You learn something about yourself, and it is personalized to you.
00:10:45.856 --> 00:10:57.101
So the beauty of a quiz funnel, in terms of how it solves for the level of intent, is that if somebody is going through our diagnostic, it takes a good eight minutes to go through that.
00:10:57.101 --> 00:11:01.315
That's somebody with a very, very high level of intent.
00:11:01.315 --> 00:11:05.386
There's a lot of know, like, and trust built throughout the process.
00:11:05.607 --> 00:11:07.788
A lot of people talk about completion rates.
00:11:07.788 --> 00:11:10.301
I want my diagnostic to spit people out.
00:11:10.301 --> 00:11:16.696
If somebody doesn't have eight minutes of attention, they're never going to have the intellectual property to be able to work with somebody like me.
00:11:16.696 --> 00:11:19.904
So I actually use it as a filtration mechanism.
00:11:19.904 --> 00:11:21.306
Somebody says, this was too long.
00:11:21.306 --> 00:11:22.005
Great.
00:11:22.005 --> 00:11:23.267
You're not for me.
00:11:23.267 --> 00:11:25.018
OK, So that is one thing.
00:11:25.018 --> 00:11:26.239
There's a buy-in.
00:11:26.239 --> 00:11:28.082
There's a know, like, and trust factor.
00:11:28.082 --> 00:11:31.568
And then the second element here is that it is personalized.
00:11:31.568 --> 00:11:38.240
So when you go through a really well-built diagnostic assessment, you're going to discover something about yourself.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.020
You're going to learn something about yourself.
00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:42.541
You're going to see where you stand.
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.841
Let's pretend it's a score-based assessment.
00:11:44.841 --> 00:11:47.061
You get a score on in this area.
00:11:47.061 --> 00:11:48.341
You're doing really, really well.
00:11:48.341 --> 00:11:50.961
But in this area, you're sitting at 27%.
00:11:50.961 --> 00:11:52.821
Here's where we got to focus.
00:11:52.821 --> 00:11:59.081
But the copy that person one sees is completely different to what person two sees.
00:11:59.081 --> 00:12:23.514
The offers that are placed in front of them are completely different based on everything I just talked about before in terms of A, their ability to invest in themselves; B, the offers that we have available; C, the struggles that they have, and how those things all kind of combine together to make sure that we're putting the right message and the right offer in front of the right person at the right time.
00:12:23.514 --> 00:12:28.446
So there's this kind of duality of level of intent as well as the personalization.
00:12:28.446 --> 00:12:39.422
You're landing on a results page and instead of saying, "Your PDF has been sent to your inbox," and there's that's where the conversation ends, there's a deep-dive results page that is personalized.
00:12:39.422 --> 00:12:41.581
It's saying, "Hey, Tarryn, here's your results.
00:12:41.581 --> 00:12:51.150
Hey, Maeve, here's your result," breaking that down, and it's actually about you, not just some blanket PDF thing that was sprayed out to the whole market.
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:53.270
Yep, I love that.
00:12:53.270 --> 00:13:05.029
Okay, so let's talk about high-performing quiz funnels because, I mean, there's so many programs out there where we can just put together any old quiz and hope for the best, and it's usually pretty crap, to be honest.
00:13:05.029 --> 00:13:10.116
What are the key elements that make a high-performing quiz funnel convert?
00:13:10.774 --> 00:13:11.783
Yes, I love this.
00:13:11.783 --> 00:13:15.625
So basically what we always start is begin with the end in mind.
00:13:15.706 --> 00:13:16.716
A lot of people sit down.
00:13:16.716 --> 00:13:18.028
What could my quiz be?
00:13:18.028 --> 00:13:22.769
Some people go on ChatGPT and like, "create a quiz." That thing's not going to convert.
00:13:22.769 --> 00:13:24.990
We got to begin with the end in mind.
00:13:24.990 --> 00:13:35.395
Coming up with your hook is one of the very last steps in our process where we do this kind of diagnostic infrastructure where we actually build out the architecture of your quiz.
00:13:35.395 --> 00:13:37.317
That comes last, not first.
00:13:37.317 --> 00:13:38.837
So begin with the end in mind.
00:13:38.837 --> 00:13:48.205
We want to what are our offers, where are we sending people, what are the price points, what are we solving for instead of our existing offers.
00:13:48.375 --> 00:14:08.817
Now you can have multiple price points across these offers. You can have multiple offers or you can actually still have one offer that you're going to position differently based on the result that the person gets. So we'll come back to that in a moment, but whenever we begin with the end in mind, we got to then reverse engineer from this offer.
00:14:09.748 --> 00:14:11.589
What's our sales mechanism?
00:14:11.649 -->
00:14:19.455
And the sales mechanism, we're not going to have calls with an application form and calls with a closer for a $47 thing.
00:14:19.455 --> 00:14:20.806
Doesn't make sense.
00:14:21.028 --> 00:14:39.696
And we're probably not going to have a click-and-buy for a $70,000 custom It's going to involve a sales conversation. So we want to choose the sales mechanism, making sure that it's appropriate for said offers that we Now we're back to the sales mechanism.
00:14:39.916 --> 00:14:44.578
Then what we want to do is look at your intellectual property.
00:14:44.578 --> 00:15:03.277
This is the key difference between what I call a "What type of Disney princess are you?" quiz funnel that give quizzes bad raps and a true diagnostic that allows your IP to live beyond the book, to live beyond the stage.
00:15:03.277 --> 00:15:06.717
And essentially, then we call to a decision criteria.
00:15:06.717 --> 00:15:19.815
Are we going to build a multifactorial diagnostic like the Unicorn Leadership Type Assessment that I built for Jen Kem or Enneagram or the Myers-Briggs, those true diagnostics?
00:15:19.815 --> 00:15:24.758
Or do we need a type quiz that has seven questions?
00:15:24.758 --> 00:15:32.764
And that's an example of one that we're building in the golf industry at the moment, and these people are running like a million dollars a month in ads to this quiz at the moment.
00:15:32.764 --> 00:15:35.100
So those are the two ends of the spectrum.
00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:36.721
None of them are better than the other.
00:15:36.721 --> 00:15:39.183
They are just different use cases.
00:15:39.183 --> 00:15:48.682
The one in the middle is what we call a score-based diagnostic, and this is really the most suitable option if you have intellectual property.
00:15:48.682 --> 00:15:53.456
If you think about it in book terms, what are the pillars of your methodology?
00:15:53.456 --> 00:15:57.089
What are the chapters of your book?
00:15:57.089 --> 00:16:02.552
Whereby we want to then append a score to how they're performing in that area.
00:16:02.552 --> 00:16:09.318
And the whole idea is that they're able to see where they've got high scores, medium scores, and low scores.
00:16:09.318 --> 00:16:16.346
And therefore, this builds desire and demand for the offer that we just defined at the very first stage.
00:16:16.346 --> 00:16:21.057
So choose your diagnostic assessment type would be the next stage.
00:16:21.057 --> 00:16:25.259
And then let's pretend you chose a score-based diagnostic.
00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:29.059
What you would want to do then is think about what are those pillars?
00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:32.341
Those become your category scores, right?
00:16:32.341 --> 00:16:37.412
Then within each of these big categories, what are the topics?
00:16:37.412 --> 00:16:40.842
What are the things that make up this particular area?
00:16:40.921 --> 00:16:41.514
Mm-hmm.
00:16:41.514 --> 00:16:41.816
right.
00:16:41.816 --> 00:17:01.219
And then from there, what are the questions that we can ask our potential client or lead coming through that, when they answer it in a certain way, that answer means that they are either getting this type of score or they're this type of label or person.
00:17:01.219 --> 00:17:05.571
Essentially, what we want to make sure here is that we have funnel congruence.
00:17:05.571 --> 00:17:11.263
Let's pretend we have an offer that we defined earlier that is all about synchronized swimming.
00:17:11.463 --> 00:17:18.288
And then we build diagnostic infrastructure and all of these categories and subcategories and questions.
00:17:18.288 --> 00:17:19.748
And those are all about gardening.
00:17:20.181 --> 00:17:30.924
So extreme example, but we can see there's a complete lack of funnel congruence, and the answer that they get and the result that they get does not lend itself well to the offer.
00:17:30.924 --> 00:17:34.240
So this is what happens whenever we use non-performing quizzes.
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.686
There's always a disconnect.
00:17:35.686 --> 00:17:43.490
There's always a lack of congruence between the offers that people are making and the diagnostic criteria that they are using.
00:17:43.804 --> 00:17:57.400
Then once you've kind of mapped out all of those questions, there's a whole load of kind of statistical modeling about the scoring and the weighted scoring and inverse scoring and all of those types of things to make sure that people actually get the right result.
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.894
Because this is also really important from a conversion perspective.
00:18:00.894 --> 00:18:05.773
People must get their result and be like, "Oh my goodness, this is very accurate.
00:18:05.773 --> 00:18:23.273
How do they know that I feel this way?" And then as you move in and build out your results engine, which is, we have these personalized results pages, personalized follow-up reports, the copy, as I mentioned earlier, is different depending on what result you got.
00:18:23.273 --> 00:18:35.560
So if you got, you know, a low score in this area and a medium score in this area and a high score in this area, you're going to see completely different copy to somebody that got a high-high-high or a high-medium-high.
00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:38.260
So that is very, very bespoke.
00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:40.141
And again, then your solution stack.
00:18:40.141 --> 00:18:49.323
When you are in these results pages and follow-up reports, you're able to say to them, "Here's your biggest area of struggle.
00:18:49.323 --> 00:18:51.065
Here's what's happening for you.
00:18:51.065 --> 00:18:52.211
Here's what it feels like.
00:18:52.211 --> 00:19:15.342
Here's what's going to continue to happen if we don't do something about it today." So bring in that urgency factor, and then, "Here's how you do something about it." And then hey presto, the offer that you position in front of them is tailored not only to exactly the results that they just got, but it's also aligned with what
they've just told you that they're able to invest in themselves.
00:19:15.342 --> 00:19:18.954
So it just becomes what we call a no-brainer offer.
00:19:20.384 --> 00:19:22.138
So what comes first, then?
00:19:22.138 --> 00:19:25.625
Is it the book and/or the keynote or the quiz?
00:19:26.806 --> 00:19:28.458
So both work.
00:19:28.458 --> 00:19:36.534
We build a lot of these diagnostic assessments for people who are in their launch runway up to their pub date.
00:19:36.534 --> 00:19:38.516
And it's a really, really good mechanism.
00:19:38.516 --> 00:19:40.027
This is what Jen Kem did.
00:19:40.027 --> 00:19:43.969
She used it as a strategy.
00:19:43.969 --> 00:19:56.203
So that on her pub date, she was already on the bestseller list because she had pre sold so many of the books because we use that diagnostic as a lever inside of that launch.
00:19:56.203 --> 00:19:58.194
So that is one way to use it.
00:19:58.194 --> 00:20:02.146
The other way to use it is to have it inside of the fabric of the book.
00:20:02.146 --> 00:20:19.230
So if you're either starting writing your book or you're in play actually writing your book, weaving your diagnostic assessment into the fabric of the book turns every book buyer and every book leader into this hyper-segmented, hyper-qualified leads.
00:20:19.230 --> 00:20:22.308
And now, that doesn't end at the book.
00:20:22.308 --> 00:20:24.049
They are now inside of your ecosystem.
00:20:24.049 --> 00:20:29.509
You can then go on to nurture them and sell them into various programs over time.
00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:40.049
Now, on the flip side of that, another client of ours who is Mike Kim, he's a big keynote speaker in the States, and his book was a bestseller way back in 2020.
00:20:40.049 --> 00:20:42.369
And we are building his diagnostic now.
00:20:42.369 --> 00:20:54.112
And even though it isn't in the fabric of the book that was published way back then and all of the people that way back then, essentially, it becomes part of your ecosystem.
00:20:54.112 --> 00:20:58.153
So the assessment leads to the book, and the book leads to the assessment.
00:20:58.153 --> 00:21:18.547
And it becomes that piece that allows you to, when you are on the stage, when you are on a podcast, it allows your IP to bring more and more leads into your business in the long term and you can use it at both ends of your book launch.
00:21:18.547 --> 00:21:21.521
There's just different use cases depending on what stage you're at.
00:21:22.087 --> 00:21:23.169
Yeah.
00:21:23.169 --> 00:21:52.141
So, essentially, the book, combined with that diagnostic data, is really pre-selling the author's expertise, offers, brilliance—whatever you want to call it—and qualifying leads before sales calls even happen, which means that the sales call is more of a "Hey, I have a question about this, but I'm pretty much in" scenario versus what we were doing as entrepreneurs before and spending an hour on multiple sales calls to the same people to try and close them.
00:21:52.141 --> 00:21:53.404
Is that right?
00:21:54.134 --> 00:21:54.503
100%.
00:21:54.503 --> 00:21:59.556
So basically, one of my biggest like X in life are these terms called discovery calls.
00:21:59.556 --> 00:22:10.119
Really high-end experts on the cusp of thought leadership and they wake up and they have five or 10 or 15 or whatever the number is discovery calls inside of their calendar.
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.099
Well, there's going to be inside of that.
00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:13.250
We're going to have no shows.
00:22:13.250 --> 00:22:14.721
We're going to have tire-kickers.
00:22:14.721 --> 00:22:16.662
We're going to have maybe-later people.
00:22:16.662 --> 00:22:22.523
And yes, we will have people that convert, but it's a long slog to get to those conversions.
00:22:22.523 --> 00:22:29.935
And the beauty of the diagnostic is every single lead that, for example, comes into our company, we're able to pull up their profile.
00:22:29.935 --> 00:22:39.412
We're able to know exactly what they're struggling with, exactly where we want to focus our sales team, where we want to focus their attention.
00:22:39.412 --> 00:22:47.596
We don't have to, "So tell me all about yourself and what you're struggling with." We already know because they've been through the diagnostic.
00:22:47.596 --> 00:22:53.348
So we're able to both affirm, to say, "You know, in this area, you are absolutely fine.
00:22:53.348 --> 00:23:10.999
There's nothing you need there, but let's go and talk about X because we already know that that's the struggle." And also, we have so much data on what they, um, you know, they're in an ROI niche, for example, their revenue level, their team size, their email list size, their Facebook ad spend.
00:23:10.999 --> 00:23:14.871
We are able to classify how much they're willing to invest in themselves.
00:23:14.871 --> 00:23:18.482
We have all of that data prior to jumping on the call.
00:23:18.482 --> 00:23:29.205
So we're not getting to any awkward, you know, waiting for them to say, "How much is it?" We're already able to have those strategic conversations from the get go.
00:23:29.205 --> 00:23:35.261
And this is why our sales conversations and our client sales conversations are very much,"How does it work?
00:23:35.261 --> 00:23:55.398
When do we start?" And sometimes the question of like, "What's the impact on our team from a build perspective?" you know but It's "how" and "when" conversations, as opposed to "Is this even right for me?" conversations, because the diagnostic does that heavy lifting for you and for your sales team.
00:23:55.895 --> 00:23:56.446
Yep.
00:23:56.446 --> 00:23:57.487
Amazing.
00:23:57.487 --> 00:24:02.550
So you've worked with a lot of seven- and eight-figure thought leaders and entrepreneurs.
00:24:02.550 --> 00:24:10.679
What patterns and insights are you seeing when they're best using diagnostics to scale versus without it?
00:24:10.679 --> 00:24:12.058
Really great questions.
00:24:12.058 --> 00:24:17.640
So, essentially, what we're seeing is there are, you know, as we all know, there's we have to put water in the pipes.
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.221
Just having said diagnostic doesn't mean a dang thing.
00:24:21.221 --> 00:24:24.141
We build done-for-you assessments for our clients.
00:24:24.141 --> 00:24:27.280
And I'm the first person to say, "Put in something on the Internet?
00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:27.842
Irrelevant.
00:24:27.842 --> 00:24:29.461
We've got to get water through the pipes.
00:24:29.461 --> 00:24:31.721
We have those organic choices.
00:24:31.721 --> 00:24:37.241
We have what I call scalable organic choices, and we have paid traffic choices.
00:24:37.342 --> 00:24:41.848
The paid traffic choices is going to get you data faster.
00:24:41.848 --> 00:24:46.623
So you're running water through your pipes, getting data faster on your market.
00:24:46.623 --> 00:25:04.055
And that's also going to show you, when people are going through your diagnostic, you're running cold Facebook ads, for example, and you're starting to see a trend of behavior of,"Gosh, we're getting a lot of people here who are only able to spend less than 10K." That tells us that our rich-niche positioning is off.
00:25:04.055 --> 00:25:10.097
That's telling us that the copy that we're using, the targeting that we're using, is attracting a certain type.
00:25:10.097 --> 00:25:16.490
It gives you kind of that immediate insight into what is happening in your top-of-funnel plates.
00:25:16.490 --> 00:25:18.893
That is one way you're going to get your results faster.
00:25:18.893 --> 00:25:41.904
So we do run paid traffic, but scalable organic is my favorite, where we do a lot of podcast guesting, we do a lot of keynote speaking, bringing your diagnostic to mastermind events to speaking on stage, all of those types of things, because there's a beautiful level of know, like, and trust through that scalable organic mechanism where there's already a connection.
00:25:41.904 --> 00:25:43.536
They have heard you speak.
00:25:43.536 --> 00:25:51.143
They have watched you on stage and then they go through your diagnostic, which then compounds everything they've just heard.
00:25:51.163 --> 00:25:55.727
And then for those who have, so just running organic only.
00:25:56.019 --> 00:26:02.902
I'll always use the example, it's like if you're a thought leader and you have, you know, 500 million followers.
00:26:02.902 --> 00:26:07.683
You sharing your diagnostic is going to get a lot of water through your pipes.
00:26:07.683 --> 00:26:13.307
But if you're posting once a month and you have six followers, that's not really going to be a needle-mover inside of the business.
00:26:13.307 --> 00:26:27.815
So what I'm noticing with these seven-, eight-, and sometimes even nine-figure entrepreneurs that we work with, these are some of the biggest, most famous names in the industry, they are leveraging the diagnostic through their kind of what I would call their book channel.
00:26:27.815 --> 00:26:38.390
So writing the book, launching the book, bringing their books, speaking on stage and using their book as the methodology, and the conversation that the keynotes are all about.
00:26:38.589 --> 00:26:42.231
They are running a blend of paid traffic.
00:26:42.231 --> 00:26:51.246
Then they're using the scalable organic, the podcast guest, and the speaking on stage to really bring in like a really warm audience through that diagnostic.
00:26:51.246 --> 00:27:03.990
And again, we can start to see difference in patterns buyer behavior from cold traffic versus scalable organic, and then for those who are also layered into your organic strategies.
00:27:04.230 --> 00:27:09.250
But again, it depends on your audience size as to how that is going to perform.
00:27:09.410 --> 00:27:17.931
One of my favorite ways to get started with this, we have a lot of clients and they're like, "Well, I've got 500,000 people on my email list.
00:27:17.931 --> 00:27:31.213
I feel like I've wasted all of those leads because, you know, we don't have them segmented." Part of the launch strategy of your diagnostic is to push every person on your existing email list back through your diagnostic.
00:27:31.213 --> 00:27:41.576
So yes, it's not a new lead, but you're already getting all of this data, all of this insight into the people that you're serving and then how you can better serve them.
00:27:41.576 --> 00:27:51.730
And it never fails to tell us exactly why those who we are, we're trying to sell a square peg round hole.
00:27:51.730 --> 00:27:56.286
We're trying to sell something to people that don't want what we have to offer.
00:27:56.286 --> 00:28:02.314
But when you put them through the diagnostic, you realize that's why they were never going to buy that thing in the first place.
00:28:02.314 --> 00:28:06.557
And we're able to then write offers to the right people at the right time.
00:28:07.230 --> 00:28:08.361
Amazing.
00:28:08.423 --> 00:28:09.183
All right.
00:28:09.183 --> 00:28:12.931
So we've got them going through what you call The Client Engine.
00:28:12.931 --> 00:28:17.779
If someone is wanting to start this process, what are the first steps they should take?
00:28:18.913 --> 00:28:21.468
So the first step is IP mapping.
00:28:21.468 --> 00:28:24.391
That's the fancy term for basically what is your intellectual property?
00:28:24.391 --> 00:28:25.642
What is your methodology?
00:28:25.642 --> 00:28:26.683
What is your framework?
00:28:26.683 --> 00:28:29.467
You're, you know, there's a thousand ways to call this thing.
00:28:29.467 --> 00:28:35.454
So if you are an au—prescriptive nonfiction author, what is the IP that you are sharing?
00:28:35.454 --> 00:28:44.259
We want to get that into a structured format where we're able to clearly categorize, you know, this pillar, this pillar, and this pillar.
00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:46.181
We got to have intellectual property.
00:28:46.181 --> 00:28:49.047
And a lot of
people don't necessarily call it that.
00:28:49.047 --> 00:28:54.164
They just have their way that they get brilliant transformation for their clients.
00:28:54.164 --> 00:29:03.648
So the first stage is really being able to extract that IP and understand how that could even turn into a diagnostic in the first place.
00:29:03.761 --> 00:29:07.483
And having this, these offers as well is really, really important.
00:29:07.483 --> 00:29:12.606
So we don't want to, let's pretend we have offers that aren't converting overly well.
00:29:12.606 --> 00:29:17.871
What can a quiz funnel assessment in front of that isn't going to solve for that problem?
00:29:17.871 --> 00:29:21.751
So we want to make sure that we have offers that are converting.
00:29:21.751 --> 00:29:33.882
We know that people want what we have, but what we're actually struggling with is knowing what is the right offer for the right person, and often what's happening is we're doing this blanket marketing.
00:29:33.882 --> 00:29:41.530
We're sending the same stuff to everybody on our list, hoping that something's going to stick instead of having that specific prescription.
00:29:41.651 --> 00:29:48.512
So having those offers, knowing that they're solving for the right problems is really, really important.
00:29:49.175 --> 00:30:01.744
So I can see also then that I know a lot of entrepreneurs struggle with their offer as well, exactly what to include in it, how to market it, how to write the sales page, all that sort of thing.
00:30:01.744 --> 00:30:16.894
So I can see that a diagnostic tool like the ones that you are creating can help them to clarify their message and sell it effectively, which is absolutely gold in the market, right?
00:30:16.954 --> 00:30:21.541
I would love to hear about your favorite diagnostic.
00:30:21.541 --> 00:30:27.300
Give us an example that has completely changed the game for one of your clients.
00:30:27.300 --> 00:30:31.183
This is one of the ones that's a multi-factor diagnostic.
00:30:31.183 --> 00:30:35.647
It was for Jen Kem, who wrote the bestselling book, Unicorn Teen.
00:30:35.667 --> 00:30:51.981
And essentially, she built into this, and we built into this as we were designing it, virality component where she used it as a pre book pub strategy to get tens of thousands of sales before her book even got published.
00:30:52.031 --> 00:30:57.537
What she did was, the way we built this, that it was a very, very shareable thing.
00:30:57.537 --> 00:30:59.439
And people go through it.
00:30:59.439 --> 00:31:02.162
So I, for example, am a mobilizing strategizer.
00:31:02.162 --> 00:31:06.115
That was my result at the end of taking the assessment.
00:31:06.115 --> 00:31:13.762
It is eerily accurate, so specific, and so much value in the report that you get.
00:31:13.762 --> 00:31:20.355
It literally is like, like bearing your soul and you really realize, "Oh my goodness, this is how I perform.
00:31:20.355 --> 00:31:24.199
This is why I am, you know, this little tech gremlin that, you know, that works in the background.
00:31:24.199 --> 00:31:29.354
This is why this is my zone of genius." And that does a couple of things.
00:31:29.354 --> 00:31:34.738
A, it really allows you to lean into that as the user of the assessment.
00:31:34.750 --> 00:31:47.721
How this became so powerful and how she was able to sell like hundred-thousand-dollar contracts off the back of her assessment was that not only did you get that insight, but everybody started to talk about, "Oh, well, what are you?
00:31:47.721 --> 00:32:16.760
And what are you?" There's this conversation happening around people having this dawning realization as to what their Unicorn Leadership Type was, the realization of, "Here's why things are the way they are inside my company." So we put all of our team through the same assessment, started to understand, "Here's why, you know, these people maybe are already butting heads," or, "This is why these two people work so well together," because they had complementary types, and it becomes this shareable.
00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:29.011
This is a kind of building in this virality piece and not in the cheap and nasty way, but in a true"Here's my result, what's yours?" And then the next person would take it and the next person would take it and the next person would take it.
00:32:29.011 --> 00:32:44.945
And then that ultimately just turns into a massive flywheel that sells not just more, more copies for the book launch day because that's done and dusted, but it turns into a perennial bestseller because it's a continuing conversation out there in the market.
00:32:45.563 --> 00:32:47.575
Yep, awesome.
00:32:47.575 --> 00:32:52.739
So just to clarify, is there a difference between a quiz and a diagnostic?
00:32:53.362 --> 00:32:54.262
Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:54.262 --> 00:32:57.739
So what I would say is those are the three pieces that we talked about earlier.
00:32:57.739 --> 00:33:11.748
So that the quiz funnel is more kind of on the fun end of things, super high volume of leads coming through, maybe six or seven questions, probably a single-question diagnostic that there's only actually one question in there that is determined in their results.
00:33:11.828 --> 00:33:15.309
And that is kind of more what I would say fun.
00:33:15.309 --> 00:33:18.242
It's a really, really, really useful thing.
00:33:18.242 --> 00:33:30.537
A really useful lead magnet, but it doesn't probably have the gravitas that a Unicorn Leadership Type or an Enneagram or that type of diagnostic, the multi-factor.
00:33:30.537 --> 00:33:32.287
So those are kind of the two ends of the spectrum.
00:33:32.287 --> 00:33:37.058
The quiz funnel is the quick, fast, easy, qualified lead generator.
00:33:37.058 --> 00:33:44.622
The multi-factor diagnostic at the other end of the spectrum is where essentially your IP becomes a household name.
00:33:44.622 --> 00:33:46.913
So Myers-Briggs, I'm INTJ.
00:33:46.913 --> 00:33:50.224
Everybody knows
their Myers-Briggs.
00:33:50.224 --> 00:33:51.295
They know their result.
00:33:51.295 --> 00:33:53.526
It becomes a household name.
00:33:53.589 --> 00:33:56.990
And then between these two, it's not the lesser cousin.
00:33:56.990 --> 00:34:00.391
This is a super, super powerful diagnostic.
00:34:00.391 --> 00:34:04.871
The diagnostic we have inside our company is a score-based diagnostic.
00:34:04.871 --> 00:34:16.471
And this is the one where if you have pillars inside of your methodology, where you're appending, giving people a score or telling them how they're getting on inside each of these pillars.
00:34:16.471 --> 00:34:20.032
And therefore, here's why my offer works for you.
00:34:20.032 --> 00:34:23.262
That is a score-based diagnostics.
00:34:23.262 --> 00:34:26.916
So those are the three main types and it's just a case by case basis.
00:34:26.916 --> 00:34:28.331
One isn't better than the other.
00:34:28.331 --> 00:34:31.280
It just depends on your intellectual property.
00:34:31.793 --> 00:34:35.025
I know we've spoken about it working for our high-ticket offers.
00:34:35.025 --> 00:34:37.730
What about scalable digital products?
00:34:40.132 --> 00:34:43.813
Yeah, so this is absolutely incredibly powerful.
00:34:43.813 --> 00:34:45.213
Yeah, it works amazingly well for those.
00:34:45.213 --> 00:34:49.514
One of the things we do when we're designing those offers that we talk about.
00:34:49.534 --> 00:34:53.153
So what is your ascension model or what is your dissension model?
00:34:53.454 --> 00:35:03.614
And part of that can be we ran this for years whenever I had a group coaching, you know, kind of 10K program that I ran for five years before we moved into complete done-for-you services.
00:35:03.614 --> 00:35:13.786
And that was the model of the $47 courses with the $7 bump and the$97 OTO and then enter $997 and then into your 10k.
00:35:13.786 --> 00:35:15.806
That was essentially the structure.
00:35:15.806 --> 00:35:20.786
But at the back end of the diagnostic, it was always starting with that micro product.
00:35:20.786 --> 00:35:27.586
So somebody comes through, they tell us their biggest struggle area was creating an offer that converts.
00:35:27.606 --> 00:35:37.532
"Well, hey, presto, here's our micro product or $47 thing that shows you how to create a converting coaching offer, consulting offer." Yep.
00:35:37.532 --> 00:35:40.630
the positioning of those micro products works beautifully.
00:35:40.838 --> 00:35:42.460
Yep, that makes total sense.
00:35:42.460 --> 00:36:02.896
So we've spoken a lot about all things data, which, I mean, I find very interesting, but we also want to know about you as a person, Maeve, because you are pretty incredible balancing running a multi-six-figure consultancy, raising two young kids living on a horse farm, which, by the way, is incredibly cool.
00:36:02.896 --> 00:36:16.920
What does sustainable success—because us mamas, we run multiple businesses, we do all the things that motherhood
requires, but it has to be sustainable otherwise we burn out.
00:36:18.063 --> 00:36:21.126
And there's not enough coffee in the world that can sustain us then.
00:36:21.126 --> 00:36:24.409
So what does sustainable success look like for you?
00:36:26.202 --> 00:36:27.293
Yeah, I love this.
00:36:27.293 --> 00:36:28.675
This really, really speaks to me.
00:36:28.675 --> 00:36:33.931
So a number of years back, and I'll give you the CliffNotes version, I am in my early thirties.
00:36:33.931 --> 00:36:40.347
You know, it was a long, time ago now, but I caught a virus, and I spent four years in bed.
00:36:40.347 --> 00:36:47.775
So I was in a wheelchair, could not lift, had to have cup of tea, just horribly ill for four years.
00:36:47.811 --> 00:36:56.317
And so every single thing inside of our company, every single thing inside of our business, is built with such intentionality that that never happens again.
00:36:56.317 --> 00:37:00.239
And these are different now because, as you said, I have two young kids at the time of recording.
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:01.440
They are five and three.
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.882
So still pretty little and easier than it was months ago, but they're still pretty little.
00:37:06.974 --> 00:37:12.942
And then we have a horse farm with about 60 horses, 30 cattle, a dog, a cat, all the things.
00:37:12.942 --> 00:37:16.826
Swimming lessons, just started school, crash, everything.
00:37:16.867 --> 00:37:27.643
And building that, the scalable, sustainable business around what I call real life, essentially, for us that comes down to agentic AI solutions.
00:37:27.643 --> 00:37:39.293
Before you used to scale with team you had more and more people, and whenever I worked in the private equity industry and managed a team of 47 people, I'm a really good leader, really good manager.
00:37:39.293 --> 00:37:49.985
But scaling a team and running a team and growing a team requires a lot of time, and this is why we have gone very heavy on agentic AI solutions.
00:37:49.985 --> 00:38:08.632
We still have our core ninja team, of course, but we're leveraging agentic AI where possible inside of the company, from marketing to sales to client delivery to operations to finance, building all of these solutions, both for our own business and for all of our clients.
00:38:08.632 --> 00:38:24.677
For example, our YouTube production agent or our podcast production agent collapses what used to be 12 hours of work and VAs and all of the things that is now an agentic AI solution that has that thing sorted in minutes.
00:38:24.677 --> 00:38:30.021
No horrible AI, like, AI written copy or any of those awful things.
00:38:30.021 --> 00:38:38.230
Everything is in our own words, but we're using really smart solutions to allow us to leverage our time.
00:38:38.487 --> 00:38:39.396
Yeah.
00:38:39.478 --> 00:38:51.188
So for those people whose calendars are still booked out with the 20 plus discovery calls a day that they're having to spend an hour
each on, that is just sucking the joy and the life out of their souls.
00:38:51.188 --> 00:38:56.864
What is one piece of advice that you would say to those people to stop chasing leads and start attracting them?
00:38:56.864 --> 00:38:59.684
Building a diagnostic is a piece of work.
00:38:59.684 --> 00:39:02.505
So there's an infrastructure build there.
00:39:02.505 --> 00:39:05.773
So it is not whack it up, and it'll be live tomorrow.
00:39:05.773 --> 00:39:17.146
What I would suggest there as you're building this in the background over the next takes about 30 days, as you're building that diagnostic infrastructure in the background, shift your rich-niche positioning.
00:39:17.146 --> 00:39:41.905
And this was the single move that I made inside of my business that shifted me from serving the life coaches of the world who didn't really have their own IP and they maybe woke up and decided, "Maybe I'll be a life coach," serving that end of the market to instead being sought-after by the biggest, biggest names of the industry.
00:39:41.905 --> 00:39:43.556
Selena Soo is a client of mine.
00:39:43.556 --> 00:39:44.737
John Briggs is a client of mine.
00:39:44.737 --> 00:39:46.057
Jen Kem is a client of mine.
00:39:46.057 --> 00:39:46.583
Mike Kim.
00:39:46.583 --> 00:39:52.085
All of these, like, people that I used to literally idolize.
00:39:52.085 --> 00:39:54.188
These people are now coming to me.
00:39:54.188 --> 00:39:58.913
They are now my clients because of this rich-niche positioning shift.
00:39:58.913 --> 00:40:18.822
The simple version of how to make that work is whenever we look at our copy, whenever we look at our positioning, are we speaking to and attracting the broke-ass end of our market, the struggle-bus people, or are we speaking to those that we know like, you know, I already know you are amazing at what you do.
00:40:18.822 --> 00:40:19.775
You have intellectual property?
00:40:19.775 --> 00:40:22.436
You're probably already at multi-seven figures.
00:40:22.436 --> 00:40:23.858
Here's the problem, though.
00:40:23.858 --> 00:40:25.898
Your IP ends inside the book.
00:40:25.898 --> 00:40:28.021
Your IP ends in the stage.
00:40:28.021 --> 00:40:31.248
And if you aren't on, the lead flow stops.
00:40:31.248 --> 00:40:33.034
The qualified lead flow stops.
00:40:33.034 --> 00:40:35.335
That is a very different human being.
00:40:35.335 --> 00:40:37.940
Speaking about keynote, speaking about having written a book.
00:40:37.940 --> 00:40:46.327
That's a very different person to somebody where you're saying, "Do you want to create and sell your group coaching offer?" It's completely different.
00:40:46.327 --> 00:41:05.317
So speak to different aspirations, speak to different air quotes, hate the word struggles, but speak to different struggles, because whenever you're helping rich-niche people, their problems are entirely different to the problems of the struggle-bus people in your market.
00:41:05.317 --> 00:41:08.166
Yep, 100%.
00:41:08.166 --> 00:41:11.023
That's the quick and easy 24-hour shift.
00:41:12.242 --> 00:41:12.711
I love it.
00:41:12.711 --> 00:41:16.347
If only only took 24 hours, that would be amazing, wouldn't it?
00:41:16.548 --> 00:41:22.478
Now, Maeve, what is one thing that we haven't spoken about yet in this area that we should have?
00:41:25.521 --> 00:41:39.831
Ooh, I feel it is the flywheel effect of how this one piece of infrastructure can completely transform every aspect of the business.
00:41:39.831 --> 00:41:42.543
There's so much freaking noise out there.
00:41:42.543 --> 00:41:44.014
Everything is noisy.
00:41:44.014 --> 00:41:45.445
Everything is busy.
00:41:45.445 --> 00:41:48.907
We feel like we're driving people to a hundred different places.
00:41:48.907 --> 00:41:58.592
When we have this one real diagnostic piece of infrastructure, marketing becomes simpler.
00:41:58.652 --> 00:42:00.713
Selling becomes simpler.
00:42:01.242 --> 00:42:03.463
All of the, you know, what are the angles?
00:42:03.463 --> 00:42:04.304
What are the plays?
00:42:04.304 --> 00:42:05.128
What are the moves?
00:42:05.128 --> 00:42:14.413
Strategic planning becomes simpler because the the agentic solutions that are built onto the back end of these assessments tell us exactly what to do.
00:42:14.413 --> 00:42:16.172
It helps us with client delivery.
00:42:16.172 --> 00:42:25.838
So you're able to assess people as they're coming through the door and then you're able to measure and monitor where they are after three months, after six months, after 12 months of working with you.
00:42:25.838 --> 00:42:44.259
Not only does that give your client the feeling of progress and success and that they're doing really well, but it also provides you with a testimonial flight where you actually have the data and the metrics to prove and show, "Here is the shift from when people start working with me within 90 days.
00:42:44.259 --> 00:42:47.039
Here's the average of what happens within 120 days.
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:48.686
Here's the average of what happens.
00:42:48.686 --> 00:42:55.059
So These assessments give you so much ammunition for all of the departments inside your company.
00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:57.181
It's not just a quiz fill.
00:42:57.181 --> 00:43:01.733
It's not just a way to, you know, whack up this little thing and generate a few leads.
00:43:01.733 --> 00:43:06.556
It is a fundamental part of the infrastructure of thought leader businesses.
00:43:06.818 --> 00:43:08.780
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
00:43:08.780 --> 00:43:11.603
Maeve, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us today.
00:43:11.603 --> 00:43:17.286
I think you are so incredibly smart and inspirational, and I love what you've created.
00:43:17.286 --> 00:43:19.168
So thank you so much for your time.
00:43:19.168 --> 00:43:32.297
Before I let you run though, and this is purely selfish on my behalf to build my amazing to-be-read list, because I own a publishing company as well as doing UGC modeling, all that fun stuff.
00:43:32.898 --> 00:43:38.496
We want to what book has impacted you either personally or professionally?
00:43:39.588 --> 00:43:45.550
So this book, it isn't out long, but I have already have a dog ears.
00:43:45.550 --> 00:43:49.592
I have read it and reread it and read it and reread it and read it.
00:43:49.592 --> 00:43:50.914
I would call myself like a gremlin.
00:43:50.914 --> 00:43:54.016
Like I just get lost in backend infrastructure.
00:43:54.016 --> 00:43:55.195
I love it.
00:43:55.393 --> 00:44:03.043
But that doesn't necessarily help you in the realm of networking, conversing with people.
00:44:03.043 --> 00:44:07.690
I go to a lot of events, go to a lot of masterminds, etc.
00:44:07.731 --> 00:44:10.771
And I call myself kind of an awkward person.
00:44:10.771 --> 00:44:17.688
So I'm the one that is like, "Oh, think of something cool to say." Like, that's just how I feel.
00:44:17.688 --> 00:44:21.791
Probably it know what comes across like that, but that's how I'm feeling internally.
00:44:22.432 --> 00:44:23.202
Selena Soo.
00:44:23.202 --> 00:44:28.418
So we built her diagnostic for her amazing bestseller book called Rich Relationships.
00:44:28.418 --> 00:44:36.487
And this is my book that I would recommend because it is literally her lifetime body of work inside of this one book.
00:44:36.487 --> 00:44:39.219
And it has helped me so immensely.
00:44:39.219 --> 00:44:45.784
It has helped me really understand the power of relationship-building and how important it is.
00:44:45.784 --> 00:44:57.918
But most importantly, how to do it well and how to do it intentionally and how to build the right relationships with the right people in a really natural way.
00:44:57.918 --> 00:45:01.681
I can only describe it as completely transformed my business.
00:45:01.681 --> 00:45:04.195
I get invitations now to speak on stages.
00:45:04.195 --> 00:45:08.681
I'm in all of these rooms with things that I used to dream about a few years back.
00:45:08.681 --> 00:45:12.324
And it's happening fast because I've read the book.
00:45:12.324 --> 00:45:13.936
I have absorbed the book.
00:45:13.936 --> 00:45:15.668
I'm implementing the book.
00:45:15.668 --> 00:45:18.612
It is a really, really powerful read.
00:45:19.153 --> 00:45:19.724
Amazing.
00:45:19.724 --> 00:45:23.005
I actually haven't read that one yet, but you've sold it to me already.
00:45:23.005 --> 00:45:25.918
So I'm gonna go and hop on that.
00:45:25.918 --> 00:45:29.170
Maeve, thank you so much for being a guest on The Tarryn Reeves Show today.
00:45:29.170 --> 00:45:38.346
