Here's another success story we'd like to share with our community. Sandy went from survival mode to scaling toward $50K months with Alpha Coast. After 26 years in business, Sandy had a record month in December while everyone else thought it was slow. She just upgraded and signed on for a full year with us after her initial 3-month trial! Next milestone is 50k! 🙌

Wkly Mastermind w Maryse Williams to Accelerate Your Growth - October 31 VIEW RECORDING - 60 mins (No highlights) Meeting Purpose To learn from Maryse Williams' business growth journey and discuss effective marketing strategies. Key Takeaways - LinkedIn is the superior platform for career coaches. It attracts high-intent prospects and builds trust via shared connections, unlike Meta/Google Ads, which yield low-quality leads and poor ROI. - Build the business as you go. Avoid analysis paralysis by launching with a simple offer and letting early customer feedback define your product. - Price for value, not just cost. A large price increase (e.g., $429 → $979) creates urgency and signals value, while a small one (e.g., $429 → $479) does not. - Organic engagement is more effective than chasing viral posts. Viral posts are often artificially boosted; authentic comments and SEO-driven newsletters build real trust and authority. Topics The Problem: Ineffective Marketing Channels - Maryse Williams' (Jobmorph) early marketing efforts on Meta, Nextdoor, and Google Ads were a "money pit," wasting ~$15k. - Platform-Specific Failures: Meetup: High effort for low return (3–4 customers). Facebook Ads: Generated many leads, but conversions were minimal. Google Ads: Cost was disproportionate to the handful of sales. LinkedIn Ads: Very expensive with poor ROI, as users search for profiles, not scroll the feed. - Root Cause: Hired generalist marketers lacking specific experience with career coaching.
