Hey, everyone. This is Russell Brunson, and welcome to a rainy Marketing in Your Car. Hey, everyone, I hope you’re doing awesome. I’m actually pretty happy right now that my voice is mostly here. I teach a Sunday school class, and yesterday I couldn’t even … I kept trying to talk and my voice is like peeking out. It sounded like I was a 15-year-old teenage boy with my voice cracking all the time, so today it’s doing alright. I’ve been up for a few hours. I already had lifting and wrestling practice, which was awesome and amazing. Now, I’m heading to the office for a little bit. But this week, it’s our Christmas week, so I can’t work too hard because I’ve got to play with my kids too, but I do have some big things that we’ve got to get out of the way and get done.

I wanted to share with you guys kind of a unique win that happened this weekend that was … It was kind of unexpected. I hope that everyone starts funnel hacking this and copying this because it was really, really cool. As you guys know, and as I’ve been preaching for the last few months now, my thoughts on Periscope, and Facebook mentions, and all those kinds of platforms, right? We’ve been trying to slowly and organically grow our audience, and make it bigger and better each time. It’s been pretty cool. Last week, Mike Filsaime was launching EverWebinar, which is an automated webinar platform.

It’s kind of this weird thing. We didn’t want to promote it because we have our own automated webinar platform, but he’s also our number one affiliate, and his software is really, really good. It was kind of this thing finally we decided last minute, “Yeah, we’re going to help promote this, but we’ve got to do it in a way that’s different and cool and help people understand.” Yes, ClickFunnels has automated webinar software, but this is kind of like if you want to take that concept deep. This software does a lot more then what we offer, to be honest. That’s kind of what the promotion was.

We started the promotion, and made a really good bonus offer, and it didn’t sell very well. I think we sold like 30 the first day, and it was like 10 the second day, and then like 1 or 2 after that. I was like “Huh. Well, that sucks.” We tried to help him out, and I was just like, “Ah, it’s not really working.” I think the biggest problem they had was they’re selling automated webinar software, but they didn’t do a webinar to sell it, which I thought was kind of strange. I thought, “I’m just going to do my own webinar,” because I think that’s a better way to do it.

Last Saturday, so a little over a week ago, I started scripting out a webinar. I had it on paper, but I actually didn’t get to the slides. Last week ended up being crazy, all these things I was trying to get done, so I never had time to do the webinar. It comes to Thursday, and Mike’s like, “Hey, you’re in the lead, but these other dudes are catching up to you. And you should promote it again.” I was like “Oh crap. I was going to do a webinar, but I didn’t.” I was just like, “I don’t think anyone else is going to buy it based on how I was doing it.” Then I had this epiphany. It was like angels from heaven were singing and they said, “Why don’t you do the Perfect Webinar live on Periscope and Facebook Mentions? That way you don’t have to create PowerPoint slides.” I was like “Sweet!” Because I know the pitch, I know what I wanted to put in there.

I was like, “I don’t think people are going to spend 90 minutes on Periscope, but maybe I can do a condensed version.” So I got out my white board, I wrote out the one thing, wrote out the 3 secrets. I have these cool white boards that slide over, so I slide it over, and the second white board I built out the stack. I had the stack, and then I got these white pieces of paper to kind of cover up the stack, and I covered it up. That was all my prep. I opened up Periscope, opened up Facebook Mentions, and I started talking, and I did a 25 minute version live of the Perfect Webinar. It was awesome. I did it in front of the white board, and I slide it over, and I showed the stack. I pulled the papers off each one and did the whole thing exactly the way I show everyone.

I scripted it out to go over the 3 core belief patterns, and I followed it to a T. We did that. What’s crazy i...

Hey, good morning everybody. This is Russell Brunson, and welcome to Marketing In Your Car, everyone. Today is the day I’m going to talk about two of my favorite words. These two words have made me more money, than I think, pretty much anything in the history of my life. If you could learn these two words, it’s done, that’s all you need.

Well, that’s not true. You’ve got to have a good offer, good product, good reputation, good brand, all the things you got to do it right. If you have all those and you want to turn that into money, the two magic words are, you ready for it? Number one is “urgency,” and number two is “scarcity.” That’s it. If you can have those two things, along with an amazing offer in front of the right audience, it’s game over.

Here’s the back story. Last January, so a year ago, it’s not quite January yet but almost, Vince Palko from Adtoons.com, super cool dude, he’s the inventor of the hand sketched doodle video. Anyway, he messaged me, “Hey man, what are your goals for next year?” I’m like, “Why?” He said, “I’ll make you a cool gift.” I wrote down about a handful of goals and sent them over to him and he ended up sketching this amazing… it’s awesome, it’s just the coolest thing, it’s like this huge picture with all my goals drawn out in cartoon format and this really progression between, it was amazing.

He does that if you go to AdToons.com and message him, “Hey Vince, here’s a million bucks please draw my visions so they can become true,” and he’ll do it. He did that and sent it to me and I got it blown up and I put it on my wall and it’s just been there. I didn’t even think about it at the time but it’s a year ago, my goal was only work close with 100 entrepreneurs in my Inner Circle, that’s what I said.

At the time back then I think we only had 25 people in the Inner Circle, and it’s $25,000.00 a piece and to get a 100 I think that would be pretty awesome, but it was outside my reality, but it was a goal I put up there. Then fast forward over the last 12 months we have our Ignite program at $12,000.00 and our Inner Circle at $25,000.00. We’ve be selling both of those and it’s been doing well. Obviously a lot of people are going to the Ignite program. I think we sold 180 or so people into Ignite and Inner Circle kept growing as well. It’s been interesting, as Inner Circle has been moving forward it’s exponentially been growing, I think that’s the right word, where it keeps getting bigger faster. I think that we do a really good job with that. I’m really proud of it. Then people find out and then more people find out and it’s just kind of growing organically really quickly.

About a month ago I was looking at it. Inner Circle has grown actually faster than the Ignite program which is interesting because it’s more than twice as much money. The people in the Inner Circle are honestly my dream clients. Most of them have some amazing things happening. They just need some directional things, or feedback or bounce back ideas and just cool stuff like that where it’s awesome.

I had this idea and I was actually looking at my sketch with Vince and I saw it said, “Work closely with 100 people.” I think right now I’m working close with the 50 or 60 that are Inner Circle and then a little bit further distance with Ignite and then everything we’re doing. I was like, “What if we just shut down everything except for the Inner Circle and just focus on getting 100 people in there and I just really close with those 100 people, and if someone leaves and a spot opens we can refill but just actually close it down. Say there’s a 100 spots and when they’re gone, they’re gone and just kind of do that.”

It took a little while to get all the pieces in place so that we wouldn’t drop any balls and we can continue to service all the people who had bought Ignite up to this point. A few weeks ago we stopped selling Ignite, no more selling Ignite. We’re servicing those who are in but we are not selling anymore. Let’s just focus on Inner Circle. If we’re going to get 100 people, then how’s it going to work? There are some mastermind groups where they have 100 people in it’s like stupid, it’s like going to a semin...

---Transcript---

Hey everyone, this is Russell. Tonight it is cold outside, but we’re still about to do a Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone, I hope things are going amazing for you. Heading home from the office today, and just keep getting more and more excited about how simple and stupid my plan is for next year. The angle’s always world domination, and the strategy’s changed so many times, but look at the people in our coaching group that have made the most amount of money, the things that have made me the most amount of money. It’s all had to do with one core focus. It comes down to this. If you’re taking notes, write it down right now. If you’re in a car, pull over so you can focus a 100% because this is the key. Okay, and I talked about his on my periscope, the one that I told you guys about yesterday that we did 150k sales on it. The key is having a live event every Thursday, and the one singular goal of your entire company is to get at least a thousand people a week onto that webinar.

That’s it. It’s kind of like the whole ‘apple a day keeps the doctor away’. A thousands registrants a week for your webinar keeps money flowing. We were doing the math on that. Let’s just say, and I don’t have the numbers in front of me cause I’m driving, as you guys know, but say you have a thousand people a week to register. This is all sources, so Facebook, solo ads, email ads, Twitter, social media. Everything you’re doing is all pushing towards this one event that’s happening ever single week. You’re just focusing on that. Okay, and so you’re doing that. You have a thousand people to register. From that, you get thirty percent show up rate, right? That drops to three hundred who show up, and then your call to action … Let’s say you follow the perfect webinar script, if you don’t follow it, you get like 1% closure. You follow the perfect webinar script, you’re at 10% close rate. That means of the 330 people give you a thousand dollars from that webinar, so you just made 30,000 dollars.

The math on that, let’s say you should be averaging between 3 and 5 dollars per webinar registrant. Let’s just say we spent 5 dollars per registrant, and we’ve got thousands. You pay 5 grand, and you make 30, okay. Now, what is that? If I was talking to my kids right now I’d say, “Son, you call that arbitrage, okay.” I put in 5,000 dollars on Monday through Thursday. Thursday night, I get 30,000 dollars back, boom. I didn’t just get that because a couple other things are going to happen.

Second off, from Thursday night to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we’re going to be focusing on our replay sequence, okay. Now, there are a lot of different things you can do in a replay sequence. You can just send out the replay. You can send out urgency and scarcity we talked about a couple days ago. You can do a whole bunch of cool things, but if you do it right, you should be able to double your sales from the replay sequence, okay. Because think about it, you had 1,000 register, only 300 showed up. Only 10 percent of those people bought. You only had thirty people out of a thousand. That means you have a whole crap ton of other people haven’t bought yet, and so you’re job is to follow up with those people and get them to buy. Give them some urgency, some scarcity, do some cool things, maybe do a periscope, rant close Saturday night trying to get them to buy, whatever it is. You’re pushing these people to take action and to give you money and to close.

If you do it right, you should double your sales. That means that 30,000 now turned into 60,000. You have 5,000 dollars in, 60,000 dollars back out. You have more than 10X your money that week, which is pretty good, right? You’re like sweet this is a good business. I put 5 grand in on Monday, I get 60,000 back out by Sunday at midnight. You do that every single week.

Let’s say that was all you did. I don’t have a calculator here, and I’m not smart enough to do the math while I’m driving, but if you do that, 60 grand times 52 weeks, what’s that end up being? Whatever, 3 million bucks or something, right? Your cost, 5 grand times 52 weeks, you’re at 250 grand. You put in a quarter of a million bucks, you made 3 million, or whatever that is. That’s a great business. That’s more than most people will do ever. That’s re...
