Offer vs Product: What's the Difference?

First things first, let's clear up some confusion. An 'offer' is what you're willing to provide, while a 'product' is the actual good or service. It sounds simple, but many people mix these up. Keep these definitions in your back pocket - they're going to be super important!

Offer = Your offer is what you’re willing to do and the parameters around your relationship serving your clients. Your offer is what makes people buy.

Program = Your program is the product itself; the cont...

The one pager should incorporate social proof, such as testimonials or data, to validate the program's effectiveness. It is an important tool for initiating conversat...

Taking the leap into business-to-business (B2B) sales can be a daunting task, particularly if your experience has been primarily in business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. However, by understanding the key differences and strategies involved in B2B transactions, you can confidently navigate this new terrain and potentially close deals worth millions.

Understanding B2B and B2C

At its core, B2B involves selling your course or program licenses to an organization, with quantities ranging from 10 to 1000, depending on the size of the organization and their needs. Conversely, B2C sales involve selling individual seats to your courses or programs, typically to individual consumers.

Due to the larger conversations, higher stakes, and greater investments required, B2B sales often require a longer time to close compared to B2C sales. You will be dealing with multiple decision-makers within an organization, requiring a multi-tiered approach to the sales process.

As a course creator, expanding your business and profit potential might be as simple as adding a couple more zeros to the price of your program. By licensing your course or training program to corporations, agencies, organizations, and other entrepreneurs, you can tap into a powerful and underutilized strategy for growth. This article will explore five common ways to package your online course or training program for sale to other companies and corporations, helping you unlock the potential of reaching hundreds or even thousands of people through a single buyer.

1. Straight License - Walk Away
   

   This approach involves licensing your online course or training program to another company for a one-time fee (with ongoing renewals). In this model, the buyer receives the rights to use your content, and you walk away with the revenue from the transaction. This method is ideal for course creators who want a simple, hands-off approach to licensing their content without the need for ongoing ...

Introduction

As a leading expert in licensing programs, I have helped countless entrepreneurs unlock new levels of growth and success for their businesses. But it wasn't always that way for me.

14 years ago, I was struggling to keep up with the demands of my business, constantly derailed by unexpected events and overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list. It wasn't until I learned to streamline my business and focus on the tasks that generated the most revenue that I started to see real progress.

One of the key strategies I discovered was the power of licensing my training programs. It allowed me to leverage the expertise of other companies who had established networks and distribution channels, reaching a much wider audience than I could have ever done on my own. Through trial and error, I learned the ins and outs of licensing programs and have since become a sought-after expert in this field. I've helped entrepreneurs across industries to unlock new revenue streams and ex...
