Ep 20How to Sell Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
Do you wish you could just crawl into a hole and still make money? If your answer is yes, this episode is for you. Far too often, people associate making money as an active occurrence. That if you go off-grid, you’re not making money. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how you can generate wealth in the background so that you can step into life outside of your business. “No wonder why we associate going off-grid with not making money. Because we convince ourselves of all the reasons why we can't make money before we even try.” - Kirsten Roldan Here’s a closer look at the episode:Why we shouldn’t shame ourselves when we don’t hustleOther ways to sell especially when we go off-gridAre you dealing with the fear of judgment?Deciding how you would sell if it didn’t matter how you did it Resources:1:1 Private Coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002fa Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Roldan & Co Marketing: https://www.instagram.com/roldan.comarketing/

Ep 19Finding High-Quality Solutions to Low-Level Questions
“What time are the live calls?”“How many people will be in the program?”“Is there lifetime access?” These are all examples of low-level questions. To be clear, low-level questions aren’t stupid questions (there are no stupid questions). But low-level questions are questions that do not help you make high-quality decisions. In today’s episode, I’m talking about the problem of low-level questions and how to address them. I walk you through examples of identifying the root cause of a low-level question and how addressing the root will help you formulate a powerful response. So let’s cut right to the chase as we tackle how you can turn low-level questions into high-quality opportunities. “Take time to really think about what they're asking and why. Then feel free to create content around it that helps answer any questions from the lurkers in your audience.” - Kirsten Roldan Here’s a closer look at the episode:Why it’s important to cut to the chaseWhat are low-level or lazy questions?Understanding where low-level questions stem fromHow to address low-level questions with high-quality responses Resources:1:1 Private Coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002fa Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Do You Actually Want to Run a Mastermind? https://www.instagram.com/tv/CN3WP0bFXsS/ Roldan & Co Marketing: https://www.instagram.com/roldan.comarketing/ Do You Need CEO Coaching? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAtm3ZBIBtA

Ep 18Finesse Your Funnel: The cost of a Patchwork Funnel and the Power of Funnel Strategy
Like it or not, your funnel likely has force and friction. The friction in your funnel is what makes it hard to generate and convert leads. Whereas the force in your funnel makes the wheel spin faster, which makes the process so much easier. However, if you put too much force at the top of your funnel, it’ll lose energy on the way down. So where do you go from here? How do you get a welcome email to sell when your funnel loses steam from your leads along the way? When people use Facebook ads to generate leads, those leads will eventually lose energy if the middle of the funnel is bad. That is what we call a patchwork funnel. In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into how much a patchwork funnel costs and how you can avoid losing a lot of marketing spend. And as common as patchwork funnels are these days, I’m walking you through what it truly takes to have a good funnel strategy that is solid throughout the beginning, middle, and end. Tune in, take notes, and reevaluate what you currently know about funnels, because this episode will change the way you approach your funnels and have you thinking like a sales funnel strategist. “When you are patchworking your funnel, you are literally breaking. You're breaking the line between capture and conversion.” “What ends up happening is the majority of people are teaching patchwork funnels. They're teaching patchwork funnels because they're only teaching the top. They're not teaching the middle and end.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:How much a patchwork funnel will cost youUnderstanding the force and friction in your funnelWhy most people teach patchwork funnelsHow a powerful funnel strategy focuses on beginning, middle, and end Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 17Finesse Your Funnel: Finding the Balance Between Nurture and Sales
It’s important to nurture your list, but there’s a fine line between being your subscribers’ mama and being what you really are - a marketer. In today’s episode, I explore the balance between creating nurturing and educational content versus promotional content. I ask you to evaluate the moments when you promote your products, and whether you’re training your audience to buy from you. Truth be told, if you’re only selling and promoting during a launch, you’re not going to get the passive sales you desire. And at the end of the day, your email list should be a list that’s filled with potential customers. Tune in to this episode as I introduce you to my free framework for writing emails that sell, so that you can build a strong email list that can carry your launch and not the other way around. “Let them unsubscribe. Because again, you want hot leads, you want people that want to buy from you.” “A sustainable business is about capturing and converting, capturing and converting. That is the mark of a sustainable business, one that has a system of consistent lead capture and consistent lead conversion.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:Why you’re not your subscribers’ mamaPriming your email list so that they’re ready to buyThe problem with selling via email only during a launchThe true mark of a sustainable businessWhy my most successful clients are the ones who send sales emails consistently Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 16Finesse Your Funnel: How to Leverage Your Existing Audience
In full transparency, I have a small email list of under 400 subscribers. What’s more, my Instagram following is under 2000 followers. So how have I built a multiple six-figure business primarily using email marketing as my strategy? By leveraging my existing audience. In this episode, I get real about your strategy by refocusing your attention away from generating new leads and into converting your existing leads instead. I also share why your thought leadership will be the most important lead generation asset you have. Tune in and take notes as I discuss the importance of designing your thought leadership, and nurturing and preparing your email list prior to your launch so you can pull your hottest leads from your existing list into your high converting funnel. “As long as they get pulled into the funnel that you want them to get pulled into that you created specifically for your launch. That's what matters.” “Too many times people get caught up when it comes to building their launch strategy. They want to build their email list before they launch. What's the real goal of that? Is it because you don't trust your conversion rates? You want to hit 20 people but you only have 50 and you don't trust that you can convert at that percentage? Get curious about that.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:Why focusing on getting more leads is the wrong approachWhat it means to leverage your existing resourcesCapturing your hottest leads and pulling them into your high converting funnelHaving your thought leadership serve as your lead generation Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 15Finesse Your Funnel: How To Work Less & Make More Money Through Email Marketing
Don’t get me wrong, Instagram Reels and Stories can make you money, but if you want a real return on your time and energy, then email marketing is where it’s at, hands down. Email marketing is literally the best thing you could be doing right now. But so many people aren’t taking advantage of their email because they think “it’s a long game.” But is it? In today’s episode, I’m busting the myth of why email marketing isn’t a long game at all and why it’s actually the best return on your energy. I’ll also tell you how - if you take the time to implement it correctly - your emails can literally pay off for years down the line. “You have to sell. You have to send a sales email and see how it converts. And you have to optimize it, and you have to test your subject line.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:Why email marketing is the best thing you can do right nowHow you can make more money while doing less workWhy consistency is keyThe number one marketing tool you need to use Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 14Finesse Your Funnel: The Need for Low Lift and High Return Marketing Methods
I hate to say it, but one thing that bro marketing has really hit the nail on the head on is the concept of doing the least amount of work possible and getting the most out of it. To be honest, this is a great idea that all businesses should strive for. So how do we get the highest returns from our lowest lifts through our marketing methods that are right for our industry and female clientele that doesn’t smell like bro marketing? By creating an automated, low lift launch. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how you set up your email marketing so that it handles the entire journey from pre-launch all the way to the end of your launch. This means you can show up to one live event, let email marketing handle the rest, and create any extra content only if you choose to. Tune in and learn how to set up a foolproof, automated, and low lift launch system that continuously nurtures, connects, and converts your audience. “Your emails and your live event and anything that you do surrounding that should be what is nurturing, connecting, and converting people.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:The concept of low lift and high return marketing methodsHow to adopt this method to your industry while avoiding coming off as a bro marketerWhy you want to show up to one live event and let email marketing handle the restCreating social media content that isn’t necessary but supplements your funnelWhy relying on an automated low lift launch allows room for life to happen Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 13Finesse Your Funnel: Why You Need To Stop Neglecting Email Marketing
Building an email list doesn’t necessarily equal profit. You might be creating amazing lead magnets and doing all the freebie workshops to get hot leads to sign up, but if you aren’t nurturing and selling to your list, then you’re missing out on the most profitable marketing strategy out there: email marketing. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why so many entrepreneurs and business owners neglect their email marketing, how to get past the sales block surrounding email, and why one-off emails for your newest launch aren’t enough to get you the results you want.

Ep 11Finesse Your Funnel: The Most Profitable Way To Market Your Business
Everybody loves talking about $5k and $10k months, which is all good and dandy. But I think it’s beyond time to talk about how writing a quick, 5-minute email can easily bring in over $100 while you sleep. This literally just happened to me, and it can 100% happen for you, too. My email list is my hottest lead pool, and if your email list isn’t producing similar results to mine, then we need to talk about your email marketing funnel. In today’s episode, I’m talking about the power of email marketing and why your list is where conversions and money-making magic happens. Live streams and social content are still important, don’t get me wrong, but email marketing is one of the most profitable ways to market and grow your business. So tune in to listen to the nitty-gritty details of what goes into making money (and connections) through email marketing. “When it comes to building a profitable funnel, make sure that you're setting up your entire journey to support the coldest audience member that you have and lead them to the next step.” Here’s a closer look at the episode:The most profitable way to market yourselfWhy cold leads are just waiting for the right offerHow to make sales without a heavy launch Why you need a list of qualified leadsThe real win behind email marketing Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 10Finesse Your Funnel: My Thought Leadership Funnel and Battle-Tested Frameworks
I am so eager and excited to share the new funnel strategy that I’ve solidified over years. My thought leadership funnel hits every corner of the market that is not being hit right now. I want you to feel extremely confident and empowered with your offer. Although I know it takes time, my thought leadership funnel gives you the permission to stop doing the most and start focusing on exactly what works. I talked about the tangible funnel trifecta being copy, tech, and design in the previous episode. I also shared that the glue that anchors it together is thought leadership. In today’s episode, I share a case study of my Thought Leadership Funnel and other battle-tested frameworks that have worked for a client of mine, how she has developed her lifetime launch angle for everything she decides to launch from here on out, and how you can do the same. “Your thought leadership literally centers everything you do. And I'm not talking about just having a cool niche offer, I'm talking about the core concept that you might not have even fully realized yet that is the primary driver for your most successful client results.” - Kirsten Roldan Here’s a closer look at the episode:How thought leadership anchors the 3 components of the tangible funnel trifectaGetting clear on your thought leadership Case study: How my client created her lifetime launch angleHow you can get clear on your thought leadership and create your lifetime launch angle Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 9Finesse Your Funnel: The One Concept That Drives Automated Sales
Everybody wants to put out a masterclass that runs on autopilot that people sign up for. Ultimately, they want them to buy their offer. It’s a successful strategy but far too often, people don’t execute it in an automated way. In today’s episode, I’m discussing the one concept that drives automated sales. This one concept I share in this episode will angle you like an arrow that is directly aligned with your target. It could even save you thousands of dollars that you might spend on a funnel that just doesn’t work. If you want some insight on hitting your primary, secondary, and tertiary under-served markets without ever missing the mark, this episode is a must. Tune in and definitely take notes. This might just be my best episode yet. “What are my primary, my secondary, my tertiary competitors all teaching? That is what I need to know.

Admittedly, it’s also a mistake I’ve made in the past and one that I won’t forget. Don’t let the thought of email marketing scare you out of an automated funnel.

Ep 6Navigating the Process of Pivoting Your Business
I recently asked my Instagram audience 3 important questions: Do you believe your business is going through a rebirth? Do you feel like there's a gap in your support between the know and the do? Are you prolonging a pivot or delaying a project you were once excited about? The overwhelming response was a resounding “yes”. In today’s episode, I’m diving deeper into the process of pivoting your business as I tackle all the nuances that come along with it. I address the common fears that surround pivoting and what to do when the roadblocks and fears start to creep in. I also discuss why you need to check in on your reasons for pivoting, if you should announce and explain your pivot, and how to keep selling as you’re deep in the process of pivoting. “Pivot announcements pale in comparison to just diving into solving your prospect’s problems.” - Kirsten Roldan Here’s a closer look at the episode:Common fears attached to pivotingHow to navigate mindset blocks in the processEvaluating the reason for your pivotDo you need to explain your pivot?Keeping sales up as you’re pivoting Resources:Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Do You Actually Want to Run a Mastermind? https://www.instagram.com/tv/CN3WP0bFXsS/ Roldan & Co Marketing: https://www.instagram.com/roldan.comarketing/ Do You Need CEO Coaching? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAtm3ZBIBtA 1:1 Coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002fa Join my email list and learn how to develop your internal team, systems and self: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Ep 5How to Fix a Broken Business Model
Do you feel like your current business model is suffocating? If so, this episode is for you. Sometimes entrepreneurs go into a business model unintentionally and it isn’t what we’re looking for. Today’s episode will get you back on track as I discuss how you can fix a broken business model. I share the important questions you need to ask yourself, such as what is the service or product? What do the marketing operations and sales look like for the sale of your offer? What are the unique focal points? And how do they differ across different offers? If you're realizing that maybe your business model isn't feeling aligned and you really want to pivot profitably, the questions and examples I pose in this episode will help you get one step closer to clarity. “Really define what you actually want, what business model actually fits in with your personality, with your goals, with your abilities, and with the way you know that you can support and deliver results for your clients because that's the ultimate goal.” - Kirsten Roldan Here’s a closer look at the episode:Questions to get yourself realignedExample of how a group program vs. course business has different focus pointsShifting your focus points for each business modelHow I defined what I personally wanted in each business model Resources:Kirsten’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Do You Actually Want to Run a Mastermind? https://www.instagram.com/tv/CN3WP0bFXsS/ Roldan & Co Marketing: https://www.instagram.com/roldan.comarketing/ Do You Need CEO Coaching? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAtm3ZBIBtA
