Crowded market? No sweat.


I once taught dance in a city full of dance studios—but still managed to fill my classes from day one. 💃🏽

The only marketing I did was on IG when I had around 800 followers.
Other local dance teachers were locally and IG famous.

The only training I had was dancing in my bedroom. 🤭
Other dance teachers were WAY more skilled and highly trained.

I pulled that off cuz I offered something different: dance classes for ordinary people.

My classes were for the ones who had no ambitions to ever perform. The ones who were too shy to go to the popular dance classes. The ones who felt out of place in most studios.

I offered an experience for the ordinary person to move n' groove without feeling judged.

That's why it was so easy to sell.

We gotta be able to pinpoint how our offerings are unique from the rest. And then embody and communicate that in our marketing.

Otherwise, we risk becoming a commodity...which ain't great for business.

I don’t teach dance at the moment. These days I’m a marketing educator and strategist. There are a bajillion of those out there.
But my unique flavour is found in my humanity-first approach to marketing (instead of the typical toxic, manipulative, coercive approach we all know and hate).

What's your unique flavour? Why would your prospects choose you over all the other options?

If you don’t know the answer to that, I can help you figure it out in a 1:1 consultation.
Apply here and I’ll let you know if it’s a fit (if not, I’ll try to recommend a more suitable solution).
It costs $799 but if you qualify for the Where’s My Keychain discount, you save $150 (only till May 11th).


With care,
Natalia

P.S. Peep the dance video I pulled from the archives and posted here.

Can we stop pretending like our frameworks are the final word?We need to do a better job of prioritizing the person over the process.We need to leave room for the possibility that our method miiiight not work for certain brains, cultures, personalities, circumstances.That truth doesn't necessarily mean anything about your method, btw.It's just that you can't possibly have one method that works for everyone and every situation. Yet so many of us pretend otherwise. Hey, I used to do that, too....

The problem with experts is they think they're supposed to know everything. Not because they necessarily have huge egos.I think it's more so because of the programming. Somewhere along the way, we decided that “expert” meant: -always certain -always confident -always having the answer Because if you, the expert, don't know...Won’t people lose trust in you?I believe the opposite is true, actually. I'm writing this email after an initial chiro appointment. Chiro Doc: "Most people with frozen...

“What does getting good at sales actually look like?” 🤔Tarzan Kay recently hosted a Q&A panel as part of the Girl Boss Apology Tour.And that was one of the (brilliant) questions that was submitted by an attendee. The question reminded me of two truths:1) I've always been good at sales—including when I followed traditional sales advice.2) I despise traditional sales advice.Back when I sold garbage removal at a premium price, I was one of the top performing sales peeps on my team.Their sales...
