Outside-In Marketing

Your marketing is inside out. How embarrassing.

Most marketing teams use an inside out approach to target buyers who are actively in-market for a solution. This represents less than 1% of your total target audience, leaving a lot of future business up for grabs.

I’ll help you generate awareness with the other 99%, keep them engaged over time, and convert them into users, customers, and brand advocates.

So you can scale your organic reach, influence more prospects, and be the first one they call once they’re ready to buy.

Book 5x More Sales Calls with the Webinar Fast Track | Christ Follower | Founder of DemandShift

Is your team running webinars that don't drive sales?

If so, this might sound familiar...
❌ Promoting for weeks only to present to an empty room
❌ Watching attendees drop off as soon as you make your pitch
❌ Checking your CRM to see no booked sales calls & ZERO pipeline

I was an in-house marketer who felt the same frustration of Dead End Webinars.

Back in 2022, I was running webinars for a B2B SaaS company. After 12 months of effort, we booked less than 10 sales calls & closed just 1 deal. 😬

Since then, I’ve pulled from everything I’ve learned in years of running podcasts, webinars, virtual events, and content strategy....and I rebuilt a new approach from the ground up.

The results?

✅ I booked 5x more sales calls than the industry average.
✅ I increased our agency's monthly email list growth by over 500%.
✅ Webinars became our 2nd-highest source of new leads.

Now, I'm teaching (& executing) the Webinar Fast Track framework for other B2B brands.

Need a webinar strategy that build an audience AND converts leads?

Let's talk.

Want more webinar sign ups?

Swap the typical B2B webinar graphic for a YouTube-style thumbnail.

Seriously.

Those boring speaker bubbles on a grey background don’t do much, but...

A bold, visual thumbnail with a hook grabs attention,

That increases conversion.

We create them for every client, then reuse them for the landnig page, LinkedIn event listing, social posts, ads, and the on-demand replay.

And yes, when you repurpose for YouTube, it fits right in.

This was just 1 tip of many I shared that'll help you increase webinar sign ups during the All-In Agency Summit.

My session replay has it all. Link is in the first comment below.

This one little thing could be killing your webinar attendance rate (by as much as 20%). 

😳😳😳

Not sending an .ics file. 

What’s that?  I’m glad you asked. 

Most webinar platforms allow you to create “Add to Calendar” links for your confirmation emails. 

(Labeled Number 1 below)

But, people rarely click those. And if they don’t have your webinar on their calendar, their chances of attending live go way down. 

(Seems like I’m not the only one who does what my calendar tells me to! 😅)

On the other hand, if your webinar platform attaches an ICS file to your confirmation emails (like Sequel.io did with Number 2 below)…

Your webinar *automatically* shows up on their calendars (like a meeting invite from their boss). 

I’ve seen this little tweak equal a 20% difference in attendance rate for clients in the past. 


Have you ever tested webinar attendance with/without a calendar invite file?

(I’d love to hear if your experience has been similar)
