Last week I was at the 2019 “Traffic & Conversion” Marketing Conference in San Diego and I asked if you wanted me to take the time to share some of my key takeaways with you…
…OMG! The response was off the charts! I appreciate everyone who replied.
First, let me give a little context. This year was the 10th “Traffic & Conversion Summit” – one of the top marketing conferences in the US, and it focuses on digital (aka:online) marketing. It’s a HUGE event with 6,000+ attendees and over 100 sessions…
…So my takeaways are based on the sessions I attended with a specific focus on how they can help you as a coach in your business.
Big Picture Takeaway #1 From The 2019 “Traffic & Conversion” Marketing Conference
“It’s The End Of Marketing As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” – This was the title of the opening keynote delivered by Ryan Deiss of Digital Marketer and it was about the state of online marketing today.
He gave an overview of how online marketing has progressed through these 5 phases…
Discovery/Invention
Proliferation
Standardization
Consolidation
Disruption
Can you guess where we are right now?
That’s right, we’re in the disruption phase.
And in this phase the way to stand out is by doing the opposite… Think George Castanza on Seinfeld when he experiments with doing the complete opposite of what he would normally do and ends up dating a beautiful woman and getting a job with the New York Yankees.
Instead of thinking about having potential customers go through a single funnel, we need to take them on a journey.
Instead of automation being the key to success, connection and conversations are what’s working today.
And if you want to matter, start a movement.

“Thanks to you, your coaching and your program my business is doing great. I’m very specific and I’m very happy to have a unique niche: Mental Golf Coaching. My clients are junior golf talents and I coach around golf, school, family, friends and love, so that the junior talent can reach their goals much easier. Everything is in flow, thanks to you and Coach & Grow RICH!”
“My coaching business before the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system wasn’t really working, especially with my approach to services. I didn’t have a clear strategy on marketing, packaging and pricing my services. The materials helped me to narrow my business focus and my target market. I feel more confident talking about my business and working with others now. The Packaging and Pricing module and the Client Consultation components really helped a great deal. It also gave me the confidence to charge more for individual coaching and to create some lower-priced/ shorter-term coaching products.
“I took Michelle’s training somewhat desperate to generate five clients quickly for my upcoming coaching certification program. I was not only impressed with how many marketing tools I received, but also how many practical ways and examples to apply them. I chose to start with “Grassroots Marketing” and to my elation, I was able to generate 11 clients (better than a 50% return) by just applying a couple of the techniques she shared. I found Michelle to be an extraordinary teacher, who is wholeheartedly committed to helping her students create financial success and freedom.”
