For the love of GOD stop trying to get NEW leads

I paid Hormozi $6k for his lead nurture playbook. Turns out the money you're missing isn't in your offer, it's in the gap between someone booking a call and someone actually showing up.In this episode I break down the 4 pillars from Hormozi's playbook that decide your show-up rate: availability, speed, personalisation and volume. Including the 391% stat on response times that most businesses are getting horribly wrong. If you're getting bookings but not enough people turning up, this one's for you.--------Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonline--------IN THIS EPISODE:• Why more booking availability directly increases your show-up rate• The 60 second rule and the 391% conversion stat behind it• A personalisation trick that nearly eliminated no-shows for one Hormozi client• The full follow-up sequence before a lead is actually cold--------🧭 Work with me: https://www.chris-james.co/c2c?ref=hrqcc0🔥 Get my free https://www.chris-james.co/training-li?ref=e1cce3

Nobody trusts you online anymore, and talk's the reason why. Anyone can sound like an expert now, so words alone don't win clients.In this episode Chris breaks down why client proof is the most valuable currency you're not using, and gives you the exact system for capturing it, curating it and getting it in front of the right people.

LinkedIn deleted five old ranking systems + replaced them with one AI model that decides your reach off your headline alone. Not your followers. Not your network. Your headline.In this one I break down what LinkedIn's own engineering team + comms team have actually said about the new algorithm, then I roast my own profile live using a framework I call DROP (Differentiation, Root, Outcome, Proof) so you can see exactly where profiles leak clients and where mine does too. If you're a coach, consultant or service provider posting consistently and still not converting, this is probably why.Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonlineIN THIS EPISODE:• Why LinkedIn's new AI model reads your headline before it reads your followers• What "hard negatives" are and how ignored posts train the algorithm against you• Why engagement pods and comment bots are about to stop working• The DROP framework I use to audit every profile🧭 Work with me: http://www.chris-james.co/c2c🔥 Get your free LinkedIn profile audit: https://www.chris-james.co/profile-optimiser?ref=kewv9r

I paid £30k to sit in a room with 8-figure coaches + consultants. Turns out most of what I "learned" was stuff I already knew and had just stopped doing.In this episode I break down the six biggest takeaways, from why nobody wants to learn anymore (and what to give them instead), to why your CRM beats every AI tool you own, to the mistake most people make when a funnel stops converting.

Somewhere between 50 and 74% of the content on your feed was written by a robot. Which means the fastest way to stand out in 2027 is to be visibly, obviously human.In this episode I break down ORBIT CONTENT: the system I use to create a week (sometimes a month) of content from one input. One pre-validated topic, one take, one file uploaded to three platforms with no editor involved. Then the transcript from that video becomes every other asset you need, and each one points back to the long form piece so people actually spend time with you. It's for coaches, consultants + service providers who are sick of being told to slice one video into 30 pieces and pray.--------Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonline--------IN THIS EPISODE:- The 13 stages of friction sat between you + a published video- Why one take beats a scripted, edited, over-polished version- How one file covers LinkedIn, YouTube + your podcast on the same day- The 4 Ps that every strong piece of content contains- The three places to find topics your market has already validated--------🧭 Work with me: https://www.chris-james.co/c2c🔥 Join my next workshop: https://www.chris-james.co/workshop

Emma Wainer had the matches out. She was ready to burn her consulting business to the ground.Instead she reconnected with the people she'd already worked with + pulled nearly £30k into the business in eight weeks. In this episode she + Chris break down how she escaped the feast-or-famine cycle, why a big comprehensive content programme made zero difference to her revenue, + what actually shifted once mindset, systems + offer clarity came together in one place.

I pulled the data on the last million pounds our clients made. 85% of it had nothing to do with cold DMs.This episode is the Priority Pipeline: the system I've used to go from zero clients to over 400, working roughly an hour a day. I break down why the funnel should be flipped upside down, why only about 3% of your audience is ready to buy at any given time, and how to grade every lead so your marketing hour only ever gets spent on the people closest to giving you money. Then I get into the metric almost nobody tracks, the one that decides whether your week ends with calls in the calendar or nothing at all. If you're a coach, consultant or service provider who keeps being told to go and find more strangers, this'll change what you do at 8:30 tomorrow morning.--------Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonline--------IN THIS EPISODE:- Why 97% of your followers don't care about buying from you today- The average week method + the daily marketing block that runs on constraints- The 4 and 5 star lead grading system- The 46% stat that means you're probably not even doing the bare minimum--------🧭 Work with me: http://www.chris-james.co/c2c🔥 Join a free workshop: https://www.chris-james.co/workshop

Everyone's telling you to go + build a personal brand. Chris reckons that's the worst thing you can do, because you've already got one.In this episode he breaks down Personal Brand DNA: the five-strand framework he takes every C2C client through to turn their existing life, opinions + flaws into content that makes them likable + buyable. It's built like a movie, story, character, associations, bad guys + reviews, + it's the exact system that took Chris from "sales guy Chris," too scared to show his face, to £2m+ on LinkedIn.

Hormozi sold 3 million books in 72 hours. The real money was in the 12 playbooks he upsold for six grand a pop.This episode breaks down one of them... the hooks playbook. I pulled 7 repeatable formulas out of Hormozi's 121 best-performing hooks across ads, YouTube + email. If you're a coach, consultant or service provider whose content keeps getting scrolled past, this is the fix... because the hook decides whether anyone sticks around for the rest of it.--------Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonline--------IN THIS EPISODE:- Why nearly half of Hormozi's best hooks are just plain statements- The cocktail party effect + how a label hook makes your person spin round- The conditional hook that filters out the wrong viewer + locks in the right one- The one line from the playbook that flips how you make content forever--------🧭 Work with me: http://www.chris-james.co/c2c🔥 Get my free LinkedIn Training: https://www.chris-james.co/content-training

Diana's competitors sell data, surveys + apps. She sells resolution. The difference is massive - she just wasn't communicating it clearly enough.- - - - - - - - - Diana helps organisations build conflict resilience infrastructure, increasing psychological safety + performance by resolving conflict at an early stage rather than just measuring it. We went live + worked through exactly how to articulate that gap - the difference between information + implementation - and then got into Personal Brand DNA, the five-strand framework that makes you impossible to compare to any competitor regardless of price or offer. Diana called it on the call herself - her own story of never speaking up in toxic workplaces + deciding 10 years ago that safe work environments were possible is one of the most compelling positioning assets she's got.
