Is Black Friday Even Worth It Anymore?

Black Friday used to feel like an automatic "yes," but this year… it's different. In this episode, I break down why Black Friday has lost some of its impact, what I'm seeing across the online business world, and why vague, once-a-year promos aren't landing the way they used to. I talk about how buyer behaviour has shifted, why stronger messaging matters more than ever, and how to use this time of year to prep for a clearer, more intentional launch in December or January. If you've been debating a Black Friday promo, this will help you decide what's actually worth your energy — and what isn't. If you want more strategic support heading into the new year, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast — I've got something special coming for membership owners in January. Or you can head over to https://scalingdeep.com/map/ to get the Membership Maker Template and dial in your membership value proposition! 

If your first instinct after a slow launch is to scrap everything and start fresh — new challenge, new webinar, new funnel — this episode is for you. Lisa shares why constantly reinventing your sales process keeps you stuck, and how optimizing what you already have leads to more consistent, reliable results. You'll learn what to measure, what to tweak, and how small improvements create big gains over time. 🎧 Plus, hear how she simplified her own live workshop funnel and turned it into a repeatable system that actually works. Listen now to discover how to sell smarter — not start over.

Ever feel like people love your content, engage with your emails, but never actually buy? You're probably missing a bridge asset — the crucial middle step that turns curiosity into commitment. In this episode, Lisa breaks down what a bridge asset is, why most memberships don't have one, and how it helps potential members experience your value before they ever hit your sales page. You'll learn how to create trust, connection, and belief — the three things every membership needs to convert consistently. 🎧 Tune in to discover how to build a bridge that finally gets your audience saying, "I'm in."
