What I like about Chris's podcast is that he always asks questions from the perspective of an average person in the field. For example, in the podcast with Collins, the guy is talking about chateaus and things you only see on TV, discussing everything from a lofty perspective, it makes sense to have that type of conversation with Chris, but Chris is our representer in front of those guests. Chris Do'es it better.
I’m only 15 minutes into this video, but I have gained so much value. I feel so motivated to put energy into my agency again, to do the work, to gain and secure those clients. Thank you so much for this video guys, I can’t wait to make it one day 🙏🙏
@thefutur it builds trust. I also used your suggestion to ask for a review at the "hype" of what we are doing, when the client is fully happy. So, thank you!
Thank you algorithm for recommending this gem… somehow missed it when it came out. Perfect timing! LOVE the example about creating the wait list and signaling the “with or without you” energy 🔥
I listen to a lot of different people, and I just want to say that Chris is such a good listener, talker, and a real person. Your honesty and generosity speak volumes. Many thanks
You and Daniel are fantastic together. Your questions and summaries bring out the best in Daniel and make his advice even easier to understand and implement.
OMG this is so good. I found myself saying “Amen” through out this interview as if I’m in church and the pastor has shared a revelation. 😂 This is really good stuff. Thanks again thefutur and Chris Do. You guys are a God send. ❤
Daniel is the real deal... you can easily hear and feel the experience in his thoughts. He's also very good with his delivery. Great work both! New sub here.
I love this video. Issues discussed are highly strategic and life changing. Billion dollar idea strategies to finance your business through self confidence. Reverse pitching engineering.
A MASSIVE THANK YOU - Daniel for this ~2 hours that is worth a hundred times more than everything I have paid others for since I started being an entrepreneur in $ and time to move the needle; and Chris for unpacking so succinctly and in a way that makes it relevant. I have been looking for this for a long time, directionally correct but now I found it and honed in. Now my GPS is set. THIS now is my blueprint that I will create my business with to elevate the vital life force I bring into the world. I will be part of your Dent, and implementing the gearshifts now. Daniel, Chris - thank you for your unbelievable generosity. I will shake your hand in person in 2025.
Great value as always. Thank you both. I loved seeing Daniel's relaxed authentic persona here. Also really loved the 505 podcast version of this. i learned so much and need to go back and watch that a few more times until everything clicks.
Chris Do is really good cause he helps drill down information to what it takes , emotionally, mentally & practically for an entrepreneur who is used to asking 1,000$ to ask 15,000$ for the same job. As a creative, the struggle has never been the creative work … but everything else. Belief, values, positioning, … these things can make or break you and they are usually hard to change if you’re not aware of it. Chris brings that awareness … cause he has a worldwide audience of creatives that are truly genuine when talking to him, so he understands us well. That’s how I feel when he’s asking Daniel to help JON DOE.
I work at a place where people are constantly complaining about the shoestring budgets they have to work with, yet the proposals they write are just shopping lists of things they're going to do for a client, nothing about value creation, solving problems, leaving the client better off, nothing, and they wonder why clients are screwing them down on price all the time and will only pay bottom dollar. "You are what you pitch, and you're always pitching". Amen.
This is a gift!!!!!!! 2 of my top five nonnegotiable teachers, I follow!!! 😮 Thank you both for your generosity and sharing what you know to those of us that are just coming up But coming up indeed God bless you
Man this was sooo insightful. I can barely sit down for that long to watch a movie but I was captivated the whole time furiously taking notes. Please let Daniel Priestly on the show as much as possible 😅
Great content once again. I love your critical questions towards your guest and us, the Well at it Chris. Thanks for sharing the knowladge, both of you.
So wee got New-bee : Needs experience Work-bee : Standard work Super-bee : Master at craft I will look to see what bucket I get place in when I meet clients over the next 3-5 years. Thanks guys!
Wow! Nearly 2 hours of so much valuable informations! Escpecially I like how Chris summarizes main insights, digs deeper and looks at them from the point of the target audience. This was very helpful, especially becasue I'm currently re-designing my website. Thank you very much Daniel and Chris. (Just one thing: The links in the descrption to the other intervies, which Chis announces in the beginnng, are missing. 20 Oct 2024)
As a filmmaker, I need to mitigate the perception of price that a documentary will cost $100K+ or can be made by my friend on an iPhone for $300. My projects are typically between $8k and $25k and won from cold outreach to a very niche market. Whether I have a waiting list or not, new clients don't know whether they can afford me from the outset before a call, a stage we may not get to. Would a price-bracketed page on the website help or should I put this in the 'expression of interest' form (or whatever I use)?
At 1:00:00 - yes Chris, that magic can happen! One Christmas Eve, we were all about to close down for the Christmas break. The phone rang and it would have been VERY easy to not even answer the call. We did pick up the phone, and it was that magic client begging for assistance because another company had let them down badly.
A little while ago I criticized your intro as not being tight enough, the transitions were weak, the music was too loud... This was the exact result I was hoping to help direct you towards. Not taking credit for your work, I'm just taking a moment to let you know I see the improvement. :)
Hey! There's an echo, I would check the sensitivity on both mics first to not ruin sound quality if that doesn't do the trick a noise suppressor on both inputs will take care of that. Hope this helps!
Question for Daniel (that I hope he can answer): If your in a service business thats fully booked and you start a waiting list for higher end clients... what do you do with your current clients (that are paying less than these new potential high end clients)??
Always so great to get insights with Chris and Gang, thank you sensei; I am someone who freelances on 3D projects from Bhutan; I don't have access to payment gateways and hence it becomes even harder to find clients; I wonder what would be the techniques in that case? Locally people are not looking to pay a fair price for the work I do and the time. It is also usually due to currency differences and rates they are more comfortable with.
@@magneticmarketingcoach neither, I created a hyperwallet account recently but I'm not sure where the login interface is; trying to figure out other ways
another benefit with high end clients is that often times you’re only dealing with one person from the company, meanwhile the $1000 client has 7 people from marketing on the zoom call and they all have different ideas about the project.
Fake inflation, zero customers, tell them to wait till next year cause i am busy. 😂 And people actually watch this hahaha omg youtube life is really on a different planet
Get on other peoples podcasts Nail your marketing message Build an assessment to help learn about your audience struggles, pain points, desires. Create a community (I use Skool for this) Having a community instantly positions you as an authority and you also get to learn from your members first hand what they need help with.
In all these videos the things they talk about are always assuming you already have an established business. Never do they take into account new businesses who don't have many of the things they mention yet.
I understand, but I think it’s down to you and your perspective. Maybe gain some clients, build a portfolio and learn from your mistakes. I myself have a small start up (I’ve been on and off for 5 years) but I’ve collated a lot of experience. You got this 🎉
I dont think this has worked with enough smaller companies. As he said richer clients are easier and can believe the bs pitch about no time. Smaller clients are like why is this not done on Saturday evening. Everyone would love big retainers, pay all up front but you need to have that value. When you have that status he is pitching the client will bend for whatever.
Chris, your listening skills and ability to summarise Daniel were exceptional. As always, Daniel delivers the goods. Bravo to you both.
Thank you so much.
Chris is the epitome of an empath, generous & selfless being. Thanks for always coming through for us as creatives 🙌🙌🙌
What I like about Chris's podcast is that he always asks questions from the perspective of an average person in the field.

Thank you 🙏
I love Daniel Priestly. I started doing the assessments as an easy lead magnet. Its great for coaches just starting out.
Chris, you are an exceptional interviewer. As soon as a follow up question would pop up in my head, you would magically ask Daniel. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
I’m only 15 minutes into this video, but I have gained so much value. I feel so motivated to put energy into my agency again, to do the work, to gain and secure those clients. Thank you so much for this video guys, I can’t wait to make it one day 🙏🙏
I’m also in the journey of growing my agency to $10k would you want to connect?
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I started asking for customer reviews since I started watching such videos. It truly works!
Nice how has it impacted your business?
@thefutur it builds trust.
I also used your suggestion to ask for a review at the "hype" of what we are doing, when the client is fully happy.
So, thank you!
@@MichelePonteI also do this now and has helped immensely with my photo and video business, it truly works wonders
@@KandidVisionim also in video business, in what exactly it help You? U get feedback from clients so You make process of production better and better?
@@Patro1004 correct, it allows you to gain credibility and also helps show where improvement is needed. Best to do it when people are happy imo
Thank you algorithm for recommending this gem… somehow missed it when it came out. Perfect timing! LOVE the example about creating the wait list and signaling the “with or without you” energy 🔥
Man I needed this in my career. Starting over after 12yrs in my career was about to quit, but watching this video put a brakes on quitting.
I listen to a lot of different people, and I just want to say that Chris is such a good listener, talker, and a real person. Your honesty and generosity speak volumes. Many thanks
Thank you so much

Preach
Your content is simply the best. This was beyond helpful and is going to prove invaluable for our family business. So much thanks!
This is so valuable, a GOLD DIAMOND lessons that's given for FREE....
Thank you so much sir
You’re very welcome
Daniel is the real deal... you can easily hear and feel the experience in his thoughts. He's also very good with his delivery. Great work both! New sub here.
Couldn't agree more! Welcome to the Futur
Ill be honest here, his points were good, but without your summarization and clarity we wouldn't have gained nearly as much value imo.
I’m here to help.
Could really use your expertise but it's now in my budget
I love this video. Issues discussed are highly strategic and life changing. Billion dollar idea strategies to finance your business through self confidence. Reverse pitching engineering.
Testimonials are the gold you need to grow!!! Proof = Profit!!!

Those guys at 505 are good.

Love it

Yes! The companies with plenty of time to spend will micromanage vs the company that invests money to solve problems!

15 minutes into the video and I have learnt a lot already

Two of the greatest in one show… again!!?!? Keep bringing the 🔥 Chris!
Appreciate it
I’ve learned way more in this video than the last 6 months.
That's what we like to hear :-)
I know, don’t tell anyone!
Daniel Priestley is everywhere right now! Love it haha
I’m so grateful for this course! It has boosted my confidence and given me practical knowledge I can use right away.
Great content once again. I love your critical questions towards your guest and us, the Well at it Chris.

Massive value! Thank you. Learning how to apply this to me.
Loved the strategies outlined in this video!
Glad you liked it!
I’m giving this a go starting today, waitlist ready… I also have vacation coming for 20 days in November and who really wants to work in December? 😂
Best time to start that waitlist (just don't tell them you're going on vacation.)
@@thefutur smart 🤐 thanks for that!
This content really saves for me
BLESSED WITH ANOTHER VIDEO!!!
This is a gift!!!!!!!
10:41 great point on getting a high end client
I love the score app that was created to assess the moms that I coach
Thank you Daniel
You guys just made my brain 🤯🤯🤯 tons of ideas for my business! Thanks a lot!

Yes. Communicate the price beforehand.
Damn guys. This is the best yet.
Thank you for taking this interview deeper! Taking notes and will implement today ❤
You're so welcome! Thank you for your support.
I've worked on client projects worth millions. It just never dawned on me to keep track of the worth of all the projects I've ran.
At last, 1 new digital mentor who's not bald!
Haha
dropping gems sirs!!
I love this video
Thank you ❤
I'm so glad!

Magic question #later 28:33
Simply put, high-ticket clients see the value of the craft.
For the 2025 list, is it like a landing page or a form they fill out? "Fill out a form to indicate interest" something like that?
Massive thanks from John Do❤
Have to shout to the Mark Knopfler reference! My Guy!
very good insights!
A little while ago I criticized your intro as not being tight enough, the transitions were weak, the music was too loud... This was the exact result I was hoping to help direct you towards. Not taking credit for your work, I'm just taking a moment to let you know I see the improvement. :)
What can I say we're a work in progress. Thanks for the feedback.
Great way to start Friday 🔥🔥🔥
You already know!
You don’t know how much you impact my life at the moment. Hope to see you SOON in Person 🙏
Same!
This is sage wisdom! Thank you for sharing
This is so good
Hey! There's an echo, I would check the sensitivity on both mics first to not ruin sound quality if that doesn't do the trick a noise suppressor on both inputs will take care of that. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the tips!
Love this 🎉
Amazing video!!! I will definitely be sharing this with my clients🏆
Awesome! Thank you!
Best wishes 😮❤
Daniel i love you ❤
Question for Daniel (that I hope he can answer): If your in a service business thats fully booked and you start a waiting list for higher end clients... what do you do with your current clients (that are paying less than these new potential high end clients)??
Filter some out.
Never chase!
Always so great to get insights with Chris and Gang, thank you sensei; I am someone who freelances on 3D projects from Bhutan; I don't have access to payment gateways and hence it becomes even harder to find clients; I wonder what would be the techniques in that case? Locally people are not looking to pay a fair price for the work I do and the time. It is also usually due to currency differences and rates they are more comfortable with.
Can't you use stripe?
@@magneticmarketingcoach neither, I created a hyperwallet account recently but I'm not sure where the login interface is; trying to figure out other ways
the more knowledgeable the client, the more they can draw from your solution hence their returns are higher...
Lets create a online course Where the Futur does the production and Daniel comes in and goes through the strategies and details etc 🎉🎉🎉
who is going to make the course?
another benefit with high end clients is that often times you’re only dealing with one person from the company, meanwhile the $1000 client has 7 people from marketing on the zoom call and they all have different ideas about the project.
I can't find links in the description to the other videos with Daniel :(
We will update later today
@@thefutur thank you 🙏
@58:10 "The Big Mo, Momentum" does Moe know of this great Tagline 😁
He should. But he doesn’t.
Fake inflation, zero customers, tell them to wait till next year cause i am busy. 😂 And people actually watch this hahaha omg youtube life is really on a different planet
amazing
How does one turn into a key person of influence when we're first starting out?
Put in the work
Get on other peoples podcasts
Nail your marketing message
Build an assessment to help learn about your audience struggles, pain points, desires.
Create a community (I use Skool for this) Having a community instantly positions you as an authority and you also get to learn from your members first hand what they need help with.
I saw both of y’all‘s interview on 505😂☺️
Now you have both of us here! The trifecta
How do i convince a client to give me a chance if I'm just starting out
Is it necessary to offer my services free?
Bend reality 😮
Is there an online solution for a waiting list that automatically displays the number of people who are on the list already?
The number of ads r insane in this vid
Sawwwy
Dude wtf I felt like I should’ve paid 10K for this information
In all these videos the things they talk about are always assuming you already have an established business. Never do they take into account new businesses who don't have many of the things they mention yet.
Get some experience first?
I understand, but I think it’s down to you and your perspective. Maybe gain some clients, build a portfolio and learn from your mistakes. I myself have a small start up (I’ve been on and off for 5 years) but I’ve collated a lot of experience. You got this 🎉
You've heard of between 2 ferns,
Now you get between 2 green chairs.
I dont think this has worked with enough smaller companies. As he said richer clients are easier and can believe the bs pitch about no time. Smaller clients are like why is this not done on Saturday evening. Everyone would love big retainers, pay all up front but you need to have that value. When you have that status he is pitching the client will bend for whatever.
Fast food systems help people thrive.
SYSTEMS sell to the masses.
SPECIALIZING attracts money.
hmm... the closer your work is to the money machine, the more logical it is to be paid a high- end price
