Not a usual a commenter tbh BUT THIS ONE VIDEO is THE MOST VALUABLE YT video I've watched on this platform! I couldn't let it in the browsing history without at least a comment!!! and a sub! why the heck not!
Thank you. Appreciate it and for subscribing.
I agree
This dude doesn’t miss. I swear.
Appreciate it
I’m not in video, I’m in audio more specifically music - I am an audio engineer that records rappers and singers and this totally changed the way I think and this is gonna be the thing that allows me to go full time and get more clients
Good luck!
It’s so (pleasantly) obnoxious that this video came out when it did because the past three weeks I have watched three online webinars for various lead generation tools and strategies. Seems like you’re the only one who isn’t selling a magic pill related to their product or service.
Thanks for the helpful tips. Making moves already and seeing results. This video helped me to refine some my current action steps.
We don’t know how to do magic
Gotta watch it again. I need this. That making content for people like you trap is so easy to fall into because it’s familiar.
Your ability to breakdown each part of the sales process and highlight the mental struggles with real world examples is amazing. 😁
1:03:35
this reminds me of a video made by a TH-camr, titled "What makes a short commercial successful?"
basically, all the ads we've watched growing up, and the ads we watch now, some of them tells a story so beautifully well that you remember them for a lifetime (once I literally tried to find a link to an ad I saw on TH-cam to share to my friends because it was that amazing. Imagine, something people have subconsciously learned to avoid, ads, I found it so interesting that i wanted to share it to someone!)
That video would be very valuable for someone who makes videos/animation (like me) and someone who is trying to think of ways to market their products. There's a high chance you can get clients from it and you can sell your products to other videographers from the same video!
Thanks for sharing
22:20 "Instead of chasing people, you give them value upfront, so then they end up chasing you. So we're shifting the dynamic." Word.
as a 3D artist getting into art toy design this channel is pure gold, I hope to be generating enough soon to be able to access the paid content
See you in the future
I’ve watched a lot of videos on digital marketing including Chris’s other videos but this is the bomb and ties it all together. I’m not in AV but in IT support services and this is totally applicable. Thanks Chris for sharing.
I’m just happy I know I’m not alone in the struggle to get clients on a consistent basis
Best thing i have watched in 2024
Wow that's cool title !! Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Commenting is not something that I do but, I feel compelled to do with you. I once heard someone say. There were 10 speakers at an event. When it was over, one of the guest went up to one of the speakers and said you were the best speaker out of all of the speakers.
Then the speaker said to the guest, No, I'm just the speaker who story connected with your story. So you felt like I was speaking to you. It just seemed that I was the best speaker. The Futur, I connect with how your teaching and how you answer the questions I didn't even know I had. You don't leave me guessing what you meant when you teach. You explain everything. You stand out! I see you moving! as you put it at the end. From my heart to yours thank you.💜💚
Thanks, Chris from The Futur for so much valuable marketing content shared.
All the best,
I am so grateful for the question at 43:00 because it is exactly the same question I have had for a long time.
Just like other videos you put up, just with video business flavor. The core concepts are applicable to any business. Thanks!
we agree. if you understand the concepts, you can apply it to any field.
This may just be the best video I've ever seen before.
24:16 Chris had to swallow this painfully because he's a Panasonic guy 😂. Great video.
Wow, this is very valuable, I have written out many action points and I'm definitely going to apply them today. Thank you Chris
Wonderful!
Thank you so much, Chris! This was an incredible experience!
On one hand, I love your dialog with the "customer", but I find in reality in my B2C (business to customer) conversations, my budget inquiries inspire the sounds of crickets, as they want me to give a price first, and their cards are kept close to the chest (as I would do in the reverse roll). I design for people's home spaces/residences. I know you do all B2B sales, where as your potential clients have a more tangible outcome, or goal, which is measurable. Sounds like I need to put my potential clients more at ease with the conversation up front and walk away if the necessary info is not given to me up front. Your comments would be welcome.
All in all, love your advice and I appreciate your dedication towards helping creatives. It is much needed. Thank you.
You’re very welcome
Great insights on embracing digital transformation for business innovation. For entrepreneurs, remember that integrating a CRM system early can help manage customer data effectively, which is crucial when scaling up. It's not just about having the tech but using it to enhance customer relationships and streamline operations.
Such an amazing video, really loved this! Will do my best to implement this :)
Watching from Minnesota
Such a great session! Thanks Chris
My pleasure!
Thank you Richy
Effing nuts content! ❤❤
MASSIVE thanks to Chris and team - this is an invaluable resource!
This is so valuable. I’m actively applying these concepts with Google Gemini Ultra. Thank you, Chris! 💙
You're so welcome!
Love these longer form videos. So much in there I can apply to my own journey.
I'm loving the topics focused on a video agencies, it's hard to find other credible sources.
Such amazing information!!! Thank you
Oh man!! Thanks for sharing this Chris! Such a powerful strategy!!!
Thank you!❤
also agree that it is the video need to view 2-3 times as a good book
gold stuff, thank you futur
Thanks for this valuable course
Thank youuuuu
Thank you so much Chris! This is pure gold!
You inspire and educate me and I hope to do the same for others one day.
Thank you
Damn, this was a great watch! Thank you for sharing your outlook and approach to sales and marketing, Chris!
Thank you for this wonderful workshop (incredible coaching and wonderful conversation), love how you incorporate knowledge from previous podcast interviews
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
This was powerful.
a ton of homework in this one!
Watching from Brazil :)
Thought provoking in a good way… thank you that🙏 cheers
cheers. Thank you
this is what I need, I've been struggle to define what I'm selling as a photographer. I know its not photos and "services" just too broad. thank you
You're so welcome!

LETS GOOOOO! Good material here!!!
Thank you
Thank you, Chris for the incredible workshop!
Our pleasure!
Damnnn this video is good! Wish I could have been there 😢
You were invited
Lets get that BIV poster in as a video too! :D
Well done
Thank you
Amazing video and love you channel - the knowledge you have and how you present it is literally like watching an artist at work, just so good.
I have a question at 1:04:00 when talking about the message to turn it into a YT video, do you mean explain the process of the sales pitch as a YT Video? So that then other potential client's would see that video and want the same thing?
If so how would you approach that and keep it specific but also general enough that potential clients from a different sector other than events can relate to it? Thanks
Oh this is going to be a 1 out of 10 in YT Studio for sure...
4/10 and climbing.
okay, this was a loaded piñata.
I'll be back to share my notes later.
Thank you Futur Team. I feel that 300k Kav breaking in.
crack it open
@@thefutur(k-krrr.....pow!!)
As a dance instructor clients comes easy now, but what I struggle now I'm not paid enough for my energy exerted time is less but pricing power is not mine right now
I remember in one video where Chris said something along the lines of,
If clients are coming through too easily, you're not charging enough
I did say that.
Thanks for the vid. I get everything you say, but how do you go from DP to agency if you don't have the funds?
I'd also like hear this answer.
I'm also making the transition
though I feel it's gonna be to… make the funds first, or charge enough for an agency
I'm having hard time understanding the part when he started talking about customer journey at 1:00:35. Does he mean the customer journey for the client 'Event host' meaning that when Chris make videos on TH-cam he's gonna show how his creative service will be used for the client to create Awareness then Interest to the client's customers? and for the problem is it the Chris's prospect problem or Chris's prospect's customer problem. This is start to feel like Fibonacci sequence
made it to the end
Any lightbulb moments?
@@thefutur shaking of neediness in a volatile market
This is great content. Is the access to day 1 gated and available in the paid Pro?
We will release to the public.
@@thefutur I'll be eagerly waiting! Was watching day 2 on TV this Saturday morning and loved the content so much, I came in search of the day 1 video!
Hey would you accelerator course be good for a someone who wants to grow their podcast?
Maybe, it's mostly focused for creators in the design space. We do portfolio reviews, lead generation and processes. What are you struggling with right now?
Brother i need to know about 'how to market myself as job seeker' with no experience but required skills and internship so what's some top books on marketing ourself in such a situation as I've heard that presenting oneself with confidence matters a lot in terms of convincing clients or recruiters..
Im no industry standard, but I'd say that a book might not help as much as reaching out to strangers who might have the job you're looking for, having a conversation/call with them and offering to help them.
If definitely want a book,
the 3 I'd recommend are
$100M Offers (to get clear on what you have to offer)
This is Marketing (to understand what exactly marketing is overally)
$100M Leads (to figure out how to use marketing)
again; IRL trying is probably better than just reading
@@iamthekaverik Thanks a Ton 💛
From one internet stranger to another, I would say that developing a portfolio should be a priority for yours. You need to be careful in consuming books and educational content, but being stuck and not actually creating anything to show off to clients and companies. Don't overconsume information, rather create a couple of products and learn along the way. Cheers!
we have a series of videos on how to interview for job w/ Petrula Vrontikis on this channel. check those out. If you're curious we also offer a course by Petrula. start with the free video first.
@@thefutur Thanks Man 😊👍
Are you guys uploading the session from the "day before"?
We already did th-cam.com/video/HJ9IW1w2bDc/w-d-xo.html
@@thefutur That’s the same day session. You can tell by what they are wearing and the board in the background is the write up from How To Attract New Customers
Where can the first video of this session be found? Chris even mentioned somewhere in the video that we should go watch the previous video but I can't seem to find it on the channel.
it's coming. hasn't dropped yet. make sure you turn on notifications.
@@thefuturWaiting for it.
When Chris is saying "From yesterday" is that video released yet?
no. it's not.
Do they have the Leads video prior too this one?
there's another video that will be dropping soon that was recorded before this one. we released them out of order.
Dope! Thank you sir ✊🏽
Chris is there anything wrong with my above question ??
no. I have to look for it.
They didn't put the sound effect ^^
am I trippin... i lost it lol
Alright F*** it. Imma try this and report back in a few months
Do it.
What about for TH-camrs from third world country like me. YT won't monetize here 😒
I can't have an answer for all problems.
you might search for other platforms that people in your country use to get information and knowledge
I know a guy with 10K subs and 200 bucks revenue in a 1st world country
That might be a lot in some places, but the margin is low
that's like if 2 people out of a hundred gave 1 dollar each.
My point is, it's better to use social as a lead magnet to some other product or service or affiliate marketing
learnt this from TH-cam Secrets by Sean Cannell from Think Media. I recommend that
YT itself won't but advertisers you can find everywhere
What is your channel about? Are you able to use affiliate links? Can you work with brands/companies? Can you sell you own services/products? TH-cam monetization is a small piece of the pie.
Chris - I'd love a question around God being a designer - why do you believe in God and is a belief in God enough?
That’s a brand of clothing that I’m involved with.
it's an amazing brand. checkout the website. They're brand story section might answer your question
Why does it always have to be about money? I see your map and diagrams to making a ton of money. I see your portfolio reviews where you tell "young guns" to do this and that to conform so corporations would love them. What don't you teach them and us just to be creative.
I think this would help you out with getting more people to watch/HEAR. Explaining what you are doing like in 7:15 we don’t know you have a pyramid and that you put needs at the bottom of the pyramid✨⭐️lmk if it helps or I’ll see in the next videos 🎉
