The 3 Elements To Effective Follow-Up
Constant contact allows you to better understand your customers’ desires and then come up with ways to help them achieve them. Regular follow-up gives clients a chance to be heard and engaged with effectively. In addition, the conversation helps clients keep you in their minds when they have a need that you can fulfill.
The follow-up process might seem daunting at first. But it is important to keep following up as it can help in building trust, creating goodwill, and booking more gigs.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share the three elements that you can use to start following up with your potential leads as well as past clients. Using this method prevents clients from going radio silent and keeps the conversation alive.

Overcoming Price Objections
We have all been in sales conversations where the clients say, “We don’t have the budget” or “It’s a bit too expensive”. These situations can lead to limiting beliefs and hinder our financial aspirations.
Budget is rarely the real challenge. There might be other reasons that are holding back the client. Digging deeper to find the real issue is important for overcoming price objections.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share actionable ideas that will help you in tackling the objections related to your price.

Testimonials - Your Promise Of What Is To ComeIf you want to convince a potential lead to book you over the competition, you need to show them exactly how you will solve their problems. Customers naturally trust each other more than they trust your marketing campaign. So testimonials add more weight to the decision they are trying to make.
The purpose of an effective testimonial is to leverage your existing clients as social proof to convince prospective clients to pick you. Good examples concisely describe key benefits of your service, while the best testimonials address common pain points that your offerings resolve.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley discuss their unique method of getting effective testimonials consistently.
Topics Discussed Include:
[00:50] Why Do We Need Testimonials? [02:10] Good Testimonials vs. Bad Testimonials [03:40] The Problem With Ineffective Testimonials [08:00] Finding The Root Cause Of Terrible Testimonials [12:00] The Referral Beast - A TSM Method [16:25] Feedback Questions You Should Be Asking [20:50] Easiest Way To Request A Testimonial [25:30] How To Deal With Price Related Objections [29:20] The ‘ONE THING’ Question [32:15] Rounding Up The Entire Process [35:25] Pre-Survey And Post Survey Follow-up

Creating Biblical Magic
Nate Staniforth was a guest on our podcast recently and he said something profound which has been lingering on Aidan’s mind. It was about creating biblical magic. If you think about it, most “magical moments” in the Bible occurred on a humongous scale. They weren’t tiny, miniature tricks. Perhaps it is time to take our magic to that level.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley talk about why it is essential to be biblical about our magic.

Testimonials Are Cool, But…
Many entertainers ask clients for testimonials after a show. This is great, but you can get a lot more from it if you approach it from a different perspective. At TSM, we use a tool called The Feedback Machine to get us valuable feedback, great testimonials, new client referrals, rebookings - all on autopilot.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share practical tips about TSM’s The Feedback Machine tool.

In this episode, Aidan and Ashley discuss the various types of lead traffic that you work with on a daily basis. They explain how to nurture potential clients and take them from cold leads to hot leads. Building high-quality relationships is the key to your long-term career.

The Fault In Our Stars: Do’s And Don’ts Of ‘Star Of The Show’ GigsA couple of weeks ago, we aired a https://player.captivate.fm/episode/ea0bfcd7-da7c-44f6-85ab-0260088cb49d (Just The Tip episode) highlighting the problems with ‘star of the show’ performances. We received a great response and feedback about it from our listeners. So we are using this opportunity to dive deeper into the topic.

In this episode, Aidan and Ashley discuss the nuances behind their unpopular opinion about these types of shows. They share stories of their ‘star of the show’ gigs and how it has resulted in a shift in their performance approach.
Topics Discussed Include:
[00:30] Why Do ‘Star Of The Show’ Performances Usually Suck [04:20] Thinking Deeply And Making These Shows Sensible [07:50] How To Handle Specific Requests From Clients [11:50] Avoiding Mainstream Tricks And Cliche Plots [14:00] Importance Of Understanding The Core Purpose Of Events [16:00] Shift In Aidan’s Approach For Wedding Performances [20:50] Shift In Ashley’s Approach For Wedding Performances [23:00] Setting Expectations With Corporate Clients [27:50] You Have To Believe In Your Shows Wholeheartedly [34:05] Weaving Magic Subtly Into Your Event’s Agenda [39:30] Performing ‘Dual Reality’ Effects In ‘Star Of The Show’ Gigs

‘Time For Money’ Sucks

In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share their thoughts on offering creative packages as per clients’ specific needs. These packages are based on the value that you deliver to the client; not on the time that you spend at their venue.

What Do You Do If You Get Caught?
If you have performed magic and mentalism enough, you have been caught at least once doing the ‘dirty work’ for the trick. If these situations are not dealt with tactfully, it can be quite awkward for both the performer and the audience.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share practical ideas to deal with such mishaps. If it is not possible to save your skin, admit defeat and praise the spectator for their keen observation. Having the spectator on your side makes them feel special and heightens engagement. If nothing works, it is wise to admit defeat and use the experience as constructive feedback.

The Best Way To Hand Out Your Business Cards
Dishing out your business cards at every opportunity might be slightly annoying for the audience. It seems transactional and won’t get the potential clients excited about booking you. Handing out unwanted business cards won’t help in converting sales.
In this episode, Aidan and Ashley share a highly efficient way of handing out your business cards. The key is to let the audience members express their interest in your contact details. And make sure to take their details too!

In this episode, Aidan and Ashley discuss how taking a small break can help in boosting productivity.
Most of us feel burned out by working too hard on our entertainment business. However, taking a break to pause, reflect and recalibrate is one of the best ways to boost success across all areas of your life and entertainment business.
How accountable are you, right now?Today, Aidan and Ashley are joined by two fantastic magicians - Malcolm Russell and Joni Pakanen. Malcolm and Joni became accountability partners and great friends through the incredible TSM community. Even though they are based in different continents, the collaboration helped them in creating highly successful virtual shows. Being self-employed, most entertainers find it difficult to stay accountable to themselves. Having an accountability partner helps tremendously in meeting personal deadlines, achieving business goals, and infusing creativity in your shows. Join Malcolm and Joni as they share their story about how this fruitful partnership, which began through https://thesuccessfulmentalist.com/mastering-online-shows/ (Mastering Online Shows), helped them in being accountable to each other.
