JP Goldmans Golden Nuggets: Recent Episodes
Jp Goldman
The thing about getting more clients and what’s really the most important isn't really about the webinar, the funnel, the copy and all the rest of the stuff.
But More importantly is your ability to actually sell them when you talk to them.
Here’s some tips on how to do it…
Rule no 1 : Only talk to people who already like it, already know what you do and already want it.
Rule no 2 : When you start talking to them. Make the entire conversations about them. I recommend you start with a simple question.
Which is : “Hey, what are you hoping to accomplish by working together?”
They tell you and if it sounds like you really are able to help them move on to the next stage.
“Ok cool, how do you get the results you're getting now?” When they are telling you that they are basically telling you all the stuff they do, which problems they have and so you are able to detect where or how you can actually help them and so you can move on to the third phase which is.
“You know based on what you told me I’m a hundred percent certain that I can help you and I loved to have you as a client. What questions do you have for me?”
At that stage they're gonna either say “I don’t wanna be your client. Which is ok, or they're going to start asking buying questions like “how much is it”, How does it work, .. Things like that.
No, here's the big trick. You are going to answer these questions with as much transparency and honesty as possible. Some people will become clients some won’t.
But the process itself is really really simple and helpful.
And if you want to attract more and better clients in a way that is always simple and helpful and a genuine benefit for everybody involved. Go to www.Goldmancall.com where you can schedule a free 35 minutes focus finder call with me personally. We will brainstorm some ideas for you and if you like what you hear, maybe we can talk about working together.
Regardless, I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful and looking forward to meeting you soon.
Welcome to JP Goldman's Golden podcast, the podcast on how to strategize, growing and scaling your online business.
I'm Jp Goldman and I help Business Owners, Consultants and Professional service providers on getting more money, more time and, last but not least, more fun. In this podcast I just want to inform you about the reason of existance of this podcast and what it can mean for you.
Now if you can’t wait and you really need direct help you can go to GoldmanCall.com and schedule a free 35 minutes focus finder zoom call with me personally where I will be happy to give you some great takeaways you can use immediately to improve results.
No worries, There’s no catch and I promise I’m going to help you even before you’re even considering working with me. If you like my training, you’ll like working with me, if not, not hard feelings.
So this is GoldmanCall.com
First of all
Goldman" is an alias. To solve the hassle my real name "JP Lefebvre" brings about internationally. It helps my Chinese- and American clients and friends in pronouncing and understanding my name. "Lefebvre" just didn't cut it :-)
The name "Lefebvre" means "Goldsmith" so Goldman it has become.
I'm guessing that's not the kind of stuff you're here for. You're probably wondering, is This Guy Worth My Time And Attention?
For many readers, my answer is NO.
Sure, I can offer you actionable strategies and tactics you can use in your business right now for free through this podcast. But more on that in a moment.
Because first...
Three things you can not expect from me
1. I can not help you get rich quickly
If you have been listening to get-rich-quick schemes, stop right now. I am here to save you a lot of time, energy and money. Of course, you want to get rich quickly. Who doesn't? I get it. That’s what attracted me to the Internet years ago. I thought it would be easy money and I’d have thousands coming in every day … on autopilot.
Well, it isn’t easy money. I do have consistent revenue coming in…often on autopilot …but it took lots of work, frustration, and perseverance to get there.
… And it still takes work to keep it all running.
So if you’re not prepared to commit to the necessary work, I’m not your guy and the information provided in this podcast will not help you.
2. IF you don’t want to work with solid principles. You’re not going to enjoy my stuff
When you start going down the “Internet Marketing” alley you’ll see all kinds of ads and articles from agencies about free traffic, how to get rich by having other people promote your product, and all kinds of stuff.
As a result, entrepreneurs are feeling dazed and confused. On top, it gives agencies an excuse to charge you big. Does some of it work? Probably. In the short term.
But if you rely on that, you don’t have a business. You have an income stream that’s supported by an unsustainable gimmick. And that is a waste of time. You need to build your business on solid long term principles, who deliver results.
Nothing I teach is fluff or theory.
3. If you’re looking for “the easy way” I’m not your guy
By now you know I'm not a typical consultant. The reason why, is that I want you to be successful. And I only can do that with entrepreneurs who are serious.
Why?
Because when I hear someone say, “What’s the easiest way”, what I’m really hearing is, “I’m not fully invested in the long term success of my own business …and am therefore not fully invested in the long term success of my customers.”
Look,
selling things on the Internet is hard work. Yes, when it’s all up and running, it can be just like you imagined: Passive revenue and money while you sleep. But that takes work to create, and it takes work to maintain.
Are you still here?... GOOD
Now, if you’re still reading here, that‘s a good thing because that proves to me you’re serious about your business.
So, here’s what you CAN Expect from me.
The information you will get in My Golden podcast will help you get out of overwhelm, attract more leads and turn them into customers through actionable strategies and tactics, you can use in your marketing right now. I’ll do this by learning you about paid advertising, marketing funnels, automation and copywriting stuff and overall management strategies. So your business receives a return on investment over time and you’ll become successful.
And success for me means, not only the money, but also having the time to spend with your loved ones and having fun while building your business.
Now I expect that you have some questions, like...
What are your credentials?
For over 25 years my passion has been creating businesses and a great deal thanks to going digital. Some failed, some I sold, including my showpiece: "the EAMC" (European Arbitration and Mediation Council), an international cooperation between the European Union and Hong Kong.
But I never gave up the search for my holy grail: "The ideal business that brought me money, time and fun." Long story short (this is for another podcast): I found it. I showed the method to some of my customers and because everyone asked me, I'm now teaching it to others.
I'm one of the few Sandorians. The most sought after digital marketing experts in the world.
I have helped entrepreneurs all over the world in strategizing, growing and scaling their online business. I have a Master in Finances, Executive Master in Business Administration, I am an Alumnus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and lots of other stuff.
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
All the knowledge in the world doesn't mean a thing if you don't apply it. And that’s what this podcast series is all about. I hope you really gonna get value for your specific business. I can’t wait to read your comments.
If you can’t wait to read all the episodes, like I already mentioned, I give you the opportunity to get with me in a 35 minutes Free Focus Finder Zoom Call, on GoldmanCall.com
One day I’ve got his comment: If you're so smart, why don't you use all your knowledge to sell something that has nothing to do with business or marketing?
I thought it was a fair question. It's kind of saying" Hey, Prove you're not full of sh*t by doing this stuff in real life.
So, I decided to accept the challenge.
In my home country Belgium I've set up a real brick and mortar social business where I help elderly- and disabled people in adapting their homes. The program is called Stay Active (www.blijfactief.be). Because I want to help people to stay as active as possible, despite their age or disability. And that starts in their own home.
I did it without using my name, my list, my connections and in ten years time we are the leader in adaptive living in Belgium and last year we were recognised by the King of Belgium, King Filip of being one of the best social businesses of Belgium.
This is my way of proving...
I'm not only doing the talking but also do the walking.
But more important for you,
I did this to prove that the "playing field" is level for all of us, and prove that the fundamentals work... and that you don't have to be fancy...obnoxious...or anything.
Your mantra seems to be "More Money, More Time and More Fun" what do you mean by that?
I'm just a guy who never gave up on my quest to find the best life quality for me and my family.
At first glance, it seems to be all about the money, and sometimes it is, because without it you're in trouble. But I always remember people not to forget "the time and the fun" because this makes or breaks your life-quality.
If you only look at the money, it could be, as time goes by, you'll end up feeling miserable. Therefore, it's important to start with strategizing, because that will ultimately result in having fun in your business. The growth of your company will bring the money in and scaling, will make sure you'll have time to enjoy by taking you out of the equation.
Strategize means fun, Growth brings money in and Scaling brings you more time and that's the way to go in your business.
How do I know your stuff is any good?
You don't. But the best way for you to decide if you want to go further with me is to listen to some of my podcast and read my podcasts or follow me on social media. If the things you here and read are meaningful to you, you can join me for a 35 Free Focus Finder Zoom Call, on Goldmancall.com
Like I said earlier I'm going to give you some great takeaways you can use immediately to improve your results. There's no catch and I still promise… I'm going to help you before you're even consider working with me. If you like my training, you'll like working with me. If not, no hard feelings.
That brings us to the next question...
Where can you help me with ?
By now, if you're reading this I'm sure you have one or more of the following challenges in your business:
How to get out of overwhelm
Not enough visitors
Selling too little
Too complicated tools
Not enough budget
Difficulty with advertising programs
Websites that don't hold on to customer
Costs too much to win one customer
No growth in visitor numbers and turnover
How to get your life back
My task is to get you out of overwhelm and give you clarity and implement actionable strategies and tactics you can use in your marketing right now. As a result not only your business will grow but also your life-quality.
Where do I start?
In recent years I have set up several online revenue streams. These were always focused on automatic, scalable online systems. A few years ago I converted the approach into a method.
That formula is called The ClickSmartYourBusiness method. It explains everything you need to strategize, built, grow and scale your online business.
It is an 12-week step by step program where at the end you have a completely working money making machine. Just get on a 35 Free Focus Finder Zoom Call with me on goldmancall.com and I set it all up for you.
So I think this gives you a good overview what to expect from my podcast and I hope hearing from you and feel free to give your comments or sent me a message on support @jp-goldman.com.
I wish you all the best
JP Goldman
Is getting out of overwhelm what makes you happy?
Aristotle came to the unsurprising conclusion more than two thousand years ago that human beings want above all to be happy. American psychologist Mihaly Cskszentmihalyi added in 1961, "Happiness is pursued for its own sake, while any other goal-health, beauty, money, or power-is valued only because people expect it to make them happy.
Cskszentmihalyi sought a term for the state in which we feel happy. He called it "Flow." But when are you "in-flow"? In interviews with more than a thousand people, he found five common factors that all interviewees described when they talked about the term "happy."
Happiness, or even "flow," begins when you:
A) are focused on performing an acitivity.
B) that you decide for yourself,
C) that is neither too easy (bore-out) nor to difficult (burn-out).
D) that has a clear goal
E) to which you receive immediate feedback.
Cskszentmihalyi observed that people who are in a "flow" not only experience deep satisfaction but lose also the sense of time and self-perception- they are completely absorbed in their activity. Musicians, athletes, actors, doctors and painters spoke of the happiness they experienced as a result of strenuous activities, completely contrary to the widespread view that happiness is related to relaxation.
Are you a professional in overwhelm in search for your "FLOW"?
I'll be happy to help you strategize your focus activity that neither wil bore- or burn you out and coach you to find the perfect goals to grow and scale your business.
Check out www.goldmancall.com for my 35 min Focus Finder Call. I promise I'll help you before you're even decide to work with me. No worry, no sales talk. Just finding out if we're a good match.
No worry, be happy😍
Facebook’s AI is shutting down ad accounts and business managers left,
right and center – and sometimes for no solid reason at all. So how to prevent your Facebook ad account from getting shut down?
If you had your account flagged by Facebook, getting it back can be a giant pain. Especially, if you are a new business, you probably do not have access to live support. And if you write to “Support” or “Help Center”, all you will get is a tailored, automated response.
So, let me tell you what all you can do 1) To avoid a ban in the first place 2) And, get your account reinstated after a ban.
First things first.
Go Through Facebook’s Ad Policies
Going through Facebook’s Ad Policies is a good place to start. Especially, if you are in a tricky niche like “weight loss” or “mental wellness”, you need to be extremely careful when writing copy for your ad as well as your landing page. (Yes, the Facebook algo crawls through your landing page as well).
And, if you had your landing page flagged for some reason, you can go to this link AFTER you make the required changes. Entering your URL in the “Batch Invalidator” will force Facebook to clear their cache and recognize the new, updated version.
You should also avoid making extravagant claims in your ad and on your page. Not using trigger words like “FREE” and “SECRET” would also be wise.
Make Sure Your Business Manager is Set Up Correctly
Again, pretty obvious.
But there are many among us, in their excitement to get their first campaign up and running, don’t follow the necessary steps.
So, one of the first things that you should do is,
Verify your domain
As per Facebook,
“The integrity of content on Facebook is a serious concern, and domain verification is a step towards ensuring that only verified owners can edit the way their content appears on Facebook.”
Sooner or later, Facebook shall make domain verification mandatory. So, I would strongly suggest that you do it right away. It will hardly take you 10 minutes. And if you hate this techie stuff, hire someone to do it for you. Here’s a quick video by Facebook which shows what all you need to do.

Set-up Two-Factor Authentication
Again, this is not mandatory but recommended.
You can choose to receive an SMS on your phone or a code or on a third-party authenticator app when you attempt to login to your account.
Verify Your Business
Go to Business Settings>Security Center so that Facebook can verify your business. This is how you do it.
You may be asked to upload an official government document when you attempt to verify your business.
However, if you are an established marketer and are spending quite a bit on Facebook, you may have qualified for monthly invoicing. In this case, you do not need to submit documents for business verification.
Use Separate Data Accounts and Ad Accounts
Create two separate ad accounts – the first one being a test account or a data account. And the second one, an ad account where you spend the majority of your budget. So, in the event your ad account gets locked up, you still do not lose your data.
Add Someone Else as a Business Admin
Go to Business Settings>Setup Guide to add someone else as a business admin. So, you won’t lose access even if you get locked out from your business manager.
How to prevent your ad account from getting shut down
Repeated Payment Declines
If you are seeing an “Account Error” in your ads manager, this is due to a failed payment. And if this happens again and again, Facebook will flag your account. So, watch out for those email reminders, and pay down your balance immediately.
Try to Get In Touch With a Facebook Rep
Sometimes, instead of an automated email, you might receive an email from a Facebook rep. SAVE this email address and get in touch with them in the event that you are ever locked out.
