Are your online course sales not where you want them to be? In this episode, I’ll reveal 9 powerful reasons why your course isn’t selling and how to fix them for good. As someone who’s sold thousands of courses worldwide, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to make an online course successful—and trust me, it’s not always a smooth ride.

Learn the common mistakes that course creators make, such as:

• Target market misalignment: Why your course might not be resonating with the people who need it most.
• Course content vs. customer needs: How to ensure your course gives your audience exactly what they want (and not just what they need).
• Pricing strategies: How to price your course correctly, whether it’s high-ticket or low-ticket.
• Marketing and promotion: Why you’re not selling enough and how consistent promotion can change the game.
• Sales funnels and customer journeys: Are you setting up the right process to guide your audience from awareness to purchase?

Plus, we’ll talk about how to build trust and social proof with testimonials and case studies, and why finding the right marketing channels is critical to your success.

In this episode of YouCan!, we dive into a critical tool that can make or break a business launch: a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Discover how a well-organised CRM can be the difference between a profitable course launch and missed revenue. I’ll share the story of my client Amy, who initially struggled to see the true potential of her new course’s earnings. When we analysed her sales and revenue tracking, we discovered her CRM was incomplete, concealing thousands in hidden revenue.

By updating her CRM, Amy uncovered an extra $7,800 in her sales pipeline, gaining vital clarity on her cash flow. This one adjustment allowed us to identify revenue opportunities, improve her course marketing strategy, and create a more sustainable and effective launch plan.

Join us to learn:

- How an accurate CRM can boost cash flow and improve business decisions

- The importance of using a CRM to track revenue, leads, and follow-ups

- Tips for leveraging your CRM to support a successful and profitable launch

If you’re an entrepreneur or course creator ready to unlock hidden revenue and ensure launch success, this episode is for you!
