Summary

How to Find the Sentence That Makes Buyers Stop Scrolling Your offer is solid. Your audience is there. So why are the right people still scrolling past you? Your messaging isn't giving them a reason to stop. Donald Miller, founder of StoryBrand, walked into a $300 million oil and gas company, gave them a three-word tagline, and drove a 99% lift in their test market. In this episode, he shares his PEACE framework, the five soundbites every business needs, and the three questions buyers silently ask in the first five seconds on your homepage. Your messaging fix starts here. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Revenue highs are exciting. The unexplainable dips that follow? Not so much. If your coaching, course, or membership business is at $150K or more, the problem isn't that things aren't working. It's that you can't yet see what is. And you can't repeat what you can't see. My free Live training, The Revenue Consistency Formula, fixes that. Click here to learn what's actually behind your numbers and how to bank on them. StoryBrand Messaging Intervention by StoryBrand Donald Miller on Instagram HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Build Your Messaging Around the PEACE Framework — Donald Miller's PEACE framework gives you five soundbites to anchor every piece of marketing you create: Problem, Answer, Change, End result, plus Empathy. When you build all five and use them consistently, you give your audience one clear story across your homepage, your emails, and every social post you publish. 2️⃣ People Only Buy What Helps Them Survive — Every product anyone has ever bought, they bought to increase their chances of survival. That's why Donald says your soundbite has to position you as a survival asset. When your messaging makes the right person feel you're moving them closer to the security and growth they're after, they stop scrolling and listen. 3️⃣ Pass the Five-Second Test on Your Homepage — When someone lands on your website, you have five seconds to answer three silent questions. What do you offer, how will it make my life better, and what do I do to buy it. Open your homepage right now, read it for five seconds, close the tab, and check if you can answer all three. That gap is often where your sales are leaking.MORE FROM ME Follow me on Instagram @amyporterfield SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

0:00.0	Now, we're going to be talking about your revenue in this episode. But before we jump in,
0:04.8	I wanted to ask you, do you feel confident? I mean, really confident that you know how you'll
0:11.8	hit your revenue goal this month. How about next month? How about later in October? The
0:18.5	hardest thing about running a six-figure business is that revenue comes in from
0:22.6	a lot of different channels, ads, affiliate, social media, live launches, all of which have hot
0:29.3	months and all of which have slow months. And it's pretty impossible to know when and why these
0:35.7	happen, which makes your monthly intake impossible to predict too.
0:40.5	So what if you had one system in your business that you could depend on every month to give you
0:45.2	a consistent number? That's what I'm teaching in my free live training called the Revenue
0:50.1	Consistency Formula. I'll help you take the channels that already exist in your business and tweak
0:55.9	them so that they feed each other, creating consistency and growth that you can anticipate
1:01.0	instead of random high and low weeks. If you're eager for revenue that feels more steady and a
1:07.9	whole lot less confusing, then save your seat at amy porterfield.com forward
1:13.1	slash training. All right. Now let's get to today's conversation. What's often missing is just
1:19.3	that curiosity soundbite that says, hey, wait, I'm curious. We saw a company go from $100 million
1:24.7	to a 99% increase in a test market.
1:28.3	The only thing that peaks curiosity is a zero cognitive load message that convinces me you are a survival asset.
1:35.3	But they can't get me to sit down and listen to them for an hour.
1:38.3	We're protecting your ability to make money.
1:40.3	That right there is gold.
1:42.3	I would say 25% of them have seen a 100% increase just in
