When we are clear who we are trying to attract, we can put an offer in front of them and sell them things. That is what we do in the coaching business.
In this episode, Tom Krol sits down with Dustin Matthews, co-founder of WealthFit and creator of the Event Growth Formula, to reveal the proven framework that has driven over $100 million in sales through live events.
