“Live launches are dead.”
“People aren’t showing up anymore.”
“Sales aren’t what they used to be.” 🙄

But there is one problem when it comes to visibility. And it’s called fear.

What's remarkable about this strategy is that it combines the power of evergreen funnels with a scaled-down live launch. Get the behind-the-scenes from a recent launch activity that converted at 40% (industry averages are 2-5%) and made $120k in online sales.
