“My biggest takeaway from Amplify is that anything really is possible and that’s thanks to a combination of Gemma’s coaching and the brilliant people in the programme and putting the work in. There’s so much you learn about yourself..”

Before working with Gemma…

I had been running my business full-time for just under two years. It was really successful and I was full with 1:1 clients. But I was getting to the point where I had no capacity to make more money, and I was getting tired. I didn’t see a way forward to grow that felt good.

I had run a beta version of a group programme before, and I loved the dynamics of having a group but it was very stressful trying to launch and fill it, so Gemma’s approach to Evergreen group programmes really appealed to me.

My hesitations were…

When I joined Amplify I had high hopes, but I struggled to see how to get to the point of where other people were.

I had a lot of resistance to doing Facebook Ads, due to cost.

Lauren’s Key Points

  • I didn’t have a great lead flow in the beginning and struggled with this, but I really worked on the lead flow.

  • I got a content plan in place, started doing ads, and have a great lead flow in place now. My sales process is really slick.

  • Using Gemma’s suggestions of Sell By Chat and 15 minute gameplan calls, I’m able to pre-qualify people before getting on a sales call.

  • I have a good foundation in place for leads and it’s good to know it works to get people into my world.

  • I had some resistance to using Ads because of the investment. But it got to the point where although everything else was working, it was slow.

  • I did the Facebook Ads module in Amplify and thought I’d just try it for three months and see how it goes. Within 4-6 weeks, my email list exploded, and people were coming into my Facebook group and booking gameplan calls. Ads are now a permanent thing in my business.

  • I set up the Ads completely by myself, with the help of the module in Amplify, and some support from Sophie the Ads expert in Amplify.

  • I would never have set up my Ads if it wasn’t for the module in Amplify. It’s broken down really easily and Sophie has great ideas on how to improve them.

  • Amplify has been a game changer for my business. I’ve got a really slick group programme, in terms of how to deliver it, the tech side, and I’m much more confident to go out and sell it.

  • From a personal perspective it’s been huge for my mindset. When I came into Amplify and saw others’ results I thought I’d never be able to do that. But when I got talking to the others in the group I realised they were just like me and it made me realise that I can do it too. That was the biggest turn around for me. It made my big goals really seem possible and achieveable.

What are you looking forward to next?

I want to get to 80% group, 20% 1:1. I’m going VAT registered in January which is a huge business milestone.

Also, I just want to get more amazing women into this programme. It’s fantastic seeing them support each other.

Who would you recommend Amplify to?

Anyone who not just wants to create a group programme, but also wants a complete uplevel of your mindset and business. It’s not just a group programme on group programmes!

What should others know about Gemma?

My biggest takeaway from Amplify is that anything really is possible and that’s thanks to a combination of Gemma’s coaching and the brilliant people in the programme, and putting the work in of course. There’s so much you learn about yourself.
