How to Make Your Messaging More Powerful
Messaging is a foundational piece of your business. It’s where your copy, your marketing and PR efforts, and ultimately your sales come from. Figuring out how you communicate your offer is key to reaching people and get them into your orbit.
But what is the key to powerful messaging?
Michelle says it starts with your audience. Understand who they are, what their challenges are, and why they’re hesitant about going all in on the change you could create for them with your business. Truly emphasize with their needs, fears and objections.
Be aware of the journey your clients are on and that there is a big number of people who is still unaware of you. If you can capture their attention, that’s how you grow your audience. Think about what would make them notice you and what kind of offer would be compelling for them.
The 3 Word Rebellion
Michelle came up with a concept to capture people’s attention in a heartbeat: The 3 Word Rebellion. Its goal is to create intrigue and curiosity, but also to position entrepreneurs as thought leaders and create a message that is spreadable.
An example of this is Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule. When Michelle came across it, she immediately wanted to know what it was about. Mel got her with three little words, and all of a sudden, Michelle was consuming her content.
If you want to come up with a three word concept for your business, think about
- What gets people’s attention and makes them curious?
- What makes them think about themselves and what impact do your words have on their businesses?
- How do you keep their attention once you have it?
The 3 Word Rebellion is about getting people into your door. It’s gabbing that initial attention without you having to dye your hair a crazy colour or doing funny dances on TikTok. It’s a powerful way to own your space in your industry, and be a category of one.
