THIS. This is the type of video that I'd send to everyone that call Chris a fraud or put him in the same category of finances gurus that always talk abstract nonsense. This is pure analysis, perfect mathematics of the business of design and marketing. Love it.
Now that's some high business level stuff. I'm a freelance brand designer and this is really valuable content. Last video I watched of chriss about generating lead and I practically applied all the insights he gave and man it works like charm. I've a subscriber since I started out my Carrer and just want to say, I wouldn't have come this far without chris do❤❤💫💫🔥🔥
@@thefutur seeing how he handles the most common objection designers get, always breaks the limiting belief I have about my work not being that valuable. Made me believe in my price and made more confident when negotiating.
I was grossing 300k now I'm pushing for improvement this year is on track for 600k and my goal is to clear a million in 2026. I usually blow off low ballers. Now I'm pulling them in with different strategies.@@thefutur
@@thefuturHey Chris, "Give me businesses where you pay only after you use it if you like it"" I mean... -Amazon -telesales 90 day money back, -Any online sale actually (distance sale mandatory 14 day cool down). -free trials (pay from the fourth month if you like it I mean...i have only really put my money in a temporary type purgatory type joint account with you where I still have total access to it back within my trial/return period. Money's not truly yours until it's in your account where I can no longer reach it. So I for that reason I haven't actually paid unless I am fully satisfied enough to keep it. I even know people that were satisfied and still returned it after theyd completed their use. Many an Adobe project completed that way with different emails back in the struggle days after the cracked cs versions ended I am one hundred percent with Chris as always ...but he asked the comments section for examples so here they are bro even without the crookery part. Amazon no questions asked returns.
Chris negotiation strategy showcases the importance of flexibility and creativity in client interactions! 💼 Establishing measurable baselines and exploring alternative payment methods can lead to win-win outcomes for both parties involved.
I think the issue is for people that don’t agree with you is that they’re not taking your advice and adjusting it to fit themselves, they’re taking it exactly how you say it and are getting upset that that will never work for them. No one is forcing anyone to take your advice exactly to the T for every business on the planet. But for this specific scenario it’ll definitely work.
@@thefutur Usually it's just a cold open with cuts from moments in the video. Now you got a whole bit in the beginning with the transparent HUD and swiping it away. It's honestly so cool and refreshing to see a different type of intro. Kinda like your old intro for "The Process" where you enter the studio from your car.
13:40 one thing to note here is that scaling is not linear in cost. Say you spent $1000 in ads to acquire that customer at $45 each, if you ramp up your ad spend to $1500, it does not mean your CPA (cost per acquisition) stays the same. It might now be $46 each. There's a limit to how much you can scale in this situation, unless you increase LTV (lifetime value) or simply increase profit margin (usually by decreasing manufacturing cost).
Make the video already (or release it 😂) Also, I thought he was going to upsell… How do I get the 7k customer to 15k? “Would you like to know how?” Yes “Here’s my offer” 😂 Awesome stuff! Personally connecting and working with non-profits so visually seeing and hearing this is helpful as I navigate value of services. ❤
Ive learned so much from this and also learned the natural ways ive been doing some negotiations is right. Which also encourages me to use these other techniques to ramp my buisness up. I appreciate you so much Chris. Thank you
2:07 Okay, the ONLY time I can think of a business like that is a hospital/emergency room. Not just any doctor (because most doctors in the US require a copay first), but if you go to the ER or get something like imaging done, you get the service and use the products (i.e. treatment, consultations, a hospital bed, equipment, etc) first and then get a scary bill in the mail after. You don't HAVE to pay and it can hit your credit, but you can file bankruptcy to avoid paying. It's definitely not a "pay what you want" scenario, though. But that's NOT a typical type of business, and that's without getting into the debate of whether hospitals should be for-profit or not.
When I applied this approach both in mindset and practice to my conversations with prospects for my agency, from Mom/Pop shops to companies doing tens of millions per year in gross revenue, I instantly saw 2 changes: I made A LOT more money and I closed happier prospects a lot more often strangely enough. Chris & Team is out here trying to help creatives understand that they are actually business people if they own their own brand. You're not a designer, a brand strategist, a videographer. You're a business owner. If you don't understand and articulate business to other business owners, it's very hard to communicate the value of your service/outcomes. The fact that they post this for FREE for everyone to soak up is WILD.
Thanks a lot for making these walkthrough videos 🙏 Mist of these concepts are relatively new to me and some of them I didn’t really understand cuz they’re a bit beyond my business capacity. I’m still starting out in design and I was wondering how a humble designer like me can apply these concepts at this scale? Please make the next video 🙏
I have several programs. start here: Go to the www.theFutur.com for more. we also have the pro group. thefutur.com/pro-group and one on one thefutur.com/coach/chris-do
I have to say I haven’t yet cone across a professional in your line of work so interesting. I am so pulled into your videos. I know you are in the digital world but are you able to create videos that fit the remodeling/construction sales world?
@@thefutur Basically, I am asking how to implement your strategies in construction sales For example responses I can have to objections or excuses customers bring up during a Sales meeting And how to create urgency or the understanding of value to the work/time I put in to a project. And why they should choose me as their contractor . I know it’s pretty general, but those are the basics that I’m asking about I hope I explained myself properly Thanks so much for taking the time to read my comment and looking into helping out
car dealer ships? you can drive the car X amount of days and decide if you want to keep it or not. You can negotiate the price in almost every case (before or after the test ride)

car dealer ships? you can drive the car X amount of days and decide if you want to keep it or not. You can negotiate the price in almost every case (before or after the test ride)
There's always going to be an exception to a situation, but I think you get the point.
What about courses and bootcamps where you only pay after landing a job in the field?
people do that. you have to be very selective who you give the course to.
Correction: CPA = Cost Per Acquisition
