Not a usual a commenter tbh BUT THIS ONE VIDEO is THE MOST VALUABLE YT video I've watched on this platform! I couldn't let it in the browsing history without at least a comment!!! and a sub! why the heck not!
1:03:35 this reminds me of a video made by a RUclipsr, titled "What makes a short commercial successful?" basically, all the ads we've watched growing up, and the ads we watch now, some of them tells a story so beautifully well that you remember them for a lifetime (once I literally tried to find a link to an ad I saw on RUclips to share to my friends because it was that amazing. Imagine, something people have subconsciously learned to avoid, ads, I found it so interesting that i wanted to share it to someone!) That video would be very valuable for someone who makes videos/animation (like me) and someone who is trying to think of ways to market their products. There's a high chance you can get clients from it and you can sell your products to other videographers from the same video!
It’s so (pleasantly) obnoxious that this video came out when it did because the past three weeks I have watched three online webinars for various lead generation tools and strategies. Seems like you’re the only one who isn’t selling a magic pill related to their product or service. Thanks for the helpful tips. Making moves already and seeing results. This video helped me to refine some my current action steps.
Commenting is not something that I do but, I feel compelled to do with you. I once heard someone say. There were 10 speakers at an event. When it was over, one of the guest went up to one of the speakers and said you were the best speaker out of all of the speakers. Then the speaker said to the guest, No, I'm just the speaker who story connected with your story. So you felt like I was speaking to you. It just seemed that I was the best speaker. The Futur, I connect with how your teaching and how you answer the questions I didn't even know I had. You don't leave me guessing what you meant when you teach. You explain everything. You stand out! I see you moving! as you put it at the end. From my heart to yours thank you.💜💚
I’ve watched a lot of videos on digital marketing including Chris’s other videos but this is the bomb and ties it all together. I’m not in AV but in IT support services and this is totally applicable. Thanks Chris for sharing.
I listened to this on my way to work, during my lunch break, on my way back home, and while putting my toddler to sleep (thank goodness for AirPods). Now, I’m rewatching the whole thing while cooking dinner for my family and cleaning up the kitchen. There’s so much to learn AND Chris’ calm voice makes it so easy to listen to.
I am a wedding videographer and I am honestly struggling with Scaling. A LOT !!! it's been over a year trying to figure out how. This video is soooo valuable. It answers how do I become premium, but I still struggle with scaling so much. There isn't a lot aimed at Wedding videographers or post-event video guys like me :( Also being in South Africa it's such a different landscape here. But thank you so much for this. I will be watching this video again SOOOOON
I’ve been a fan since forever and even former member of the pro group. It’s something in me just doesn’t allow me to push forward and apply everything it’s like I get to 70% of the steps and when I see success I stop. It’s soooo gah dang annoying. I’m hoping to continue to immerse myself in the information and community until I can finally break out. Thank you for the continued wisdom you share its invaluable
being exposed to this channel has been a privilege. Atr first I thought I need to watch every single video. After sometime I am now thinking. I need to asses where I am and start watching the videos that are relevant to my situation. Watching them is not enough. you need to watch, study them by making notes. Last but not least take action. Which is what my next step is.Thank you futur!
Verry verry accurate, and im not gonna lie its a lot of work but with new ai tools and a little ingenuity and a lot of luck. You 2 could be seeing massive improvements in everything you see as an opportunity instead, of this is to saturated and impossible.
On one hand, I love your dialog with the "customer", but I find in reality in my B2C (business to customer) conversations, my budget inquiries inspire the sounds of crickets, as they want me to give a price first, and their cards are kept close to the chest (as I would do in the reverse roll). I design for people's home spaces/residences. I know you do all B2B sales, where as your potential clients have a more tangible outcome, or goal, which is measurable. Sounds like I need to put my potential clients more at ease with the conversation up front and walk away if the necessary info is not given to me up front. Your comments would be welcome. All in all, love your advice and I appreciate your dedication towards helping creatives. It is much needed. Thank you.
Great insights on embracing digital transformation for business innovation. For entrepreneurs, remember that integrating a CRM system early can help manage customer data effectively, which is crucial when scaling up. It's not just about having the tech but using it to enhance customer relationships and streamline operations.
Thank you for this wonderful workshop (incredible coaching and wonderful conversation), love how you incorporate knowledge from previous podcast interviews
12:50 an artist MUST be self centred so they can deliver what THEY created and not what people wanted because it would not be THAT artist's own authored work otherwise. Please consider this. This is a complete fact.
Incredibly valuable..! I really appreciate these videos and it gives such a good insight into your work and what we can expect from working with you. I’m not sure whether I fully understand the thing with saying “is it safe to assume that this is not important for you?”. I think I am getting the idea but what if the client feels offended by that? As in “what do you mean?? Of course it’s important, that’s why I’m here”. That’s basically a great answer.. but what do you respond to that? I feel like I’d have to apologise in that situation 😅
@@thefutur Yes, that is very true :-) I was just wondering what you'd do, if they take it like an offence.. If they say "of course it is important for me.. why do you say that?". I feel like some people might get confused by that.
I'm having hard time understanding the part when he started talking about customer journey at 1:00:35. Does he mean the customer journey for the client 'Event host' meaning that when Chris make videos on RUclips he's gonna show how his creative service will be used for the client to create Awareness then Interest to the client's customers? and for the problem is it the Chris's prospect problem or Chris's prospect's customer problem. This is start to feel like Fibonacci sequence
Maybe, it's mostly focused for creators in the design space. We do portfolio reviews, lead generation and processes. What are you struggling with right now?
Where can the first video of this session be found? Chris even mentioned somewhere in the video that we should go watch the previous video but I can't seem to find it on the channel.
As a dance instructor clients comes easy now, but what I struggle now I'm not paid enough for my energy exerted time is less but pricing power is not mine right now
Amazing video and love you channel - the knowledge you have and how you present it is literally like watching an artist at work, just so good. I have a question at 1:04:00 when talking about the message to turn it into a YT video, do you mean explain the process of the sales pitch as a YT Video? So that then other potential client's would see that video and want the same thing? If so how would you approach that and keep it specific but also general enough that potential clients from a different sector other than events can relate to it? Thanks
Brother i need to know about 'how to market myself as job seeker' with no experience but required skills and internship so what's some top books on marketing ourself in such a situation as I've heard that presenting oneself with confidence matters a lot in terms of convincing clients or recruiters..
Im no industry standard, but I'd say that a book might not help as much as reaching out to strangers who might have the job you're looking for, having a conversation/call with them and offering to help them. If definitely want a book, the 3 I'd recommend are $100M Offers (to get clear on what you have to offer) This is Marketing (to understand what exactly marketing is overally) $100M Leads (to figure out how to use marketing) again; IRL trying is probably better than just reading
From one internet stranger to another, I would say that developing a portfolio should be a priority for yours. You need to be careful in consuming books and educational content, but being stuck and not actually creating anything to show off to clients and companies. Don't overconsume information, rather create a couple of products and learn along the way. Cheers!
we have a series of videos on how to interview for job w/ Petrula Vrontikis on this channel. check those out. If you're curious we also offer a course by Petrula. start with the free video first.
Hi Brother, you wear enough hats. Try moving your mic up to avoid the scratching sounds, naturally caused by the vibration of your voice through your body. Love apetown101
I think this would help you out with getting more people to watch/HEAR. Explaining what you are doing like in 7:15 we don’t know you have a pyramid and that you put needs at the bottom of the pyramid✨⭐️lmk if it helps or I’ll see in the next videos 🎉
@@thefutur That’s the same day session. You can tell by what they are wearing and the board in the background is the write up from How To Attract New Customers
I know a guy with 10K subs and 200 bucks revenue in a 1st world country That might be a lot in some places, but the margin is low that's like if 2 people out of a hundred gave 1 dollar each. My point is, it's better to use social as a lead magnet to some other product or service or affiliate marketing learnt this from RUclips Secrets by Sean Cannell from Think Media. I recommend that
What is your channel about? Are you able to use affiliate links? Can you work with brands/companies? Can you sell you own services/products? RUclips monetization is a small piece of the pie.
Why does it always have to be about money? I see your map and diagrams to making a ton of money. I see your portfolio reviews where you tell "young guns" to do this and that to conform so corporations would love them. What don't you teach them and us just to be creative.
Because the vast majority of creatives don't naturally have a logical business mind. We don't think in numbers. In order for us to keep doing the things WE LOVE, the reality is, we need money to continue to do so. Before following Chris and the Futur, I had developed skills on the creative space for nearly 3 years. Flat broke and frustrated, but keen to continue in the design/creative space, I knew I had to learn the business side. The more we learn how to get in front of the right clients, the more we get to work on incredible projects that really light us up. ❤

I agree
22:20 "Instead of chasing people, you give them value upfront, so then they end up chasing you. So we're shifting the dynamic." Word.
as a 3D artist getting into art toy design this channel is pure gold, I hope to be generating enough soon to be able to access the paid content
See you in the future

Thanks, Chris from The Futur for so much valuable marketing content shared.
All the best,
This may just be the best video I've ever seen before.
Your ability to breakdown each part of the sales process and highlight the mental struggles with real world examples is amazing. 😁

this is what I need, I've been struggle to define what I'm selling as a photographer. I know its not photos and "services" just too broad. thank you
You're so welcome!
Just like other videos you put up, just with video business flavor. The core concepts are applicable to any business. Thanks!
we agree. if you understand the concepts, you can apply it to any field.
On one hand, I love your dialog with the "customer", but I find in reality in my B2C (business to customer) conversations, my budget inquiries inspire the sounds of crickets, as they want me to give a price first, and their cards are kept close to the chest (as I would do in the reverse roll).

Thanks Chris, this was a journey full of valuable information!
Oh man!! Thanks for sharing this Chris! Such a powerful strategy!!!

Damn, this was a great watch! Thank you for sharing your outlook and approach to sales and marketing, Chris!

Yes. That’s an artist. They take all the risk.
They crate for themselves.
Design as a service is not the same.
Please note.

Maybe, it's mostly focused for creators in the design space. We do portfolio reviews, lead generation and processes. What are you struggling with right now?
This is great content. Is the access to day 1 gated and available in the paid Pro?
We will release to the public.

I did say that.

Thanks for the vid. I get everything you say, but how do you go from DP to agency if you don't have the funds?
I'd also like hear this answer.
I'm also making the transition
though I feel it's gonna be to… make the funds first, or charge enough for an agency

Note: If they ask how much it's going to cost tell them it depends on the problem being solved
What about for RUclipsrs from third world country like me. YT won't monetize here 😒
I can't have an answer for all problems.
you might search for other platforms that people in your country use to get information and knowledge
I know a guy with 10K subs and 200 bucks revenue in a 1st world country
That might be a lot in some places, but the margin is low
that's like if 2 people out of a hundred gave 1 dollar each.
My point is, it's better to use social as a lead magnet to some other product or service or affiliate marketing
learnt this from RUclips Secrets by Sean Cannell from Think Media. I recommend that
YT itself won't but advertisers you can find everywhere
What is your channel about? Are you able to use affiliate links? Can you work with brands/companies? Can you sell you own services/products? RUclips monetization is a small piece of the pie.
Chris - I'd love a question around God being a designer - why do you believe in God and is a belief in God enough?
That’s a brand of clothing that I’m involved with.
it's an amazing brand. checkout the website. They're brand story section might answer your question
Alright F*** it. Imma try this and report back in a few months
