JigsawBox Tip: *Refresher* Give Your Clients A Test Drive

Posted on by

Before you commit to paying for a JigsawBox account, you have a 14-day free trial to determine whether it’s the right solution for you. Your clients can have the same opportunity if you give them a free trial. When you give your clients a test drive, they can have a closer look at what working with you would be like and it may lead to more sales. Here’s how it works:

When you edit or create a new package, you have the option of including a number of days of free trial for your clients to take a look at what you’re offering. The number of days you choose will be reflected in the client’s PayPal payment. For example, if you set the trial for 7 days, the client’s PayPal page will show a 7-day free trial when they register. It will also show a payment of whatever price you have set up for the client to pay. This is the amount the client will be charged automatically unless they choose to cancel.

Once you set this up in PayPal, you’ll go to the Package Modules at the bottom right of your create/edit package page and click on each one in turn. Select how many days you would like your modules to be available. For example, if you want three of your modules to be available during the trial period and the rest to be available immediately after the trial finishes, you would set the first three modules to be available on day 0, and the rest on day 7.

It is important to note that if a client cancels their payment and decides not to continue after their trial, that you deactivate the client from the package on the My Clients page. Even when a client is deactivated, they will still be able to access everything that was available to them during the free trial, so you have to be selective about what you make available during this free trial period. For example, don’t give your clients a free trial of ALL of your modules, especially if they are content-packed. Those who plan to just take a test drive will still be able to access all this information for free even if you deactivate them.

The alternative is to delete a client entirely, which means they will no longer be able to access your package. You can do this on the My Clients page.

We’d love to hear any success stories or challenges with offering free trials to clients. Please leave your comments below.

Monday Mindset: Are You Stealing From Your Clients?

Posted on by

I read a quote by Neil Young the other day ‘Holding back is so close to stealing’.

That really thumped into me with an almighty whack an understanding I’ve had for years – I know all about ‘not playing small’ and ‘going after the big vision’.

But this quote really reminded me that when you’re not playing full out, you’re cheating your potential clients out of the help you could provide them with.

I know it can be frustrating when you’re not serving as many clients as you’d like to.

I also know it can be tempting to give up.

But I see it like this. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people out there who are waiting for you. If they never find you, their lives will be crap. And that will impact on their kids, their husbands and wives, their friends and colleagues at work. And that will impact on their kids, friends and so on and so on. There’s a huge ripple effect of you NOT reaching out to that client.

When I think of them, I have this image I’d like to share. It’s like they’re ‘tagged’ with your name. The person who has the perfect solution to help them overcome this specific problem they have.

But the tag is invisible and no one can see it. And when they do find you, that tag next to their name lights up when they connect and work with you and they’re so glad they found you, and you rock their world.

But if they never find you, that tag remains invisible – it might flicker every now and again as they come into contact with someone else that can help, but that tag won’t shine until they find the person that can help them change everything.

And if your name is the one on their tag, not doing what it takes for them to find you is pretty damned close to stealing, wouldn’t you say?

So even when it’s hard, even when you’re wondering why you set out on this path at all, even when you’re tempted to give up – know that those clients are all sitting out there with your tag – you’ve just got to get in front of them and show them you’re the one.

JigsawBox Tip: What To Do With Your Book

Posted on by

Learning! It's great for you!Today we want to show you another way that you can use your Jigsawbox.

We have a lot of queries come into Support to say “I love JigsawBox, but I don’t have any programs at the moment. I only have my book.”

Well, you have a package right there!!

Take your book/ebook, and turn this into your program!  And it’s really simple to do.

Take each chapter of your book and turn it into a module.   That’s one package.  Price this at the same price as your E-Book.

Now for your VIP package…create a copy of the package you’ve just made.  Then, for each module (and based on the subject of the chapter) add in some questions and homework tasks for your client to complete.  Learn more about questions here.

Release each chapter on a weekly basis to give you client some time to complete their homework.

You can upload an audio version of each chapter to each module if you wish for those that prefer to listen rather than read.

Why not add a Forum, for all your clients to interact with each other? You can learn more about our forums here.

You can use this Package as a taster for your clients while you work on content for more packages.

You can price this package as a VIP package to take in consideration the extra questions, content, use of interactive Forum, and weather the client will be getting personal responses from you to the answers they submit.

So that’s 2 packages to start you off.

As always, check out our FORUM, or email us support@jigsawbox.com.
