[7:44] How are you leveraging webinars in your business to generate new sales and produce more content?
"Number one, if you wanna be great, you have to realize there's only one of you."
[8:52] Scott was funding his company on his girlfriend's credit card when he first started out. He had to figure out how to get as many leads as possible, how to build an audience and how to get as many sales as possible for as least as possible.
[10:16] The idea is to use the "Sidewalk, Slow Lane, Fast Lane Methodology."
[10:41] Scott's webinars last around 3 hours. His show up rates are 50%+.
[11:00] How Scott uses natural stories, no scripts, and fun to sell with webinars.
[12:15] His main funnel starts with guides, leads to a 5-day challenge (has generated millions of dollars) and then a 3-hour implementation session.
[13:03] Anyone who joins your webinar has known you for how long? “At least 10 days.”
[14:56] Scott has one evergreen webinar (implementation session that sells $2K product).
Uses a different funnel for the high-ticket program.

[24:28] 2 different types of bots:
- Smart bots - respond to your language
- Dumb bots - "yes/no's" (qualifications)
[25:24] A bot is a new way to gather and direct attention.
[26:29] "I think every business should have a dumb bot that qualifies, engages, creates awareness, and takes attention."
