The Power of Transformational Course Design in Online Learning By April Beach

Uncategorized Jul 24, 2023

A transformational course is an online learning journey that delivers measurable, transformational results rather than just being a set of contents delivered over a timeline. This approach revolutionizes how entrepreneurs, especially small businesses, can make their courses, services, or programs stand out in a world suffering from content overload.

 

According to Canto.com, content overload occurs when a specific area is blanketed with numerous blog posts, articles, ideas, and suggestions. This sheer volume makes it challenging for any single piece of content to stand out. Worse, it can deter potential audiences who don't want to sift through endless content to find what they need.

The solution to this issue? Embrace simplified transformational course design. Here are some steps to consider:

1. Articulate the end result:

Clearly state the end result that participants can expect from your course and describe the full transformation in detail. It's not enough to say participants...

A Strategic Guide to B2B Sales and Licensing: Paving the Way for Million Dollar Deals

b2b sales licensing scaling Jun 12, 2023

Taking the leap into business-to-business (B2B) sales can be a daunting task, particularly if your experience has been primarily in business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. However, by understanding the key differences and strategies involved in B2B transactions, you can confidently navigate this new terrain and potentially close deals worth millions.
