With Deirdre's hands-on experience in successfully growing her businesses to 7 figures, she now coaches e-commerce business owners on her secret sauce of using buyer psychology to make their offerings irresistibly-contagious to their customers; creating an end-to-end sales funnel that automatically converts these customers; and then nurture them into a raving sales force.

And as long as you can keep connecting with them, again, coming back to human connection, as long as you can keep showing up for them and adding value to them, then they're going to keep saying Yes. So you at least just need that first Yes, make it really easy for them, and then they'll keep coming back."
What We Discussed with Deirdre
On this episode, host Eric Dickmann interviews Deirdre Tshien about the power of tribe-building, funnels, and human connection for your business. Here are some highlights of our conversation:
- [00:04:29] The Three Fundamentals of a Business' Success - Many businesses might be wondering why they still haven't achieved 6 or 7 figures or own a private island somewhere in the Caribbean. Deirdre shares with us the three fundamentals that every business should look out for: the traffic, the message, and the human connection.
- [00:06:10] Parts of the Funnel - Funnels can be a buzzword and an overwhelming term for many new entrepreneurs. Tshien breaks down the three parts of the funnel, the top, middle, and bottom. The top part is where you drive traffic, the middle part is where you nurture your customers, and the bottom part is when your target market and buys your products or services.
- [00:10:11] How do you develop your messaging? - Deirdre Tshien likes to call it - Content Storytelling by making your customer the hero of the story. Instead of boring them out with a script of why your product or service is the best, strive to build an emotional connection with your customers.
- [00:16:41] The Key Elements of the Conversion Process - Humans often agonize about buying decisions. Businesses should strive to convince potential customers that they need your product or service. Make them feel satisfied and happy in their transaction with you!
- [00:21:27] Upselling and Cross-selling - Businesses need to give customers a specific range of options. When a customer makes a purchase decision, it's actually the best time to upsell and cross-sell with other relevant product offers.
- [00:28:00] Make your customers feel that they are in the right place - Customers can get easily offended such as advertising women's apparel to a male audience. There at times when businesses unintentionally give wrong or inappropriate recommendations because of poor targeting. If you want your customers to stay, know your target market well and feed them with appropriate offers. Don't scare your customers away!
