Dealing with modern comparison shoppers

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

I love a deal.

I'll research a new product I'm gonna buy like mad so I know I'm getting the best version at the best price.

It's common in a lot of B2C purchases, right?

Hell, even in some things like insurance there are dedicated comparison shopping sites.

Here's the weird thing though.

I'm seeing more and more comparison shoppers for B2B offers.

I've spoken to a few coaches, agencies, and consultants recently who are seeing the same thing.

They're getting people on the phone, but those people are hesitant to buy.

Calls that used to end in a sale, now end with some variant of...

  • We're talking to a few other people and will get back to you
  • Can you come down and match [COMPETITOR A'S] cost?
  • Let me run this by a few people

So, you give them the space they need and they go away and make a decision without any control from you.

And deals are lost through this.

Because in that moment, it’s not just about what you said on the call, it’s about how your business presents itself when you’re not in the room.

For the people who weren't on the call, your website is often the first thing everyone checks.

If it doesn’t instantly communicate authority, trust, and clarity, you’re giving your competitors the upper hand.

That’s why I’m sharing this free workbook from my friend, Michele Kasl.

She's packed 20+ years of branding and positioning advice into this workbook, and it’s totally worth your time.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • What $100k clients are scanning for — and why they’re skipping YOU
  • Spot the hidden trust-gaps on your site that silently kill premium deals
  • Make your messaging irresistible to both humans and algorithms
  • Position your services where high-stakes decisions are really made
  • Stop attracting budget clients, and learn the subtle shifts that signal you're worth more

Make sure you're presenting your best face when you're not in the room.

Speak soon,

Meta ads have been brutal over the last 8 weeks or so. They've been rolling out a new algo and it's made the platform way more volatile than usual. If you spend any time on the FB Ads subreddit, you'll see the panic and fear... "Worst month for ads ever in my 12+ years of advertising" "Meta advertising is dead" "I'm going back to Google ads" Then you've got all the copium that comes with it. People talking about how Meta platforms are dying (they're not), and how they don't want to pay Zuck....

Yo I get asked a lot why I built GM+ and GMM as communities, instead of just selling $2k courses, running high-ticket coaching, or going all-in on an agency model. Honestly? It came down to three things… … impact… leverage… and where the world is going I’ll explain all of this in detail here - but if you wanna see what’s in both of these tiers of the community, here’s the details. Now, onto the breakdown. 1. Why I didn’t choose the agency route (and would caution you against it) I’ve scaled...
