Ryan Musselman

Founder @ Coaches who Close

2 years ago, I was grinding out content, stacking sales calls, and wondering why my coaching business wasn’t moving forward.

I thought the answer was to push harder.

More calls.
More posts.
More funnels.

But the hustle wasn’t the problem (it was the trap).

My breakthrough didn’t come from doing more.
It came from doing less — a lot less.

So, I built my entire business around one simple system:

1 offer.
1 workshop.
Repeat it monthly.

This took me from stuck to scaling. 

It freed my mind from having to think of 10,000 different ways to convince potential clients I could help.

Fast forward to today and I've taught 800+ coaches my specific protocol for selling 1 offer with 1 repeatable workshop. 

I even eliminated:

1) Sales calls
2) Discovery calls
3) Chasing the "maybes" 

Because the right workshop, with the right offer sequence, creates a conversion opportunity so powerful that you can actually sell a mid-to-high ticket offer without having a big brand. 

If that feels like a relief to you, I run a free 60-minute live demonstration where I show you exactly how this system works. 

By the end, you’ll have a strategy you can use right away to start selling your coaching offer.

This strategy helped my clients launch $10K, $15K, $25K, $30K, and $50K+ events.

Calum Johnson, Marketing Manager at Public

"I reached out to Ryan because I wanted to start my own podcast & get some pointers from someone who had experience & expertise launching podcasts.

Gabe Einhorn asked,

i turn your business into a podcast ➛ $5m in revenue | 500k downloads | 15m views for clients

"Do people actually charge their podcast guests??"
Yes, and they're evil...


Kidding 😂

Most of the time, they're smart. 

Only sometimes are they evil. 

Somebody in your industry 𝘪𝘴 charging $5000+ to be on their podcast. 

They’re not charging you for a guest spot.

They’re charging you for access to their audience.

They built an audience of your ideal prospects. 

So when you pay to be on their podcast, you’re getting direct access to potential customers who already resonate with the problem you solve.

Now, what you do with that access is up to you, but there's a world where walking away with a few deals could be a reality. OR this is simply a stepping stone to bigger podcasts and media appearances. 

The real value isn’t the podcast itself — it’s the audience you can earn trust with.

#blackfriday

Last night, I sat in a room with 30 real estate investors.
Millionaires, lenders, wholesalers, and vendors.
The most asked question?

"How are you leveraging social media?"

Briana answered:

"We stopped every single other marketing activity except social media and SMS. There is no better ROI for us than social media. Nothing comes close."

The hosts, Briana and Steve, have done 800+ deals. 

The attendees pressed further. 

They wanted to know how. 

Briana goes into detail:

"I have tried PPC, ads, mailers, cold email, cold calls, SEO, Google ads, local groups, and networking over the past 5 years. Social media has the highest ROI for us."

She continues, 

"If you want to do it, you need a strategy. We have a content calendar. We know what types of videos we have to make each week to bring in leads." 

This social media thing is not going anywhere. 

Remember websites? It's like that, but bigger. 

And everybody knows they need to do it. 

#socialmedia 

PS: Is social media a nice-to-have or a need-to-have for your business?

I have a client who sold over 600 life insurance policies without social media. 4 years later, I can finally show you how they did it.

No selling in their content.
No cold calling or DMing.
No networking.

They started a podcast, but that's not the lesson. I found that these advisors know that money is just a tool. They also know who the right client is, down to how they speak, act, and behave. And they know, on a deeper level, that their clients don't want to talk about money. This creates a massive separation between advisors who get clients from LinkedIn and advisors who don't. 

I have 7 advisors as clients as of today. All 7 decided to stop talking about the market, stocks or investing.

And start talking about YOU. 

YOU = their ideal prospect 

Advising = advice = bad 🔴
Intrigue = curiosity = good 🟢

Advisors look at money as an asset. Regular people look at money as a burden. I call it anti-advising. They pin money as the villain, and give you ideas to make yourself the hero. Same movie, different script.

TLDR: 

Nobody wants an advisor. 
Everybody wants more money. 
Adjust your marketing accordingly.

PS: Do you take financial advice from people on LinkedIn?

Every time I get on our monthly call, my business coach asks: “What are you grateful for?”

Last month, it was the ability to slow down.

What I thought was “slowing down” was just stopping the things I truly needed to do to keep progressing.

Fishing, golf and going to the gym are not leisure activities. They are work. The mind works even when you’re not working!

So don’t slow down, just keep doing everything you need to do to keep the engine running, including your “side hobbies” and extracurriculars.

They are curricular.

NOTHING worth doing is a “bonus.”

Everything works together to create you.

Here are many photos from the last few months that haven’t seen the light of day.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for reading! 🦃

David and Paul launched a podcast after a friend suggested it. 46 months later, here are the results👇

• 427,000 views
• 155,000 downloads
• 75% of their leads from the podcast

We spent 2 months designing this. Dave and Paul had no PR, press, ads, or massive built-in audience, so the strategy here was key. While most life insurance podcasts sounded like a textbook, they brought a new format, personality, and energy. Now, 3000 people tune in every month.

So now the question for you:

"What does it cost if you 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 launch a podcast?" 

There's an opportunity cost to everything in business.

And big thanks to Dave and Paul for joining me 🙏

If you can imagine speaking to an audience of hundreds or thousands of prospects every week, you can become a podcaster.

And most importantly, they trust you.

That’s the power of video podcasting. 

→ "So how does it work?"

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

4️⃣ Podcast Episodes Per Month
5️⃣ Clips Per Episode
1️⃣ Social Post Per Day

Simple.

You don't have to give yourself more jobs when the content can do the work for you.

Your clients already listen to podcasts; it might as well be yours!

PS: Would you start a podcast, or do you think it's already too saturated?

The average LinkedIn user has 25 video editors in their network. Here's how to hire the right one👇

Stop hunting for an editor.

Lure them in with content. 
 
🎯 Post videos consistently. 

Good editors will DM you, asking to edit your videos. Most of the people on our team came to me first with, “Hey, I edit. Want a sample?” Sample them, go from there. 
 
🤝 Work your network. 

Ask every podcast host you know: “Who’s producing your show?” Most producers juggle 5–10 podcasts. If they’re good, they can probably take one more.
 
🧪 Give a test, not a thesis. 

Share 3–5 minutes of raw video. 

Ask for:  

• a clean edit  
• a title and thumbnail idea  
• 2 short clips with captions  

Turnaround in 48–72 hours. 

You’ll know fast.
 
✅ Good: Proactive, asks questions, offers a sample.  
❌ Bad: Misses the first deadline, uses AI for captions
 
Bottom line: publish, attract, filter, hire.  

Let your content pull the right people to you.

People say podcasting is saturated, and then post on a platform with a billion users.

We all know what is actually saturated ⤵

▶  LinkedIn
▶  YouTube
▶  Facebook
▶  Instagram
▶  Tiktok

If podcasting as a medium is saturated, that means all social media is too. And you're still here. 

We all wish we were making content on YouTube when there were only 3 million users. 

That's how it feels with podcasting right now.

Only 500,000 active podcasts. 

It's just the beginning. 

Get in!
