One the biggest questions I get is this…
“Leesa, how do I price my telesummit?”
Not an easy question to answer as there are many factors to consider. However, due to what has worked for my 5 and 6-figure telesummit clients, there is a formula that you can use so you never have to host a free telesummit – EVER!
There are TONS of reasons why you must assign a price to your telesummit, not after the attendee has freely consumed all 8, 12 or 24 sessions, but before they even get access to the call-in details.
But too many make these common telesummit pricing mistakes that do more to scare attendees away than attract them to their offer.
1 – Offering one pricing option
The marketplace is stuffed with free telesummits. Too many I might add. And the most popular option is to give away all the expert interviews at no cost, then upgrade to the recordings for $67 or $97.
In my conversations with telesummit organizers, only 1% to 2% of those who signed up for their free telesummits actually upgrade. While pulling in a few hundred dollars may seem like a good ROI, you can make more by presenting options.
When you give options, you’re able to meet every budget and learning style. Providing options – in terms of pricing & features – gives people choices that they can’t say “No” to.
2 – Offering only recordings & transcripts as features
While content is great, attendees want more and will pay higher for additional features. Adding other features, such as connections & collaboration, will get attendees excited about how their telesummit experience will be enriched interacting with you, your speakers and other attendees.
3 – Using “poison” numbers in your pricing
I know one telesummit host who used a “poison” number in her pricing and could only muster $1,200 in registrations for her premium telesummit. So, just coming up with prices is not enough. You need to know which numbers to use so you attract a slew of registrations.

I just came across this – is there a recording available?
This is a homestudy program that’s now off the market. However, if you go to http://telesummitpricingsecrets.com, you’ll find out how you can add your name to the waiting list.
I’m curious to know what a poison number is!!! Sounds pretty deadly…
One of them is the number eight, but there are more. I don’t want to reveal them all because they’re in Marlene Jensen’s Pricing Psychology report and you have to understand the science behind the poison numbers before you can understand why they shouldn’t be used. But one is the number eight. I reveal the 2 magic numbers in my Telesummit Pricing Secrets program.
