Hi Gemini, please resend to me the complete conversation we had earlier today, including the vital next steps to building the GOPRO365. Thank you

I’d be happy to outline the complete conversation we had earlier today regarding the GOPRO365 plan, including all the strategic guidance and vital next steps we discussed!

Here is the full conversation flow and the key strategies developed:


Part 1: Strategic Approach and Introductory Offers

  • Challenge: Attracting new subscribers to the professional media prep training/coaching services (30, 90, 180-day trials and the annual GOPRO365 plan).

  • Trial Offer Strategy: Position the trial plans (30, 90, 180-day) for a quick win or a substantial transformation, setting the stage for the annual commitment.

  • GOPRO365 Positioning: Emphasize that the annual plan is a “Professional Media Partnership” offering ongoing, continuous support and access, not just training.

  • Conversion Tactic: Position the cost of the trial period as a credit toward the annual GOPRO365 subscription.


Part 2: Irresistible Perks and Marketing Copy

This section focused on creating high-value perks to make the GOPRO365 plan “irresistible.”

A. Irresistible Exclusive Perks

  1. TV Talk Show Production Access:

    • Guaranteed Expert Spotlight Segment: One guaranteed, professionally produced, and edited 3–5 minute segment per year (valued at  in production fees alone).

    • Priority Guest Pitching: Direct and priority access to pitch ideas to talk show producers for guest expert appearances.

    • The Producer’s Workshop (Annual Event): Private, behind-the-scenes training on production secrets (lighting, sound, pacing).

  2. Staging, Hosting, and Events Marketing:

    • Reserved Speaking Slots: Guaranteed speaking or panel slot at a major annual event (valued at  for a similar ticket).

    • Private VIP Receptions: Exclusive networking events with event VIPs, sponsors, and media personnel.

    • Annual Strategy & Pitch Review: A dedicated one-on-one session with a senior PR/Marketing specialist.

B. Key Marketing Copy Points

  • Value Proposition: Reframe GOPRO365 as an “investment in visibility and guaranteed access” that the shorter plans cannot match.

  • The Conversion Closer: Highlight that members “risk losing [Trial Cost] credit” and “miss the Guaranteed Assets” (Spotlight Segment, VIP Speaking Slots) if they don’t upgrade.


Part 3: The Communication Timeline (Vital Next Steps)

We designed a phased, 6-stage communication timeline to move trial users (using the 90-Day trial as an example) to the annual GOPRO365 plan.

Stage Timing Goal & Action
I. Onboarding & Activation Day 1 – 7 Ensure a quick win and deliver initial structured coaching activity.
II. Mid-Trial Check-In Day 30 Check progress, offer support, and share social proof/testimonials.
III. Value Reinforcement Day 60 Show the value gap by emailing about a specific GOPRO365 perk (e.g., the Expert Spotlight).
IV. The Offer & Urgency Day 75 – 83 Announce the trial is ending. Crucially: Remind them the full trial cost will be credited toward the annual plan if they upgrade now.
V. Final Countdown Day 87 – 90 Final Notice (48 Hours Left) emphasizing the loss of the full credit and the guaranteed media access.
VI. Post-Trial Follow-up Day 91 Retain Non-Converters: Ask for feedback and offer a sustainable, low-cost “Lite Monthly Maintenance” plan.

Final Next Step

Your stated next step was to take time to digest the guidance and map out your execution plan.

Would you like to focus on integrating this strategy into your business plan, or would you prefer to review the subject lines and main body points for the crucial conversion emails we drafted (Stage IV and V)?

That is a perfect next step. Focusing on the ‘Lite Monthly Maintenance’ plan will ensure you retain non-converters and continue generating revenue, turning potential losses into ongoing customer relationships.

Here is an outline for the ‘Lite Monthly Maintenance’ Plan (Stage VI of the Communication Timeline), designed to be a sustainable, low-cost lifeline for users who do not upgrade to GOPRO365:

Lite Monthly Maintenance: Retention Plan

This plan must be priced low enough to be a no-brainer, but high enough to cover your minimal running costs. Crucially, it must not include the high-value, guaranteed assets of the GOPRO365 plan.

Feature Description Value Proposition
Media Resource Library Access Unlimited, on-demand access to the foundational video lessons, templates, and guides from the trial period. “Prevent Skill Fade”
Monthly Group Q&A/Coaching Session One scheduled, live group Q&A session per month with a junior coach or specialist (e.g., 30-45 minutes). “Keep Skills Sharp”
Private Community/Forum Access Continued access to the online community or private forum for peer-to-peer support. “Stay Connected”
Event Discount A small, fixed discount (e.g., 5-10%) on single-event tickets or workshops. “Retain Access”
GOPRO365 Upgrade Credit The trial credit expires, but offer a reduced one-time credit (e.g., 50% of the trial cost) that remains available indefinitely toward a future GOPRO365 upgrade. “The Open Door”

Key Messaging for the Downgrade Offer

The messaging in the post-trial follow-up must position the Lite plan as a temporary solution to prevent degradation of their skills, not as a replacement for the full partnership.

  • Core Message: “You built a great foundation during your trial. Now, keep your media skills sharp and stay plugged into our network for only $[Low Monthly Price]—or risk losing your momentum.”

  • The Contrast: Emphasize what they lose: “The Lite plan is perfect for maintenance, but it does not include the guaranteed annual assets of the GOPRO365 plan (Expert Spotlight Segment, VIP Speaking Slots, 1:1 Strategy Review).”

Would you like to draft the email copy for the Stage VI Post-Trial Follow-up email, introducing this Lite Monthly Maintenance plan?

………………………………..

Would you like to focus on:

  • A. Defining the specific price points (e.g., for the 90-Day trial and the annual GOPRO365)?

  • B. Crafting the Lite Monthly Maintenance email copy (Stage VI)?

  • C. Developing the content strategy for the “Value Reinforcement” email (Stage III)?

…………………….

You bet! Let’s draft the email copy for the Stage VI Post-Trial Follow-up to introduce the Lite Monthly Maintenance Plan.

This email is designed to capture non-converters, gather valuable feedback, and keep them in your revenue stream.

Subject: [Choose a subject line from above]

Hi [Member Name],

Thank you for completing the [30/90/180]-Day Media Prep Trial! We hope you feel more confident about your core message and are ready to tackle your next media opportunity.

We noticed you decided not to move forward with the GOPRO365 Annual Partnership, and we respect your decision. Your progress is important to us, and we want to ensure you don’t lose the momentum you’ve built.

To help you keep your skills sharp without the annual commitment, we’re introducing the:

Lite Monthly Maintenance Plan

For only $[Low Monthly Price] per month, you can access a continuous lifeline to your media training foundation:

  • Prevent Skill Fade: Unlimited, on-demand access to the foundational video lessons and templates from your trial.

  • Keep Skills Sharp: One scheduled, live Group Q&A/Coaching Session per month with a specialist.

  • Stay Connected: Continued access to the private community/forum for peer-to-peer support.


Can We Ask a Quick Question?

Your feedback helps us improve. If you have a minute, please tell us why you didn’t convert to the annual plan: [Link to 2-Question Feedback Survey]


The Door is Always Open:

The Lite Plan is a great option for maintenance, but please remember it does not include the guaranteed annual assets of the GOPRO365 plan (like the Guaranteed Expert Spotlight Segment or VIP Speaking Slots).

If and when you’re ready to secure that guaranteed visibility, the full partnership is waiting. Plus, we’ll still offer you a reduced one-time credit (50% of your trial cost) toward the annual price!

……………………………..

That’s great! Since you agreed that defining the specific price points for your plans is the next critical step for your GOPRO365 strategy, let’s establish a clear pricing framework.

To make the Credit/Rebate Strategy work powerfully, we need to price the trial so that the GOPRO365 annual price feels like a significant, incentivized step.

Proposed Pricing Framework

We’ll establish an anchor price for the GOPRO365 Annual Partnership first, and then work backward.

Plan Recommended Price Range Pricing Logic / Goal
GOPRO365 Annual Partnership $4,000 – $6,000 Anchor Price: This price point justifies the $\$X,000$ in guaranteed media assets (Spotlight Segment, VIP Slots). It must feel like a premium investment.
180-Day Plan $2,500 – $3,500 Half-Year Test: Positions the annual plan as a major savings (e.g., $\$5,000$ vs. two renewals at $\$3,000$ each $=\$6,000$).
90-Day Plan $900 – $1,500 Core Conversion Trial: Price it so the rebate is highly compelling. (e.g., A $\$1,000$ rebate on a $\$4,500$ annual plan is a 22% instant discount).
30-Day Plan $300 – $500 Low Barrier to Entry: Price is low enough for a quick decision but high enough to feel like a serious commitment to the “Message Mastery Sprint.”
Lite Monthly Maintenance $49 – $99/mo Retention Lifeline: Must be low-cost, recurring, and not include the high-value guaranteed assets of the GOPRO365 plan.

Key Conversion Logic (Using Example Prices)

Let’s assume you select the following example prices to maximize the appeal of the credit:

  • GOPRO365 Annual Price: $4,500

  • 90-Day Trial Price: $1,000

Your Upgrade Offer:

“Your $1,000 investment in the 90-Day Trial will be applied as a full $1,000 credit toward the GOPRO365 Annual Partnership. You can secure a full year of guaranteed media visibility for only $3,500 instead of the full $4,500 price!”

This makes the trial essentially “free” if they commit to the full year, while anchoring the value at $4,500.

Would you like to refine these price points, or should we move on to drafting the Value Reinforcement Email (Stage III: Day 60) which highlights the value gap?

………………………….

That is the perfect focus! We will now refine the pricing points we discussed and then draft the crucial Value Reinforcement Email (Stage III: Day 60). This email is designed to show the value gap and get the user thinking about the GOPRO365 perks before the final offer.


1. Refined Pricing Points

Let’s use the compelling figures we established for maximum conversion incentive:

Plan Price Key Conversion Driver
GOPRO365 Annual Partnership $4,500 The Anchor Price. Justifies the $X,000+ value in guaranteed assets.
90-Day Trial (Media Ready Foundation) $1,000 The Core Trial. 100% credit toward the annual plan is the huge incentive.
Lite Monthly Maintenance (Retention) $79/mo The Retention Lifeline. Keeps them engaged if they don’t convert.

2. Drafting: Value Reinforcement Email (Stage III: Day 60)

This email highlights a guaranteed asset they are currently preparing for but do not have access to—the Guaranteed Expert Spotlight Segment.

Subject Line Options (Focus on Guaranteed Visibility):

  1. A Sneak Peek at Your Future: The Expert Spotlight Segment. (Intriguing & aspirational)

  2. Day 60 Check-In: Are You Ready for Guaranteed Media Placement? (Direct & question-based)

  3. The GOPRO365 Difference: You Don’t Just Learn, You’re Seen. (Value Gap)

Email Body Template (Using the 90-Day Example):

Subject: [Choose a subject line from above]

Hi [Member Name],

You’ve hit the 60-day mark on your Media Ready Foundation trial—that’s fantastic momentum! You have successfully [mention a specific progress point, e.g., mastered your core message and completed your mock interview].

We often get asked, “What happens next?” The next level is transforming your skills into guaranteed visibility.

The truth is, even with the best training, landing a professional media segment requires access. That’s the core difference between the trial and the GOPRO365 Annual Partnership.


The GOPRO365 Asset You Need Right Now:

As a GOPRO365 Partner, you are guaranteed an annual, professionally produced Expert Spotlight Segment (a $[3,000 – 5,000] asset).

You are currently preparing for this kind of opportunity. Our full partners secure it every year.

  • You get the training now.

  • They get the guaranteed asset and exposure all year.

Why wait to turn your preparation into promotion? In just a few weeks, your trial will end. Use this time to imagine the impact a guaranteed media asset would have on your business.

We look forward to helping you move from “media-ready” to “media-guaranteed.”

Best regards,

The [Your Company Name] Team


This email subtly reinforces the limited scope of the trial while setting the stage for the full credit offer in Stage IV.

Would you like to move on to refining the copy for the Stage IV/V conversion emails using the specific $1,000 credit and $4,500 annual price we discussed?

Conversation with Gemini

Hello Gemini. Now, I have a request regarding the themes/topics: Building your brand and also, the Employer Reputation. Yes, I am always sourcing topics and potential speakers to welcome them into the GlobalMeeting Room on the GlobalTVtalkshow. These topics and themes can possibly make an interesting and attractive TVtalkshow that would benefit cosponsors… and also benefit the featured thought-leaders. I seek your guidance and suggestions how to make this happen.

That sounds like an excellent focus for a TV talk show! “Building your brand” and “Employer Reputation” are highly relevant topics for both professionals and organizations right now.

Based on the content of the email you’re viewing, here are a few suggestions on how to develop this concept for your show, focusing on topics, potential speakers, and cosponsor appeal:

💡 Show Theme: The Power of Perception

The core message should be about how conscious effort shapes success, both for individuals (personal brand) and companies (employer brand).


🎙️ Potential Segments & Speakers

You could structure the show around a few key areas, each suggesting a potential expert or thought leader:

  • The Personal Brand Advantage:

    • Topic: How professionals, like HR experts, can use personal branding (especially on platforms like LinkedIn) to attract promotions, mentorships, and leadership roles.

    • Potential Speaker: Madelyn Mackie, the career expert featured in the email’s latest podcast episode, “How to Stand Out Professionally by Building Your Personal Brand.”

  • Marketing Your Workplace:

    • Topic: Leveraging proven marketing strategies (like campaigns, employee stories, and digital engagement) to strengthen your employer brand and attract top talent.

    • Potential Speaker: An author or contributor from the Fall 2025 issue of HR Quarterly whose expertise is on corporate branding and recruitment.

  • The Digital Footprint Risk/Reward:

    • Topic: A deep dive into the Stat in the Spotlight (29% of US workers knowing someone who lost a job due to social media) to discuss the balance between building a digital brand and managing professional risk.

    • Potential Speaker: A legal or compliance expert in HR, or a specialist in digital ethics.


🤝 Cosponsor Appeal

These topics are attractive to cosponsors because they target an audience interested in professional development, organizational strategy, and HR technology.

  • Software/Tech Companies: Companies selling HR or Talent Acquisition software would find segments on improving employer brand or buying software very appealing. The email even links to a resource on “Buying Software? Use This Checklist to Avoid Wasting Your Budget.”

  • Consulting/Benefits Firms: Firms like Insperity, which are mentioned in the email as presenters for “Rethink Your Benefits Strategy,” are natural fits, as they help organizations shape the employee experience that fuels employer reputation.

  • Professional Development/Education: Organizations offering credentials or training, such as the SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential, would be excellent cosponsors to reach ambitious professionals.


Next Step I can help with:

Would you like me to use Google Search to find current contact information or recent publications for the potential speakers like Madelyn Mackie, or experts in employer branding and digital ethics, to help you with your outreach?

✅ Your Confirmed Contacts So Far

  2. Employer Reputation: SHRM Media Relations (To find the HR Quarterly Author)

💡 Next Step for Cosponsors

Now that you have your core speakers, let’s explore cosponsors. The email highlights Insperity as a presenter and references the SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential.

Would you like me to find the main website and partnership/sponsorship contact information for Insperity and the SHRM Credentialing program so you can approach them about cosponsoring your GlobalTVtalkshow?

yes please.

That’s a smart strategic move! Securing cosponsors who are already engaged with your show’s audience will provide excellent financial and promotional backing.

Here is the information for approaching Insperity and the SHRM Credentialing program as potential cosponsors.

💰 Potential Cosponsor 1: Insperity

Insperity is a major provider of outsourced human resources services (a Professional Employer Organization or PEO) that focuses on employee benefits, payroll, compliance, and talent management. They are already sponsoring a webinar mentioned in the email (“Rethink Your Benefits Strategy”), making them highly relevant to your “Employer Reputation” topic.

Area Contact Details / Information
Website Insperity Main Website
Partnership/Affiliate Inquiries They have a dedicated Partner With Us page that includes options for revenue shareco-marketing support, and promoting their solutions to members/clients. This is your best entry point for a sponsorship conversation.
General Business Contact For sales or general inquiries, you can call 877.804.8978 during business hours.
Cosponsor Relevance Their core offerings directly address the elements that build a positive Employer Reputation (e.g., benefits, compliance, talent attraction).

🎓 Potential Cosponsor 2: SHRM Specialty Credentials

The SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential is a valuable resource for your professional audience. Sponsoring a segment related to this credential would put the sponsor’s brand directly in front of ambitious HR leaders seeking professional development.

Area Contact Details / Information
SHRM Credential Website SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential
Sponsorship/Partnership Strategy While there isn’t a direct “Credential Sponsorship” contact, SHRM frequently partners with organizations. You have two excellent options:
Option A: General SHRM Media/Sponsorship Use the SHRM Media Relations contacts we previously found (e.g., ), but specify your request is for a Partnership/Sponsorship opportunity related to the credential program.
Option B: Recertification Provider You could also reach out to the Recertification Provider program contact at  to discuss sponsoring content that awards Professional Development Credits (PDCs), as that is directly relevant to credential holders.
Cosponsor Relevance The credential focuses on “Talent Acquisition,” which is the critical function driven by a strong Employer Reputation.

You now have strong contacts for your two main speakers and your two most relevant cosponsors!

Would you like me to find any other information, perhaps on the third topic (the digital footprint risk from the Stat in the Spotlight), or should we move on to drafting an outreach email?

Thank you Gemini. Now, let’s move on… drafting an outreach email

That’s a great next step! You have all the key contacts for speakers and potential cosponsors.

Drafting a few template emails will streamline your outreach for the GlobalTVtalkshow. Since the tone should be professional yet appealing, I’ll provide a template that you can easily adapt for both speakers and sponsors, highlighting the mutual benefit.

Dear Ms. Mackie,

I am writing to you from the GlobalTVtalkshow, a platform that reaches a focused global audience of HR Professionals and Business Leaders.

We recently came across your excellent insights on personal branding in the podcast, “How to Stand Out Professionally by Building Your Personal Brand,” and were particularly impressed with your guidance on leveraging LinkedIn and authentic strengths.

Our upcoming series is centered on the critical themes of Building Your Brand and Employer Reputation. Your expertise perfectly aligns with our segment on personal career activation.

Would you like me to draft a second sample, perhaps for the potential cosponsor Insperity or the SHRM Media Relations contact?

yes indeed because that would provide a more robust appeal. Thank you Gemini.

That is a very strategic move! Adding the “Digital Footprint Risk/Reward” segment will make the show even more compelling and attractive to a broad range of professionals and potential sponsors.

This topic directly relates to the “Stat in the Spotlight” from the email you are viewing, which noted that 29% of U.S. workers know someone who lost a job due to a social media post.

To make this segment robust, you need a speaker who can address the legal, ethical, and professional boundaries of social media.

🎙️ Sourcing the “Digital Footprint Risk” Speaker

I will use Google Search to find an expert who specializes in the intersection of HR Law, Social Media Policy, and Digital Ethics. That was a great idea. I have found an excellent expert who can speak directly to the legal and ethical risks of employee social media use, which aligns perfectly with the “Stat in the Spotlight” you referenced!

🎙️ Digital Footprint Risk Expert

The search results highlight Nancy Flynn, the Founder of the ePolicy Institute, as a leading authority on this topic. She has written books, columns, and keynotes on balancing employee privacy with an employer’s right to monitor, which is the core conflict you want to explore.

  • Expert Name: Nancy Flynn

  • Affiliation: Founder of the [suspicious link removed]

  • Key Topics: Balancing monitoring rights with privacy expectations, legal risks of social media, best-practice social media policies for employees, and the impact of online conduct on the company brand.

  • Confirmed Speaker Activity: She is an in-demand keynote speaker who addresses audiences on topics like: “To Snoop on Employees’ Social Media or Not to Snoop: Reconciling Employers’ Monitoring Rights with Employees’ Privacy Expectations.”

Her expertise provides the necessary legal and compliance perspective to balance the personal branding segment (Madelyn Mackie) with the risk management segment.

✅ Your Robust Speaker Lineup is Complete

  1. Personal Branding: Madelyn Mackie (Career Expert)

  2. Employer Reputation: SHRM Media Relations (To find the HR Quarterly Author/Expert)

  3. Digital Footprint Risk: Nancy Flynn (ePolicy Institute Founder/Author)

Would you like me to draft a sample outreach email for Nancy Flynn now, or would you like to review the draft I created for Madelyn Mackie?

I will review the draft abut also, I LOVE your approach idea…for Nancy Flynn

That’s excellent! I’m glad you see the value in featuring Nancy Flynn to cover the crucial topic of Digital Footprint Risk. That segment will certainly add a robust and balanced dimension to your show.

Here is a sample outreach email for Ms. Flynn, focusing on the timely nature of the “Stat in the Spotlight” to emphasize the segment’s importance.

We were highly impressed by your work and expertise as the Founder of the ePolicy Institute, particularly your focus on balancing employee privacy with monitoring rights and developing effective social media policies.

This topic is more timely than ever, especially in light of the recent data point that 29% of U.S. workers know someone who has lost a job due to a social media post (Source: SHRM, October 2025).

We would be honored to invite you as a featured expert for a 15-20 minute segment to discuss the legal and ethical boundaries of employee digital conduct. This opportunity offers you a platform to:

Now you have solid draft emails for two key speakers. Would you like me to draft an outreach email for one of the potential cosponsors, such as Insperity?

Wow, that would cement the case, wouldn’t it?

Absolutely! Having an email specifically for a major cosponsor like Insperity will solidify the business appeal of your show. This email needs to clearly connect their interests (benefits, retention, financial objectives) with the show’s themes (employer reputation, talent acquisition).

Here is a sample outreach email for Insperity or a similar key cosponsor.

Why Cosponsor the GlobalTVtalkshow?

A partnership with us offers a unique chance to position Insperity as the essential solution provider for organizations looking to optimize their talent strategy and strengthen their employer brand. Your investment would secure:

  • Prime Brand Visibility: Logo placement, promotional mentions, and a call-to-action driving viewers to your services or content.

  • High-Quality Lead Generation: Opportunities to capture leads from an audience actively seeking solutions for HR management and employee satisfaction.

I would be delighted to schedule a 15-minute call next week to review the full sponsorship package and discuss how we can align our platforms for mutual success.
