My sales calls have an extremely high conversion rate–near 100%. Maybe these questions would be better as reinforcing questions for the sales call? We have some of them on our interest form (pre-call), some of them on the call, and others in an onboarding form. We seem to have patched the leak from the interest form to booking a call, so that’s…Read More

I like your questions Ruth (and the high converting rates !!). But I was wondering if you have students who want to take lessons but cannot/ will not make the time to practice daily, but may do it like twice a week. Knowing they ll make less progress obviously, but happy to go at their own pace – I am thinking people like me, in their 40s or 50s,…Read More

It seems like you’re asking people to commit to a lifestyle in order to be successful. I’m curious about things like, what’s going to get in the way of you putting in the necessary practice time? I’m also curious about their vision of success for 3 months, for 6 months, for a year. And I’m also curious about their story – why do they want to learn…Read More

Ruth this is awesome!

A couple of small things come to mind

1- referencing the author – I would add a tiny more explanation – “”I was excited because I knew Eastman’s books, Are You…”

2- layout – I might consider putting the NOT – on the same line as Fiddlesticks
– and bolding “What would make it IMPOSSIBLE…” (I love this question)…Read More

Hey Ruth – I love this storytelling and anology – but where is the tie in back to you, your biz, the lesson with music, etc? I feel like this ends kinda abruptly – I’m a little lost. Can you patch the holes?

I love this! and yes – what Shannon said!!! 🙂

Your 4th topic – how you learned to play violin again after having a stroke – is inspiring. It sounds like a great title for a TEDx talk!

Getting down to the wire! If @AMYMSHANNONHERNANDEZ-COM doesn’t have any objection, I’m posting.

I think the others can become clearer. Here is an example: 3. TOPIC: Making practice fun for children
Nobody likes doing things they have to do. So it should be no surprise when children resist music practice. I have worked with —number of kids— over the —number of years—, what questions do you have for me about how music practice can be…Read More

The 4 it is for me too – I did not have a stroke but I have not played the piano for decades. It is more difficult to play by ear. But my piano moved in to my new home, so I ll have to figure out how start again at some point 😉

#3 is fascinating to me. I remember getting guitar lessons but not really wanting to do them. I would have loved to have some exercises that encouraged me to pursue music.
