WHY JUMPSTART

Despite all your progress, your studio is capable of much more.

You often wonder: “How does everyone else do it?”

Enter Joel Pilger, founder at Impossible Pictures. Despite all the success for which Impossible is known, in his first 7 years Joel was in make-it-up-as-you-go mode.
‍
His studio was stuck. He was overwhelmed. He almost burned out.
‍
Fortunately, Joel discovered a framework which propelled his studio to win better clients/bigger budgets, grow his team, and produce its best award-winning work.

In the years following, his studio grew from USD 150K per year to USD 5M per year, an astounding transformation.
‍
In Jumpstart, Joel invites you to embrace this powerful framework and push your studio to its next level.

What you will learn.

THE JUMPSTART FRAMEWORK

FOCUS FRAMEWORK

1. Identify Your Genius

Challenge: You feel stuck wearing way too many hats.

Make the Leap:The sooner you stop majoring in the minors, the sooner you will develop your deep expertise that you love doing. Let’s identify your Genius so you can focus on it.

POSITIONING FRAMEWORK

2. Carve Out Your Positioning

Challenge: In the vast sea of sameness, your studio doesn’t stand out.

Make the Leap: How can you break through and get the meeting with better clients? Stop stumbling over your words and start expressing what makes your company special.

DECISION FRAMEWORK

3. Be Choosy: The Three R’s

Challenge: You can’t resist saying yes to every client and project, even the bad ones.
‍
Make the Leap: Know which opportunities keep you stuck vs move your studio forward. Apply a simple standard so you always know which are true wins… and not time wasters.

QUALIFYING FRAMEWORK

4. Fewer Proposals, More Projects: The Three D’s

Challenge: As the price on your proposals goes up, clients start ghosting you.

Make the Leap: Skip the runaround and guessing. Deploy a simple 4-step process that saves time, generates more wins, and lays the foundation for your studio as the expert.

PRICING FRAMEWORK

5. Charge More

Challenge: Other studios charge much higher prices, but you can’t seem to do the same.

Make the Leap: Gain the confidence to charge more and win top-dollar projects. Employ a pricing method that expands budgets… enabling you to produce your greatest creative work.

EXPERTISE FRAMEWORK

6. Take Charge

Challenge: You’re tired of clients bossing you around, creating scope creep and compromising the creative.

Make the Leap: Flip the script so instead of taking orders, you’re taking charge. Learn the natural conversation that stimulate clients to follow your lead to bigger and better outcomes.

ALUMNI TRIBUTES

I’m busy building a time machine so I can go back and take this class five years ago. It’s THAT good! You’ll never be the same.

Patrick Mallek, Founder at Mighty Fudge Studios

The number of eye-opening “ohhh I get it now, that makes so much sense!” moments is off the charts. It’s all solid, practical, implementable stuff.

Henry Baker, Agent & Producer at Great Friends

Not only did we go from $25-50K budgets to winning multiple six-figure projects, Ryval Studios now stands out from the competition in ways it never did before, much of which I have to credit to Joel and Jumpstart.

Jon Morgan, Founder & Executive Producer at Ryval Studios

If you are on the fence, Jumpstart is the single most beneficial workshop that I have ever done for my business. Put in the time, you will not be disappointed.

Ed Rhine, Owner & Executive Creative Director at Spillt

Amazingly after Jumpstart, in just one year our total revenue increased by 900%.

Felippe Silveira, Co-Founder at Mowe Studio

I kid you not, the best thing that Jumpstart gave us was knowing our worth, planning for our future, and reaffirming why we started a business: to build a better life and attain our dreams.

Nico Puertollano, Co-Owner & Executive Creative Director at Rezonate

I’ve recommended Jumpstart to many, whether you’re an owner of a small company or ready to make the jump into something bigger.
