    • Abhishek Ranjan

      Student retention is very low in completing the course selling model, whereas in consulting we can’t leverage more, In Program-based depends on physical capability.

      steps to choose a community name:
      1. Who is your audience, What problem are solving
      2. should be around your mission.
      3. First word would be your target market
      4. the second word should be the goal
      5. and third which represents the community.

      what an easy and simple techniques

    • Deepak Kumar

      The best is to give your community name around your mission.

      Here are the steps which I learn while listening to this podcast…

      1. Understand who is your audience.
      2. What problem are you solving for your audience.
      3. What goal are you looking to achieve them.

      – Start with the MISSION of the community.
      1st word should relate to the TARGET MARKET.
      2nd word should represent the GOAL.
      3rd word should represent the COMMUNITY.
      Just 3 magical words and you are ready with your community name.

      It was so easy now…wow…

    • Mini Menon

      This podcast has come at a appropiate time. I was thinking on what to name my community
      My takeaways
      – The community should have the name of our target audience
      – It should also have a word which denotes what is that problem we are intending to solve
      – IT can also have Hub, Tribe etc to make people feel part of the community.

      As always thanks Sidz for reading my mind and bringing the information in such an easy and crisp manner.

    • Ramkrishna Patel

      Great knowledge

    • Jeet Patel

      Thanks sidz for your valuable Episode
      My key take aways are below:

      1, First community name should be target market name
      2, Second should be #1 goal for our target market which we are going to accomplish
      3, Third word should be Hub, Club, Academy like that so can we understand that this is the community name

      • SUNIL DANDGE

        Wonderful

    • Ishita Deb

      3 Things to note to name my community are
      1. Targeted audience
      2. Mission of the community
      3. And goal that the community is going to achieve

    • SUNIL DANDGE

      Now I got Idea to name the community like ILH, there should be 3 components. target market, niche and community name

    • Savita S Agarwwal

      Closer interaction, can help ppl closely

      Better scale, high ticket

    • Dr D Srinivas Rao

      Not able to play.

    • Amitaj Ram

      Build a Community around your mission..

      Course  – Dont have a retention
      121 – has Time bandwidth
      Community is best – Where actual nurturing happens

      1. For WHO?
      2. What Problem?
      3. What Goal you are looking out for?

      Should be around your mission, Target Audiences

    • Dinesh Jayachandra Setty

      Learning
      !. Reinforce learning through community building has better impact
      2. Consulting is having closer interaction with more impact. Cant Scale because of time constraint
      3. Program based like sharing knowledge with boot camp or i day or 3 days program challenge requires your physical presence.

      Community building is confluence of all the above 3 and leverage time and presence with the community.
      When looking out for a Name for community we need to have the knowledge as to what we are addressing as in
      1. Who are you focusing
      2. What are their pain points
      3. What are their Goals
      Create a mission and Vision and around that Community name should be built

    • Gita Ramachandran

      It got stopped in between

    • ASHIMA GUSAIN

      That was a very thoughtful way to come up with a community name. The name itself will attract new members to the community as it would clearly bring out the essence, the mission & the target audience of the community.

    • Rajiv Bhatia

      #ILH
      Community Building enables closer and continual contact among the tribe. It enables unlimited possibilities to support each other and form collaboration. Community name should be simple to decode: Ideally, three words expressing : who is the audience, what problem is being addressed and what is the Goal.

    • Murli Sharma

      It is better way to think our community name to add customer types, their goals, and the different name of association like..tribe, hub , academy etc… awesome… learning……

    • Aashish choudhary

      target marketing
      three models – consulting, courses and coaching
      Consulting as 1-1 and we can charge little higher and as premium member
      Program based model
      Community based model – and tends to group coaching model – it will save time and energy
      community name should have some suffix and prefix which will give sense
      Community should have mission
      first word is target market second word is goal and third word as community.

    • Manoj Soneji

      ICC/Power Learning/Podcast/Take Aways/16-Feb-23

      How to Name a Community?

      The Psychology:
      Mode 1:
      Course based -> Course completion is less -> retention is low
      Therefore Community is a better

      Model 2:
      Consulting based Model -> 121 consulting Life coach -> Closer Interaction -> Deliver Impact /Clients at much deeper level.
      Challenge -> Won’t be able to scale unless there is a time band

      Model 3:
      Program based model -> 2 day / 5 day / Boot Camp
      Challenge : Time
      Reach: 1 to many -> Depends on Physical presence

      Model 4:
      Community base Model -> Encompass all into it.
      Membership based model -> Access to -> courses, weekly coaching, group coaching, Super High Ticket consulting [Quantum level, leverage the support of the community + ILH]

      Selection:
      1. Who is the audience?
      2. What problem are you solving for the audience?
      3. What Goal they are looking out for?

      Suffix: Hub / Club / Tribe / Academy / Alliance
      Make the audience feel they are part of something bigger.

      Step 1: Mission for the Community
      Ex: ILH is mission to help people live lifestyle of freedom
      Lifestyle + Hub + Internet =>Internet Lifestyle hub
      Deeper mission : Teachers and leaders -> Leverage power of internet to grow and succeed
      It is around the Mission -> Least employees

      Strategy:
      Example 1
      1st Word: Target Market
      [Ex: Entrepreneurs]

      2nd Word: Goal
      [Ex: Entrepreneurs create more profit]

      3rd Word: Hub / Academy

      Outcome: Entrepreneurs Profit Hub/Academy

      Example 2: Students Communication Hub / Academy

      COMMUNITY NAME -> CONGRUENT with GOAL

      “Building a successful community is like giving a name to a baby – it should be strong, reflect its purpose, and encompass its potential. The mission and vision of the community should guide its name, with each word carefully chosen to represent the audience, solve their pain points, and achieve their goals.”

      Naming a community requires a deep understanding of the target audience, the problems they face, and the goals they want to achieve. It’s essential to have a mission and a vision for the community that aligns with the audience’s needs and values. Adding a suffix or prefix like Hub, Club, Tribe, or Academy can give the community a sense of purpose and make the audience feel like they are part of something bigger. Choosing a name that is easy to remember and represents the niche is also crucial. Building a community is about creating a space for continuous communication and collaboration, where everyone can support each other and form a tribe. Community building can take different forms, such as consulting, program-based, or community-based models, depending on the audience’s needs and preferences.

    • gurcharan singh

      Amazing insights about the community model and their name..
      Thanks & regards

    • Janardan Kar

      #ilh family
      Understanding of the content: Why & how community building is important
      WHY-
      1. One deals with knowledge-giving as a coach, consultant, or mentor.
      2. The very purpose is to impact their lives by adding value and getting them the desired results.
      3. If you sell a course or do a few high-ticket sessions of 1-2-1, or conduct a live seminar/online webinar- it is a kind of one-time activity and it ends at the end of the activity. The continuity of impact is not guaranteed. Further engagement to have accentuated impact is not ensured.
      4. In the selling of the course, does not ensure its completion nor has the provision to get further clarification.
      5. High-ticket 1-2-1 consultation takes out time freedom as to cater to a large number of people you have to invest an awful amount of time and associated energy.
      That is the reason it will be a smart win-win way not to sell a course alone but also to sell the membership of a community of learners and implementors. So, it is pertinent to build a community and naming it properly will create a brand image with time to attract people who vibe with its Vision-Mission-Values. This V-M-V will be the bedrock of the community. The name of the community should connect with the target customer, problem/goal and of course a word for the community (Tribe, Hub, Academy, etc.)
      HOW-
      Having understood the why part and giving it a name/ brand, now it comes to the How part of community building.
      A. While selling the product or service add the membership of the community free. Post content on the page regularly to add value. It is to enthuse them to be familiar with your genuine intention to serve. The scepticism and doubts & fears, which are natural for human beings, will go away with time and they will buy the course.
      B. For the paid members, organize weekly group coaching to fortify the principles and also answer their questions, and remove their doubts. These questions will give further clarity about their problems and it will give (a) you the topics to address in your regular content postings, (b)improve the course material, and (c) create further advanced courses.
      Of course, it will make you an expert in dealing with internal resistance and addressing their future queries.
      C. As members in the community grow up it will help in accountability, members helping each other by answering queries and sharing their learnings. It opens up all kinds of creative and innovative things to make it a vibrant community of passionate members to help each other and grow together.

      A charismatic leader with a powerful CORE message will attract people around his mission and vision. Gradually a community is formed. Over a period of time, leaders will pass away and die. A NAME for the community will live for eternity and a quintessential one should radiate the core mission and vision set out by the leader at the start. It is recommended to consider the community name in three parts. COMMUNITY NAME = TARGET MARKET (Who are you targeting?) + GOAL (What problem are you solving?) + SYNONYM FOR COMMUNITY (Hub / Alliance etc).
