Crafting Your "Hell Yes!" Offer with Jessica Miller
Most marketing teams pour time, money, and AI tools into tactics, email sequences, content engines, and funnel hacks without realizing their core offer is the real problem. In this episode, Mike Montague sits down with Jessica Miller, award-winning host of It’s Your Offer, to unpack how to create "Hell Yes" offers that act as the most profitable lever in your business, especially under $1M in revenue. Together, they break down the myths of overcomplication, the pitfalls of copycat offers, and why your marketing will never convert if your offer isn’t magnetic.
Whether you’re a CMO trying to optimize pipeline efficiency or a founder chasing product-market fit, this conversation is your shortcut to clarity. You’ll learn how to tap into what you actually want to sell, why most buyers decide without needing a 27-scroll landing page, and how to use AI to support, not replace, your human-first instincts. Get ready to rethink how your best offer finds your best buyer.
