She explains that most marketing lacks a connected journey, causing audiences to watch and engage without taking the next step. She introduces a weekly three-part framework: Attention — stop the scroll with relevance and specific pain; Trust — build belief by explaining what's really happening, why it happens, and how your approach differs; and Conversion — use a clear, confident call to action that directs people to the next step. Participants review their last six posts, write attention hooks, create a trust post from one hook, then draft a conversion message tied to one offer, such as booking a call or downloading a lead magnet. Sally shares examples throughout the session, emphasizes that every post should have one clear job, and encourages participants to share their three drafts in the GSD group for feedback. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:34 Why Posts Don't Convert 02:23 The Three-Part Framework 04:26 Audit Your Last Six Posts 10:58 Attention Hooks That Work 16:43 Trust Content That Builds Belief 23:25 Conversion Posts and Clear CTAs 27:13 Map Your Three-Post Sequence 30:35 Template Walkthrough and Timing 35:23 Real Examples and Homework 44:34 Wrap Up and Next Steps FULL EPISODE VIDEO LINK: https://youtube.com/live/xJMaHdftJik?feature=share Join the Private OmniSAM Community: omnisam.com.au/gsdgroup Facebook Group: gsdfb.omnisam.com.au Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/sallysparkscousins Watch the Live Stream & Subscribe for More Updates: OmniSAM YouTube: youtube.com/@omnisamsoftware Sally Sparks-Cousins YouTube: youtube.com/@sallysparkscousins

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
