Running Sir Marco Robinson B2C Challenges in Five Steps

Step 1: Understand Why Challenges Beat a Single Sales Video

For years, many consumer brands relied on video sales letters, which are essentially one long video built to make a sale. They still have a place, but Marco points to a format that people are far more excited to join.

A challenge invites people to take part rather than simply watch. Over three to five days, participants learn a skill, take action and see progress. Because the experience runs across several sessions, it feels much more valuable than a one-off webinar or presentation. That higher perceived value is exactly what brings the cost of each lead down: more people say yes to the same advert.

Step 2: Pick a Clear, Specific Promise

The best challenges promise one tangible result in a short window. Sir Marco shares examples across a wide range of markets:

• Fitness: get a simple blueprint for your gym routine in three days.
• Personal finance: learn how to build great credit in three days.
• Relationships: improve your dating skills or find a partner.
• Technology: learn SI for your business.
• Writing: discover how to write a bestselling book in three days.

Notice the pattern. Each one names an outcome people genuinely want and a timeframe that feels achievable. Start by writing your own version of that sentence.

Step 3: Plan a Manageable Daily Schedule

One of the reasons Marco favours this model is that it is realistic to deliver. A typical structure looks like this:

• Day one: around an hour, setting the scene and delivering an early win.
• Following days: roughly 45 minutes each, building skill by skill.

That rhythm keeps energy high for participants without overwhelming you as the host. You give real value every day, and people return because they can feel themselves improving.

Step 4: Add a VIP Option

For participants who want to go further, Sir Marco suggests offering a VIP version with extra paid days. This gives your most committed people a deeper experience and adds a second income stream to the challenge itself. It also helps you spot the participants who are most ready to work with you at a higher level.

Step 5: Turn the Challenge Into a Personal Brand

The benefits reach well beyond the sale. Spending several days with your audience lets them see who you really are: your knowledge, your style and the way you live your subject. That kind of familiarity builds trust in a way a short advert never can.

Marco highlights a lovely side effect here. Even people who do not buy straight away often come away with goodwill. They follow you, watch your content and look out for your next offer. Meanwhile, the wins of other participants become social proof that draws in new sign-ups next time. Running challenges also sharpens your own skills as a presenter and teacher.

What the Results Can Look Like

Sir Marco shares one example that shows the potential: a three-day challenge on writing a bestselling book that turned roughly £900 of advertising into nearly £50,000 in sales. Results will naturally vary from one business to the next, but it illustrates why he sees challenges as some of the most efficient ad spend available today.

1. Choose one result your audience wants badly.
2. Frame it as a three to five day challenge.
3. Map out an hour for day one and shorter sessions after.
4. Offer a VIP upgrade for those who want more.
