GCT — goals · content · targeting

Questions for you, Laura

Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.

1

Goals for the workshop

What does she want to get out of Dennis Yu's workshop specifically — grow Cross Seven subscribers, build a personal speaking brand, get better at paid ads, or something else? Her goal shapes what personal-brand pillars to develop.

2

Personal vs. brand identity

Does she want to build a "Laura Murfin" personal brand, or keep everything under the Cross Seven brand? Right now they are fused but neither is strong as a personal authority vehicle.

3

Social media strategy

Cross Seven has Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and X handles — but follower counts are unknown and activity is unclear. Which platform is actually working for her? Which is she willing to invest in?

4

LinkedIn gap

Her personal LinkedIn has 39 followers and a nearly empty profile. Is she aware of this? Does she want to develop LinkedIn as a personal-brand channel, or is her customer not on LinkedIn?

5

Email list size

She likely has a subscriber email list from the crossseven.org subscription business. How large is it? This may be her strongest owned channel.

6

YouTube subscriber count

The Cross Seven YouTube channel exists but subscriber count is unknown. How active is it? Is she posting new content or is it mostly evergreen product content?

7

Podcast strategy

She has 2 podcast appearances across 6 years (2019, 2025). Is being a podcast guest a deliberate growth tactic she wants to accelerate?

8

Headshot

No professional headshot is publicly available anywhere online. Does she have one? If not, getting one is a basic prerequisite for any personal-brand push.
