Our Mission ❤️
We started this company in 2019 because wanted to solve the big problem we stumbled into while building Live Your Message.
We were selling a LOT of courses that were built in the traditional way — the way that everyone else was doing it.
And we saw that only around 5% of our students were completing. After talking with other business owners and educators, we realized that this was an industry-wide problem affecting all businesses, and nobody was talking about it.
We decided to do something about it, because we didn't want to keep "failing" our students, and we knew this level of abandonment was a huge financial drain on our company. (Students who quit a course don't buy from you again, obviously).
That's what took us into gamification, adult learning psychology and Silicon Valley app & game techinques.
We implemented the ideas into our own courses and very quickly, our student completion rate had risen to over 50%.
We decided to create Xperiencify after enough of our students, clients & customers asked to use our platform.
Our Big Why is to help people who buy courses to get better results, so they can achieve their goals and dreams. Which in turn, that helps business owners like you touch so many more lives than you ever thought possible.
That's what drives us.
A Little About the Amazing Folks Who Make Xperiencify 💪
Hi! I’m Marisa! 👋
Co-founder of Xperiencify, CEO of Live Your Message, a global online business education brand, creator of over 30 courses, speaker and educator.
Having worked directly with tens of thousands of business owners and adult learners, Marisa was uniquely positioned to figure out what works and what doesn't when it comes to virtual learning and student motivation.
And it's this experience which led her to create the Experience Formula, the 10 core experiences which must be present in any online or virtual learning environment to create student learning and engagement.
The Experience Formula became the foundation of the Experience Product Masterclass, Marisa's signature 12-week program to design, market and sell an "Experience Product", and become the backbone of Xperiencify.
