REBEKAH CAMPBELL - 138 DATES

ON DESIGNING A SALES FUNNEL FOR HER PERSONAL LIFE, IN ORDER TO FIND A PARTNER.


Throughout her 20s and 30s, Rebekah Campbell spent every waking hour building her business Hey You; a payment and booking app designed for restaurants and cafes.  

She’d raised money in Silicon Valley, the app was rapidly onboarding new restaurants, her team was growing, and she’d established a strong profile in the start-up world.   

By all external measures, she was a success. 

But...there was something missing. 10 years into building the business she realised she hadn’t been on a SINGLE date. At 34 and single, Rebekah decided to take action and apply what she’d learned in business to finding a partner.  

She designed a dating sales funnel and then she wrote a book about it - 138 Dates. It's a cracking tale about finding love and finding herself.  

You’ll learn: 

  • How Rebekah struggled to monetise her business despite having thousands of restaurants on board  

  • The impact building start-ups has had on her personal life 

  • How Rebekah approaches goal setting in a methodical, structured way 

  • How Rebekah designed a sales funnel for her dating life, including tactics that helped her fill the top of the funnel and filter through the prospects 

  • How she optimised her dating process over the course of 2 years 

  • How she makes decisions from her head and the heart

THE BITS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS

I worked out my superpower was that I could set my mind to something and I knew that I was not the kind of person to give up. Therefore anything was possible, which is super empowering. It’s empowering, but it also doesn’t necessarily lead to a very happy life.
— On how her determination in business affected her personal life.
My friends were had developed these personal lives, and I saw people having these lives, and that their business or their career was a part of their life. But it was quite a small part of their life in terms of what was actually really important to them. [I realised] I don’t have any of that stuff, I’ve just got my career. I didn’t want to live like that forever. I wanted to make a change and I was willing to make a really bold change.
— On realising her business didn't have to be her ENTIRE life.
I really wanted a partner and a family. I’m getting older and I’m worried about my fertility. It crept up and it crept up, and then it reached a point where I was kind of the fear of missing out on the life that I wanted vs. the embarrassment. The priorities kind of wrestled, and then I was like right, this is the problem I’m going to solve now.
