On this episode, I got to sit down with Krista Mashore—a true powerhouse when it comes to marketing, event strategy, and now, AI tech for business. Krista’s done just about everything, from teaching school, becoming a top real estate agent, to running a multi-million dollar coaching company. What really blew me away in our conversation were her insights into using AI to grow your business, build tools fast, and connect with clients in unique ways. Plus, we broke down how her monthly virtual events keep bringing results and why interactive lead magnets are overtaking the old models.
This episode dives deep into how AI tools are changing business, how Krista runs her events and keeps optimizing, and why it’s important to test, tweak, and actually have fun with technology. Whether you’re a total beginner or an entrepreneur looking to scale, Krista shares simple, clear examples and a step-by-step look at how you can apply these ideas right away.
Who Is Krista Mashore?
Krista Mashore comes with a background that covers teaching, dominating real estate, and finally stepping into coaching for entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants. She spent six years as a teacher, then moved to real estate, ranking in the top 1% for almost two decades. For the last eight years, she’s shifted to coaching full time and recently opened up her focus to help more experts and entrepreneurs. Krista runs virtual events almost every month for five years straight—something very few business owners can say.
Key point: Krista’s story is about change and growth, showing it’s possible to keep evolving and reach new levels by learning and trying new things.
AI for Doing More, Faster
AI isn’t just for tech experts. Krista’s stories show anyone can use AI to save time, create better content, and build business tools—even if you don’t know how to code. AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Lovable, Abacus, Claude, and Whisper Flow make building apps, scripts, and even interactive quizzes much easier. She even created an app over a weekend that would have cost thousands from a developer—just by talking to Abacus and guiding what she wanted step-by-step.
Krista says, “What you put into something is what you get out.” This means you don’t need to be a genius—just clear about your needs, goals, and ideas. AI can now do things like create video scripts for your target customer, generate content, and even help you map out tasks for the next month, all with just a few prompts.
Key Takeaways:
- AI can do simple tasks like booking appointments, building quizzes, and writing scripts.
- Most people are just scratching the surface—using AI like Google search—when there’s so much more available.
- Interactive AI-driven lead magnets are the future. They give custom info and value to each person, instead of offering old-school downloadable PDFs.
How Krista Builds and Uses Apps for Lead Generation
Krista gave a detailed look at how she built a “constraint bot” using Abacus AI. The bot asks questions, finds out what’s slowing down a business, and gives a tailored 30-day action plan to fix problems. It acts as an interactive lead magnet—something much more personal than a simple check-list or ebook. She said, “If someone built that for me, I would have paid them $5,000.”
Building happened while drinking wine, and it required no code, just speaking to the AI app about what she needed. The bot collects contact info, puts leads into her CRM, and provides people with instant value, turning strangers into followers and potential clients.
Why is this important?
- Interactive lead magnets give personal advice, making people more likely to stick with you.
- AI-powered quizzes and bots stand out, doing what downloadable PDFs can’t.
- Anyone, even with zero experience, can create lead generating tools by speaking their needs to new AI platforms.
Useful Example: Krista shared how she took a dog training YouTube video, fed it to her custom bot, and asked for a script tailored to her own coaching audience. The result: an exact-fit video script ready to go for her business.
Monthly Event Model and How It Works
Krista has perfected a repeatable process for running online events that bring in millions in sales. The backbone starts with free webinars, which sell a $47 ticket for a three-day virtual event. At these events she and her team offer high ticket coaching packages ($24,000 is the sweet spot).
Key Points:
- Over five years, she’s never missed a month, keeping a regular schedule so her audience knows what to expect.
- Every month, Krista’s team tests and tweaks something in the model—offer, price, bonuses, even the flow of purchase—to see what works best.
- The $47 ticket attracts quality leads (from testing 27, 47, 67, 97, and $100+), with cost for each lead and show-up rate balanced at this price.
Financial Stats:
- Krista spends up to $170,000/month in ads to drive webinar traffic.
- Upsells and the event itself bring in $26 million total over the years.
Her event runs live once every 5–8 months; the replay is managed by the team each month, providing ongoing engagement and sales.
The Power of Testing, Tweaking, and Feedback
Testing is at the core of Krista’s success. She shared a story about when she made a sales process change—sending people straight to a link for her high-ticket offer ($24,000)—which lost her $900,000 that month because folks needed to speak to a human before buying. She quickly pivoted back.
The approach:
- Change one thing each month, see how it affects results.
- Document every test and tweak, even those that don’t work.
- Be open to feedback from events, webinars, and especially the audience.
Student results show millions in launches following Krista’s model, proving it’s repeatable for other coaches and entrepreneurs.
Useful Quote: “What moves the needle is optimizing, testing, refining, and not being afraid to try new things—even losing money sometimes teaches you the most.”
Niche, Audience Change, and Lessons Learned
Krista described the struggle of transitioning from real estate to coaching entrepreneurs and other experts. She learned the importance of being hyper-specific at first—known in one niche before branching out. Speaking directly to an audience’s needs converts more leads, and serving everybody means your message serves nobody. She now creates double content: one for real estate pros, another for the broader entrepreneur group.
Lesson:
- Master one audience and then expand.
- Stay clear in your messaging and keep testimonials diverse to cover all the “I can’t do it because…” objections.
Importance of Human Connection Alongside AI
AI tools like her “mind clone” (built with Delphi, similar to a digital version of herself) help scale her availability. People can ask questions, get reminders, and have 24/7 support, but she’s clear: “AI will never replace the human. It just makes the human more available.” Adding mind clone access as a bonus at her events increases interaction, reminding and nudging students, but real coaching is still vital.
The more people interact, the more likely they are to buy. She referenced the “7-11-4 rule” (seven hours of content, 11 interactions, four platforms) as a signal for trust and high conversion.
