    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    Amazing! Thank you Lex. I was trying to avoid overthinking by putting it into the simplest terms possible but obviously that's not a good strategy. More specific. Got it. Thank you holmzee... I see what you mean.

    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    In regards to selling copywriting services specifically... I've come up with the following: Who? Business owners. What? They want good work. Why? They want to make money. I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this part right. Is anyone else having trouble with this?

    Lex DeVille's 2019-22 Step-By-Step Upwork Tutorial for Brokeass Bootstrap Beginners Who Need Cash Now!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Day 0 .... here we go. Why are you doing this? I'd like to be able to prove to myself that I'm capable of producing something valuable enough for someone to benefit from it. I want to eventually become unscripted... but it's also mostly a self esteem thing. I don't think I'll end up being a...

    Read it years ago in high school. Just re-read it! it's amazing how much it's shaped the decisions I've made in just a few years.

    Finding a freelance sales person

    MARKETING 
    About 6 months ago I was playing around with the idea of doing something of this sort for businesses... lead generation and sales automation that is. In the past, I've landed several appointments through cold email... for an ad agency I was working with... it's a surprisingly effective strategy...

    Calling All Salesman (Advice Needed!)

    EXECUTION 
    I've been reading back over this thread and have been looking at this guy's content. Lot's of great stuff... but like with most of these guys... my spidey sense is tingling... If it's this easy why isn't every 17 year old kid with a macbook air living like a little mini Zuckerberg? View...

    I've taken this advice to heart over the last year or so. It just doesn't seem this simple.

    Not really... Though I’d be open to getting back into it. Would you like to discuss?

    Starting my first E-commerce course

    INTRO 
    Why does it feel like everyone is trying to squeeze every last dollar out of dying mass-marketed internet business models from like 2006? Maybe I'm wrong... but by the time a lot of this stuff gets made into a course it's no longer relevant... yet there's an entire economy based around selling...

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Days 6-10 - Ummmmm.... I've parted ways with the social media marketing company after their CEO saw I wasn't dealing with the stress well and tried to aggressively indoctrinate me into his religious organization. One more office lease payment and I'm out. I was the heaviest hitter in...

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Days 2-5 - Progress Slowed... Still Going. The landing page is mostly done... although we've got a bit more copywriting a design work left to do. I've been pulled away from working directly on my lead gen service due to having to help the social media marketing agency close sales and...

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    The agency is focused more on video production, web design, brand strategy, social media, and FB Ads. They're creatives. They don't run Google Ads and they don't sell.

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    This is great. I know basically nothing about Google Ads but I can sell packages and manage the sales processes all day. Would it be alright to DM you about this?

    Awesome! Best of luck! Have you considered posting a progress thread?

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    The good thing about having partnered with a social media marketing agency with a relatively decent network and very little ability to sell/convey value is that I'm constantly meeting motivated prospects who are being pitched the wrong thing. Today for example... I had a prospect ask if we...

    Local Lead Gen Service

    EXECUTION 
    Makes perfect sense, yes. I've actually worked with a local real estate agency in the past building out sales processes... automated followup... CRM setup.. scripting... training... packages... etc. I left with $1000 for putting $30k in deals in the table for them but I was making calls myself...

    Hello All, I've been playing around with the idea of starting a lead generation business since stumbling across this forum a year and a half ago. Long story short, I have about a year and a half of experience selling and engineering sales processes/strategy under my belt.... and zero experience...

    Best book/program/course on sales?

    Personally, I'm not a fan of sales courses... most of them use recycled info and rip each other off. If I were you... I'd read these books in order.. and start calling/selling like somebody's got a gun to your head with zero regards for failure. - How To Win Friends + Influence People -...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm the same way. I was actually diagnosed with Aspergers recently if that makes a difference. Suuuuper socially anxious... But, I work in sales. I've cold-called numbers without names and set appointments... met with multi-millionaires... and closed hundreds of thousands in deals across...

    Hello all! A lot has happened since my last activity on this forum. Below I've detailed everything... for anybody who might want to read, offer insight, or just talk. RECAP: Dropped out of College at 19, read Unscripted. Took MJ's Advice from the book and got a sales job at a gym I'd been...
