    @IceCreamKid Yes, this does help. I currently have the same process as you. I offer a free training and have consistent opt-ins. Do you have your call offer presented as a discovery type call or as a call strictly to see if you would be a good fit to work together? My initial call offer was...

    My funnel guy had the same thought as you as far as just going straight to 1 on 1 and not have a course. I also agree with your thought on high ticket to blue collar start-ups. I had thoughts on targeting down even further on their current size say requiring a minimum of $100k in revenue in...

    Thanks for the input! I have definitely pondered on writing a book although I'm no author by any means, but the reason being is there are not very many books specifically concerning growing a Welding shop. There is one that I have read and it's a bit outdated. I agree going on the defense...

    500+ LinkedIn Connections in 30 Days

    EXECUTION 
    Is there a reason why after sending out a connection request that I see the same people? Whether it is later in the day when I go back on or even when I request them all and a new set pops up some are the same ? Am I missing something? Great thread BTW

    Growing a MFG business

    MARKETING 
    Thanks Walter Great points. I have been thinking getting some flyers made listing my capabilities - fabrication and equipment wise that I can leave with a card. I was thinking of a short paragraph like you mentioned explaining the benefits of working with my company. I am unfamiliar with...

My business focus has been changing from motorcycles to, in my opinion, a more realistic and profitable side of metal manufacturing and fabrication. Having done post card mailers with mixed results...

    The 5am Club - Worth it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I get up around 5:15, get my workout and a good meal in, read for a half hour or so and sit and chill for a short time and be grateful for everything. I feel like you have to take everything in once in a while or even daily if possible. You are never guaranteed tomorrow. Also make the bed every...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Another great read!! Finished a while back but I remember right from the beginning I was easily able to relate the dreaded time spent in the office to the same type of monotony in the work shop slaving for the boss. Hits home.
