    Growing an email list with Google Ads

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    @Andy Black, Following this! I learned about self-liquidating offers a while ago. And, unfortunately, it's a topic that you don't find much actionable information on Google. I'm curious about your experience with them - mainly being: How do you troubleshoot them? (No one ever talks about this).

    COMMISSION-ONLY High Ticket Salespeople?

    MARKETING 
    For these types of deals, I've noticed that 99% of agency owners think in terms of what's in it for them - and that's exactly why they fail. It usually goes something like this: The person wants a high ticket closer because they assume the person can hit the ground running. This causes the...

    Cold Emailing experts- how can I send 500-750 cold emails per day, starting right now?

    MARKETING 
    Agreed. I don't know the specifics of what you're doing, but it doesn't seem to provide value or solve a real problem. You can buy a domain for $5 on porkbun.com And having a "unique domain name" doesn't really do anything. What's your value proposition?

    Cold Emailing experts- how can I send 500-750 cold emails per day, starting right now?

    MARKETING 
    I've found that cold emails work best by focusing on quality instead of quantity. If you send only a few, really personal and valuable emails, you would probably get better results than blasting 750 emails per day. Cold emails depend on your type of business too. What are you selling? Who...

    REAL resources on self image and self belief

    Everything on self image seemed too "woo woo" for me until I stumbled upon this: https://jamesclear.com/identity-based-habits Then I'd say these 2 books changed my life: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401945015/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20...

    Which job should you pursue until you can live from entrepreneurship

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    @broswoodwork , how long did you stay there? The hardest part of sales for me is prospecting. I know it's all mental though. I need to get over the small bs that holds me back from cold pitching more often.

    Which job should you pursue until you can live from entrepreneurship

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Business at a basic level is: 1. Identify Problems 2. Provide solutions -- You can learn to identify problems by yourself. You can provide solutions by DIY, hiring, outsourcing, white labeling etc. But you still need to SELL your solution to people. I recently saw an Instagram story of...

    Can't seem to sell our social media services

    HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    @DougRMR Having been in a similar situation before here are my two cents. 1. You need to have some sort of proof. Like everyone else said: think about it from the customer's shoes... Right now, this is your offer: "Hey, give me $1000 per month for this service. I don't have any examples...

    What is the best way to learn copywriting?

    Hey, I'm currently living in Brazil too :) Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Read all of @Lex DeVille's stuff. 2. Buy his Udemy courses. 3. And start writing copy (either for yourself or for clients) There's one guy in Brazil who I stumbled upon called Roberto Altenhofen. He's the copywriter...

    The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone - Crazy or Brilliant?

    BOOKS 
    I think being good at sales comes down to being a good human being. People can smell a salesperson a mile away. When you genuinely care about helping people solve their problems - somehow they pick up on that too. From my experience - most people focus on the meeting, the actual sales call...

    The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone - Crazy or Brilliant?

    BOOKS 
    Yes! In my experience, I've found Beflort's stuff to work well with a short sales cycle. Nobody wants to prolong any deal if it's something small and quick. But once you start talking bigger numbers - and part of closing the deal is the client's long-term relationship with you, then you need...

    The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone - Crazy or Brilliant?

    BOOKS 
    Don't know if the OP's main focus is sales or personal development - but this was a great quote. I've seen Jordan Belfort's stuff, but I think it's too pushy. He made most of his money in the 80's - 90's - so his tactics are a bit outdated too. To me, his stuff just screams "slimy salesman"...

    Took me three months of daily writing to finish this blog post. 90 Personal Development Books and their reviews

    I had a look at your blog post. Honestly, I would just get 1 book review and put it in the email sequence. 1 book per day 1 big lesson / main idea 1 actionable step at the end. Create a 90 day sequence. That seems pretty good for someone who wants to get into the habit of reading. The...
