    Do I *really* need to cold call? (Growing a lead gen agency)

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    I think I've seen that thread before. I guess I just got caught up in the action itself (cold calling) instead of determining how good of a process it is for the main goal of getting clients. It's easy to forget that there is no rulebook in business, the only one of course is to create positive...

    Do I *really* need to cold call? (Growing a lead gen agency)

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    So I've been doing cold outreach and lead propsceting for my lead gen agency consistenly for 11 days now (before that, when I would half-a$$ my business, I would do 5 days and then give up), and I was wondering if cold calling is really necessary to land my first few clients. I'm getting good...

    January 8 2023: Set up a new cold email 5-day email campaign with a personalized 5-min audit for each response I get. Tinkered with a cold email sequence that starts with asking about the gym owner's pain point and got a 2% response rate. Going towards that direction with my new campaign...

    Update: looks like this was a guest account after all... But my point still stands. What are the people who were in this forum a decade ago but left like now?

    I was looking at some older posts in the forum and I came across a post about action faking from 2018. Took another look at the username to see if they're still around and the moment I saw 'Deleted', I came to the realization that I could very well end up as another 'Deleted' in the sea of...

    Yes hahaha I was one of those people, my image of winter was based on too many Home Alone movies. I'll probably move back but to Dubai instead, I enjoy that type of environment but not year-round so I want to travel to places like Southeast Asia and Europe when it gets too hot. Yes pretty...

    My biggest mistake was moving to Canada from Abu Dhabi as someone with Arab ancestry. I thought I would enjoy the snow and cold but it dulls everything out really quickly. Although I do enjoy the grittiness of the sunless, windy winters. Something about it puts me into grind mode, whereas...

    It Begins... It's 3 in the morning. My eyes are slightly heavy, my knees are weak, my arms are not spaghetti since I have been lifting weights for years. I've just finished a 9-hour work session of complete focus and dedication. I've never felt this serene and focused in my life. Even when I...

    Should I focus on my Gym SMMA?

    SCALING EXECUTION 
    Some good points here. I just had a long day of work today and when it comes to how I ‘feel’ I feel rather calm and serene. It seems to me that any activity that involves creation behind a computer comes easily and naturally to me, so it doesn’t really matter what I do specifically as long as I...

    Good stuff. I remember watching your video about school conditioning us with the the "learn theory -> apply theory" model not too long ago and as I walk past restaurants, coffee shops, entire government buildings, I noticed that everyone's figuring it out as they go and you just get better the...

    Interesting. I try to look out for signs of business-oriented owners (do they have a good lead magnet? how do they use their social media? is their website properly optimized for the purpose of getting more members?) when prospecting. I guess by micro gyms I didn’t mean outdated facilities but...

    I’m struggling with convincing prospects (micro gym owners) through cold emails/DMs/calls that my pay-per-lead offer (and I empathize in my outreach that they are highly qualified through my lead nurturing follow-up system) is good enough. I used to think it was because of how young I am and how...

    Hi everyone, Backstory This is my first post on the Forum. I read TMF in early 2022 when I was 19 years old (I’m now 21) in university hopping from business idea to business idea. Ever since I was 12 or 13, I’ve had this vision or goal in mind of building a business that gives me location...
