    You don't have to know every detail, just enough to target them properly... Facebook marketing is cool because you can type in a target market (horse riders) and then you can see alot about them. What shops they like the most, their age etc I would use Facebook Audience Insights to gather any...

    Successful AdWords guy interested in creating Lead Gen properties - a few questions though...

    You're not really wasting his time - He's going to tell you all the value and benefits, and now you know why he sells at a premium And maybe when you have the money, you'll remember the great benefits he told you about If the phonecall is just "Hey what's your price? Ok bye" then he won't...

    Every vertical I get into, I offer my services for dirt cheap so I can learn the vertical while putting little risk on the client. Then once I have a proven system, I can duplicate the system in another geographic location (same vertical) and charge monthly. As long as they're profiting...

    Dude this kid is F*cking insane lol. I'm mad that I wasted 1 hour getting sucked down his rabbit hole. I just couldn't help it, this thread is so psychologically fascinating. It was very obvious from the start that he was doing absolutely nothing. And he got pages and pages of concern and...

    Snail Mail Prospecting - The Pastel Envelope Method

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I guess you have a spreadsheet of your prospects and you hit them with emails first? Then if they don't respond, you send the direct mail piece?

    My first time mailing, I spent like $100 and got someone to sign on for $1500 first month and $1000/mo for 2 months after. So 35x money... And that's when my writing skills were crap and my offer was crap

    Every assumption to be tested?

    MARKETING 
    You should have this information before you even make your business: 1. Who do I help? 2. How do I do it? 3. How does it benefit them? 4. How do I make a profit from it? You should be able to answer these questions, more or less, before you embark on any business venture. You don't have to...

    Don't ask them if they need help - 99% of businesses will say no. Just do something for them and show them. Then they'll ask you for help... You're doing web design? Make them a web site mockup or something. Show it how it will help their business. But don't try to sell them on it. Just help...

    SEO is Search Engine Optimization - it's the result of super intensive, tedious work that may or may not yield results, and even if they do, they're kind of hard to explain to clients. Proper SEO will give you a high-ranking organic result on the top page for the search: "black pearl necklaces"...

    Qualify the shit out of your leads... you want a high quality list Know the exact subscriber you want - their name, their age, their favorite hobbies, the car they drive, what type of jobs they work, if they're cat people or dog people, what TV shows they like, etc. etc. For instance: John 23...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's a great example of "leading with value"... Instead of all your competition who use cold emails and cold calls with painfully obvious intentions of greed, you just do a deed and truly do it with the intent to help - and only then do you start a conversation. Why would a biz owner want to...

    Snail Mail Prospecting - The Pastel Envelope Method

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm copying this from another thread because I think it could help some people realize that there are OTHER ways besides cold emails... I read a bunch of threads saying how they're cold emailing and it's not working... :bored: Cold email has a super low conversion rate but it can work. But...

    If you open one door and it's the wrong door, just go open another... If cold email isn't working, either change your emails and try again, or abandon cold emails and use another prospecting strategy. You can: -attend networking events -do phonecalls -walk into local businesses -ask people if...

    A Conversation about death...

    HEALTH 
    I'm not saying that people would stop doing things. I'm just saying that fear of death probably plays a huge role in why people do what they do. Why they make the choices they make amongst all the noise. If you had infinite time here, you'd choose to spend your time differently. You might...

    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION 
    In regards to the "asking for permission", I don't like to. I like to just talk away. In regards to promises, just be realistic and don't make insane promises you can't keep. They don't want insane promises anyway - it's usually too good to be true. You might not be able to guarantee results...

    A Conversation about death...

    HEALTH 
    I posted about psychedelics last week and I still don't know the forum's stance on them, so I apologize if I'm violating any rules - I have had several moments with psychedelics where I have absolutely no fear of death at all, meaning I could have died right then and there without a single care...
