    Who do we like for sales advice?

    QUESTION 
    Books by Jeb Blount. Oh, those are good ones. Fanatical Prospecting. Sales EQ. Objections. All of them are great source of sales material.

    MARKETING 
    Here's the thing: it makes sense for B2B. But b2c? Although, come to think about it, mailing on B2B emails still makes sense. It's all people with houses and kitchens anyway. About reddit - I've done that thing in the past(800+ messages sent) and as far as I see, it's a good tool to talk to...

    Does anyone have experience with copywriting, brand advisor-ing, or general marketing consulting? (discussion thread)

    Start reaching out to the potential market before learning anything. Sure, besides of this business it's a great skill to know copy, but go market first. You have an idea for [Y] buyers go solve them [X]? Reach out to Y. Look at this post of mine. Find the first client to serve - wherever you...

    MARKETING 
    Sup. After doing cold calls for my web design business, I have realized that the best way to test demand is to go and offer your product to buyers. Which brought me to the point, that I've started calling by the book. Asking @Johnny boy how he sent out so many voice messages, I've went to...

    Hey, @ZCP and @EngineerThis too, this is an opportunity for you both. A couple of months prior I've tried to take industrial design courses and engineering on Udemy but there is nothing. Zilch. I know it can't just be learned in a course, but an intro course for 5-20 hours that explains...

    Is this strategy entirely wrong?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Sup, So I've recently noticed a simple pattern in all of my decision-making, "abhor everything bad until you reach perfect and maybe you'll reach success" This is how I approach everything. I abhor bad strategy until I look up or create the right one (very rarely create something myself), and...

    WHO do I cold call?

    Apologies, didn't mention - websites. Basically, I am selling leadgen to electricians. I am not sure anymore whether they need leadgen, but I am testing the market.

    WHO do I cold call?

    Shit, impressive. One takeaway I had from this: you can become a sales magician. And he seemed to gained so much blunts and knowledge that he, well, became a sales magician. Thanks!

    WHO do I cold call?

    MARKETING 
    Sup, I’ve started cold calling as per advice outlined in the “Fanatical Prospecting” book recently (good read). So calls were made, and while most were auto-voicemail some were appointment setters (girls on the phone). It begs the question: WHO do I cold call? What is the problem? I keep...

    Working out of the Script

    EXECUTION 
    Let's paint a picture: You are in a 4*6 room with 3 beds; 2 other people are basically strangers to you. Both others are video-game junkies and overall show no prospect of growth. You also share a kitchen with 16 other people, and you have no place to work other than this room or this...

    How do I assess market demand volume to start an API Web3 service for other businesses and startups?

    QUESTION 
    Exactly what you are looking for is The Right It book. But to stop you before you do even that: which problems does your business solve? Is the relative value high enough to justify change?

    What kind of business are you doing? Followup should be effective... Okay, so today I will sit down, and create simple mail merge mockups from what you've posted and just excel sheet all the images and text into it for speed. Then send to about 30-50 people with GMass and maybe, I will get one...

    Why are sales letters selling only 1-4%?

    MARKETING 
    Alright, I am thinking through it right now, and generally I think I need to improve 3 points in my prospecting: 1. The offer that I am sending 2. The copy (the length of it, at least. It's 2 A4 pages long) 3. The people who I am sending to and the mediums through which I am sending them to...

    Why are sales letters selling only 1-4%?

    MARKETING 
    You'd bet it's helpful Well, as detailed in my execution thread, I've written some copy and now am sending it to masses. For now my open rates are 20% and response is none. I've used a "Send me your phone number" CTA initially, but I now changed the title to "Reply so I can talk through what...
