    EXECUTION 
    Cold Email. I got their response rates from 0-0.5% to 1.5-2% on average and regularly booked 4-5 sales calls a week. My best campaign was 4% and that booked like 5-6 calls in the first day of launch. The main takeaway was making plausible assumptions about their business and articulating your...

    EXECUTION 
    30/11 Warm Leads: 6 Clients: 1 A bit odd to revive this thread (and slightly embarrassing but i have started to learn that not many people care, thankfully), but essentially what happened was I started a new job at a startup. Wanted to try something different. Pretty good experience but didn't...

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    I actually use it for facebook ads to notify me straight away when a lead comes in. I call within 5 minutes and get conversations straight away. Before, I would check facebook ads every few hours to see if leads are in and when I call them, they're unavailable or tell me to call back next day

    okay just an update. This is taking a bit of a pause for mine because my products don't really sell well in the summer, so there's no point throwing money down the drain for facebook ads. Will re-launch near the winter period In the interim, Ive been collabing with a few other people on a...

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    CHAT - AI - 
    I have been thinking about the implication of AI on large scale companies, given that there has been a fair few layoffs due to AI. I have a suspicion that companies that do fully implement AI without thinking of succession planning will struggle to be sustainable over the longer term. An AI is...

    tbh i dont really have a monetary goal at this stage now. im just trying to master this entire funnel. i guess the non-revenue goal would be to run an established e-com brand that people like. i dont want to look that far ahead lol. just solve the problems of today for now

    latest update. getting absolutely fkn rekt by meta ads rn, where it's bombing my roas. But I have hit a process in terms of ad creation where im consistently hitting really good CTR's like 2-4% for different type of products. It's weird. I feel so close but so far from hacking this game. like...

    Latest update. Improved my shopify store product page. I've upped my prices by about 40-50%, which scares me tbh. But these better margins will allow me to build loyalty by providing excellent customer service, which is a major major pain point in the industry. My suspicion is that poor customer...

    How I Can Charge Premium Prices?

    MINDSET CHAT QUESTION 
    it might be because thats not really that attractive to customers. You need to speak in the customers term. so why should those features matter to the customer? Does it help them hit harder? Does the grip make them feel super powerful. You need to link those features and appeal to each of those...

    AI Agent creation

    - AI - 
    I think AI agents are still under-utilised massively by blue collar industries. I built a multi-ai agent that does bid responses and I am now looking to into ones that do materials cost estimating. I feel the ones that can build effectively are the ones that have done the actual process manually...

    Latest updates. Sales are still rolling in, but not scaling yet due to Tarrifs. im finding a few profitable products here and there, which are selling. So if the tarrifs situation is resolved, I can re-launch them at once at a higher scale. It's a bit of a shame that tarrifs came in now, just...
