Created content for my website, also picked relevant keywords for ads and a generic little copy. I'm not a genius at google ads haha.Do you create content or just run ads?
Really? I thought my sales call went pretty well, he answered all my questions and was easy to talk to...I had Shiv for mine. Who did you have?It costs about $5000.
I had a call with them and I was extremely disappointed with the sales person. I actually tried to figure out a way to get out of the call ASAP - it was that bad. Not pushy - just very disinterested in selling from the get go. Even a 10 year old running a lemonade stand can sell better.

Sorry your call didn't go so well...do you have any questions about it I could help you with? Obviously there's nothing in it for me lol, but if you're interested in the model, I wouldn't mind helping a fellow fastlaner out haha.I didn't get Shiv.
All I can say is the guy didn't even bother building rapport. That's why I say a 10 year old can do better cos at least they will be like, "Sir/Ma'am, would you like to buy a glass of lemonade?" with a smile.
Hey Kal, I've been reading up on your posts and was wondering if there was a way I can contact you? I'm unsure of the rules here about outside contact, however if there is some way of contacting you please let me know! We are both in very similar situations!Sorry your call didn't go so well...do you have any questions about it I could help you with?

I think you can send me a private message in here. A few others have reached out that way.

Unfortunately there is a threshold for posts to be allowed to message you! It's mainly questions about the course you took, I don't really want to type out a massive huge paragraph in public as it will contain some personal stuff about myself!I think you can send me a private message in here.

What happened?Didn't play my cards right...
Honestly think I was just too nervous during my presentation over zoom. My mindset just wasn't right. I think I got scared since I was talking to some big guys (which i was) but they could probably feel that coming off me.What happened?

Just some personal development I have to work on.
Congratulations man, I've following your thread for a few days.closed a small deal today, but hey, don't get mad at your money right?...$500 a month. ~85% profit margin.
Niche: tree service
flat rate: proof of calls to justify price.
I saw you posted a different thread asking how to do SEO for big national companies. I'm guessing your uncertainty in your ability to rank them may have played a role.Honestly think I was just too nervous during my presentation over zoom. My mindset just wasn't right.

I literally just discovered this thread and your other one a couple days ago after researching extensively regarding this business model and Ippei's/Dan's course. So far I've been able to chat and jump on calls from people who also have taken the course and everyone has said it's been life changing. They say you learn a whole lot more than just lead gen and most people are able to craft other business ideas with the amount of support from the group. Congrats on closing this deal! Keep the updates coming!landed a 3 site deal for $1200 a month. Signing in a couple weeks.
Yeah man it really is life changing. I've been more active on these zoom meetings than I was in my college ones haha! These people are next level and the ones you really want to be around fr fr.I literally just discovered this thread and your other one a couple days ago after researching extensively regarding this business model and Ippei's/Dan's course.

Hi Kal-El1998! I actually found this forum while researching Ippei and Dan's course. I was able to talk to a couple of people who've taken it and then was blown off by another. Sounds like you've had a good experience. My two main concerns based on what I researched was the practice of buying backlinks using PBNs. No one I talked to wanted to say they are black hat techniques - I guess they are at minimum gray hat. Still, from what I understand Google strictly forbids it and can penalize your site which means it can be risky for your site and business. Does what they teach heavily rely on this strategy?Yeah man it really is life changing. I've been more active on these zoom meetings than I was in my college ones haha!

In the training they teach you how to go out and find your own backlinks, they don't preach PBN's. I've done most of the backlinking and research behind that for my sites.Hi Kal-El1998!

Also, I got mixed messages about the Facebook group. On the one hand it sounded like everyone is mostly helpful and supportive with a bit of tough love. On the other hand it also sounded like sometimes it can get abrasive and has a "bro culture" feel to it.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this please.
Hi! So I like to run my business on a "trust but F*ckin verify" approach.Thank you for sharing your experience Kal-El1998.
I was wondering how do you make sure you actually get the 15% when a deal is closed? Or rather: How do you even know a deal is closed after you just forward the lead?
Thanks and keep hustling! I am thinking about getting into LeadGen myself. I have experience in WebDev and some SEO.
Yup that was exactly what I meant (re: lambos and mansions) so good to know the group isn't just a big space to brag. I can do supportive with tough love - works well for me. Thanks for your honest response!In the training they teach you how to go out and find your own backlinks, they don't preach PBN's.

Some people use PBN's some don't. Personally I haven't seen it negatively effect anyone in the group. What you don't want to fall for is "well google says this..." because at the end of the day google just wants to scare people off. They know that we know how to rank sites (lowkey against their will). Really google just wants people to buy more google ads. Just one of their scare tactics IMO.
I'd say the description of "supportive with tough love" is an accurate description. IMO it's not got a bro culture feel to it. Idk maybe since I'm on the younger end I'm more callused to that stuff...but no one is in the group posting lambos and mansions or shit if that's what you mean. The FB group is heavily moderated and is always kept on topic.
Hope this helps!
