Hi all,
I've posted some of my backstory over in my introduction thread here but to give a brief synopsis, myself @Glen7337 and another friend, Jake, have been running an Instagram management service for the past two years with some moderate success. At its peak we had over 300 clients, probably something like 380ish and we we're making around €28,000/month.
The problem is its getting harder and harder to continue on with this business, as many of you can probably guess this violates MJ’s control aspect the CENTs framework. Because of this any changes Instagram make can really mess us up. With this in mind we are going to leave that company running in a maintenance mode and to be honest let it slowly die while we are creating a web development agency help to help move us forward. The idea is to work on this while slowly building up more business acumen and capital to move into more fastlane opportunities.
Myself and @Glen7337 are planning to work on the sales aspect of things going forward, with Jake handling the actual web production side of things. Eventually we'll want to try and outsource most of the production side and focus mainly on sale and working on developing the business not working in the business. That being said we've already begun with getting started, I've signed up to Foxs course and we're finished/finishing off a couple of portfollio projects.
Inspired by @Vilox cold calling thread myself and @Glen7337 have set each other a cold calling challenge to help us getting used to reaching out to people to make sales, we're going to both make 500 calls each over the course of this month. The goal of this is simply to make the call, that counts as a success for our purposes, its all about getting used to talking to prospects on the phone not about making a sale. The plan is to use this to both document our journey and to also use it as a form of accountability.
Current Month Goals
Gar - Make 500 Cold Calls (0/500 Currently)
Glen - Make 500 Cold Calls (0/500 Currently)
