If I had to rebuild everything tomorrow, these two tools would definitely make the cut. Most of the leverage comes from tool decisions made early - especially CRM and outbound. Once those two are right, everything else compounds. When they’re wrong, teams spend months duct-taping workflows together. After testing dozens of platforms over the years, only two tools have survived every scale phase we’ve gone through. 1) CRM: GoHighLevel GoHighLevel works because it reduces surface area. Instead of juggling: • Scheduling • Forms • Funnels • Automations • Client reporting …it centralizes everything in one environment. Fewer handoffs. Fewer failures. Easier scaling across teams and clients. This is why most serious agencies eventually converge on GHL - not because it’s flashy, but because it’s stable under pressure. 2) Cold Email: Instantly Outbound lives or dies by deliverability and iteration speed. Instantly wins here because: • It’s built for multi-inbox scaling • Warmup is native, not bolted on • Personalization workflows are practical • Product velocity is miles ahead of competitors Most tools try to look innovative. Instantly actually ships. You don’t need more tools. You need fewer tools that don’t break when volume increases. That’s the difference between systems that look good in demos and systems that survive real usage. Comment “Stack” if you want to see a full list of the tools I use to run my companies.

(Steal This Cold Message That Actually Got a Reply) 95% of DMs being sent right now? 💩 They read like a Fiverr VA copy-pasted it from a 2021 YouTube tutorial. You know the ones… ❌ “Hey [First Name], I help busy founders scale to 6-figures using my proven 3-step system…” ❌ “Quick question for you... 👀” ❌ “I saw your profile and thought we might be a great fit!” If you’ve ever sent one of those, this is your intervention. Because you’re not just being ignored—you’re being categorized. 🧠 As forgettable. 🗑️ As background noise. 📉 As someone not worth replying to. 🧠 How I Flipped It, just like @Jay Feldman teaches. Instead of ignoring a guy who’d been DM'ing me like an amnesiac AI… And this guy is a fairly well established influencer with a sizable IG YT & Skool Community. I sent this: Not gonna lie --> you’ve hit me with more “Hey Ian”s & "How's Biz?" than an MLM recruiter w/ amnesia 😂 Figured I’d wait to reply until I had something worth showing. In the last 3 months 56 new customers. $72,408 in revenue. 9 churned. {SCREENSHOT PROOF} All from a similar offer and audience size to yours. Not saying you're leaving money on the table... But if you are, your weak ass DM game is probably why. ✌️☮️ Guess what happens next? 👀 He replied instantly. Then booked a call. 🧨 Why It Worked ✅ Pattern interrupt – Casual. Funny. Not trying to sell. ✅ Leads with proof – No bait. Just data. ✅ Curiosity over pitch – Hints at the gap without bragging. ✅ Reverses the dynamic – He chased me. 💥 Want to Stop Getting Ghosted? Here’s the formula: Open with a jab – playful, honest, bold Drop results – numbers > adjectives Create curiosity – no neediness, just a window Position yourself as the shortcut – without pitching Shut up and let them ask Comment “SLAP” and get the DM Masterclass that’s booked me calls with people way outside my “lane.” No more spam. No more guessing. No more sounding like someone’s virtual assistant. 🧠 You’re either pattern-interrupting…

It's Friday 6pm EST and No One's Gonna Know till Monday!! - I may or may not have hit "record" on a private, behind-the-curtain Insiders coaching call with Andrew and some of the sharpest marketers in our ecosystem. Now… technically, this kind of thing isn’t allowed. But when I realized the sheer gold that was being dropped — I knew I had to find a way to share it with you. 🤫 Here’s just a tiny taste of what we covered in the 103-minute session: ✅ How I used AI + the “One Sheet Offer” to close $30K–$60K clients consistently ✅ The ridiculous high-ticket offer strategy that landed TWO $100K deals ✅ Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and DataBlist that let you scale cold email on steroids ✅ The EXACT playbook that’s turning cold leads into booked calls (and cash) 💣 This is like getting a front-row seat to one of our $10K mastermind coaching calls — without spending a dime. Want access? 👉 Drop a 🔥 in the comments below and I’ll send you the secret link to the full recording. [Only available to the first 10 who reply. After that, it’s going back in the vault 🔐] ⚠️NOTE ADDED: After seeing the overwhelming response and hunger for knowledge in this community, I've decided to open up access to the exclusive coaching call recording for EVERYONE who drops a comment before Monday! 🎉 This is your chance to experience what really happens in the rooms where high-level client acquisition strategies are shared — in real time. So if you're serious about turning cold email into a revenue machine... 👍 Like the Post Drop that 🔥 now and I’ll slide you the goods. (Just remember… you didn’t hear it from me 😉)

Yo! Quick question before my coffee kicks in... 🤔☕️ Would y'all be interested in learning how to slide into DMs without looking like every other "guru" out there? You know, the ones who start with "Hey 👋!" 🤦‍♂️ We've got this pretty sick DM masterclass lined up with a 3x 2 Comma Club Award Winner, that was supposed to be exclusively for our paid INSIDERS. BUT...I've been reading your posts, and damn, some of you in the FREE Secrets community are on fire and CRUSHING IT! So I pitched a crazy idea to the team and our special guest coach... What if we opened up a few spots to our Secrets fam? 👀⚠️ IMPORTANT: This isn't your typical "copy-paste this magic script" BS. This ain't about: ❌ That played-out script everyone's using (you know the one...) ❌ Those cringe "Hey boss babe!" openers ❌ Some sketchy automation bot that'll get you banned ❌ Pushy sales tactics that make you feel like a used car salesman ❌ Promise-the-moon-deliver-a-rock strategies ❌ That weird guru-speak nobody actually uses IRL Instead, this is the raw, psychological stuff that: ✅ Works whether Instagram is up or down ✅ Keeps working even when the market shifts ✅ Makes you stand out (without being weird about it) ✅ Actually gets responses (imagine that! 😱) Here's the catch (because there's always a catch, right?): 1. The webinar room has limited space (tech limitations, not fake scarcity) 2. We need enough interest to justify opening it up 3. Not everyone who wants in will get in (keeping it real) If you want a seat, drop a comment below with: 1. Your biggest DM struggle right now 2. What you'd do with a consistent DM strategy 3. Why you should get one of these limited spots The most interesting responses might just get first dibs... 😉 PS: If you're currently using "Hey! Saw your profile and..." PLEASE comment below. You need this more than you know! 😂
