When I ran my Dead Group Goldmine auction, I made more money by talking to people who commented on my pre-auction post. DM'd every commenter: "Hey [Name]! Thanks for commenting on my post about the dormant group auction. Do you have a group that's been sitting dormant, or are you thinking about starting one?" When they answered, I used X-ray T2 and dug deeper. Whatever they say, your job is to dig deeper. - "Tell me more about that..." - "What else is important to you?" - Get SPECIFIC about what they want Keep them talking. It's rarely the first thing they tell you. The conversations will tell you: - What language THEY use (not your assumptions) - What they're REALLY buying (it's not "dead group revival" - it's something deeper) - What price point makes sense In my case, I discovered that I can also position my strategy for new groups with low active members, instead of just focusing on dead groups. Then everybody interested received a DM: "I'm going to run an auction where the winner gets the exact post structure, positioning, and step-by-step process I used. But before I do that, I wanted to talk to a few people like you to make sure I'm including everything that matters. If you could get your group making [their desired result] - what would be worth paying for that?" This tells you their price sensitivity WITHOUT you throwing out a number first. There were a couple super HOT people, so I DM'd them: "You know what - you seem like exactly the right person for this. The auction might go higher than makes sense for you. What if I just hooked you up directly for $[reasonable number based on their buying history]? Would that work?" Closed them even before the auction started.

If you're a Ronin with a community... I've got my fingers crossed to see ya for our 1st Happy Hour today. (Over at Community FIRE Mojo) My Guinness Extra Stout is chilling in the fridge. What's your poison? Rooting For Ya, Travis

After mudding my way through sharing about the awesome auction power and hitting a wall. (I have been posting the success/fails in group). I posted what I wrote and Travis responded. Thinking it was pointless after my botched try to use the gold from Travis, I let a bit of time pass, but yesterday I thot "I'm not giving up" so I responded to another email offer from the same influencer and wrote it off...(edited to show what I sent) I put my own spin on the opening, the rest was from the genius. I didn't mean to leave you hanging mate. Took this email to remind me about Superfun Auction Way to turn your $10 Buyers into $1000 Sales! I've Got a Superfun Way to turn your $10 Buyers into $1000 Sales! Here's My Offer: For every $10,000 I send in sales shoot over $2500 to me AFTER the money is in your bank account. I've put more deets and examples on a Loom Vid, would it make any sense to send it? A quick “yes” or no is cool. I got this response about an hour ago! Hey Michael, hope you are well mate! your sending me an offer but your only giving yourself 25% commissions! What's the catc here, you sending me 10k in SALES and i send you 2.5k once i've got it - what ar you proposing my friend haha always open to ideas! I consider this a huge win for refusing to quit taking action, but finally doing it like the Ronin dojo Master has been patiently teaching us.

Holy Crap... I think I'm starting to figure this thing out! I took Travis's outreach message, translated it, and tested the wording until I got a decent reply and positive response rate. I'm sending (intent-based) personalized emails with only one follow-up message. Now that I figured out how to get them to respond... I'm fixing the next “puzzle piece”: I'm getting ghosted after sending the Loom... started trying to get the truth on the table about why they ghost me... so I can fix the Loom next... Guys... I'm so ready for some ☕ dates...

Had a couple convos with people who voted on the pre-auction post I am seeing that the more serious folks who are interested all have 2 things in common: They are strapped for time, and they don't wanna get caught up in the tech So I am planning a 2nd post to talk more about that a large part of his audience are noobs and broke people that only showed interest because they hope they stand a chance, but I think if we talk more to the problems that the real biz owners and entrepreneurs are facing we should get some decent bids. So I know there are no rules, and I don't wanna drag this out too long - I noticed that the 2nd post you posted in the "I get you partners" auction @Travis Sago was the auction deets post So I'm gonna do just that - weave some of the language and feedback I just got into the post and then get it going shortly after. Maybe run the auction on Monday Am I missing anything?
