So I've got almost 14,000 members in this free Skool community. Won the Skool Games three times. And built the entire thing with the idea that: Generosity is my growth strategy And I'm about to say something that makes me sound like a guy who just discovered fire lol. Here goes: Free is wonderful ... and I was asking it to do a job it was never built for. Let me explain. For years my model was the one everybody runs. Free group. Post daily. Go live. Nurture everybody. Be helpful. Eventually a few of the warm ones book a call and some of those say yes. And it WORKED. (I'm not knocking it. I still have the group. I still love the group.) But here's the thing. A free community is amazing at a few things: 1. Getting people in the door. 2. Letting them hang out and get to know you. 3. Building trust over time. 4. Simple path for all your free resources Know what it's NOT built for? Deciding and activating. Nobody walks into a free group and decides anything. They lurk. They like a post. They "save it for later." (Later never comes. Classic.) So you end up doing what I did ... using sales calls as the decision mechanism. But you end up on calls mostly with lovely people who were never going to buy. And meanwhile you're posting every day for thousands of folks just to book a couple calls with lookie loos. Anyway - About 5 months ago I tried something that felt weird at first. I kept the free group exactly where it was ... And added a low ticket workshop community. Low ticket. one time payments. Workshop Every week. Real work happening live. People pay a little to be in the room. That's it. Here's what happened: The people who paid showed up. (Shocking, I know.) They showed up ready to decide. Because they'd already decided something small when they paid. The one time payment paid for the ads. So traffic stopped being a thing I was scared of and became a thing I could predict. And the workshop is where I make my weekly offers.

A few reflections after my biggest month in business ever. ** Spoiler alert... I cry at the end.

Maybe this is you...? Chat-Based Sales Rep (Remote, Part-Time to Full-Time) Are you the type of person who loves a good conversation? Do you actually enjoy following up with people? Are you the friend everyone comes to when they're stuck making a decision? Do you have experience selling high ticket services or products? If yes, read on. Here's what we do. We help experienced coaches and consultants get out of the grind and build simple, profitable online businesses.. Most of our clients are smart, experts at their craft and feeling burnt out. Your job is to help them see a simpler path and help them decide if we're the right fit. That's it. We sell almost entirely by chat. No cold calling. No pressure tactics. No bro-sales energy. Our whole philosophy is that sales is service: listen deeply, care genuinely, and only invite people in when it's actually right for them. If that sounds like a breath of fresh air, keep reading. You'd make a great fit for this role if... You're good at: - Building real rapport over DM and text (Instagram, Skool, email) - Asking great questions and listening more than you talk - Following up consistently without being annoying - Staying organized across a lot of open conversations - Taking coaching and applying it fast Extra awesome if... - You've sold coaching, consulting, or another high-ticket offer before - You've done any chat-based or DM sales - You're comfortable hopping on the occasional Zoom call when a lead wants one - You're a little bit woo and a little bit business (you'd fit right in) - You want to build a career here, not just a side gig What you'll do - Respond to inbound leads in our Skool community and Instagram DMs - Run chat conversations from "hey, saw your post" to "I'm in" - Follow up with warm leads and past conversations (this is where most of the money is) - Take sales calls when a lead prefers to talk it through live - Keep our CRM clean and pipelines updated - Join a short weekly sales huddle where we review conversations and sharpen your skills together

I first found @Dan Harrison through the Skool network last week. Since then, I have been diving deep into the free learning material and the YouTube videos he shares. Truly exceptional value and I can highly recommend everyone to check out all of the content he creates. I have been running live workshops myself in the past and I am really curious to learn more about how he does it.
