3 things I learned making $137k last month
Just made our best month ever at $137k cash collected in May. I spent $200K to buy almost every coaching program you can imagine from the top guys in our industry and hired about 13 closers. Out of 13 closers, only 3 were worth keeping on the team. ā Hereās what I learned: ā 1. Most of them call themselves closers after taking Coleās course or Dan Lokās course but donāt they donāt understand sales fundamentals and how to communicate without causing any friction. ā 2. Really good closers are already making good money. If theyāre broke, it means they donāt know how to sell themselves to a good company, if they canāt sell themselves, they wonāt be able to sell your offer. ā 3. Donāt remove yourself from sales until someone can match your performance. Biggest mistake I made was to remove myself too early from sales because I was tired of it. Suck it up, get better and learn to enjoy sales. It will serve you a lifetime. ā That's why I fired all my old sales team and decided to do all the setting and closing myself again. ā Not gonna lie, I'm starting to feel a maxed out as I took over 100 live demos as the founder on top of calling over 600 new leads. ā Our bottleneck right now is the appointment setting. ā My goal is to bring on an appointment setter this month to at least remove myself from that part so I can take 120-140 live demos and reach $200k/mo cash collected. ā For setters, unlike closers, I don't think they need experience to succeed fast. The main thing is looking for someone eager to learn, with a TON of drive and hunger. ā When I was 16 years old, that was me. I had dropped out of high school, with zero skills and zero income but I was disciniplined and driven. ā 7-figures seemed so far away and I could have never reached it simply because I was lacking a lot of skills. Looking back, the first skill I should have learned was appointment setting because it doesn't matter if you're good at closing if you have no calls in the first place... ā Anyways, hopefully this can inspire some of you guys in here.
