I know Halloween is right around the corner but we gotta keep the ghosting out! @Chris Suckling shared something in his post that made me realize this is EXACTLY what's happening here and all over Skool. When you jump into conversations that are already happening, get curious, ask questions, and actually get people talking, something starts to shift.... People begin to recognize you. They remember your name and your profile. They start jumping into YOUR conversations when they see you post. Suddenly, you don't have to work so hard to get people interested in what you do. But when every interaction starts with you dropping a pitch... 😬 chances are, you're getting the online version of that polite nod. 🤷‍♀️ There's a really good lesson in Chris's post that goes way beyond sales conversations. So here's a little food for thought... Are you pitch-posting and ghosting? Or are you actually getting into the conversations? 👉 Go read Chris's post and tell me if you see the connection, too.

I got the Skool part wrong on yesterday's post. Skool runs its own payment system through Stripe (Skool's Payments FAQ), so Apple and Google aren't taking a cut of your membership. Their app store fees are real for apps that use their checkout. Skool just isn't one of them, and I connected dots that didn't connect, but it is worth knowing for other apps you may use. But a few of you mentioned referrals going missing, and that part is worth knowing about. As one of our members pointed out, Skool takes a 30% commission through Growth Boost when it brings in a paying member. So if someone finds a group through the Discovery page instead of your link, Skool gets the credit, not you. So the advice still stands: if a friend referred you, use their link instead of finding the group through Discovery. Click the link and join directly. Skool credits the last referral link you clicked, so if you click someone else's link or find the group through Discovery afterward, the credit can go to them instead. Thank you @Lisa Vanderveen for pushing on this.
