Just ran an auction inside a trading discord community of about 300 members. I'm still in the dm's with some people but it looks like maybe I can tap one more sale in... Partner is happy since he hired closers -- booked 30 sales calls and couldn't close a single one. Then I run the auction and they almost can't believe how easy that was to get two peeps asking to give us their money lol. However there's some lessons learned so I can flip the coin again for the next auction Here's how it went down: I ran a pre auction poll that got a solid engagement about 40 people engaged that they'd bid at least $1. One person in the comments (the one who won the auction) Said he's ready to get it started now and placed a bid lol. So that was validation that we should run the auction. The plan was to run the auction the entire trading day. So from market open to market close. I think that was a mistake since not a lot of people were in the comments bidding until the very end which was like a span of 8 hours. Then people at the end were trying to beat each other but the bids hadn't even gotten that high... We had a total of about 20 bidders. The highest bid was $2504 We had 5 bids ofer $500 One sale tapped into a group coaching for $2500. In hindsight I think I should have not said when it was going to end. This would have probably made the biggest difference since there were still people trying to bid at the end. And given the offer so much more social proof and the sales easier on the backend. If you guys have any questions for clarity on anything specific or feedback that'd be amazing. Here's the offer for the auction: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PtWofTunMb6RxKbJpSJkyt73910ngqvAxt-dSnoovmA/edit?usp=sharing Appreciate yall!

Hey guys! Got a deal with a guy in the retirement planning niche. We're going for an auction According to his experience, their biiiiggest fear is losing their money. Running out of resources. Can you help me with the pre-auction? Specific problem: fear of running out of money before running outta life Who: retirees and close-to-retiring peeps who are actively looking for a better way to handle their money Help? :) ====== Subject: Retirees running out of money early Body: I’ve figured out the blind spots that make retirees run out of money early. The surprising part? They show up in almost every plan I review. That’s a real problem, so I want to test something new. What if I went through your savings, 401k, IRA, and Social Security setup… Found the blind spots quietly draining your nest egg, and gave you a personalized plan to fix them, so you can finally feel in control of what's ahead? No fluff. No generic advice. Just a clear, step-by-step plan in plain English. If I held an auction to create that custom plan for you... Would you bid at least $1? Please hit reply and answer with A, B, C, or D: A: I’d bid 1 dollar. No more details needed B: I’d bid 100 dollars or more C: I’d bid 1,000 dollars or more D: Count me out,

My new Giving Fun-Nel is not only getting 1 in 5 people to respond...(see pic 👇) COMPLETE STRANGERS... It's also taking people from 🧊to 🫠🔥 And getting WARM CONVOS open... That is leading to DEALS (Auction Hero) and other types of collabs. It's fun and NOT WEIRD feeling too! (BTW: this is only 72 records of a 4,000 person (and growing) database.) 👉Any interest in the Giving Fun-nel?

I'm taking over a 15K email list for a OG coach/teacher who are now only focusing on educating coaches in his methodology. The list was responsive when he was sending nurture emails 1-2 times a week, but he has not done that for the last year and a half or so. It has been cleaned up, and he has bought tech assistance to make sure the new emails are seen. I'll be selling a repurposed evergreen offer that has sold 10K+ pieces in different variations, and we're treating this as a "new branch" of his business. Meaning I got full control. The plan is to have him send out the first email saying hi, long time, this is what's happened and here's what I'm doing now. Then introduce the new branch and the mission they are invited to join, and at the same time introducing me as the trusted partner running it. I'll then be sending 3-4 nurture & pick emails a week, and a "real" campaign each 2-3 months. I'm thinking of this as kind of a newsletter handover situation, which I have not done before. @Travis Sago QUESTION: what specifically in this type of handover should I absolutely have nailed down for it to work? My checklist says: - Email 1: OG says hi, why he's been away, what's happening now, asks people to write back with anything they want to know more about, and introduces me as the person "running" this. (his signoff) - Email 2+: I introduce me.. (my signoff from here on) - I give out a few freebies very quickly and start sending out content *Maybe email 1 should be split into two emails with his signoff? The danger I see in having him send more than one email, is that they may "opt back in" to receive emails from him, and then drop off when he introduces me. So better to lay it out in the first email. Thoughts? This is a $1,5K offer and there's a $12K backend upsell for buyers who are coaches/healers.
