Have you got on at least one coffee date since the challenge started? (If we get 50 YESSES, I’ll share my #1 tip for successful coffee dates. It’s not investor stance, positioning, the pitch or even being the chooser.)

I just bought LeadsZen.io a few minutes ago, but here's the full story. Earlier today I was searching the shit out of catchy names with matching domains for my lead-gen agency. I came across the domain ZenLeads.io and then found out that the previous owner had let it expire 28 days ago and it was getting ready to go back on the market. Domain registrars give a 30 day grace period before the domain goes into an unretrievable redemption period where they then either let it go back on the market OR put it up for auction. Well, I spent a few hours on chat today with Namecheap, (where ZenLeads.io was registered) trying to figure out how get the domain before it went to auction or back on the market. Namecheap was seriously vague with me and kept giving me ambiguous answers. I finally decided to just catch it on the market when it became available again. Then about an hour after my chat with Namecheap I see the domain listed for sell on GoDaddy for $100,000! Pissed me right off. I knew Namecheap put it for sell right after our convo and it was me who brought it to their attention. I dug deep today and realized these domain registrars work together to auction off valuable domains that go expired. Namecheap sent it to Godaddy right after our chat and priced it at $100,000, even though Namecheap has their own auction. So I kept playing with words and I found the exact opposite position of the words was available on the open market place. LeadsZen.io Which I think honestly has a better ring to it. It sounds like Lead-Gen, but it's Lead-Zen. My market is mainly health and wellness so it fits nicely. Thought I would share. I will never do business with Namecheap again.

🔥Hot dayum! It's on. Our 1st ever Coffee Date Challenge. We'll kick off next week... BUT... Let's get the "~10 minutes of CRITICAL research" underway. 👀👀(SEE PIC attached)👀👀 You'll want to do this for every person you want to get on a coffee date with. If they aren't interesting enough to do 10 minutes of research... They proooollllly aren't good partner material for you? You will want at least ONE to start with. Ideally 10... To get on a couple of coffee dates. Ya dig? After you've done the research for at least ONE partner put DONE in the comments below. 👉HEADS UP: If nobody comes out to play... 👉👉I will shut her down. TIP: Google and social profiles are your friends. I like to start with books I've read. I've also used courses I've taken and products I've purchased. What are some partner criteria? For me... I look to partner in areas I am naturally drawn to and the potential partner has a clearly different and unique angle/philosophy/plan to remove PRESENT PAIN from people they care about. I want to help sell desperately needed MEDICINE...not nice to have, preventative VITAMINS. AFTER that... I look at economics. How many products/programs do they have? It's way harder to get deals and have great first dates with a biz that only has ONE product. It also means they probably haven't been around long. Find their program/product pages. (this is different for SAAS) Do they have one product? 3? 5? How long have they been around? (The longer the better because it means they've got more CUSTOMERS/CLIENTS.) Then I look at my income goals per partner. Let's say you want every partner to bring in at least $10k per month... Now work backwards. If they have a $5,000 program and you get 30%... That's $1500 per sale. Now look at their audience size (roughly) and flow... Will it support that? If they say they've sold 3,000 programs in the last 3 years... Then we've got a starting pool of 3000 customers...and they are doing roughly 100 sales per month.

I've got a prospect somewhat interested. I'm curious how I should follow-up from here? He hosts a $30k high level program and also has a $5k online coaching package both geared towards men. Here is a screenshot of our convo so far. @Travis Sago

Here's how I got on the coffee date ==> Super EZ BTW: He did NOT know me. He'd just discovered me days earlier. I sent a T1 and he responded. (Any Ronin can do this. If you don't have your own list, there are dozens of job, JV, and other types of groups where you can post offers...OR pay a group owner $50 or $100 for a "sponsored" post. If these groups were bars, We'd be the hottest girls! There is opportunity everywhere right now.) Here's a breakdown of the coffee date. (It was a fun one too.) 👉Was this helpful? or do ya think I'm holding back the "chloroform" of magic werds?
