Closed 2 local businesses in the last 2 weeks for $400/month + $500 - $1,000 setup fee. The big shift? I stopped using rigid sales scripts. Cold calls felt awkward because I was in sales mode instead of genuinely helping. Now, I research a business, run a quick SEO/website audit, and record a short video comparing them to competitors. My outreach is simply asking if I can send it over.. no hard selling. I just show them their potential, and if they want more, they come ready to buy. I still need more data to confirm, but so far it’s working well. I know it’s totally different method as using that lead gen AI tool but I could share details of the process if anyone’s interested. But I also agree in having a no brainer offer is the way to go. You can upsell later

Its true, when it rains, it pours.. well.. not in seattle. Alex is working on a new project hes calling Sales AIR. Using my infrastructure as the core backbone of his new product. He’s been wanting to work more closely with me and bring me in-house. I told him no. Thought I lost him there for a moment when I told him that. It took him more than a week to respond. But from the looks of it, we will meet up sunday and finally get the deal moving forward. That’ll be another six to seven figure client for my HeroPixel company. I landed Alex through my organic marketing funnel on facebook. Now that I think about it, 80% of all of my clients, including the newest franchise to buy leads have all come through my organic marketing funnel. I took HeroPixel from $0 to $100/k per month in three months with my specific organic strategy. Cold calling is cool, it just doesnt give you a chance to warm the audience like organic does. I tell you what. Im thinking about adding my organic strategy as a module in this group. But only if you care. If nobody cares.. no worries. Post a comment and like everybody elses who comments on this post as well. Ill release my strategy for those who reach level three.

Received confirmation an hour ago that my first franchise with over 100+ bath remodeler owners is coming onboard today. They'll start with a pilot of just a few clients. 5 to be exact. Each pilot will spend $5,000 per month with me, buying leads that I'm generating through https://betterhomes.today My home service brand. I generate the leads for between $3 and $20 and I sell them for $40. that's a 2x-10x return on my adspend. That means I will spend $5k and make $25k every month... Just with the pilot locations. Oh and the brand president will be paying me $2500 per month as a free fee on top. Rent is $2700, groceries for 4 little kids is hundreds per week.. truck is $1500 and credit cards are all maxed to the hilt and late more than 4 months.. Nobody said this was going to be easy... It's been hard as fuck to get these businesses off the ground. I've got nothing left in the bank account... My wife is stressed out AF. Card got denied on her at checkout when buying groceries. While I'm in the parking lot taking a meeting from my cold calls. No the only way isn't up. I could still get kicked out of this rental and my truck could get repossessed, (haven't made a payment in two months, going on three) I thought I was a fairly humble person before trying to start a "real" business, but the last 5 years has really, really humbled me. I'll charge this franchise $2,500, probably moments before facebook tries to bill me again for the ads I have been running. Thumbtack doesn't pay for net 30, so that's been a bitch.. Things could still go terribly wrong, I'm aware of that. All I can do is pray to God that he has mercy on me while I openly pursue something that is clearly not his desire for me. If all goes well, this month I will make enough to keep the lights on for another. That'll give me enough breathing room before the results come in on the close rate of the leads for this pilot. September 3rd will be my 43rd birthday. I have been trying to build a business since I was 18. Had many, lost many. I've made a lot of money, but today I have little to show for it.

I had a lot of assumptions because I didn't do the research I knew I should have done. After waking up every morning last week at 3:30AM and making calls for hours every day, I realized that I was selling something (AI receptionist and call centers) that people really didn't want... So this weekend I went back to the drawing board and did the research that needed to have been done from day one. WOW was I shocked at how badly contractors hated the very things I was investing in. AI Receptionists, call centers, pay-per-leads, pay-per-appointments, etc... It really humbled me. As my research continued I uncovered an entirely untouched opportunity. And with it I spent the weekend figuring out how to package it. This morning I hit the ground running and immediately booked 2 out of 3 calls. The second contractor said, "That's exactly what I need." I plan to charge $4,500 per month for this new service and I know I'll get it. As I've been doing this research process I've been putting it into a course that I plan to launch soon. If you're interested I might award to it to you early. let me know in the comments
