Give Me 21 Minutes and I’ll Make You Disgustingly Good at Scaling Ads — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I've generated over 10.2 billion dollars
- 0:02in sales for my clients across 1,184
- 0:05different niches and these are the eight
- 0:07marketing systems that made it all
- 0:09possible. Starting with system number
- 0:11one and it's the exact reason why your
- 0:14ad account isn't scaling right now. Most
- 0:16people ask their media buyers to ask for
- 0:19permission if they want to scale the ad
- 0:21spend. If they want to launch a new
- 0:22campaign, they typically have to get
- 0:24sign off from the business owner. And
- 0:25this might sound normal to you, but
- 0:27there is one system that you can
- 0:28implement that you get the maximum
- 0:31result out of your ad account. And it's
- 0:33to sit down with your media buyers and
- 0:35to sit down with all of your data and to
- 0:37work out some internal KPIs and some
- 0:40guard rails for them to operate within.
- 0:42The only thing that you should really be
- 0:43doing as the business owner is painting
- 0:46a very vivid picture to them of what
- 0:48success looks like. And then you should
- 0:49give them all the tools and insights and
- 0:51systems that they need to be able to
- 0:53have a look at how much stock do we have
- 0:56of everything. How busy are the sales
- 0:57team, right? What geographies are we
- 0:59trying to generate leads in? And that's
- 1:01your job. You want to create a one-page
- 1:03SOP that very clearly defines what the
- 1:06maximum is that they are allowed to
- 1:08spend on a cost per lead or the minimum
- 1:10ROAS it is that they're expected to
- 1:12achieve. And then [music] every campaign
- 1:14that is above that, it simply gets
- 1:16killed and everything that is below that
- 1:18is we start to scale up. Then you break
- 1:20up an incentive structure for these
- 1:22media buyers based on different tiers of
- 1:25them hitting in the ad account. This can
- 1:27be based on total new number of
- 1:28customers, total number of leads booked
- 1:30and what not. So it's essentially an
- 1:32amplified commission structure with the
- 1:34better that they do, the more money that
- 1:36it is that they make. So here's how you
- 1:38can apply this right now in your own
- 1:39business. I want you to create a
- 1:41one-page SOP, get very, very clear on
- 1:44what the max cost per lead or the break
- 1:47even ROAS is, create a commission
- 1:48structure for your media buyers. Don't
- 1:50be in there micromanaging them. The
- 1:52updates that you should get is basically
- 1:55very high-level, top line, this is where
- 1:57we're at. This is where KPI is. And that
- 1:59is system number one. Set up guard rails
- 2:02for your media buyers. And look, I'm not
- 2:04telling you these systems from theory. I
- 2:06literally started my business with no
- 2:08more than $50 and an old computer that
- 2:10my girlfriend bought me, and then I
- 2:12hustle and cold called 150 businesses
- 2:14every single day, got my first few
- 2:16clients, and then I poured all of that
- 2:18money into marketing. And this is what
- 2:20ultimately got me a seat as a shark on
- 2:22Shark Tank, which brings us to system
- 2:24number two. Now, after setting up system
- 2:27number one, very very quickly, you're
- 2:29going to find out there is a new
- 2:30bottleneck that arises, and it's that
- 2:32you simply do not have enough creative
- 2:35to feed to these media buyers in order
- 2:37for them to scale at the rate that they
- 2:38want to. And they're going to keep
- 2:40coming back to you and bugging you from
- 2:41new creative. Cuz what most people do is
- 2:43they find a winning ad angle, they run
- 2:46it, they basically turn off all the
- 2:47other losers, they run this one ad angle
- 2:49until it fatigues, [music] and they run
- 2:51around like headless chickens trying to
- 2:52find the next winning angle. And every
- 2:54time that you do this, you kill the
- 2:56momentum in your ad account. And as it
- 2:57stands [music] right now, creative is
- 3:00the biggest lever that you can pull in
- 3:01your business to drive more performance
- 3:03from your ad account and bringing you in
- 3:05more customers. It really is the tip of
- 3:07the spear. Like, if your media buying is
- 3:10more efficient because you've got better
- 3:11creative, everything that flows
- 3:13downstream from this becomes infinitely
- 3:15[music] more profitable. And the
- 3:17question that I get all the time is,
- 3:19"Sabri, how many ads should I have
- 3:21running in my ad account?" There isn't
- 3:23some magic number, guys. It's more so
- 3:25about setting up a system that is
- 3:27evergreen, [music] that you have
- 3:28constant high-quality creatives coming
- 3:31into the business every single day and
- 3:33every single week. So, my best creative
- 3:35right now is one of my organic YouTube
- 3:38video. I turn it into a 4x5, I chuck it
- 3:40in the ad account, and I let that puppy
- 3:42rip. So, here's how you can apply this
- 3:44specifically to your own business.
- 3:45Please, for the love of all the internet
- 3:47money, tell me, the internet daddy, that
- 3:50you are putting out organic content. If
- 3:52you are not, what I want you to do is
- 3:53look at how much that you spent on ads
- 3:56and marketing over the last 12 months,
- 3:58and I want you to take 20% of that
- 4:00budget, and I want you to invest in
- 4:02actually producing organic content. That
- 4:05could be in taking that 20% and using
- 4:07that as product that you're going to go
- 4:08out and gift influencers so that they
- 4:10can then create that content for you
- 4:12that you can then run as ads, or it can
- 4:14be in hiring a team to do organic
- 4:16content and scripting and editing and
- 4:17managing your channel and doing
- 4:19thumbnails and doing all of that good
- 4:20stuff. Whatever it is, you must invest a
- 4:22bare minimum of 20% what you spend on
- 4:25paid ads into your actual content. And
- 4:27then something for you to do right now
- 4:28is to simply go back and have a look at
- 4:31what is the top 20% of all of your
- 4:33content for the last 90 days and just
- 4:35simply move it over to ads this week and
- 4:37launch it with your best performing
- 4:39headlines and body copies, and I think
- 4:41you'll be pleasantly surprised with the
- 4:42results. And that is system number two.
- 4:45Spend 20% of your budget on creative.
- 4:47But look, fresh ads will only take you
- 4:50so far. If the page that you're sending
- 4:52all of those ads to never changes, which
- 4:54brings us to system number three. Most
- 4:57people obsess over their ads manager at
- 4:59[music] their fresh ad creative, and
- 5:01that's the thing that just keeps them up
- 5:03at night is how do I get more ads to
- 5:04run? But then when it comes to their
- 5:05landing pages and their funnel, they get
- 5:07no love. Like they've been running the
- 5:09same kind of style product page or
- 5:12landing page or VSL page for months on
- 5:14end. I have a rule that I refuse to go
- 5:17to bed every night unless I have
- 5:19multiple split tests running. Think
- 5:22about it this way. You would never ever
- 5:24just have one ad running in your ads
- 5:26manager, would you? So then why would
- 5:28you simply have one version of your
- 5:30landing page [music] as this static
- 5:31thing that you're not even split
- 5:32testing? It makes zero sense, especially
- 5:35when you think about the amount of money
- 5:37that you spend on ads in sending people
- 5:40to that landing page. Like the main
- 5:42thing is to send people to the lander.
- 5:44So therefore, that's where a
- 5:45disproportionate amount of our effort
- 5:47should be put. So this is what I want
- 5:48you to do. I want you to fire up GA4 or
- 5:51look at your ads manager and basically
- 5:52have a look and see what is the page
- 5:54that is getting 80% of the traffic on
- 5:57your website. And then I want you to set
- 5:59up a split test for that page. There's
- 6:01so many things that you can split test,
- 6:03but the area that moves 80% of the
- 6:05freight on a landing page is the
- 6:06headline complex and the offer. Have a
- 6:09look at your ads and see what are the
- 6:10headlines that you've got that are
- 6:11getting the highest CTR and the lowest
- 6:13cost per lead or the highest rowas. And
- 6:15then the biggest hack to do is to simply
- 6:17take that angle and that message and
- 6:19make sure that it's congruent on the
- 6:21actual landing page. And then you run
- 6:23multiple different headlines that are
- 6:24more in line with your winning ad angle
- 6:27on the actual lander itself. Then after
- 6:29you've focused on this main page that's
- 6:31driving most of the traffic, you work
- 6:32backwards in chronological order through
- 6:35the rest of the funnel. So, you can
- 6:36think about emails, you can think about
- 6:38your one-click upsells, or you can look
- 6:40at the other existing landing pages that
- 6:42also get a decent amount of traffic.
- 6:43This is the way to get the clean signal
- 6:45of where it is that you need to focus
- 6:47on. What I want you to do right now is
- 6:49to connect your Meta Ads Library or your
- 6:52Google Ads to Kloud MCP. And I simply
- 6:55want you to ask it this question.
- 6:56[music] What is the page on my website
- 6:58or in my funnels that represent 80% of
- 7:01all the ad spend? And that is the first
- 7:03place you want to start. [music] And
- 7:04then moving forward, make it a system
- 7:07that you burn into your brain is that
- 7:09you never go to bed without a split test
- 7:12[music] live. And that is system number
- 7:14three. Never sleep without a split test.
- 7:17But look, the numbers from your ads,
- 7:18they can only tell you what's happening
- 7:20right now. And this next step is about
- 7:22how to find out exactly why it's
- 7:24happening and what it is that you need
- 7:25to change to make it perform even
- 7:28better, which brings us to system number
- 7:30four. In every single lead gen business,
- 7:32it's typically always the same.
- 7:33Marketing is saying, "Hey, I'm
- 7:35generating all these leads. What are
- 7:36these sales guys doing? How come they
- 7:37couldn't close a front door that was
- 7:39left open?" And then the sales guys are
- 7:41saying, "Man, those guys in marketing,
- 7:43they're filling my calendar with
- 7:44leads." And then when you sit down with
- 7:46the sales manager, it's very, very
- 7:48difficult for them to be able to tell
- 7:49you realistically what's happening on
- 7:51the sales floor. Like, what's happening
- 7:52on every single conversation. There's
- 7:54only so many sales calls that your sales
- 7:56manager can listen to. However,
- 7:58understanding the sentiment in the
- 7:59marketplace and being able to know
- 8:01exactly what's being said on the front
- 8:03lines of your business, what leads are
- 8:05saying, what the sentiment of the market
- 8:07is, this is literally the most powerful
- 8:10intel that you can ever get in
- 8:11marketing. However, it's been very
- 8:13difficult to get up until now. Because
- 8:15now you can have AI listen to every
- 8:18single transcript of every single call
- 8:21and literally write a report and tell
- 8:23you exactly what's going on in your
- 8:25marketplace. The way that I've been
- 8:26doing this in my business is that there
- 8:28is a connector called Zoom Revenue
- 8:30Accelerator. We do all the calls in my
- 8:32business on Zoom. Whatever it is that
- 8:34you make your calls on, the chances are
- 8:36there is some kind of connector that you
- 8:38can hook up directly to Claus MCP to do
- 8:41the same. And then I hook it all up. It
- 8:44will go in there, pull live transcripts
- 8:46from all of the calls. And then what I
- 8:48do is I give it my sales script, I give
- 8:50it all the objection handling, and I
- 8:51say, "Okay, cool. I want you to develop
- 8:54me a sales dashboard. You are a leading
- 8:56sales manager and I want to know all the
- 8:58most important metrics. I want to know
- 9:00dials, talk times, talk ratio of the rep
- 9:04versus the prospect. These are the
- 9:05objection handling. I want you to make
- 9:07sure that everybody's using these
- 9:09objection handling in the right way."
- 9:11And you feed it all of this data. Then
- 9:13it will spit you out an artifact or a
- 9:15report or a dashboard or however you
- 9:17want to consume the information, and it
- 9:18is unbelievable how insightful this is.
- 9:21And then when you sit down to write ads
- 9:24or you want to know what's going on in
- 9:25your business, what's going on in the
- 9:26front lines of capitalism, right on the
- 9:28sales floor, you have all of that data
- 9:31at your fingertips. And then you have it
- 9:32run this report at the start of every
- 9:35single month. And this is a system that
- 9:36sends you a report every month with
- 9:38exactly what's happening on the sales
- 9:40floor. So, what I want you to do right
- 9:42now is go into your Clod account, click
- 9:44on the settings, go into connectors,
- 9:46find the connector, hook it up to your
- 9:48MCP, and run your first sales report
- 9:51right [music] now. The same thing can be
- 9:53done if you look at your customer
- 9:54support emails. Just feed it all through
- 9:56in here. You'll find the most common
- 9:58objections that aren't handled on your
- 10:00landing pages, on your sales pages,
- 10:02throughout your website and your
- 10:03funnels, and just make sure that those
- 10:05key questions and FAQs are handled on
- 10:07the page. It will make it convert so
- 10:09much better. And that is system number
- 10:11four. Grade every sales [music] call
- 10:13using AI. But look, once you do this
- 10:16exercise, something is going to become
- 10:18very, very apparent. It will be the
- 10:20number one objection of why people don't
- 10:23whip out their credit card and buy in
- 10:25rational amounts, which brings us to
- 10:28system number five. In every single
- 10:30market around the world right now,
- 10:32people are becoming more and more
- 10:34skeptical. And that means as time goes
- 10:37on, the cost of traffic is going to keep
- 10:39going up and up and up cuz less people
- 10:41are going to be clicking on ads. And
- 10:42then even once they click, they're going
- 10:44to be converting at lower and lower
- 10:46conversion rates. Because there is just
- 10:48so many scams out there, there are so
- 10:50many people that have no idea what
- 10:52they're doing in business, and people
- 10:53are just becoming incredibly over
- 10:55advertised to and more and more
- 10:57skeptical. And the only antidote to this
- 10:59skepticism is proof and value. This
- 11:02system is all about creating those
- 11:04things on an evergreen autopilot system.
- 11:07And this is a system that I use. I have
- 11:09a folder on my computer, and it's
- 11:11literally called proof. And every single
- 11:13nice comment, Google review,
- 11:15testimonial, SMS, email, letter, I
- 11:17simply screenshot it, and it
- 11:19automatically goes into this proof
- 11:21folder. And I don't even need to think.
- 11:22As soon as I see it, it happens. I just
- 11:24take a screenshot, boom, straight
- 11:26[music] to the Dropbox folder. And it's
- 11:27key that you have one folder that has
- 11:29all of your testimonials, all of your
- 11:32reviews, all of your social proof,
- 11:34everything that you've got. Otherwise,
- 11:35over time, as a business owner, this
- 11:37just becomes scattered, and you end up
- 11:39losing all of this real powerful selling
- 11:42raw materials, which is the proof. Now,
- 11:43if you're running ads at any kind of
- 11:45serious scale, or you're putting out
- 11:46organic YouTube content, you're going to
- 11:48have lots of people ultimately DMing
- 11:50you, thanking you, saying how you
- 11:51changed their life. Now, instead of you
- 11:53just saying, "Thank you," or
- 11:54double-clicking it and giving a little
- 11:55heart emoji or something like that, I
- 11:57have a keyboard shortcut on my phone and
- 11:59on my Mac simply type it in, and it
- 12:01says, "Hey, thank you so much for the
- 12:02good vibes. I would love it if you could
- 12:05drop me a quick review on this link and
- 12:07also on this link." And just this one
- 12:09act has allowed me to get over 7,000
- 12:13reviews. And that proof is something
- 12:15that really helps me across all of my
- 12:17funnels and all of my activities. It
- 12:18took me less than a minute to set up,
- 12:20and I use it every single day. So, do it
- 12:22right now. My little hack is make sure
- 12:24that it seems very conversational, and
- 12:26it doesn't seem [music] like some
- 12:27pre-written AI slop. Set it up your
- 12:30phone and also on your computer. Do it
- 12:32right now, and you will thank me later.
- 12:33And that is system number five, the
- 12:35proof folder. But look, you can have all
- 12:37the proof in the world, and it's not
- 12:39going to help you if you can't sit down
- 12:41with your team [music] and all use the
- 12:42same numbers and agree on what these
- 12:45numbers actually mean, which brings us
- 12:47to system number six. Now, what happens
- 12:50when you start scaling a business and
- 12:51you have lots of different team members
- 12:53and lots of different teams is everybody
- 12:55starts looking at their [music] own
- 12:57metrics. Their success is completely
- 12:59measured off what it is that they're
- 13:01tracking. However, there's nothing for
- 13:03those numbers to feed up into. So,
- 13:05therefore, that's what this system is
- 13:07all about. So, you must sit down and
- 13:09look at what are the key KPIs for our
- 13:11business. And if you don't have
- 13:13universal metrics, that means you could
- 13:14be speaking to three different people
- 13:16that give you all three different
- 13:18answers. It's because you're not all on
- 13:20the same page. And then you're on these
- 13:21Zoom calls, and it's like literally like
- 13:2315 minutes of the meeting is you just
- 13:25trying to get on the same page with
- 13:27everybody else on what the metrics are
- 13:29that you are looking at. So, the way
- 13:31that you can avoid this is to have an
- 13:32agreed set of metrics. And if somebody
- 13:36brings up some other metric that isn't
- 13:38related to your core metric, it simply
- 13:40gets shut down for discussion in this
- 13:42forum. Otherwise, things get very, very
- 13:44messy. So, how do you actually determine
- 13:46what these look like? You want to think
- 13:47about what are the key universal metrics
- 13:49that are pretty much going to be
- 13:51upstream of us being successful. We call
- 13:53them leading indicators. Some ideas of
- 13:55what they could be is net new revenue,
- 13:57it could be retention [music] rate, it
- 13:59could be churn, whatever they are, set
- 14:01them up as a system within your business
- 14:03[music] and have them as the staple and
- 14:05the only things that can be discussed in
- 14:07meetings. And that is system number six,
- 14:10universal metrics. Okay, so now you've
- 14:12got everybody on the same page reporting
- 14:15to the same metrics, but somebody
- 14:17actually has to look at that data. And
- 14:19that person is you, which brings us to
- 14:21system number seven. Now look, I can
- 14:24confidently say that this one system has
- 14:27made me more money than anything else in
- 14:30my life. When you are a founder, the
- 14:32only way that you can move with speed is
- 14:34if you have confidence. And you can't
- 14:36have blind confidence cuz that's the
- 14:37kind of confidence that will make you go
- 14:39bankrupt. And the only way to get
- 14:41confidence is to basically have the data
- 14:44that you need, the clean data that you
- 14:46can rely on so that you can make the big
- 14:48bets in your business. And this is what
- 14:50gives you the confidence to have the
- 14:51guts to really pull down on the lever
- 14:53and scale. You can be like, "Hey, let's
- 14:55double our ad spend. Let's triple our ad
- 14:57spend." because you know those numbers
- 14:59and you know them so well. And if you're
- 15:01able to make decisions much more quickly
- 15:03than all the competition, that makes you
- 15:05a dangerous individual. But here is the
- 15:08key. This is not something that you can
- 15:11hand off. So, what you want to do is you
- 15:13want to set [music] up a two-hour block
- 15:15on your calendar every single month.
- 15:17Well, what it's for is to get down in
- 15:20the dirt [music] and intimately feel the
- 15:22numbers, to touch them, to smell them,
- 15:24to know them with your own hands. I see
- 15:26so many business owners make the mistake
- 15:28of thinking that they can just set up
- 15:30some dashboards, get their team to set
- 15:31them all up, and then when you sit down
- 15:33with the people that set them up,
- 15:34they're like, "I think it's right. I
- 15:36think it's through MCP. I think I got a
- 15:37Zapier connection." Or whatever it might
- 15:39be. No one really takes ownership of
- 15:41those numbers. So, what I like to do, I
- 15:43like to dig and find out where it's
- 15:45coming from. I like to verify those
- 15:47numbers myself. When I truly understand
- 15:50those numbers and I believe them down to
- 15:52the marrow of my bones, I act different.
- 15:54I invest greater quantities cuz I really
- 15:57know that it's true. And if we look at,
- 15:59okay, well, what are the numbers that
- 16:00you want to know? Let's start with the
- 16:01highest level possible. How much money
- 16:03am I making every month? So, what you
- 16:05want to do is basically do an export
- 16:07from whatever the accounting software
- 16:08[music] that it is that you use, whether
- 16:10it's Xero or QuickBooks or whatnot.
- 16:11Basically, export your P&L, upload it
- 16:14into Claude, and you say, "Hey, I want
- 16:16you to run me a full high-level report
- 16:18on my cash flow, my profitability, what
- 16:21are the areas or the cost centers of my
- 16:23business that I need to keep an eye on?"
- 16:24You're writing this report for upper
- 16:26management or a CEO. And the amount of
- 16:29insights that this will give you is
- 16:30incredible. And when you know exactly
- 16:32how much money that you're making, how
- 16:34that's trending year on year, month on
- 16:36month, quarter on quarter, you just get
- 16:38a whole lot of clarity around what it is
- 16:40that I need to focus on, what are the
- 16:41areas that I need to go pick, [music]
- 16:43what do I need to look at? And then you
- 16:44work your way down from that. Okay,
- 16:46well, what makes the money? Well, it's
- 16:47typically ads, generating leads,
- 16:49generating customers coming in. You
- 16:50start to have a look at what those
- 16:52numbers look like. How is your LTV
- 16:53tracking? How's your CAC tracking big
- 16:55picture? This again gives you a lot more
- 16:57confidence in where you want to go. And
- 16:59you have these numbers in a way that you
- 17:01can verify them. Thanks to AI, it's a
- 17:03lot quicker than it used to be, but you
- 17:05need to be the person that is verifying
- 17:07these things. You can't trust your
- 17:09accountant. You can't trust an any
- 17:11manager in your business to do this. You
- 17:13must do it yourself. So, here's how
- 17:15you're going to apply this into your
- 17:16business right now. I want you to go
- 17:17into your calendar and set up a
- 17:19reoccurring meeting with yourself that
- 17:21happens for 2 hours at the end of every
- 17:24month. So, then I have all of the last
- 17:2530 days worth of data. I can do all of
- 17:27that. I can pick it all apart and make
- 17:29sure that it's all true. And that is
- 17:31system number seven, X-ray vision. And
- 17:34when you do this properly, it will
- 17:35become crystal clear what the constraint
- 17:38is of your business and why you aren't
- 17:40growing at the rate that you want to,
- 17:42which brings us to the final system,
- 17:44system number eight. Pretty much if you
- 17:47sit down with any business owner and you
- 17:49ask them, "Hey, why isn't your business
- 17:51twice as big as what it is?" And they
- 17:53say, "Hey, I just need to get more
- 17:54customers." And you keep on asking a
- 17:56series of question and they will
- 17:57typically spit out something, "If we
- 17:59could just get more traffic." So, why
- 18:00don't you have more traffic? Because
- 18:02traffic is a commodity. Literally, all
- 18:04you need to do is have a credit card and
- 18:05then you can go to Google, go to Meta,
- 18:07and you can buy as much traffic as your
- 18:10little heart desires. Like literally,
- 18:12you could spend a million dollars on ads
- 18:14per day if you wanted to. And then
- 18:15typically, when I go through this back
- 18:17and forth, it comes down to I don't have
- 18:19a sales page or a funnel that converts
- 18:22traffic at a profitable enough rate in
- 18:25order to make that make sense that I
- 18:27could go out and spend a million dollars
- 18:29a month on ads. We have found the
- 18:31bottleneck. You don't know how to put
- 18:33together messaging in ads or on a funnel
- 18:35so that it would convert at such a rate
- 18:37that the numbers would make sense for
- 18:39you and that you would make more money
- 18:41than you pay these platforms to bring
- 18:43the eyeballs to your page to start with.
- 18:45And the lens that I like to look at this
- 18:47through is by asking myself the
- 18:49question, "Why aren't you spending 10
- 18:51times what you are on ads right now?"
- 18:53[music] And when you do this, it will
- 18:55highlight what the constraint is. And
- 18:57more often than not, the constraint is
- 18:59the page. You need to get the skill
- 19:01[music]
- 19:02to be able to basically have a page that
- 19:04goes out to colder traffic and you need
- 19:05to put it out to put out messaging and
- 19:07copywriting and hooks and video sales
- 19:09letter that can warm up the colder
- 19:11traffic and that it can go out to less
- 19:13problem-aware audiences that are colder
- 19:16and more abundant at violent scale and
- 19:18still [music] convert those people. So,
- 19:20if you want to know the secret of how
- 19:22you can unlock the most unfathomable
- 19:25scale in your business, the [music]
- 19:26answer, my friend, is a banging VSL. I
- 19:29don't care if you're selling products
- 19:31for under $100 or you are selling
- 19:34services from upwards of $100,000,
- 19:37the answer is still a VSL. All a VSL is
- 19:41is your best pitch recorded on a video
- 19:44and edited up to be the most consumable
- 19:47and the most compelling pitch that you
- 19:49could ever make. And then what you're
- 19:50doing is you are amplifying that by
- 19:52putting that pitch in front of as many
- 19:54[music] people as you possibly can. And
- 19:56it's very easy to write a
- 19:58high-converting video sales letter at a
- 20:00low scale of spend on somebody that's
- 20:03problem-aware, they're solution-aware,
- 20:04they know the other alternatives,
- 20:06they're in the market, they're looking
- 20:07to buy. That is the game that you play
- 20:10at a small level. The way that you
- 20:11unlock the higher levels is going out to
- 20:13people that aren't aware of the problem,
- 20:15and your VSL needs to educate them about
- 20:18the problem, and then [music] weave in
- 20:19your story and your solution and your
- 20:22mechanism. That is the only thing that's
- 20:24stopping you from being where you are
- 20:26right now to where it is that you want
- 20:28to go. So, before scaling your ads,
- 20:30always ask yourself the question, "Am I
- 20:33solving the real bottleneck? Am I
- 20:35putting an arbitrary max cost per lead
- 20:37or a minimum row as and then I know that
- 20:40every time I spend, I can't hit that."
- 20:42The reason that you can't hit that is
- 20:43not because of the ads, it's because you
- 20:45don't have a banging VSL to convert that
- 20:47traffic. And that is system number
- 20:49eight. Fix the bottleneck before you
- 20:52scale. But wait, before you go, I have a
- 20:54parting gift for you. I have put
- 20:55together this free report on the $7.8
- 20:58billion Meta Ads Playbook. This is all
