  1. 0:00Going from zero to a 100K month isn't
  2. 0:02about grinding harder, it's about
  3. 0:03following a proven blueprint. By just
  4. 0:06watching this video till the end, you'll
  5. 0:07know exactly how to get to your first
  6. 0:09100K and potentially even more. My first
  7. 0:11two businesses failed not because I
  8. 0:13didn't work hard, but because I didn't
  9. 0:15know the right steps. [music] And once I
  10. 0:17figured it out, I built and sold three
  11. 0:19multi-million dollar companies and now
  12. 0:20I've helped thousands of business owners
  13. 0:22just like you through these exact steps.
  14. 0:24[music] So today, I'm going to show you
  15. 0:26what to sell, who to sell it to, how to
  16. 0:28sell it, and more importantly what to do
  17. 0:30once you do all that. Go get a pen, go
  18. 0:32get something to write in, and write it
  19. 0:34down. So let's start with the most
  20. 0:35important part on figuring out what to
  21. 0:37sell, doing the money math. There's five
  22. 0:39ways that we can do this. First off is
  23. 0:41we can sell one person 100K. The other
  24. 0:45option is we do 10 people for 10K. Then
  25. 0:48we have the option to do 100 people for
  26. 0:501K, and then follow along, we can do
  27. 0:531,000 people for $100, or the last
  28. 0:57option, the fifth, is we can go 10,000
  29. 1:00people for $10. [music]
  30. 1:03When I look at one person at 100K, I've
  31. 1:06got concentration risk. I've got one
  32. 1:09client. It usually requires me to have a
  33. 1:11lot of skills. Then on the low end, I've
  34. 1:13got 10,000 people. It's like I only know
  35. 1:16six people. How am I supposed to get
  36. 1:1710,000 people to give me 10 bucks?
  37. 1:18That's going to be really hard. Then I
  38. 1:20look even at $100 at 1,000 people per
  39. 1:23month, that feels like a lot of work. So
  40. 1:25that's not going to work. And then I've
  41. 1:26got 10K, which seems like a lot. I don't
  42. 1:30like that one as much either. What I
  43. 1:31like is something in the middle. You
  44. 1:33want to be more than a K, less than 10K.
  45. 1:36So at minimum, start with a [music]
  46. 1:38thousand a month offer. Have something
  47. 1:41that you can charge. If you're trying to
  48. 1:43have every conversation turn into a
  49. 1:45customer, then you don't want to be
  50. 1:46spending a lot of time talking to a
  51. 1:48thousand customers. That's bad. You want
  52. 1:50to get to at least a hundred, sell them
  53. 1:52a thousand, that's how we get to 100,000
  54. 1:54a month. And look, you You do this money
  55. 1:55math with whatever your goal is. but
  56. 1:57we're trying to get to 100k a month. So
  57. 1:59now we know what our price is, but we
  58. 2:01still don't know what you're selling,
  59. 2:02which takes us into the next step,
  60. 2:04finding the product or service. We need
  61. 2:05to understand, what [music] do people
  62. 2:07actually spend money on? There's only
  63. 2:09three things. One is time. If you can
  64. 2:11help me buy back my time, I got
  65. 2:13unlimited capital. The second is money.
  66. 2:16The easiest thing to sell in the world
  67. 2:18is money. That's why people sell sales
  68. 2:19training is like the easiest thing ever.
  69. 2:21It's like, do you want to make more
  70. 2:22money? Pay me some money, make more
  71. 2:24money. Easy peasy. The third, and nobody
  72. 2:26thinks about this, is status. Think
  73. 2:28about luxury brands, associations.
  74. 2:31People will pay extra to sit at the
  75. 2:33front of a room at an event. People will
  76. 2:35drive certain cars, wear different
  77. 2:36watches to have status. Pro tip, if
  78. 2:39you're charging a thousand plus per
  79. 2:40month, then you want to sell to business
  80. 2:42owners. Usually small business owners
  81. 2:44can make decisions quickly because all
  82. 2:46three of them matter to them. So how do
  83. 2:48you figure out what is the offer, the
  84. 2:51product or service that you can wrap up
  85. 2:53to solve these problems that people are
  86. 2:55going to buy. For this, I like this
  87. 2:57framework called the Ikigai. It is a
  88. 2:59Japanese philosophy that talks about
  89. 3:02four specific things. We got to figure
  90. 3:05out what you love, because if you don't
  91. 3:08love it, you'll probably stop doing it.
  92. 3:09The second thing is, what are you good
  93. 3:11at? And for me, the question I like to
  94. 3:14ask myself is, what do people tell me
  95. 3:15I'm good at? Most of us discount our
  96. 3:18skills, our experience, the stuff that
  97. 3:19we know about. We just like, everybody
  98. 3:21knows this. No, they don't. The third
  99. 3:23is, what is the world that need? This is
  100. 3:25my world drawing. Cuz if you can figure
  101. 3:27that out, you can make a lot of money. I
  102. 3:29like to go online. I like to figure out
  103. 3:31what people are searching for. I like to
  104. 3:32see what topics are trending. And the
  105. 3:34fourth, most important, is what will
  106. 3:37they pay for? See, I know a lot of
  107. 3:38people that love to do this thing, but
  108. 3:41nobody's willing to pay for it, because
  109. 3:42it's a nice to have, not a must have.
  110. 3:44And at the middle of all these things,
  111. 3:46this is the sweet spot. This is where
  112. 3:50you find the thing you can do for the
  113. 3:53rest of your life that can literally
  114. 3:54make you millions. Now, here's a pro
  115. 3:56tip. We've talked about services
  116. 3:58business, we've talked about product
  117. 3:59businesses. The truth is, easiest thing
  118. 4:01to start is a service business, but the
  119. 4:03mistake is to do a bunch of custom work
  120. 4:05because now you're just selling your
  121. 4:06hours and there's no leverage. Stay away
  122. 4:08from that. Then you have products,
  123. 4:09things like apps, courses, software. The
  124. 4:12challenge with products is that they're
  125. 4:13very expensive. Takes a lot of time to
  126. 4:15build them. That is risky. So, what I
  127. 4:17like to do is do a service, but package
  128. 4:19it like a product. What are people
  129. 4:21willing to pay for, that they need, that
  130. 4:23I can do, and now I create a product. I
  131. 4:26create a little package of things and it
  132. 4:28has different features and I do one,
  133. 4:30two, and three every time for the
  134. 4:32customer so I can get them smiling.
  135. 4:35Because that productized service means
  136. 4:37that each one of these steps, I can make
  137. 4:39them better. And the cool part is that
  138. 4:40if you have a service that you know how
  139. 4:42to do really well and it's a productized
  140. 4:44service, over time you'll be able to
  141. 4:46turn that into a product and fund it
  142. 4:48from the money you got paid to do the
  143. 4:50work with the clients. So, when you're
  144. 4:51trying to figure out your service, look
  145. 4:53at it through the lens of the Ikigai and
  146. 4:55then figure out, does it meet these
  147. 4:57filters? If we need an example, let's
  148. 5:00build an AI voice agent that we can sell
  149. 5:03to local businesses. You can do your own
  150. 5:05thing, I'm going to use this for the
  151. 5:06rest of the example so you can see how I
  152. 5:08unpack it, create the offer, do some
  153. 5:10cold calls, and show you what I would do
  154. 5:11next once I build all of that. So, now
  155. 5:13you know what you're selling, you know
  156. 5:14how much you're charging, and you know
  157. 5:16how many clients you need. Next, we need
  158. 5:17to put it together and build an offer.
  159. 5:20And what it does it takes everything
  160. 5:21we've outlined so far and it puts
  161. 5:23everything into a single place where you
  162. 5:25can present it to a potential buyer.
  163. 5:27Now, the key is don't sell the work,
  164. 5:29sell the outcome. Don't say I do
  165. 5:31marketing for $1,000 a month, say I will
  166. 5:34get you 10 new clients a month. Features
  167. 5:36tell people what it is, but outcomes
  168. 5:37actually sell. Let's look at the offer,
  169. 5:41okay? Cuz there's two parts to this. The
  170. 5:43first part is we need to understand how
  171. 5:44to price things properly. See, most
  172. 5:46people make the mistake of not having
  173. 5:48options. What you want to sell is a
  174. 5:50$1,000 a month offer, okay? We want to
  175. 5:53sell one thing for 1K a month, but we
  176. 5:56need to have a lower tier offer that
  177. 5:58they might want that makes your life
  178. 5:59really easy, and then we have to have a
  179. 6:01higher tier offer where it looks
  180. 6:03massively expensive. So, in this
  181. 6:04situation, $1,000 a month, we're going
  182. 6:06to go to a $500 a month option, but it's
  183. 6:10do-it-yourself.
  184. 6:12It's essentially all the playbooks that
  185. 6:14you would use internally to do this for
  186. 6:16the client, but they can just do it
  187. 6:17themselves. Now, the people you're
  188. 6:18talking to, hopefully, they don't want
  189. 6:20just more information, they want to pay
  190. 6:22you to solve the problem. Then what you
  191. 6:24do is you have your high-end offer,
  192. 6:25which is 10 times the price, okay? Where
  193. 6:28you go 10K per month, but in that
  194. 6:31scenario, you do everything for them.
  195. 6:33The middle tier is where you teach it
  196. 6:34and you work with their team so that
  197. 6:36they over time, they essentially can pay
  198. 6:38you every month on retainer, but you
  199. 6:40want to have them do it, okay? You need
  200. 6:42these as decoys to get them to purchase
  201. 6:45the center, cuz what I want to do is
  202. 6:46sell a lot of these. I want to sell 100
  203. 6:49of those every month to get to my 100K,
  204. 6:52so these are just decoys. It also makes
  205. 6:54the price seem so much cheaper because
  206. 6:56it's 10 times more expensive. It makes
  207. 6:58it look like a steal. Now, how do we
  208. 7:00design the offer? What are we actually
  209. 7:01giving to the potential buyer? How do we
  210. 7:03explain it? Well, surprise, surprise,
  211. 7:06we're going to use AI.
  212. 7:08Now, what I'm going to share with you
  213. 7:09though is that there is a format for
  214. 7:11every offer that it must follow. You're
  215. 7:14going to open up the AI of choice.
  216. 7:16You're going to give it everything that
  217. 7:18we've talked about so far, okay? You've
  218. 7:20gone through the Ikigai, you understand
  219. 7:22time, money, status, just talk to it.
  220. 7:25Then you give it this prompt. I've also
  221. 7:27added it below in the description so you
  222. 7:28can make it really easy to copy and
  223. 7:30paste. Build the offer for my
  224. 7:32productized service including every
  225. 7:34element of a great offer. The outcome is
  226. 7:36what we're getting them, which is
  227. 7:38improvement in their business. The
  228. 7:39deliverable is what they're going to
  229. 7:41expect from us every week, every month.
  230. 7:43The price is what it is and I like to
  231. 7:45call these the investment. And then the
  232. 7:47risk reversal is saying, "Look, we
  233. 7:48guarantee 10 new leads a month. We
  234. 7:50guarantee one automated process is going
  235. 7:52to save you 10 hours a week." And then
  236. 7:54the urgency is telling them, "Look, I
  237. 7:55only have capacity to add five new
  238. 7:57clients every month and I've got 20
  239. 7:59calls just like this this week. Did you
  240. 8:00want to lock in your spot? All I need
  241. 8:02right now is a $1,000 deposit." It just
  242. 8:05gives them more reason to take action
  243. 8:06now instead of a "Oh, I'll get back to
  244. 8:08you" or "Let me think about it" or
  245. 8:10worse, "Hey, why don't you send this
  246. 8:11over to me in an email and I'll review
  247. 8:13it with my team." No. I'll tell you why.
  248. 8:15Cuz they're just going to take that and
  249. 8:16go shop it around on you. You did all
  250. 8:18the heavy lifting, you gave them the
  251. 8:19offer, you made this beautiful document,
  252. 8:21and then they take that and they go,
  253. 8:22"Hey team, what do you think?" They're
  254. 8:23like, "Oh, my buddy Bob does this. We
  255. 8:24should hire Bob." And they give the plan
  256. 8:26to Bob. Don't do that. Then you got to
  257. 8:28ask it to build your premium and
  258. 8:29entry-level pricing tiers. Make my core
  259. 8:31offer look like an absolute [music]
  260. 8:33steal. And finally, tell it, "Send it to
  261. 8:35me as an offer doc that I can send over
  262. 8:37chat as a link and a pitch deck for
  263. 8:39sales calls." My favorite part is ask me
  264. 8:41any question you need to get total
  265. 8:43clarity. That is a promo. That's called
  266. 8:45reverse prompting. Most people never
  267. 8:46teach you that, but that is why you are
  268. 8:48here to learn. And look, the difference
  269. 8:51between an offer doc and a pitch deck,
  270. 8:53the offer doc is copywritten words to
  271. 8:56help walk the person through the offer
  272. 8:58so that they get excited through the
  273. 9:00offer doc to buy. The pitch deck is the
  274. 9:02high-level elements and then you're
  275. 9:04going to use your words to present the
  276. 9:05pitch deck, whereas the offer doc does
  277. 9:08all the talking for you cuz it's in the
  278. 9:10document. Now, with everything you have
  279. 9:12here and what we just discussed, you now
  280. 9:14have everything you need to go to the
  281. 9:16market and start making money. And look,
  282. 9:17even if you have a business, but you
  283. 9:19want to go to like 100K or a million a
  284. 9:21month or more, this stuff still works.
  285. 9:23But if you want my full playbook,
  286. 9:25everything from my sales script to my
  287. 9:27offer templates, all of it, it's in my
  288. 9:29Sell by Chat Playbook. So, just find me
  289. 9:31on Instagram and DM me the word YouTube
  290. 9:33SBC for Sell by Chat and I'll send it
  291. 9:35right over. So, everything we've done so
  292. 9:37far covers the question, what do we
  293. 9:39sell? Now that we know that, let's move
  294. 9:41on to who do we actually sell to? Create
  295. 9:44demand. Nobody's waiting for you. You
  296. 9:47have to go and create potential leads.
  297. 9:48There's only two ways to do it. First,
  298. 9:50we got to talk about inbound. How do we
  299. 9:52get people to come to you, to reach out
  300. 9:55to you, say, "Hey, I heard about this.
  301. 9:57How do you help people?" The other one
  302. 9:59is outbound.
  303. 10:01Outbound is when you go to them. You can
  304. 10:03literally go from zero revenue using an
  305. 10:07inbound and outbound strategy to making
  306. 10:09a ton of money. And the coolest part is
  307. 10:11once you do this, you validate your
  308. 10:13offer, you start to build some momentum,
  309. 10:15and now you can start to see how this
  310. 10:16business can get to that 100K a month.
  311. 10:18Don't make the mistake I did. When I
  312. 10:20started my first company, it's called
  313. 10:21Maritime Vacation. My dad wanted a
  314. 10:23cottage listing. I knew how to code. I
  315. 10:25thought, "Okay, I'm just going to build
  316. 10:26a website for my dad." But I took it too
  317. 10:28far, and then I built a whole app, and I
  318. 10:30sat there for months coding this whole
  319. 10:32solution. I built the product. Remember
  320. 10:34I told you not to do that? And when I
  321. 10:35launched, guess what? Crickets. Now,
  322. 10:38when I launch a company, for example,
  323. 10:39when I started Flowtown, I started with
  324. 10:41a blog, and I invested in the content to
  325. 10:44build inbound. And eventually, it did
  326. 10:46over 350,000 unique visitors, driving
  327. 10:4850,000 customers for our product.
  328. 10:51Instead of sitting there and just
  329. 10:52spamming people, I actually learned how
  330. 10:54to give away my best stuff to get
  331. 10:56customers to lean in to ask me, "Hey,
  332. 10:58what else do you have?" Here's how we
  333. 10:59build both engines. The first thing is
  334. 11:01understand that getting inbound leads
  335. 11:03means that we talk about the pain in the
  336. 11:06market. And the hack is this, in your
  337. 11:08offer document that the AI put together,
  338. 11:11it talks about every deliverable. Give
  339. 11:13it all away. I want you to go through
  340. 11:15your document and look at all the things
  341. 11:17you're going to do for somebody. So, if
  342. 11:18I'm selling AI automation, they're
  343. 11:20probably frustrated about like, "What's
  344. 11:22the model?" Right? Pain number one.
  345. 11:23"What model should I use?" Pain number
  346. 11:25two could be, "How do I use this tool?"
  347. 11:27There's all these different pains, and
  348. 11:28they're in your offer doc, because
  349. 11:29that's how you get people to want to buy
  350. 11:31from you. Now, here's the key. I want
  351. 11:33you to go to AI and ask it this specific
  352. 11:35question. Give me 10 nuanced and
  353. 11:38observable problems your customer, if
  354. 11:41you're selling to HVAC companies or
  355. 11:42small businesses, has around each of
  356. 11:45these pains. And you give it all the
  357. 11:47different pains. It's essentially an
  358. 11:48infinite content glitch because what
  359. 11:50it'll do is it'll give you the specific
  360. 11:52scenarios that observable and felt by
  361. 11:56your potential customer. And then what
  362. 11:58you do is you create content around
  363. 11:59solving those problems. But you start
  364. 12:01with the hooks. If I can explain my
  365. 12:03customer's pain better than they can
  366. 12:05explain it to me, I'm the expert. What I
  367. 12:07want you to do is give away everything
  368. 12:09you know how to do, which you might be
  369. 12:11going, "Well, then if I do that, then
  370. 12:12what are they going to pay me for?" This
  371. 12:14is the cool part. What you get paid for
  372. 12:16is actually the sequence of
  373. 12:18implementation and steps that goes from
  374. 12:21zero step one, which could be just like
  375. 12:23let's audit what you're doing today, to
  376. 12:25step 100, let's automate and set this
  377. 12:27whole thing up. See, that sequence is
  378. 12:29what people pay for. But what you do in
  379. 12:31your content is you scramble it. So, you
  380. 12:33might go to pain A1, pain B2,
  381. 12:38right? And you go through all these
  382. 12:40different pain buckets so that it's your
  383. 12:42internal process, your checklist for how
  384. 12:44you actually do the productized service,
  385. 12:46but you're giving it away in your
  386. 12:47content. I do this all the time. I take
  387. 12:49my best stuff, I give it away. I just
  388. 12:51told you about my Sales by Chat
  389. 12:52Playbook. All of it's there, everything.
  390. 12:55But if you watch my videos, it's
  391. 12:56teaching people how to overcome their
  392. 12:58problems, just like this video. The
  393. 13:00information of how you do what you do
  394. 13:02should be free. Now, we go to outbound.
  395. 13:04Most people make the mistake of just
  396. 13:06starting cold calling people. I don't
  397. 13:08start there. First off, I go to your
  398. 13:11phone. If you open up your phone right
  399. 13:13now and go count how many contacts do
  400. 13:15you have in your phone? I bet it's more
  401. 13:17than you think. It might be 100, it
  402. 13:19might be 200. I know some people have
  403. 13:21done this and there's 20,000 contacts.
  404. 13:22That's 20,000 people are going to help
  405. 13:24you and in business. Then what you do,
  406. 13:26second step, is you ask past the person.
  407. 13:30If the person you're talking to is here,
  408. 13:32you ask them if they know anybody that
  409. 13:35have the problem. What's interesting is
  410. 13:37you'll ask past the person and they'll
  411. 13:39go, "Yeah, me." And you're like, "Oh,
  412. 13:42funny. Let's talk." Or better yet,
  413. 13:44they'll refer some people. They'll give
  414. 13:46you some names of folks that might need
  415. 13:48that. And then when I reach out to them,
  416. 13:50I use that person's name to say I was
  417. 13:52talking to Bob. Bob said I should reach
  418. 13:53out to you. The reason why is I do this
  419. 13:55for people just like you, is that
  420. 13:57something you have a problem with? On
  421. 13:58top of all of that, if you get stuck, go
  422. 14:00to your trusty AI and just say, "Build
  423. 14:03me a list of 100 people who need my
  424. 14:04services." Get their phone number, their
  425. 14:06email, anything you have for contact.
  426. 14:08And that's just a great backup for you
  427. 14:10to start making phone calls if you run
  428. 14:12out of contacts in your phone. And
  429. 14:13what's really cool is there's tools like
  430. 14:15Social Sweep that will analyze all of
  431. 14:17your social connections, including your
  432. 14:19emails, extract all the contacts, and
  433. 14:21put it into an address book where you
  434. 14:23can email and call that you don't even
  435. 14:24know. Imagine every email you've ever
  436. 14:26been on in the past, pulled out,
  437. 14:28enriched contact information, all just
  438. 14:31sitting there. If you want to try it,
  439. 14:32I'll leave the link in the description.
  440. 14:33Now, the key for doing this, this is the
  441. 14:36third step, is you have to build a
  442. 14:38funnel. Most people mess it up. You have
  443. 14:41to start by going outbound, you have to
  444. 14:43do your follow up, you got to do your
  445. 14:45ask, and you've got to close the deal,
  446. 14:48okay? So, make sure you create a
  447. 14:50spreadsheet or some simple tool to
  448. 14:52manage all of the outbound messages and
  449. 14:54do the follow up so that you can get on
  450. 14:56a sales call, make the offer, and get
  451. 14:58paid. But the truth is is outbound is
  452. 15:00short-term, inbound is long-term. So, if
  453. 15:02you're asking me where I'm going to
  454. 15:04start, I'm going to start here as number
  455. 15:06one, and then I'm going to continue to
  456. 15:08do two as my content game as well. I can
  457. 15:10do both in parallel cuz that's how we
  458. 15:12build a foundation to get 100k a month.
  459. 15:14So, now we've got the people we're going
  460. 15:16to be selling to. But how do we actually
  461. 15:18sell it? Number five, now we got to
  462. 15:20close the deal. The thing that stops
  463. 15:22most entrepreneurs is they won't go
  464. 15:24door-to-door, they won't send the text
  465. 15:25messages, they won't make the call. Not
  466. 15:28you. If you're here, you're ready to do
  467. 15:30this with me. There's only two ways to
  468. 15:32close the deal. We're either doing sell
  469. 15:34by chat
  470. 15:36or we're making calls. The best way to
  471. 15:38get started is actually sell by chat.
  472. 15:41I've personally made eight figures over
  473. 15:43social media chat. I have thousands of
  474. 15:46business owners that I've coached on how
  475. 15:48to do this and I'm going to give you the
  476. 15:49whole playbook so you can do it
  477. 15:51yourself. Every time somebody follows
  478. 15:53me, okay? And if you follow me, I've
  479. 15:56sent [music] this to you. I ask you a
  480. 15:58question and I go, are you here for this
  481. 16:00or this? Are you here for the content?
  482. 16:03Are you looking to help with growing
  483. 16:05your business? And the key is you want
  484. 16:07to end with the second outcome that you
  485. 16:08help people so that they go, oh, no, I'm
  486. 16:11just here for the content or actually I
  487. 16:13am, how can you help? And you just ask
  488. 16:15them questions. You make them pain
  489. 16:17aware. You then present your solution.
  490. 16:20And then eventually you give them the
  491. 16:21link to the offer doc. And the offer doc
  492. 16:24has all the details that you've created
  493. 16:26already. Then they read it and they go,
  494. 16:28yeah, I'm interested. I'm in. Cool. Then
  495. 16:31you give them the link. Use anything you
  496. 16:33want, but I use Stripe. Go set up a
  497. 16:35Stripe account. Make it super simple and
  498. 16:37watch them enter in their credit card
  499. 16:39details to pay you for that offer. And
  500. 16:42here's a pro tip. Doesn't matter if
  501. 16:44you're doing sell by chat or call, you
  502. 16:47want to bring up the objections they
  503. 16:48might have way before they ever open up.
  504. 16:51That's why they're called obstacles
  505. 16:52before they bring them up and they're
  506. 16:53objections after. So most people have
  507. 16:55objections once you give them the offer
  508. 16:57doc, you want to start bringing those up
  509. 16:59early. Hey, do you have a budget to
  510. 17:00solve this problem? They're like, no,
  511. 17:01how much is it? So we'll get into the
  512. 17:03prices. I don't know the details. But
  513. 17:05just make sure that you deal with those
  514. 17:06objections, then they're obstacles
  515. 17:08before they become a problem. On the
  516. 17:10other side, we have calls.
  517. 17:12Watch this. This is way simpler than you
  518. 17:14think. If you're selling to businesses,
  519. 17:17especially real estate agents, HVAC,
  520. 17:20lawyers, guess what? Their phone numbers
  521. 17:22are online. If you ask the AI to make a
  522. 17:23list, right? So, I'm going to call some
  523. 17:25plumbers. What I say is, first off, I
  524. 17:27got nothing to sell. This is a cold
  525. 17:29call. I'm just curious if you're having
  526. 17:31this problem and you've considered
  527. 17:32trying to find a solution for this. And
  528. 17:33if you do, this is what I do for people
  529. 17:36just like you, and we can schedule a
  530. 17:38call so I can dive deeper cuz I'm
  531. 17:39assuming you're really busy in your
  532. 17:40work. And that is where I bam, fam. I
  533. 17:42book a meeting from a meeting. My job is
  534. 17:44not to sell on a cold call. My job is to
  535. 17:46qualify, make sure that they have the
  536. 17:48problem, make sure they're leaning in,
  537. 17:50and we schedule a quick call. Once I get
  538. 17:52them to do that, then I might try to
  539. 17:53pre-qualify, I might try to pre-sell,
  540. 17:55and just give them a reason to show up
  541. 17:57for the call, and let them know if
  542. 17:58there's any reason you can't make the
  543. 17:59call, let me know. That's what I do.
  544. 18:02Ring-a-ding-ding.
  545. 18:03Put it on speaker.
  546. 18:05Hi, who may I speak to? Uh this is Dan.
  547. 18:08Uh is this uh HBC Plumbing? Yep. Yep,
  548. 18:11speaking. Yeah, and your name? Uh David.
  549. 18:13David, quick question. I was just
  550. 18:15wondering, have you been spending any
  551. 18:16time looking into using AI to answer
  552. 18:19calls just like this so that you can
  553. 18:20book appointments uh while you're
  554. 18:22actually working with clients? And look,
  555. 18:24I've got nothing to sell. I'm just
  556. 18:25wondering if that's something you're
  557. 18:25looking into.
  558. 18:27Uh no, honestly not yet. I've just been
  559. 18:29busy. Oh, crazy. Yeah, no, most people
  560. 18:31in your space aren't answering calls
  561. 18:33anymore because the AI can actually do
  562. 18:34it for them and make more money. If If I
  563. 18:37could show you how to do that, is that
  564. 18:38something you'd be interested in?
  565. 18:40Uh yeah, yeah. I like it. I like it.
  566. 18:41Fine, 15 minutes. Okay, cool. Uh do you
  567. 18:43have time tomorrow at this time uh so we
  568. 18:45can schedule in 15 minutes? I'll send
  569. 18:47you a Zoom link and we can do this over
  570. 18:48a video call so I can actually demo the
  571. 18:50software, and we'll I want to show you
  572. 18:52how to do the call in real time. So,
  573. 18:54like, I'm going to show you the AI doing
  574. 18:56the call on that call. Uh yeah, I I I
  575. 18:59can make that work. Okay, cool. So, what
  576. 19:01I'll do is I'll text you the link to
  577. 19:02confirm this, and then you can just
  578. 19:03confirm it, and then we'll get that
  579. 19:05scheduled.
  580. 19:07Easy-peasy. Just make the calls. And the
  581. 19:09whole idea of doing the calls is just
  582. 19:12don't get discouraged. Make the calls. I
  583. 19:15always say the first five are throwaway
  584. 19:17calls. Throw away. Just make the call.
  585. 19:20Nobody cares. Five people. You have a
  586. 19:22lead list. Just get them done. Right?
  587. 19:25And guess what? If they don't answer,
  588. 19:26call call them back.
  589. 19:28This this is my trick. So, if I go to
  590. 19:31voicemail, I leave a voicemail, I call
  591. 19:32them right back. Most people have their
  592. 19:34phone set up on do not disturb, but if
  593. 19:36somebody calls twice within like 3
  594. 19:38seconds, it rings through. Over time,
  595. 19:40you can make your script better. And the
  596. 19:42cool part is you give it to AI and it'll
  597. 19:43tell you exactly where you're stumbling,
  598. 19:45where you're not being clear. Truth is,
  599. 19:47every no gets you closer to a yes, and a
  600. 19:50yes gets you closer to 100k a month. If
  601. 19:53you're not willing to go through the
  602. 19:55nose, you'll never get there. My rule
  603. 19:57would be to get to 100 no's a day.
  604. 20:00Get to 100 no's a day. If you can get to
  605. 20:03that level of rejection, you're going to
  606. 20:04be rich. The key is is to get a bunch of
  607. 20:06customers to pay you before you do any
  608. 20:09spendings, spending on equipment,
  609. 20:11spending on software, spending on
  610. 20:12anything. Just get people to buy and
  611. 20:15then tell them, I can only start in 2
  612. 20:17weeks. You can get 10 customers to buy
  613. 20:19from you in a week, then you got another
  614. 20:20week to get ready to deliver. So, now
  615. 20:22you got some money flowing in. You've
  616. 20:23defined what you're selling, who you're
  617. 20:25selling to, and how to sell it. What
  618. 20:28now? Finally, build the thing. After
  619. 20:30you've done all the hardest parts of
  620. 20:32being an entrepreneur,
  621. 20:34>> [music]
  622. 20:34>> and you've done the content, you've had
  623. 20:36the chats, or you've made the calls, and
  624. 20:38you've got some customers, that is the
  625. 20:40hard part. The coolest part is if you're
  626. 20:41building software or anything that's got
  627. 20:43like a whole lot of lead time, you can
  628. 20:45just do the marketing and the calls to
  629. 20:46build a waitlist. You can say, "Look,
  630. 20:48we're just starting to call people in
  631. 20:49your area. We're trying to figure out if
  632. 20:51there's demand for what we've got. If
  633. 20:53you're interested, I can put you on the
  634. 20:54waitlist, but to do that, I need to get
  635. 20:55on a call with you." And then you get on
  636. 20:56a call with them, you show them what
  637. 20:57they have, they go, "Oh my god, that's
  638. 20:58amazing." It's like, "Oh, perfect. So,
  639. 20:59it sounds like it's something you'd be
  640. 21:00interested." "Oh, absolutely." Great.
  641. 21:02What I'm going to do is put you on the
  642. 21:03waitlist.
  643. 21:04>> [music]
  644. 21:04>> And you can build a a waitlist of 10,
  645. 21:0620, 50, 100 people. Then you have
  646. 21:08validated demand to go build. And I'm a
  647. 21:11big fan of having them pay to be on the
  648. 21:12waitlist. So like in software world, all
  649. 21:14the products I launch before I ever
  650. 21:16build it, I create a website with a
  651. 21:18waitlist. I market the waitlist, people
  652. 21:20join it. I even have the opportunity for
  653. 21:22them to pay $50 to get to top of the
  654. 21:24waitlist. That $50 is proof with their
  655. 21:27money that they have the problem and
  656. 21:29they want it solved the way I've talked
  657. 21:30about it. If I don't get paid, there's
  658. 21:32no proof. So if I can pre-sell what I'm
  659. 21:34about to build, then I have the money to
  660. 21:36actually build it. And with AI, this is
  661. 21:38the easiest [music] part. You can build
  662. 21:39a website, the waitlist, the automation,
  663. 21:42even collect the payments without even
  664. 21:43knowing how to code. But if you do
  665. 21:45everything we just talked about and then
  666. 21:46start getting sales and getting people
  667. 21:48to pay you, that's where it gets fun.
  668. 21:50Now you know the steps. Are you going to
  669. 21:53do it? Are you going to sit down and
  670. 21:54actually understand how do I design a
  671. 21:56product or service? Are you going to
  672. 21:57look at your ikigai? Are you then going
  673. 21:59to figure out does this help people with
  674. 22:00time, money, or status? And then use the
  675. 22:03AI to help you craft the offer and then
  676. 22:05start making the calls. Now I know that
  677. 22:07this sounds simple when I put together,
  678. 22:10and it is. It's just is today, right
  679. 22:12now, the time where you're actually
  680. 22:14going to do the work? Don't
  681. 22:15overcomplicate it. One clear offer, one
  682. 22:18clear conversation where you find the
  683. 22:20right person's got the pain and they
  684. 22:21want to solve the way you talk about it
  685. 22:23to get you paid, will build the momentum
  686. 22:26that you've been looking for. Most
  687. 22:28people don't even start. That's not you.
  688. 22:30So leave me a comment and let me know
  689. 22:32what's hard about this for you. I want
  690. 22:34to hear from everybody in the comments
  691. 22:35below. And remember, if you want my full
