- 0:00Lead generation used to be pretty easy.
- 0:02You go into zoom info, Clay and Apollo,
- 0:05and you generate a thousand leads,
- 0:08and then you load it into a sales
- 0:09engagement tool.
- 0:10You spin up a multi-touch sequence,
- 0:13and boom! In came the responses.
- 0:16And the meetings used to be pretty easy,
- 0:18but today
- 0:19you get about a 1% response rate,
- 0:21which means you have to go out and email
- 0:24maybe like 50 to 100,000 people
- 0:26to get a few meetings,
- 0:28and then you've burned your brand.
- 0:29Well, that was the old way of doing it.
- 0:33So here's a big question.

- 0:44Well, in this episode,
- 0:45I'm going to walk you

- 1:25what I'm learning
- 1:26about generating leads
- 1:28and turning them into
- 1:29actual pipeline and revenues.
- 1:30So if you're new to
- 1:31this channel, welcome.

- 1:36And that bell icon.
- 1:37We'll get notified
- 1:38every single time I drop an episode,
- 1:39what they call the TK energy.
- 1:41If you're already part of this community,
- 1:42my people, welcome back.
- 1:44It's really awesome to see you over here.
- 1:45All right, so let's go right into it.
- 1:47Step number zero
- 1:48in this trifecta strategy is you likely
- 1:51have some sort of a lead list.
- 1:54This is your leads.
- 1:55And these are the good leads.
- 1:57The Glengarry leads,
- 1:58if you know what I mean.
- 1:59Now the problem is
- 2:00you can take this lead list
- 2:01and you can go cold
- 2:02email to these people.
- 2:04And I know cold email really well
- 2:05because I started one of the first sales
- 2:07engagement platforms.
- 2:08Tell them we're backed by the likes of
- 2:10and recent Horowitz,
- 2:11Jackson Square Ventures.
- 2:12We amassed 100,000
- 2:13salespeople on our platform
- 2:14and then we sold the company today.
- 2:16Fast forward to today.
- 2:17Sales engagement platforms
- 2:18aren't as effective.
- 2:19It's not the platforms fault.
- 2:20It's that inboxes are smarter
- 2:22and pretty much everyone
- 2:23is getting hit up with cold emails,
- 2:25and everyone's
- 2:25just putting it in the spam folder.
- 2:27So we need a new strategy.
- 2:28We need a new strategy
- 2:29to turn these leads into revenue.
- 2:32Step number zero
- 2:33in this trifecta strategy is
- 2:34you have leads.
- 2:35And instead of cold emailing these leads,
- 2:37what you want to do
- 2:39is turn these into a custom audience.
- 2:44So basically you
- 2:45figure out where you'll lead, spend time.
- 2:46This could be LinkedIn.
- 2:47This could be one of the meta properties.
- 2:49This could be X.
- 2:50And you upload that list
- 2:52as a customer list
- 2:53and you create an audience.
- 2:55You basically tell these properties. Hey.
- 2:57These are my ideal customers.
- 2:58I would love to run
- 2:59ads targeting these specific people.
- 3:02Once you do that, that's
- 3:03when the
- 3:03trifecta strategy comes into play.
- 3:05There's three strategies
- 3:06we run today
- 3:07across our portfolio companies.
- 3:09This is what we teach our clients
- 3:10to do on our platforms
- 3:11that is working incredibly well.
- 3:13The first strategy
- 3:14that I'm going to number these
- 3:16so that we can follow along.
- 3:19The first strategy
- 3:20that you're going to run is thought
- 3:24leader
- 3:26ads
- 3:28with lead magnet.
- 3:32So let me explain what this is.
- 3:34Basically what you're going to do
- 3:35is you're going
- 3:36to get people in your company
- 3:37to post content,
- 3:39educating your target customers
- 3:41about the problem that you solve,
- 3:43the unique transformation
- 3:45that you bring in the market
- 3:46and why they should trust you.
- 3:48And then you offer them
- 3:49an educational lead magnet.
- 3:51This will start as an organic post,
- 3:53and this could work inside of LinkedIn.
- 3:56This can work inside
- 3:57of the meta properties.
- 3:58And this can work inside of X.
- 4:00And then you take those posts
- 4:01and you don't wait around
- 4:02for the algorithm gods to promote
- 4:05you and make you go viral.
- 4:06You basically go to these
- 4:07platforms and say, hey,
- 4:09this is my custom audience.
- 4:11These are my posts.
- 4:13I want you to promote these posts
- 4:15to this custom audience.
- 4:16So they become inbound leads for me.
- 4:18So that's strategy
- 4:19number one for the trifecta.
- 4:21So once you get that going
- 4:23you basically have inbound
- 4:25leads coming in.
- 4:26And you don't just wait for that.
- 4:28The second strategy
- 4:29that you put into play is live
- 4:33paid workshops.
- 4:36And this strategy works
- 4:37well whether you are selling services
- 4:40or you're selling software or AI.
- 4:43In any one of these cases,
- 4:45we're at a stage in the market
- 4:46where people want to learn.
- 4:48And the biggest thing
- 4:49that you can do to separate out
- 4:50the tire kickers
- 4:51from the people with actual budget
- 4:53is run a paid workshop.
- 4:55What we recommend
- 4:56is you run a live workshop for $100
- 5:00and then sell the replay for $50.
- 5:03What this basically does
- 5:04is it separates out
- 5:05the people
- 5:06that are just looking for free stuff
- 5:08and are not really in the buying mindset,
- 5:10and are never going to buy
- 5:11from the people
- 5:12that are not yet ready
- 5:13to buy your solution, but has money,
- 5:15has budget, has enough of a problem
- 5:17where they'll pay
- 5:17$50 or $100
- 5:19to learn on how to solve the problem.
- 5:21So step number
- 5:22one of the trifecta is running
- 5:25these thought
- 5:25leader ads with the lead magnet.
- 5:26This gets inbound leads flowing.
- 5:28What this does is it
- 5:30takes your lead list.
- 5:31And usually you know,
- 5:31if you're
- 5:32downloading this list
- 5:33of leads from Apollo or Clay or whatever
- 5:37data provider,
- 5:38they don't know about you,
- 5:39but what this does is it
- 5:40turns it into something
- 5:41where they come to you,
- 5:43and then you offer them
- 5:44a live paid workshop to say, hey,
- 5:46you got this lead magnet.
- 5:47You clearly have this problem.
- 5:49We're running a paid workshop
- 5:50where we're going to teach you
- 5:50everything we know, from
- 5:52serving our customers
- 5:52on how to solve these problems.
- 5:54Come attend.
- 5:55And it's $100,
- 5:56which should be a rounding error
- 5:58compared to what
- 5:59your actual product costs.
- 6:00So if they are not willing to pay $100
- 6:03or even a $50 for the replay, chances are
- 6:05these people were never going
- 6:06to buy your actual solution.
- 6:07So it's a good filter.
- 6:08So these two alone,
- 6:10what this is going to do
- 6:11is basically turn people.
- 6:14That is essentially
- 6:15a static list of people
- 6:17that don't know about you
- 6:18to actually knowing about you
- 6:20coming and spending time with you
- 6:22and already spending money.
- 6:24Now, from here,
- 6:25you'll want to figure out how
- 6:27you can actually sell them
- 6:28your actual solution.
- 6:29The easy thing to do is position
- 6:31in your lead magnet
- 6:32to book a demo, or start a trial,
- 6:34or book a consulting call.
- 6:36Depending on whether you're
- 6:37selling services or software,
- 6:39you can do that right in the lead magnet.
- 6:41You can also do that
- 6:42in the paid workshop.
- 6:44They come to the paid workshop.
- 6:45You give them a ton of value,
- 6:46and at the end of it
- 6:47say, hey,
- 6:47if you would like to
- 6:49explore our actual solution
- 6:50that solves these things in an in-depth
- 6:52way, come book a call with us
- 6:53or start a trial.
- 6:55In some cases,
- 6:55you can also offer
- 6:56a free trial of your product
- 6:58as part of the paid workshop.
- 6:59Any one of these things
- 7:00can get you closer to revenue.
- 7:02This alone,
- 7:03without even going into the third
- 7:04one, gets you from a lead list of people
- 7:07who don't know you,
- 7:08and you downloaded their list,
- 7:09and so did your competitors,
- 7:11and you're trying to call email them
- 7:12to try and get their attention.
- 7:14You flipped the script and you said,
- 7:15hey, I'll just pay the platforms
- 7:17to get their attention
- 7:18and I'll give them value.
- 7:19I'll teach them
- 7:20and they'll turn into an inbound lead.
- 7:21They'll come to my workshop, and already
- 7:23I have built trust with them,
- 7:24they've spent money with me.
- 7:25Therefore,
- 7:26they're more likely to spend more money
- 7:27with Now, before I go to the third one,
- 7:29let me pause here for a second.
- 7:30This is the new playbook.
- 7:31This is how you turn
- 7:33static lead lists of people
- 7:34that have never really heard about you,
- 7:36that you've
- 7:36downloaded from the platforms,
- 7:37and you turn it into actual engagement.
- 7:40Build actual trust
- 7:41so that you can earn their business.
- 7:43This is super powerful
- 7:44because instead of trying
- 7:46to bend
- 7:46the algorithms
- 7:47to your will
- 7:49to target the right people,
- 7:50you're literally giving the algorithms.
- 7:51This is the target list of people
- 7:53that I really want
- 7:53have as customer,
- 7:54so I will pay you
- 7:55to get in front of them. Super powerful.
- 7:57If you're getting the power of this,
- 7:59can I just get a
- 8:00yes in the comments below?
- 8:02I love the comments.
- 8:02That's my love language.
- 8:03If you're getting an moment,
- 8:04if you're getting a question,
- 8:05if you have thoughts around this,
- 8:06if you've tried this
- 8:07and it's worked really
- 8:08well for you as well,
- 8:09put it on the comments below.
- 8:10It's my love language
- 8:11and I answer all questions
- 8:12that people ask,
- 8:13so I always thumb through those
- 8:14to answer those questions personally.
- 8:16If you're also getting value
- 8:17from this smash that like button.
- 8:19The common thread is my love language.
- 8:21The like button is the love language
- 8:23of the YouTube algorithm,
- 8:25I create these videos to serve
- 8:26as many marketers
- 8:27and founders out there
- 8:28that are trying to turn leads into
- 8:30real revenue.
- 8:31So smash that like button
- 8:32and put it in the comments.
- 8:33Also,
- 8:34you want to learn
- 8:35how to implement these pieces
- 8:37step by step.
- 8:38Recently I ran a live workshop.
- 8:40I ran a live inbound
- 8:42demand acquisition workshop.
- 8:44So you can get the replay to that
- 8:46and you can watch it step
- 8:47by step on demand at your own pace.
- 8:49Implement all of this.
- 8:50You don't have to go anywhere right now.
- 8:51I'll link to it in the description below.
- 8:53I'll also tell you more about it
- 8:54at the end of this episode.
- 8:55Let's go to the trifecta.
- 8:57The third one,
- 8:58the thing that makes it the trifecta.
- 8:59the third one,
- 9:00this is the powerful one, is what I call
- 9:03warm outbound.
- 9:06So instead of
- 9:07doing the default playbook
- 9:09where you're cold
- 9:09emailing these people
- 9:10and you get a 1% response rate,
- 9:12which means you have to spam
- 9:13the planet to get, you know,
- 9:14hit your number.
- 9:15You turn it into a custom audience,
- 9:17and you get offer them a lead magnet.
- 9:19You offer them a paid workshop
- 9:20and you get them to come to you.
- 9:21Well,
- 9:22the other thing you can also do is by now
- 9:23they know you.
- 9:24They know your brand.
- 9:25They know your offering.
- 9:26You've built trust with them.
- 9:27You've given them value.
- 9:28So then you can call email them.
- 9:30Except at this point
- 9:31it's not a cold email.
- 9:32It's warm, outbound
- 9:33because they know about you.
- 9:35They've looked at your emails already
- 9:36because when they became a lead,
- 9:38you emailed them.
- 9:39When you promoted your paid workshop,
- 9:41you emailed them,
- 9:42they clicked on it, they engaged with it.
- 9:44And therefore,
- 9:44by the time they see your name.
- 9:46It's no longer cold. It's warm.
- 9:49And by the time they see your name,
- 9:50you're not sending an email saying, hey,
- 9:53I'm so and so. It's so and so company.
- 9:55The thing that makes us wildly different,
- 9:56which, by the way, gets marked
- 9:58as spam really quickly
- 9:59because people can tell it's a pitch
- 10:01and so can the AI.
- 10:02Algorithms you warm up on.
- 10:03Emails are going to sound way different
- 10:05because you already know about
- 10:05you're not introducing yourself,
- 10:06which means that it won't trigger
- 10:08the spam filters.
- 10:09this is the third piece on this trifecta
- 10:12of turning leads into revenue,
- 10:15where you do warm outbound.
- 10:17All right,
- 10:17so let's recap this whole playbook
- 10:19that's working really well
- 10:19across our portfolio companies.
- 10:21It's working really well for our clients.
- 10:23You take your lead list,
- 10:25which is awesome.
- 10:25You turn into custom audiences
- 10:27on your platform of choice.
- 10:29Pick the platform
- 10:29where your ICP spends time.
- 10:31We've seen it work
- 10:32really well in Facebook.
- 10:33We've seen it work
- 10:33really well in LinkedIn,
- 10:34and the X ad platform
- 10:36is starting to get better and better
- 10:37and starting to look really promising.
- 10:38Then the first thing you do is do posts
- 10:41under your actual names,
- 10:42your actual accounts,
- 10:43not under the brand.
- 10:44And you educate these people
- 10:45and you link them to a lead magnet.
- 10:47This is super powerful.
- 10:48They work better than ever
- 10:49because 95% of your market
- 10:51is not buying right now.
- 10:52But they want to research.
- 10:53They want curated information.
- 10:55So they'll
- 10:55become a lead
- 10:56and do these lead magnets
- 10:58in a way
- 10:58where you're not telling them to comment
- 11:00because people with real budget are
- 11:02lurkers online.
- 11:03They're not trying to comment and say,
- 11:05give me the guide.
- 11:05They don't do that.
- 11:06Like people with money don't do that.
- 11:08Only the tire kickers do that.
- 11:09So link to a landing page,
- 11:11convert them to a real lead,
- 11:12then pitch them on a paid workshop
- 11:15$100 for live, $50 for the replay.
- 11:19This separates out
- 11:20the people
- 11:21that were never going to buy
- 11:22from the people that say, yeah, like $100
- 11:24like nothing.
- 11:25I will pay that to get the
- 11:27detailed information
- 11:28to see if this is a fit for me.
- 11:29Or they'll wait for the replay
- 11:30and they'll pay the $50.
- 11:31It's separates out
- 11:32the people with actual budget versus,
- 11:34quite honestly, people
- 11:35that are just going around
- 11:36with no budget and wasting your time.
- 11:38You build more trust
- 11:39both with the lead magnet
- 11:40and the paid workshop,
- 11:41and then you drive to revenues.
- 11:43And then the third thing you do
- 11:44is you do warm outbound.
- 11:45So by this time came to you.
- 11:46They're coming to your workshop.
- 11:48So then you do warm outbound
- 11:49and you say, hey,
- 11:50you grabbed a copy of our lead magnet.
- 11:52This is what we covered. What?
- 11:53It makes sense to get on a call
- 11:54and talk through your unique challenges.
- 11:56So this does two things.
- 11:58One, they already know you.
- 11:58You've built trust. It's not cold.
- 12:00You separate yourself
- 12:01from the competition.
- 12:02But more importantly,
- 12:03the spam filters don't trigger
- 12:04because it doesn't sound like a pitch.
- 12:06Because it's not.
- 12:06So it works really, really well.
- 12:08So that's the trifecta.
- 12:09That's the strategy
- 12:10that's working to turn
- 12:11leads into revenue today.
- 12:12Now, what you may not know is
- 12:14how do I structure these thought
- 12:15leader posts?
- 12:16What should my lead magnet look like?
- 12:18How do I actually do the warm outbound?
- 12:20How should I structure these workshops?
- 12:21What do they look like?
- 12:22Well, I held a live workshop recently
- 12:27on how to do this playbook,
