A second set of eyes 👀

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

It's amazing what a difference a fresh set of eyes can make.

A couple of days back, a mate wanted to run through their offer with me.

They knew something was wrong, but couldn't put their finger on why it wasn't working.

We jumped on a call and within 15 minutes, we'd identified the likely cause and formulated a quick and dirty plan to overcome it.

They set off with some new info, implemented the changes, and - so far - things are looking up.

It's amazing how obvious errors you've failed to see can be easily spotted by a fresh set of eyes.

It made me wonder why I no longer offer my auditing services as an offer.

I used to audit all sorts of things from sales pages and emails to offer stacks and growth strategy.

And they always got great results.

Not because I'm a business master or anything, it;s really becuase there are easy fixes most people overlook cause they can't see the forest for the trees.

So, I decided to bring them back within the GM+ Community.

Every 2 weeks I'm putting aside a couple of hours to audit member's assets and/or srategy.

I'm planning on doing the first batch of these tomorrow.

So, if you have...

... an asset like a sales page or ads...

... a strategy you're not sure about...

... an offer you think needs refinining...

... issues with the economics of your offers...

Jump into the GM+ Community and drop what you want me to look through in the new thread there.

Tomorrow, I'll be going through responses and recording 10-30 minutes of video feedback for each one.

​You can see more details of what it's all about here.​

Speak soon,

Yesterday I mentioned "The Thread." That invisible line connecting your first ad or cold outreach to the moment a client signs a contract for the big thing. And when you're getting fewer sales for the "big thing", most founders think the solution is to simply add "more." More leads. More SDRs. More ad spend. But if your "Thread" is broken, "More" is just an expensive way to realise your system is leaking. I mean, if you've got a bucket with no bottom, throwing more water in the top isn't...

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...
