Activity but no sales? This is why...

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

I’ve spoken to a half-dozen people over the last month or two, all suffering from the same issue in their business.

They’re getting engagement, whether that’s:

  • Sales page views
  • People reaching out for info
  • Booked and attended sales calls

…and yet sales are flat.

There’s interest, but no payoff.

In nearly every case, the offer was solid, the leads were aligned, and they had real results to back it up.

So what’s the problem?

Trust gaps.

They were pushing high-ticket, high-threat offers before the prospect was ready.

And in all of these cases, the fix was simple:

Build trust before you pitch.

But don’t fall for the idea that trust-building needs to be some 6-month-long nurture sequence.

You can accelerate trust — if you have the right system.

One that:

  • Comes in below their risk tolerance
  • Overdelivers on value
  • Positions your core offer as the only logical next step

When you do that, sales get easier.

  • More predictable.
  • Less friction.
  • More profit.

I’ve built systems like this from scratch that helped add $20k+ MRR in under 3 months.

And if your assets are already in place? You could cut that time in half.

This is why you have to think in systems, not tactics.

If your current system is working — but not as well as it should — let’s fix that.

I’ve got a few slots open where I’m doing full breakdowns of your growth model.

We’ll figure out exactly where your trust gaps are and how to close them — fast.

Hit reply with “growth model” and I’ll send the details.

Couple of days back I was on a consult with a GM+ member. They've just finished building some new offers, but wanted help in structuring the acquisition side of the equation. In 20 minutes, I mapped out a full $1 product funnel that: Had a potential order value of over $300 Reused 80% of assets they already had Needed maybe 1 hour of work to finish Will pre-sell these same users on their primary offer They're off working to et the thing live right now. And once they've got it up and running,...

Yo! I'm fast running out of time today so this is gonna be a super quick email. In GM+, we were analysing some AI-based front-end offers we've seen in the wild that are are selling for $7-$97. Simple stuff at their core. People create a custom AI agent that handles a painful problem for the target market. Sell access to it and the user gets the outcome in under 5 mins of effort. To better understand it, I've built my own and amd building a new funnel around it. I'll be launching ads for this...

Most people don’t have a strategy. They just copy what looks cool. ... Nice ad? Copy it.... Decent headline? Swipe it.... Pretty funnel? Clone it. But without knowing why it works... or even if it works, you’re just guessing on a faster timeline. The smart move? Look at what’s performing, then break it down. Who’s the ad really targeting? What problem is it addressing? Where does it sit in the funnel? What’s the angle behind the copy? If you get that right, you’re not just collecting tactics....
