Givers and takers

Published over 1 year ago • 2 min read

There are 2 types of leads for your biz.

Givers and takers.

Most people focus on attracting takers and wonder why they can't make a penny out of them.

If you're doing any of the below, you're attracting takers...

  • Using only free lead magnets
  • Focusing on providing as much free value as possible
  • Building long "nurture sequences" that simply tell the user more about you and your offers than actually selling them

So what's the issue with takers?

Well, they take.

Here's the thing I've found to be true across multiple offers in different industries.

People who are attracted with freebies only want freebies.

They'll ask for more freebies and take up all of your time without giving anything back.

Focusing on these people is a certain way to burn out.

And the cherry on top? Their engagement and usage of whatever you give them is non-existent.

So what's the cure?

Focus on finding the givers.

The givers are people who pay for good info.

These people not only pay for help - which keeps your biz alive - they're also...

  • More engaged
  • Better to work with
  • Use what you give them cause they've got skin in the game

... all of which leads to better results which means you get some great social proof.

They give you something back (money) so you can continue to provide good service and content to further help them.

A nice little virtuous cycle where everyone wins.

How do you find the givers?

Start selling stuff.

Then focus on offering deeper help to the people who pay.

Case in point.

I've been working with someone recently who had a strategy that attracted the takers.

Over several months, they made $0 from those takers.

We switched their products up and implemented a simple $1 Product Strategy.

Now, they're not only adding more people to their list, but also making a couple thousand dollars profit every month from the front-end products alone.

AND, those same people are buying into higher ticket items at a huge rate. They're on the track to have a really decent profit-generating system in no time.

If you wanna make more cash and actually help more people, start charging for your stuff.

It's a big win for everyone involved.

A little while back, my downspout from our roof terrace was blocked. I'd look out of the window and see the hoppers filling with water, which then spilled all over the side of the house. Obviously, not ideal, but I could easily fix this myself... or at least I thought it was. I grabbed a drain snake and got to work after an hour or so of rattling that snake around, I patted myself on the back for a job well done. Yet when the next rain came, it overflowed again. Turns out there were more...

Yo! So I'm flirting with the idea of low-ticket done-for-you services. I've seen a couple of people shift this way and I want to test it. I mean, I've got the templates, systems, and proof to make this work. I just need a handful of people (I'm thinking 3-5) to help me work out the kinks. If you're up for it, hit reply and let me know. If you want more info, here's the detail. I'm of the opinion low-ticket offers will move on from the common... Info-based courses Fill-in-the-blank templates...

Yo! Was chatting to a GM+ member on Friday and we landed on the concepts of revenue growth. Specifically what the biggest brands out there do to hit ever greater profit. I wanted to share what we discussed here with you. Mainly because there's a lack of focus on this in the real world. Most people are still focusing on things like... New client acquisition Vanity metrics of likes, shares, comments etc Revenue instead of profit All of the above can be useful, but they're not the focus - or at...
