Givers and takers


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.

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...

Yo! Quick one today. Curious about the one thing you’re stuck on right now when it comes to growth? Not tactics like running an ad, but the actual problem that’s slowing things down. I’m doing a bit of free thinking this week and replying personally. If you’re clear, just reply and tell me... ... what you’re trying to scale... what’s not working... what you’ve already tried... what you want to achieve No pitch on the back end of this. This just helps me see patterns and build the right stuff....
