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.

A couple of days back I caught some criticism for saying that free lead magnets just aren't good enough. It was the usual spiel from me. People who pay once will pay again. Low ticket offers build a more engaged list. Yada yada yada. Well, someone took umbrage with and decided to message me about how wrong I was. Which is cool. You have your opinions, I have mine. I'm not so precious that I can't hear and consider another viewpoint. It doesn't bother me because I've seen how low-ticket offers...

I'm cooking something up and I've got a question. Imagine you've got 1 month. 4 weeks. 30 days. 730 hours. In that time, you set yourself a goal to do something that will have a positive impact on your business. It could be anything from... Crafting a new offer Building a new funnel Creating an ad campaign Booking in 20 sales calls Increasing the LTV of your existing customers Writing a book to use to bring in more customers It might seem like a tall order, right? However, you've got a secret...

I've started doing this thing in the GM+ Community where I set aside a few hours every week and offer video feedback. You send few key pieces of info and a link to what you want reviewed or audited. Then, I record a personalised feedback video as a response so you've got some ideas on how I'd try to remove the problem and get growth back on track. I've just hit publish on this week's post. However, this week I'm opening it to everyone. So, if you're facing a problem you don't know how to...
