Push and pull


You ever see those YT vids and social posts for people trying to set up an SMMA (social media marketing agency)?

Usually young chaps claiming to pull 5 or 6-figure months through the power of mass outreach.

Their MO?

DM as many people as possible, book as many calls as possible, a hard sales push to all those people to close some deals.

They'll show an image of their calendar and it looks like some sort of multi-coloured Jenga bullshit where they don't even have 2 minutes free to grap a cuppa.

I'm not gonna hate on these guys. It's obviously working for them.

But I can't imagine anything worse than spending 9 hours per day on sales calls trying to convince someone who's ont he fence to buy.

Also, when do they have time to do the actual job for their clients?

I'm not about that life.

Pushing your offers can work, but I like pulling people who are ready to buy in.

I end up spending...

  • Less time on the phone with people who don't show up to calls...
  • Less time chasing people who are just gonna say no
  • More time with serious buyers and qualified leads
  • More time doing the thing rather than chasing people

How do you pull these people in?

Simple self-liquidating offers and targeted content.

All you do is create something that offers ~$100 of value and sell it for a fraction of that cost.

You then create content or ads that speak specifically to a problem your ICP has.

Link those two together and you've got the base of a funnel that pulls ideal buyers to you so you can sell them your big-ticket items.

Next month we're focusing on self liquidating offers in the GM+ Community.

I'm spending all month helping people set up great SLOs so they can...

  • Start identifying the serious buyers in their audience
  • Confidently invest in ads to scale their reach
  • Effortlessly upsell their high ticket items for maximum profit to people they know are serious buyers

Stumbled across a cool post from a marketer I respect this AM (Alen Sultanic). It read... You only need to get rich once, then you simply just keep getting richer. It's not something you have to become over and over again, hence why it's a worthy pursuit in life.And if you think that you can lose it all, the truth is, you can't ever lose it all because the skill that got you to make it will forever be yours, and you can do it again, so have no fear. It reminded me of something one of the best...

This was something I went through with a coaching client with a few years back. We implemented this switch and turned a generic, forgettable piece of content into something that started attracting high-intent leads from the same traffic source. Hell, I've even used this myself to craft content that brings in 5-figure deals. And it goes against a common marketing belief. The shift? Switch your copy from focusing on the customer to focusing on the creator. Here's what I mean. Most sales pages...
