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

If you wanna join us, check out the details of SLO month here.

Speak soon,

This is it. Final email. Final reminder.Final chance. If you want the BFCM deal, the one where I build your funnel plan for you, this is the last window. After tonight, it’s gone and... ... the blueprint goes back up to full price... GM+ doubles in price... the bonuses disappear as offers But, if you do join by midnight tonight, here's what you get for only $47 Your first month of GM+ at 50% off - $99 / month A custom-built funnel plan (traffic, offers, pricing, upsells — the full model) -...

Let’s not dress this up. If your revenue didn’t grow this year, it wasn’t... ... the algorithm... your niche... buyer psychology magically shifting overnight.... “summer slowdown” or “Q4 fatigue”. It was your model. The game changed, and most people didn’t. Case in point for this. I know a guy whose entire business is webinars. He sells them, teaches them, built his whole identity on them. This year? His numbers tanked and he intrduced a new "$47 webinar" to validate serious buyers. I know...

So I just did a breakdown analysis for the GM+ crowd (you can join us with a special BFCM deal here). It was a funnel teardown of a chap running LinkedIn ads, and to be blunt... the approach is awful. This guy has made pretty much all of the mistakes you can make... Ads that generate curiosity but zero serious intent No clarity on what he’s actually selling An application that doesn’t explain the next steps Running the whole thing at “50 percent off”, which only attracts bargain hunters He’s...
