Sad fact about growth


Everyone loves a rags-to-riches story.

So much so, they're commonplace in people's marketing.

  • "How I went from a broke, down and out loser to a bajillionaire"
  • "I lost everything but made it all back within a week doing this..."
  • "The system that helped me move out of my parent's basement into a penthouse within a year"

We love these because they make the idea of growth seem possible.

Often, they make it seem EASY.

That all you need to succeed is a little grit and everything will fall into place.

The truth is a little different.

Sadly, the business that wins is usually the one that can afford to invest more into attracting customers.

Here's what I mean.

Picture two companies.

Company 1's customers have an average order value of $100.

Company 2's customers have an AoV of $200.

Company 2 can afford to invest twice as much into acquiring a customer than company 1.

Which means they'll be...

  • Seen by more people
  • Remembered by more people
  • Attracting more leads and closing more deals

Company 2 will win because they can afford to invest more.

This is obviously a simplistic explanation, but you get the point.

You also have to consider things like the payback period and LTV of those customers.

But the point stands.

Generally speaking, the companies that can afford to spend the most on marketing win.

One of the key points I'll be covering in tomorrow's Webinar is the system we use to...

  1. Make more than you spend on the initial acquisition cost
  2. Make that payback period super short so you can afford to spend more consistently
  3. Attract high-intent users every day to your business so you can continue to grow

I'll also be explaining why this is NOT the place to start your marketing efforts though.

And I'll be highlighting where you should first turn your attention to make sure that the LTV of these customers is higher.

More on that another time though.

See you tomorrow.

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...
