Sales are made before the sales page

Hey Reader, Building on from the last email—where we talked about removing hesitations to make buying easier—there’s another mistake that stops most people from closing high-ticket sales: They think the sales call, webinar, or VSL does all the work. If you’ve ever had people say, “I need to think about it” or “I’m not sure” at the end of a call, it’s because the real work was never done before they got there. By the time someone reaches your sales step, they should already be 90% sold.
The actual sales mechanism is just the final step. So how do you pre-sell them properly? I break it all down inside this video, showing you exactly how to get serious buyers who show up ready to say yes. This builds directly on what we covered in the last email—so if you want more high-ticket sales without endless objections, this is the next piece of the puzzle.

Yesterday I mentioned "The Thread." That invisible line connecting your first ad or cold outreach to the moment a client signs a contract for the big thing. And when you're getting fewer sales for the "big thing", most founders think the solution is to simply add "more." More leads. More SDRs. More ad spend. But if your "Thread" is broken, "More" is just an expensive way to realise your system is leaking. I mean, if you've got a bucket with no bottom, throwing more water in the top isn't...
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...
