An interesting article/ Video from Kern.

He is utilizing Inbound texting as part of his Funnel. People who do not by a Product in his Funnel (in his Emails), he will then provide a real phone number to Text him for any questions. He said it has worked amazingly


It seems like he is embracing probably the most popular form of Communication in our Society right now in many ways and utilizing to add additional Profits.

Imo, this looks to be pretty savvy and something worth Testing. It adds a deeper personable touch with your Prospects and takes it to another level ....which is always a good thing

    His personal cell? Probably not. But it's still connecting with people. And that's cool.

    I wonder if there is some way to redirect these texts to software on a computer for ease of responding.

    Also, someone like kern probably has a sizeable staff to handle this. Small fries like me might not be able to fit this into my daily schedule without hiring some staff or outsourcing some how. Especially since I hate texting.

      Yes. there are tons of services/software that will let you send/receive text messages online.
      So you can do it all from your computer without having to check your cell phone all day.

      Also, what's with the limited thinking? What this person just shared with you is GOLD.

      Why are you already coming up with excuses on why you can't do it? Instead of thinking on ways you COULD implement it?

      Frank is only giving the phone # out to people who are already pre-sold, on the fence, but haven't bought yet. Simply answering 1 or 2 quick questions from them may turn them into buyers.

      So is it worth it? heck yes.

      If you sell high ticket stuff.. That means you could literally get paid $1k - $10k just for sending a quick text.

      Sell cheaper stuff? Still totally worth it. How many sales would it take for you to make $300?
      Do you think this method could help you do it?

      Great! Well $300 is roughly how much it costs to hire a full-time virtual assistant from the Philippines, and then you can just let them do it for you.


      And as far as Frank Kern goes.. I can tell you that he doesn't have a big staff. He does the majority of stuff himself.

        Iam sure he does outsource but I had the same impression. I could be wrong but one thing I learned about these Gurus is that certain things they want to have complete control over becuase nobody else can do it quite the way they can.

        These guys are entrepreneurs as well as public personalities so they get out there and do it.
        As far as Copy, Frank is so personable in much of it there is NO way anyone else could nail it

    I'm friends with Frank. We're both in a high level mastermind together. Our kids are also around the same age, so sometimes they all play together.

    Not that anyone gives a rat's ass about that, but the point is that I know what I'm talking about lol.
    I just recently had a conversation with him about this, which is why I can confidently say that he doesn't have a big staff working on his business.

    So enough with the stupid remarks (I'm looking at you Shaunybb)

    When it comes to marketing, Frank is such a perfectionist about his work that he has a really hard time letting other people do things for him. Honestly, I think he does it to a fault. He could automate a lot more and take himself out of the picture completely.. But he likes being personally involved in everything so he can have control and the final say.

    (And also because he had 1 bad experience in the past that has made him a little salty lol)

    But at the end of the day, the man has created a multi-million dollar empire, so it seems to be working out for him.

    So no, he doesn't have a big staff running his business. He has an assistant, Jeryl, that helps him with some of his day to day stuff. You don't need one. This is completely optional. But if you really want one, you can get your own VA for like $300/mo

    He creates a lot of his pages with Unbounce or LeadPages.. and if it's something that's too time consuming he just outsources that to a graphics guy. (You can find tons of graphics guys right here on Warriors For Hire section for dirt cheap.. it's no different)

    With how cool things like LeadPages and Clickfunnels are, you can create hundreds of killer landing pages yourself.. pretty quickly.

    So my whole point is don't let things get in your way. Ditch the excuses. You don't need to hire on 100 employees lol. If you want to, great. But it's not necessary.

    I run a 7 figure company, and I don't have any employees or staff. I create systems that automate a lot of stuff
    And if I need something done that I can't do..I'll just post up a small job on something like Upwork

      I admit in the past I laughed and came down hard on him. But I have listened to some of his stuff lately...and the guy is solid.

      I mean he offers Value that is ridiculous. I do not know how he does it. He must work 20 hours a day.
      I say good for him

    I think there is huge potential on Personal Messaging.

    People want to get a better feel of product/service before ordering so videos and funnels are not enough. you have to convince people, answer questions, then pitch them.

    But for a busy man like Frank, I think it is not possible so he must have assistants to do the job.

    Recently we launched a ecommerce venture and we gave WhatsApp number of our sales rep. they did 3X more sales than they would with automated. There was 0-1% abandonment rate and most importantly, we have grouped all the BUYERS list into a whatsapp group and keep upselling them. WOW its wonderful and works really good

    That's interesting.

    I generate a lot of leads and have always put in the ad copy to reply back, if there is something that they needed help with. This also helps to create better engagement, by getting users to reply to messages.

    I'm just curious if more users would favor sending a text, over replying back..Also, all my data is 3rd party, so I have wondered if replying back makes some user uncomfortable. I have thought about using a phone number and sending it all to a call center, just haven't ever gotten around to testing it.

    So is there a service that the text can go to a computer instead of a phone and you can also reply back? That would be much more convenient way to go about it. Anyway, sounds like it would be worth testing.
