"I was dying a little bit more each day..."
It's not that I'm against using hard-core prospecting methods like cold-calling, going door-to-door and attending networking events, because they all do work.
However, I am 100% against doing soul-crushing, mind numbing prospecting methods that make me seem desperate, spammy or annoying.
Think about it.
Which one of these scenarios would energize you, give you a realistic shot at long-term lasting success while allowing you to feel proud about your business?
Cold calling five or six hours a day, then going door-to-door to businesses and coming home to send out email blasts to hundreds of business owners?
Or...
- Running targeted ad campaign to your targeted ideal prospect on facebook and linkedin that drives leads to your automated conversion funnel.
- Placing display ads in industry publications that drive prospects to your landing page and through your automated conversion funnel.
- Having your banner ads on industry websites of your ideal prospects that drives leads to your automated conversion funnel.
And in all of those three methods, you only take incoming calls or make outgoing calls AFTER the prospect has said they want to talk to you.
By the way, did you notice that none of those three methods rely on you getting up at the crack of dawn and cold calling business owners until you're ears are numb?
If you want your soul, life and peace, the answer to which one you should want should be obvious.
Even if it takes you a few weeks of tweaking, hiring a copywriter and conversion specialist to finally get your ads generating two or three incoming leads a day, that's a fair trade off.
At least it is for me.
And yes the second choice costs money. But, you get something much greater in return.
You get a real sustainable business that gives you freedom to live life on your own terms, consistent income and self-respect.
I'd happily pay $500 or more a month all day long for those if I were you.
See, sometimes we get so focused on making money and being successful, we willingly sacrifice our soul, our families and our own health in some cases.
I refuse to do that and so should you.
You want a business that allows you to live a successful, but healthy and balanced life filled with doing the things that empower, uplift and encourage you.
Not some chaotic soul-crushing beast that destroys your marriage, takes you away from your family and turns you into a annoying pest to business owners.
So, what do you need in order to build one of the systems that I just laid out for you?
Well, there are two things.
You need the ability to write ads and you need a conversion funnel.
That's it.
There are several moving parts to the conversion funnel, but they're not complicated, but you do need to have them.
Now, go get your funnel setup,
