BUSINESS STARTER PACK

*stop wasting weeks on step zero

// THREAD //
If you spend three weeks making your website look nice, outsourcing your designs and logos, and trying to set up systems...

YOU ARE MOVING BACKWARDS.

You should be focused on your business.
>> SALES
>> MARKETING
>> SERVICE FULFILLMENT

Here are the ONLY tools you need:
1. Carrd

Set up your carrd landing page that is more functional than aesthetic.
>> VSL
>> Testimonials
>> Clear offer

Spend a few hours playing around with the platform and get to work.
You can also use webflow but that's more advanced.

Website done.
2. Gsuite + Carrd

>> domain from google domains
>> $6/mo. custom email from Gsuite
>> connect domain to carrd
>> you can substitute carrd for webflow

You don't need to hire devs unless you are building a web app/service.
3. Canva

>> create logo
>> create site graphics
>> create social images
>> create icons for site

Yes it's not as good as photoshop and illustrator.

But if you have no design skills, Canva is your best friend.

Spend a few hours and you'll shock yourself.
4. Calendly

>> hook up with google cal
>> add qualifying questions
>> get link
>> get embed code
>> copy paste this code into your site
>> boom scheduling is native to your site

Appointment scheduling done.
5. Zapier

King of systems right here.

You don't need this now.

But here are some example flows
>> calendly -> SMS notification
>> FB ad lead -> SMS/email/sheets
>> new email -> email provider sequence
>> new sales -> SMS/sheets/email

It's powerful and better than your VA.
And that's it.

Get these done in a day or two.

Then work on your actual business.

If you want to use these tools effectively and learn a skill to offer so that you can start your own business from SCRATCH...

CLOSING the "I'll have to think about this" prospect.

*you will get this objection

// THREAD //
You've done your call but your prospect is hesitant and says, "I need some time to think about this."

95% of the time you'll probably respond with "sure, how much time do you need?"

And 95% of the time you will NOT get the sale.

Let's change that.
1. Affirm + Redirect

Affirm that their response is normal.

Then, go straight into asking exactly what they need more time to think about.

Without this, you'll be helpless in ANY followup.

Don't be afraid to push to get this answered.

"Awesome so what's holding you back?"

Grab your share of the $1 BILLION gaming industry, even if you hate video games.

*the gaming world is popping off right now

// AUDIO THREAD //
The eSports world is growing ridiculously fast.

Is this about you turning into a pro player and making money?

Nope.

Offer hot services to the general gaming community and get paid potentially $1000s in exchange.

Listen to this.
1. Understand the landscape

TARGET LESS PEOPLE, MAKE MORE MONEY

*this is not magic

// THREAD //
Most people don't see results in their niche because it's way too broad.

YOU NEED TO NICHE DOWN.

>> online businesses
>> restaurants
>> sports trainers
>> dentists
>> blue collar services
>> agencies

Are way too general.

Let's dive in and see how niching down makes money.
1. Better research

Narrowing your niche gets you more specific and targeted research.

>> Understand your exact audience
>> Pinpoint their exact problems
>> Learn in depth about the industry
>> Better learn your client's customers

The more you know, the better you'll sell.

Get businesses that can't afford monthly payments to still pay you $2500.

This is how I closed three $2500 sales in just 11 days.

// THREAD //
I would say 99% of your clients that pay you $2000-3000/mo. for any retainer make $20k/mo. or more.

But there's a HUGE market to help businesses that are making less.

They can't afford mo. payments and aren't willing.

How do you go about helping them?

Let's begin.
1. Frame your Offer

For this example let's take FB ads as your service.

Usually you charge $2-3k/mo. to take care of a client's ad campaigns.

But this time, you're going to charge a one-time fee to teach how to run FB ads to the businesses themselves.

Price: $2500+ one time

Get past the receptionist and speak directly to the business owner.

Here's how to do it.

// THREAD //
"Cold calling is a waste of time!"

WRONG.

It is the best way to conduct direct market research.

It is also an effective way to close sales if done correctly (not this thread).

Most of the time people get stuck speaking with a receptionist.

Let's change that.
1. Requirements

Only cold call a few times a day.

It's like sending cold emails.

You don't send 500 a day.

You send a few, hand-crafted ones.

Secondly, only call leads where you know their name.

Otherwise, it's 10x harder and not worth it.

Let's get started.
