If you don’t know how to sell, you’ll never be wealthy.

Here are 20 words that will help you master the art of sales: Image
"Why"

Use stories to tell your audience:

• Why do you love your business
• Why did you start it
• Why is it worth it

Use your purpose to build relationships. It wins over hard selling.
"You"

Make it personal. Speak directly to your audience.

When I say, “You deserve the lifestyle you dream of." I'm talking to YOU.

When you speak directly to your audience, you're not just sharing a message.

You're engaging in one-to-one dialogue. Image
"Customized"

Tailor your offering to match customers' unique needs.

Create a bespoke strategy for each customer. One size doesn't fit all, so personalize the approach.

Make each customer feel seen, heard, and catered to.
"Free"

Harness the power of irresistible free offers.

I grew my newsletter from 0 to 68,000 subs by offering free insights to Founder OS systems.

A free product can become the most critical factor in sales and brand loyalty, without even being a direct purchase. Image
"Instant"

Leverage the desire for quick wins and fast results.

Showcase how using your products can deliver outcomes quickly.

Cater to your audience's appetite for instant gratification.
"Guaranteed"

Offer reassurance to boost conversions.

If you know your product is the best out there, don’t shy away.

“Zach used Founder OS’ guaranteed systems to grow his revenue by 3.5x in 60 days”.

Back your product with a strong promise. Image
"Limited Time"

Create urgency and scarcity.

Flash sales and seasonal promotions tap into FOMO.

I have limited-edition digital products that I release a few times a year to maintain exclusivity.

Deadlines become catalysts for action, turning hesitation into commitment.
"Easy"

Highlight how you make customers' lives simpler.

Founder OS provides plug-and-play systems that are easy to implement.

No complicated setup. Just results.

Communicate the convenience you offer. Image
"Save"

Emphasize how you help your customers save:

• Time
• Effort
• Money

Demonstrate the value and cost savings you bring to the table.
"Discover"

Invite customers to uncover new possibilities.

Founder OS helps you discover the systems to grow your business to $1M and beyond.

Hint at the transformation that awaits when they buy. Image
"New"

Create a buzz with groundbreaking innovations.

Bitmaker was the first new coding boot camp of its kind in Canada.

I positioned it as a novel, cutting-edge education model.

Spark curiosity by teasing fresh solutions to old problems.
"Revolutionary"

Challenge the status quo and shake up your industry.

“My revolutionary audience capture tech converts 35% of anonymous web traffic into known emails”.

Spotlight your most disruptive, category-killing innovations.
"Elite"

Position your product as rare and desirable.

When I spoke at the Capitalism Conference, I shared these insights with an elite group of 100 7-figure founders.

Emphasize the privilege of access to make people feel special. Image
"Safe"

Proactively overcome doubts and objections.

Demonstrate how partnering with you ensures safety for them and their business.

For example, Google emphasizes privacy-safe personalization to create more relevant and engaging experiences. Image
"Premium"

Justify a high price point with exceptional quality.

For example, Apple iCloud+ is promoted as Apple’s premium cloud subscription.

Highlight exclusive offerings and services that warrant a premium price tag. Image
"Effortless"

Remove friction and make taking action a no-brainer.

For example, “Experience effortless driving with our latest innovations in cruise control and automatic parking”.

Grease the slide and make saying "yes" the path of least resistance.
"Join"

Rally customers around a shared mission and identity.

“Join millions of subscribers and never miss a moment of your favorite shows”.

Make belonging to your brand a badge of honor.
"Imagine"

Paint a vivid picture of the customer's dream scenario.

“Imagine your business running on autopilot as you sip margaritas on the beach.”

Transport the reader to their ideal future state. Image
"Simple"

This works like a charm because it:

• Focuses on benefits
• Offers clarity of value
• Reduces perceived risk

Overcome initial resistance and address challenges faced by your audience.
"Proven"

Showcase the tangible results you deliver.

I used these audience growth systems myself to reach 1.8M raving fans.

Lead with concrete proof, not hype. Image
Stop guessing and start using these proven phrases in your messaging.

Your words can open wallets or close doors.

Use them wisely.

How to monetize your expertise (without selling your soul):
The Expertise Paradox

Most experts are broke.

They have incredible knowledge but no system to monetize it.

Meanwhile, mediocre people with systems make millions.

Knowledge without systems is just expensive hobbies. Image
My Expertise Transformation Story

2017: Built my first system, hit $5,000/month

2021: Systemized everything, reached $150,000/month

2024: Founder OS generates $464,000/month

Same expertise. Different systems. Image

How I replaced 15 employees with AI (and increased revenue 200%):
The Great Reset Is Here

Traditional jobs are disappearing faster than new ones are being created.

But AI isn't your enemy.

It's your greatest opportunity.

The founders who win are the ones who use AI to build, not fear it. Image
My AI Transformation Story

18 months ago, I had a team of 40 people.

Today, I have 25 people generating 200% more revenue.

What changed? I replaced humans with AI in these roles:

• Copywriter
• Offer Strategist
• Executive Assistant
• Email Sequence Writer

AI doesn't replace humans. It replaces human tasks.Image

How to build a profitable personal brand (in just 30 days):
The Old Game Is Dead

Stop playing by outdated rules:

• Paying for ads → Diminishing returns
• Chasing algorithms → Constant anxiety
• Hiring PR firms → Speaking someone else's words
• Press features → Temporary spikes
• Networking events → Surface-level connections

The new game: Become the media company.Image
You = The Media Company

Most founders still don't get it:

• Media companies own their distribution
• Media companies control their narrative
• Media companies create intellectual property
• Media companies build loyal audiences
• Media companies monetize attention

Stop acting like a guest on someone else's platform.Image

I make $1.1M per month while taking 4-day weekends.

Here's how to build a business that runs without you:
Systems > Hustle

Most founders are stuck working IN their business instead of ON it.

They chase growth through brute force when they should be building systems.

The simple truth:

• You don't need to work harder
• You don't need more hours
• You don't need more motivation

You need systems that run without you.

The difference between a job and a business is whether it works when you don't.
The AED Framework

This is the exact system I use to remove myself from operations:

• AUTOMATE what's repetitive
• ELIMINATE what's unnecessary
• DELEGATE what's not in your zone of genius

When something lands on your plate, run it through this filter immediately.

Your most valuable resource isn't money, it's your attention.Image

How to sell (without feeling salesy):
Why Most Founders Hate Selling

After studying 300+ founder sales processes, I discovered why most hate selling:

• They use manipulative tactics that leave them feeling like they need a shower
• They focus on transactions (getting the sale) instead of transformations (changing lives)
• They separate valuable content from offers, creating a jarring disconnect
• They apologize for asking for money
• They treat selling as necessary evil instead of natural conclusion of helping

Your discomfort with selling isn't just costing you sleep, it's costing you millions.Image
The Ethical Wealth Formula That Changed Everything

(Value First × Trust Building) × Authentic Positioning
———————————————————
Frequency of Asks × Pressure Tactics

This isn't abstract theory. It's practical math:

• Increase the numerator: deliver more value, build more trust, position more authentically
• Decrease the denominator: reduce frequency of asks, eliminate pressure tactics
• Watch revenue soar while your integrity remains intact

Ethical doesn't mean unprofitable. It means sustainable.Image

I generate $264,000 per month from content.

Not luck. Not grinding 80-hour weeks. Not spending millions on ads.

A proven system that converts attention into cash.

Here's exactly how:
Most founders are throwing money away.

I spent $487,000 testing content strategies over 3 years.

Here's what doesn't work:

• Posting whenever you "feel creative"
• Random "inspiration" posts with no strategic direction
• Chasing followers, likes, and comments while your bank account stays empty

Content without direction isn't just noise, it's expensive waste.Image
The Content GPS System That Changed Everything

After helping 732 founders transform content into cash machines, I've distilled it to three elements:

• G: Goals (specific revenue outcomes for each piece)
• P: Pillars (core themes that position you as authority)
• S: Systems (automated processes that run without constant input)

This is your 24/7 revenue engine on autopilot.Image
