Hey guys, I have a question for the people here who are already doing database reactivation / Sleeping Beauty. Besides the Lumpy Mail strategy that is recommended in the community for getting bigger businesses to work with you, what other methods have you guys used to find partners? I’m a student and I don’t really have the budget to send out a lot of those lumpy mails with the bottle + letter, so I’m trying to find a more low cost way to get in front of businesses that already have a big database. For those of you who have already landed your first few partnerships, what would you recommend? Cold email, cold DM, networking, referrals, finding agencies to partner with, something else? Would really appreciate hearing what actually worked for you guys, especially if you started with basically no budget.

The ANTI-AI way to land high profile clients is working better than anything else… Dan here… Most peeps wanna figure out how to automate client acquisition with AI. Across the “Big 4” channels… Email, LinkedIn, FB, IG. And look… it's not a dumb move. AI makes outreach faster, cheaper, and easier to scale. The problem? When things are EASY… EVERYONE does it So now every decision-maker… At any $10M+ company… …is fielding 40 AI-generated pitches before lunch. LinkedIn DMs have become a warzone of "quick question" openers that all sound like the same robot wrote them. We need to stand out! So here's where my head's at half way thru 2026: Instead of trying to out-automate everyone on the channels they're ALL spamming… What if ya just showed up on the ONE channel nobody's using? A physical package that lands on their actual desk. Not their inbox… their DESK. Where there's no spam filter, no "mark as read," no algorithm deciding whether they see it. It's sitting there next to their coffee and they are COMPELLED to open it (who doesn’t like receiving packages) We've been testing this with adventure parks… 70 bottles sent, 20 coffee dates booked… 5 closed… about 10 more in the pipeline about to come in. Even if we end up with 10 clients off of 70 outreach messages… that hit rate is BONKERS We will clean up and its not even close I'm not saying digital outreach is dead (not yet anyway) I just think the SMARTEST play right now… Is ZIGGING when everyone’s ZAGGING. Direct mail is the way. Anyway that's what we’re going all in on and why this group exists - so we can crush this together, land WHALE clients and set off into the sunset with our millions You in?? Dan P.S There IS a right way to use AI in outreach… But it’s not automating the outreach. Can ya guess what AI is GREAT for in the client acquisition process?

Yo Yo! Good to have you here, caffeine seeker!! This group isn't for procrastinators. We want to you getting on coffee dates and closing deals - no matter what your offer is... I don't want you to miss out. Here is how this group is going to work, please make sure you read through each point below carefully: 1. "B2B Gifts" Training is inside the classroom here - this is our bread and butter - start here, it is by far and away the best client getting strategy I have ever used. 2. The ‘money bags’ training is what we use for "secondary" follow up. I forked out $15K and sent it to the direct mail OG Luke Jaten for this genius strategy, and I jumped on calls with him and recorded them. The private training and resources are hosted here - please dive in. The training is golden - but dont go through this until you have sent at least 50 "B2B Gifts", you wont need to send until then 2. Direct mail success is dependent on, in order of importance, the mailing list (40%), the offer (40%) and the copy (20%). Both sets of training takes you step by step through each of these 3 elements and gives you everything you need to start mailing as soon as your bank bags arrive. Good luck, -D PS Please leave a comment, saying "HI" and let us know where you live! PPS Skool has iPhone and Android apps, which may make jumping in on convos and catching new stuff as it drops more convenient. The iPhone app works really well for me.

Most peeps trying to land clients right now are firing off hundreds of cold emails a day… and refreshing their inbox like a slot machine. Two replies if they're lucky… and one of 'em says "delete my email" It is a SLOG. Whenever you’re having to SLOG… You likely have SLOW SALES Anytime I have been slogging away at something… I know I’ve messed up! This is a dangerous place to be. Businesses die in the slog. Either you run outta cash or you run outta steam. When the pressure builds… and things aren’t working… Most peeps will SLOG HARDER. “Just do more” as Hormozi preaches. Insanity is what I call that. If something isn’t working, the fix is NOT slogging harder. It’s changing the game. When Google changed its algo and destroyed the Rank & Rent model overnight… I switched over to lead generation. When the retainer model became a pain in the backside to deliver on… I created the Pay Per Lead model that allowed me to charge 3-5X markups on EACH of my leads. This became my first 7-figure biz. When ad costs rose, margins got squeezed… I pivoted to AI before it was trendy - and that biz has generated us multiple 7-figures. SO… I like to think I am pretty good at spotting trends and riding the wave? Client acquisition is in a similar space. It is a SLOG. Trust has tanked. Inboxes are fuller than ever before. Fewer peeps are even REPLYING to outreach messages (and when they do, they are skeptical as hell) Instead, the winning client acq strategies in 2026 are able to: 1. BUILD trust 2. SKIP the inbox and get opened 3. MOTIVATE them to reply positively Figure this out and you will never run out of leads. Dan

Yo yo!! I had so much fun on today’s webby… especially when I hit play on the real life “coffee date” close… The poor Scottish guy was putty in my hands. Mwa ha ha!!! (spoiler alert its towards the end) Please enjoy the replay. I have never seen a better “whale” harpooning marketing method. If you are gonna commit and go hard at this? These are the numbers you want to aim for: - $50 per send - 75% contact rate - 1 in 3 book in - $150 per coffee date - $300-$600 per CLOSED CLIENT - $750 “Skin in game” fee How do I know it’s possible? Been doing it the last 8 weeks myself, and it’s CRUSHIN’ Links mentioned: Sales Wingman https://app.saleswingman.ai/free-lite B2B Leads Lumpy Mail training: https://www.skool.com/b2b-gifts/classroom/2cfd380d?md=c62a7d573e2a4852863185b7252232db (includes resources) Out of interest, who is headed to the High Level event in Dallas 26th - 30th this year?
