Hug. I cant tell you how many times my mic has been off and I look down and see the red light. I'm working Sun, I'm 2 weeks ahead on 3 vids a week. A lot less pressure. Trying to keep it up.

Right now it's 3 a week because of the slight pivot. 2 on the new topic M & F and W my original topic. My CGE Coach doesn't want me to go all in on the new topic because my growth is too good on the original topic. It is difficult to do three a week all long form and T & Th are shorts. Nothing on the weekend. Right now, I'm lucky because lots of published studies coming out that gives me fresh content.

@Andrea Palten Not me, I am deep in my pivot and working on a real (not AI) book for months that I hope will be done in the next two weeks. Reaching out to clients will come soon. When the book is published most likely. Hardbound and digital. Then, probably using Kit and my list to market the book. I may even buy some ads in a couple of places. I keep forgetting to eat I am so busy. By the way, congrads, your Skool is really building out well Andrea.

@Andrea Palten For me at this moment, $199 is my highest for a course. I am however in the process of a new pivot. Believe it or not, nobody is covering it. Data shows its important, few competitors have one or two videos a year about it. I just can't be a sheep following the pack right off the cliff of 60, 70, 80's slugging it out for the same views. So short of a few post/vids to keep channel growth (just hit 1k) I am building the structure, website, blog and podcast around coming out in a month or two. This pivot will include online seminars, city wide events with corporate sponsors (like the big guys). So, my future will be probably hitting 5k offers in a year if/when this takes off. Claude is a huge help asking me questions I hadn't thought about.

@Rajan Arora I rarely go in cold. I've sent a free gift like a book with a note. Something that works around 20% of the time. When I was a salesman, I always went in with a food related gift. One hundred percent of the time. Back then my ninety day closing rate was in the high sixty percent range.Because they appreciated the gift, and it opened the door. I was trained old school. If I make a 100 off of you I'll spend up to 15 to 20 dollars in a gift, a lunch or ice cream for the office. That would get me past the gatekeeper at the door because everybody looked forward to when I visited. Now that percentage is after I deduct the cost of the product and using strictly profit. Would I take fifteen percent or ten percent for a larger order. Back in those days I sold to Walmart and our own hardware distribution. Every one of those was cold call, including walmart. Walmart, I was able to close in sixty days. Persistence my friend persistence.

@Andrea Palten Super video. One of the first I've been able to watch. You have some amazing points broken down into easy to understand concepts. That cruise to Turks put me into the hospital so I wasn't able to come back and check out CGL like I wanted but I did want to drop by to say really good job on the vid and we will stay in touch. Be well.

@Andrea Palten You know it.🏃‍➡️ That was fun printout to analyze. Good ideas. Everyone should use it or they will miss things they didn't even know was a problem and can make the changes before getting too far along their niche. Great resource.
