After the first - the next nine partners came easy.
James here.
Yesterday I mentioned getting 10 biz owners to give me 1k to build my email list…
…Along with there’s.
They paid for all the ads and marketing.
I rode along for free.
Today.
Let’s talk about:
How did I get all these partners to give me money…
…To build my list and there's…
…Collect all the money, up front, in less than a week…
…When I’d never done this before and…
…Some of them didn’t know me from a hole in the wall?
The answer: Dominos.
You just have to push the first one over.
If it goes well?
The rest fall into place.
Now
This was before I met Travis…
So I wasn’t as smooth about outreaches then.
Luckily it didn’t matter.
I just needed one YES and I was in business.
I reached out to 10 people I knew and copy and pasted:
“Hey, I’m doing [thing].
With 11 of us I think everyone should get [Benefit worth 5x the $100] for only $100.
I’ll do all the work, set everything up, and all the money goes directly to the ads.
I’m not keeping a dime.
You want in?
I just need your link and the $100.”
(Today I wouldn’t have made that a copy and paste.)
I think 1 person from that initial 10 said yes.
… 1 or 2 more might have come in toward the end…
But when that one person agreed?
I hit them with…
“Thanks dude. Do you know anyone else who’d wanna get in on this?”
That was the key to knocking down the other dominos.
The referral from a trusted source.
I then went to all the people my partner suggested and said:
“Hey, I’m doing [thing] with [Partner].
Together I think everyone should get [Benefit worth 5x the $100] for only $100.
I’ll do all the work, set everything up, and all the money goes directly to the ads.
I’m not keeping a dime.
You want in?”
My memory is a bit spotty, however…
I think half to a majority of these referred people said yes.
KEY POINT TO REMEMBER
It wasn’t my offer that made these people say they’d join in.
…It was a good offer, so it helped, but…
I already had trusted and respected partners on board.
That’s what sealed the deal.
Tomorrow
I’ll explain what the offer was.
How it built my list and my partners at the same time.
And how you can do it today without the expensive software I had to use.
Anyone reading this could set up the same deal…
…and get the same (or better) results…
In a week.
Just takes a little sweat equity.
In your corner,
James Foster
