“I’m Winston Wolf - I solve problems”. - Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction)
James here.
Know who doesn’t get ghosted?
People who fix problems.
Not only do problem solvers (fixers) not get ghosted?
Business owners (and sometimes celebrities) come to them directly and ask for help.
In Pulp Fiction…
Everyone in a tense situation became relieved and hopeful as soon as Winston Wolf (the fixer) was called in.
What did NO ONE ask when The Wolf showed up?
“Who else have you worked with?”
“Can you show me samples of your past work?”
Why not?
If the right people feel you understand their problems and can solve them?
Little else matters.
Now, I’m not saying do deals with shady characters…
…I’m saying…
…With (what I call) Winston Wolf style posts…
You can be seen as the problem-solver of a community or industry.
Just like Tony Teegarden did.
Tony made WW posts, in targeted communities, to get a certain type of offer owner reaching out to him.
…And he turned those convos (the ones he wanted to work with) into BEAMer deals.
(The Offer Owners didn’t know it was a BEAMer campaign they’d be getting - they just knew they had a problem and Tony had a fix.)
Follow what Tony has to say?
And potential partners won’t be ghosting you…
…But you’ll have the option to ghost the peeps you don’t think’ll be a fit for you.
In your corner,
James Foster
PS - Winston Wolf Posts aren’t just for BEAMer deals.
We can use them for:
‘No product? No audience? No problem’ deals
Repurposing Content deals
Getting into other people’s flow
Or any other type of deal you’re putting together.
I posted a few years ago in my roofing group about Winston Wolf. I was helping the roofers position themselves as WW...problem solvers. Problem solvers like you said, don't get asked unproductive (stupid) questions like "How long have you been in business?"..."Can I see testimonials?" It's also a way to get them to take their focus away from their own awesomeness, their business, their service/product...and put the focus on the prospect.
Great post, dude!
Love the WW concept.
