The Giving FUNnel keeps on Giving:-) Got Leads? 👇

@Marcus Karl and I had a debrief call with a partner we ran an auction for last month. Shoutout to @Travis Sago for referring us to the opportunity. As much as I would like to report another $174k banger: it was far from that. His Skool community was pretty much dead. Before we arrived his last post was 6+ months ago. He has an email list of 20k that's mostly dead too. We still wanted to get our reps in so we still ran the campaign. The auction brought was less than $20k revenue and around $6k CC. Not exactly the sexiest numbers. But... we're still walking away with some big (non-monetary) wins. Win #1: We honed our auction campaign skills. And, in my opinion, executed the campaign wonderfully. We learned from our last campaign not to make the same mistakes this time around. Between the copy, the tapping, the hero offer, the domino offer (thanks Travis for helping us)... There's really not much that I can think of that we could have done better. We made due with what we had to work with. Win #2: We got to put our mojo/ronin learnings into play. There was so much that needed/needs to be fixed in this partners business. Overall messaging, lead gen strategy, etc etc. Marcus and I genuinely enjoy working with this partner, and his offer is insanely good. As we demonstrated our expertise, the partner had full trust in us. We were able to bounce ideas, try new things out, and make a meaningful impact on how he runs his business moving forward. Win #3: Partner sees us as longterm, ongoing partners. Could this turn into a money printer? Potentially. The offer is good enough. But the real win here is that Marcus and I are now seen as a trusted business partners. We'll be able to test new ideas, run different campaigns, set up JV's and sharpen our skills. For example, we're setting up a deal with another coach to take up some real estate in the group, we're getting an email marketer on board to get his list rockin, there's talks of JVing with another RE coach to offer his HT backend to the community as an upsell and putting this partners offer to fulfill the LT needs.

Happy Monday everyone! Question for ya @Travis Sago So I just got a bunch of prospects... Looking to run the giving funnel... The thing is these folks are NOT Skool owners. They're just regular folks where there main asset is good 'ol email as far as I can tell. The question is... Do I change the CDOD swipe at all to not mention Skool? Or do I keep the copy "as is" ? I feel if I keep Skool in the copy there could be a "huh?" disconnect. I could be completely wrong tho 🤷 Curious how other CDOD folks have done it ... @James Richardson @Marcus Karl @David Botella @Chris Dyson @Evan DeVries

And I'm just getting warmed up! Currently wrapping up my second auction for a second partner I got from the CDOD Giving Funnel since joining end of Jan. First one did $7k. Second one now closing up the DM's with just under $10k (9.6k currently.) Little ones compared to some of the killers in here doing high-5 and 6-figure auctions. But two new partners, two auctions, over $16k in first 2 months. The reps are stacking fast, I'm building awesome relationships.. and having a ton of FUN along the way!

A partner of mine wanted to move to skool. They set up the group and seeded it with around 700 members nearly a year ago, since then we've grown it the 4,896 members with half of them coming from Skool organic because of the engagement we produced. I'll break that all down in this post for you guys. Ok so a bit of background my partner teaches people in the US who aren't from there to speak better english, to get a better job, get a job, make more friends. He has a podcast, Youtube and we run Facebook ads, we use Laurel Portie's Ads ecosystem (if anybody has any Qs lemme know!) The plan we use is really stupid simple as well to get this amount of people... > Auctions > Posts in the group > Email about the posts He wanted to move everything to Skool. This included killing his highly performing $28 program which was doing very well on ads! After the first auction he noticed that Skool started to send him more people, he messaged me like 'Ryan, that auction most have signalled something to Skool, they are sending us more people...' He was right, his goal was to use this free skool as a holding pen for his higher priced memberships. We put the free lesson he gave away free in this skool. He also has a HUGE back catalog of lessons, so he added a $8 a month level on this skool where you got one every 4/5 days and added a AMA class for paying members every week. We also started to see AFTER the auction people commenting more and more engaged, so I started to turn the comments and DM's to posts, people started engaging even more, guess what? Skool sent us even more traffic... So we just rinse and repeat. Auction. Post. Email to Post. DM everybody. I also DM every new member. Every new member gets this ' here are those free lessons as promised. Quick question…are you looking to just 'get by' with English, or is there a specific goal (like a job or move) that’s making this a priority right now?' I get a gazillion of these everyday, I work through em and am I after shifting and sorting, I want people who want to solve their english now and want to get it better but I have to find out if they have a one of two problems.
