I’m definitely getting fired for this…

I'm basically giving away 2+ hours of our coaching totally free (oops).

Hey Anonymous,   It's your friendly neighborhood marketing director here.   Bryan is probably gonna fire me for this, but here it goes.   See, Bryan is out of the office tomorrow…   So he is handing me the reins to host Shop Talk and do "whatever" I want.   I told him I got it, no problem.   Except I don't think he expected me to take things this far.   We're going way over the top. Tomorrow we will: Workshop 12 of your funnels live. Share our 10-step persuasion framework.  Teach you how we cut our cost per booking by 53%. Identify low-hanging fruit to improve conversion rates. Give you all our funnel & copy templates from the workshop. I'm basically giving away 2+ hours of our coaching totally free (oops).   Want to be one of the 12?   You can save the workshop to your calendar here.   Make sure you show up early. This is first come first serve!   -Ben "Totally Getting Fired For This" Dahl P.S. Even if we don't get to your funnel specifically, you'll get a framework for how we break down and look at funnels so you can implement in real time as we go.

Is it wrong to profit in a bad economy?

Should you be promoting your business and profiting right now?

Should you be promoting your business and profiting in this economy?  Yes! Let me repeat. YES!!!!!!! The most selfish thing you could do as a business owner is to feel bad for serving and finding new clients that need you. Do not go out of business because you stopped marketing and selling! The economy suffers, you suffer, and your clients suffer.  Important distinction though: Don't be the goober hoarding food in a fallout bunker and price gouging just because gas prices are up. That's not cool.   Instead:   Be the course creator who pivots their productivity course to a "How to supplement your income while working from home and still be productive" course. THAT IS NEEDED.   Be the mindset coach who pivots their offering to help CEOs keep their teams mentally and emotionally healthy so their business doesn't tank. THAT IS NEEDED.    Be the gym rat who starts a new personal training program and helps 1000s who are stressed out have a healthy outlet. And also keep us from getting fat and lazy! (Trust me) THAT IS NEEDED!   WE NEED ENTREPRENEURS NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!   Now is not the time to disappear. Now is your time to shine!   -Bryan   PS: If you need help figuring out how to get your business to survive and thrive during inflation, high gas prices, and the looming threat of war, I'm putting together a mastermind of 15 people where we'll work closely together to do just that. There are 12 spots left. More details here.   Want to share this message with someone that needs it? Here is the blog post version.

I'm gonna slap you

I'm sure you've heard the news...

Hey Anonymous,  I'm sure you've heard the news… But when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock (with impeccable form by the way)... I was reminded that sometimes we all need a slap in the face to get back on track. Let's be honest, there's something you've been putting off…   And whether it's: Getting enough leads to grow your list. Booking sales appointments with clients. Launching your new funnel. Building out your course or membership. It's definitely holding you back from your income goals.   Maybe that's because you're spread too thin and stuck in the weeds of your business   If that's the case, I'd be happy to slap you in the face.   To get you unstuck, I will: Tell you what you've been doing wrong. Pat you on the back for what you've done right. Identify quick wins for you to bring in revenue immediately. Give you a detailed plan for what to do next. Coach you to crack consistent $10k months in your business. Schedule your complimentary face slap here.   Talk soon,   -Bryan   P.S. Here are some "recently slapped" clients below :) If you're ready to get back on track with you goals, let's chat.

Would you rather spend 400 hours or 40 minutes?

Would you rather spend 40 minutes with a coach who could 2x your revenue or spend 400 hours researching on your own, which would you do? 

Hey Anonymous,    I have a very direct question for you: What is the total amount of time you've spent working towards your revenue goals?   Days? Weeks? Months? YEARS?   In all of my experience in talking with and working with business coaches, consultants, and course makers and asking this question, I am often astounded by the responses I get...80% or more respond with "YEARS!"   So I can say with a great degree of confidence that if you are reading this right now, you are stuck. I can also assume that because you are reading this right now that you don't want to stay stuck.   And if this is this case, I have a solution you may want to seriously consider:   How about if we jump on a quick phone/Zoom call and I help you find out exactly where you're stuck and the exact steps you should be taking to get unstuck?   You see, from your vantage point it may be very hard to "see the forest through the trees" - you may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and unclear on what you should be doing, and NOT DOING right now...   But after helping countless folks get unstuck and rapidly increase their revenue there's a great chance I can quickly diagnose your problems and offer clear and valuable guidance…Why would I volunteer 40 minutes to someone like you at no charge?   Simple.   Two reasons actually... Because my passion and life's work is helping folks just like you reach their goals (and I'm pretty good at it I must say)... Because experience tells me that 2 or 3 out of five people I offer these sessions to end up asking me to help them implement the plan we develop during the call and create a path to $10k in revenue in 90 days …guaranteed. This is the ultimate Win/Win!   But only if you take advantage of this offer:   Let's talk. Click here to finally get unstuck...I guarantee it!   Option A: we can spend 40 minutes mapping out a clear plan for your specific situation, no strings attached…   Option B: you can spend another 400 hours sifting, sorting, searching, and clicking across the web and expect different results…   If I was your coach I would recommend Option A :)   Talk Soon, - Bryan                         Growth Tools, 1910 Madison Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38104 Unsubscribe Manage preferences
