I despise cold pitching. Here’s how I made $19,000+ in 46 days from referrals alone… without sending a single cold email.
Scott SealeyJul 22

“Don’t talk to strangers.”  That’s the earliest advice I remember being given.  It’s also the one I followed most strictly. But not because of my parents. Nope. What truly cemented it as an immutable law in my tiny four year old brain was a puppet show put on by the …

A funny lie of adult life is pretending we'll act on advice we collect:

I don't revisit bookmarks.

I rarely re-open Google docs.

I don’t re-read Kindle highlights.

Until today, my friends. I finally realized how to turn notes into action:

What's your go-to prioritization framework?

How do you decide what features/products to prioritize?

At times, people will unfairly paint you as someone or something you’re not.

Your goal isn’t to prove them wrong. Your goal is to be so sure of who you are that it doesn’t even faze you.

Don't sell copywriting, sell more purchases.

Don't sell web design, sell more leads & signups.

Don't sell email marketing, sell a revenue increase.

People don't buy services.

They buy outcomes.

Not sure how to sell benefits instead of features?

Go watch QVC for an hour. They sell benefits allllll day long. And they’re the best in the biz at it.

Tell them why they need it, then tell them what it is. It’s that simple.

New SEO habit..

Whenever I get a link outreach email, I put their URL into @ahrefs to see how many links they've acquired with their outreach.

So far I didn't see any examples of successfully acquired editorial links 🤷‍♂️

Audience research can work two ways:

1) Tactical, i.e. "I already know how I'm going to do marketing and need data on specific opportunities."

2) Strategic, i.e. "I want to learn about how/where to influence my target customers."

They helped me get jobs.
They help me get clients.
They help me build my network.
They help me sharpen my thinking.

Side projects.

Nobody can tell you not to. Find a few minutes here and there to tinker just because.

Over time, the benefits compound in beautiful ways.
