Ep. 114 - 9 Red Flags to spot Dishonest B2B LeadGen Agencies - B2B Consultants Beware

Season 1 · Episode 114

Friday, January 10, 2025 • Duration 16:11

I share a 9-point checklist to help vet lead generation service providers to protect against scams. I recount my encounter with a prospect who was defrauded, pointing out red flags like founders not publishing content, vague testimonials, and a sloppy online presence. I also discuss issues during sales calls, such as not asking detailed business specifics or offering uniform pricing regardless of client value. I recommend using sales calls as learning opportunities and advise against using leadgen services unless you've mastered booking sales calls independently.

Ep. 105 - The Straight-Line Client Acquisition Blueprint

Season 1 · Episode 104

Friday, June 21, 2024 • Duration 26:08

About this video: Podcasts, communities, content, and other forms of marketing - all of that is great. But for B2B Consultants who need clients fast, these methods take too long to prove that they can bring in strangers as clients. We need a faster way to show whether an offer works or not. This video shows the Straight Line Approach that can get you sales calls with strangers in as little as 1-2 weeks. Here's the key takeaway: Sales Before Marketing. Become great at sales before you become known, liked and trusted.

Ep. 14 - Your Network Is Holding You Back

Season 1 · Episode 14

Thursday, April 29, 2021 • Duration 15:35

I was 16 and was looking for a summer job. A family friend hooked me up with a gardening shop. Unbeknownst to me, he also fixed up my salary. The owner was willing to pay $x, and so our friend added another $x on top of it which the shop owner was paying me. I only learned about it a few years later.

When I started my business in 2016, I was relying on my network, and for 2 years I've just been cruising with that. And then the network was exhausted.

All of these stories just show what a bad idea it is to rely on your network to be successful in business. You're in a cocoon of inflated demand while you're offering sub-par products or services.

The message: Use your network as a launch pad for a month or two, but then go right out there into the fierce choppy waters of the open market and prove your worth there.

Ep. 12 - 5 Mistakes I Made When Starting My Consulting Business

Season 1 · Episode 12

Thursday, April 15, 2021 • Duration 34:37

In today’s episode I reflect on my journey to $29k revenue per month, a milestone I hit in March 2021.

Truth is it took me unnecessarily long to get there (4.5 years). And so I thought about what I would have done differently if I could go back in time.

After this reflection, I answer two listeners’ questions about outbound prospecting and about personal brand on LinkedIn.

Timestamps:

2:15 - Lesson 1: Do you have a business or are you just doing gigs?

5:15 - Lesson 2: Friends? Great. Wider Network? Meh

9:50 - Lesson 3: Get market validation (with strangers) fast

12:50 - Lesson 3b: Don’t waste time on building an elaborate website

14:30 - Lesson 4: Eliminate side hustles

19:40 - Lesson 5: Design the business for later scalability

22:25 - Listener question about starting LinkedIn outbound conversations with a “problem question”

30:35 - Listener question: How do I build a personal brand on LinkedIn as I’m starting out with my business?
