It’s been a while since I beat up on freelancing… Where are you today?
ASSERTION SIDE HUSTLEFor me, yes: 15 - joined FLF 16-18 - freelance copywriting 19-21 - cold email agency 22- (current) - scalable SaaS venture I definitely couldn’t have started my current business at 15.

Bottom of Sales Funnel FAILING and I Don't Know Why or How
FEEDBACKThere are certain products where marketing is as simple as getting a bunch of eyeballs and converting a % of them with a product page.

Bottom of Sales Funnel FAILING and I Don't Know Why or How
FEEDBACKMy first impression is that you’re asking people to pay before having any sense of what their book will look like and say — this might be too much resistance to buy. Why not let them go through the design experience first — or at least the first few steps of it — before the paywall?- Chx

University /IS/ dogma...
SLOWLANEIf your cooking device does what you claim it can do, you should have no problem getting a pre-seed (500k-2m) check from VC investors. VCs are actively looking to invest in disruptive technology that can turn into 10B+ companies. And they often invest pre-product or pre-revenue, which it seems...- Chx

Ravens Guide to Leading With Ruthless Integrity
PEOPLE SCALING EXECUTIONGold as always. How do you handle situations where you have to choose between (A) doing right by one person / a few people or (B) the best long term interest of the company?

Test my Voice AI for insurance agents
SCALINGMakes sense. Also, have you seen Hamming - Automated testing for Voice Agents ? They launched recently, their product is supposed to help with testing and fine tuning voice agents. I tried out their demo and it was pretty neat.- Chx

Test my Voice AI for insurance agents
SCALINGI tested it. I sold Final Expense a few years ago via cold calls so my feedback would be: - opener is exactly what I used to do... "hey is this NAME?" - I didn't love how it handled "not interested". It said "ok, what would be a better time to chat then?" vs. as an agent I would have said...- Chx

Michia Rohrssen (Co-Founder of Prodigy Software, sold to Upstart for ~$110m)
GURUSGot some snippets from an archive of his website. IMO, this is a masterclass in value skew. He didn't make the next Facebook or ChatGPT, he's just helping car dealerships make a bunch of money and save a bunch of headaches, and made $110M doing so.- Chx
