I’m struggling with convincing prospects (micro gym owners) through cold emails/DMs/calls that my pay-per-lead offer (and I empathize in my outreach that they are highly qualified through my lead nurturing follow-up system) is good enough. I used to think it was because of how young I am and how jaded those targeted niches have become due to lots of teenagers (I am one of them but I’m persevering through) hopping on the SMMA bandwagon thanks to Iman Gadzhi. However, it probably has to do with the offer of a lack of trust somewhere in the equation, or the tonality of my voice during the calls (I get slightly nervous, so much so that I actually avoided cold calls until literally 2 days ago).Let's help those who haven't made a sale yet.
For those who haven't made a sale yet, reply below with what you're struggling with.
In the meantime, here's some questions for you to ponder:
1) What currently keeps a roof over your head?
2) What do people already come to you for help with?
3) If someone had a gun to your head and said you need to make a sale this week then what would you do?
4) If money was no object what work would you be doing?
As for your other questions:
1) I’m a university student, have a scholarship with a decent stipend so no debt but I don’t have much cash flow. Going into the workforce very soon.
2) My mom and relatives always come to me for tech-related things but in reality I look up half of the problems they come to me with on the spot and improvise a solution. I also get asked a lot about the gym and how to get fit as I’ve developed a quite muscular physique through 2.5 years of consistent lifting and 1 year of boxing.
3) A sh*t ton of cold calls, cold emails, and cold DMs non-stop. I would ruthlessly follow-up with each client on a regular basis. But they say desperation is a dealbreaker in sales and dating so I don’t know how well that would work.
4) Honestly? I would probably be training all day to become a professional boxer and with whatever spare time I have record basic YouTube videos to talk about life and improving oneself.
