If you’re running a business (or a sales team) and you have the feeling that you should be closing more deals…
You probably should
And that’s ok
What matters is what you do about it
DM me if you want help
I know I’m late to the party, but grokbot is absolutely wild.
I’m a tech bozo and it’s so easy to use.
The world’s going to change so fast…

I took on a client I probably shouldn't have, mostly because I knew the owner personally and wanted to see him succeed.
We had real conversations. Some calls, he was in tears talking about his fear of bankruptcy.
We built the right processes.
We agreed on what needed to happen.
But no matter what we put in place, he wouldn't call his customers and ask for the money they owed him. Every time it came time to collect, he found a reason to wait.
6 months in, nothing had changed.
Not because the plan was wrong, but because he wouldn't execute the one uncomfortable part of it.
No cash, no business.
It doesn't matter how good the rest of your plan is if you won't make the hard calls the plan requires.
Wow. Im having the worst customer service experience with @Verizon
They mistakenly charged me $830 extra on my wireless bill and multiple people have promised to fix it for 3 weeks
Now they’ve suspended my service for not paying it and there isn’t a live person I can’t talk to
Imagine being any auto manufacturer other than Tesla right now… do you give up?
Who can compete with what’s coming?
The internet and social media is a trash heap…
We doom scroll hoping to find the treasure in the trash
Why? There is a better way to live.

I'm pleased to announce my official supplement line, Circadian Labs. The first blockbuster product to be released is Red Light, so that you don't have to get it from the sun anymore
Sunlight destroys your skin, Red Light doesn't
Sunlight causes skin cancer, Red Light doesn't
There is no circadian or evolutionary first principles science to support chronic exposure to full spectrum sunlight
Do you know what there is plenty of evidence for?
Red Light

At 15, my job was cold approaching strangers in Times Square to sell comedy club tickets for cash.
Most founders spend weeks tweaking pitch decks and email subject lines because they are secretly terrified of hearing no.
On the street, you get ignored or told to fuck off 200 times before lunch.
By day three, you realize rejection carries zero physical consequences.
Once you stop treating a no like an identity crisis, closing deals turns into basic probability.
The faster you burn through rejection, the sooner your business actually starts.
It’s wild how many businesses, even big ones, have no idea how to run a sales team effectively.
I talked to a friend working for a large insurance agency and he told me a story that blew my mind.
They burn lead lists after a single call and a follow up email and text. 1 dial.

Most of you are torn between two new things you could chase - and what's worse is you think you can only take one.
You line them up against each other and try to pick the stronger bet... but that's usually a mistake (that's easy one to fall into) because you're running the wrong comparison.
Don't weigh the two new things against each other.
Weigh each one against what's already sitting half-finished on your plate. The work that needs you and isn't done. The things you can do more efficiently.
That's the actual cost of saying yes to something new.
There's work already in motion. Work that's starved because you chase the "other ideas" instead. And can it even run without you right now?
Before you choose any NEW thing, think first:
Should you plan for a new bet? Or should you plan to finish what you started? Which one gives you better results?
Pick the thing your business is worst at. Then leave it broken on purpose. Perfectionism makes you think every number has to be excellent, but that’s never the case. There’s usually only three or four things that decide whether you “win” or not. The rest can be genuinely average and it won’t hurt you at all. Even the giant companies you look up to are held together with duct tape in a dozen places they've quietly decided not to fix. If you try to be great at everything, you'll end up mediocre at the handful of things that were supposed to set you apart. Focus.

If you’re a data broker, DM me.
Got a bunch of old economy businesses in our pipeline interested in selling their data.
Serious partnership inquiries only.
I’ve already seen multiple people make this shift.
I’ve seen some jump ship after a few months.
The game is not as easy as everyone makes it seem. Trust me.
That said, I’ve got a few friends doing 7 figures and working a couple hours a week.
If you are patient and consistent it can be a great spot to go.

Sometimes you just have to be willing to do “unscalable” things
Getting on a 15 min zoom if it means keeping a customer happy
Sending manual DMs and emails to land partnerships
Film a custom video for a prospect to get them over the finish line
Worth it every time

dudes love overselling webinars, i run webinars for a living and i tell everyone there’s at least a 50% chance that they’re going to pay me and make $0 back, if webinars were a 100% guaranteed thing i’d be a trillionaire, in my experience for every 10 webinars that you do there’s 1 huge outlier that can instantly scale to 6 figures, then there’s 4 or 5 who profit a little bit, the rest are negative roas, like 0.5x - 0.8x, you can then improve them of course, but sometimes you just gotta chalk it up to the game, nobody wants to say that though
“Well you’re not considering the new marketing we are about to start and the founders close rate when he was selling to his friends and family”
