Stop Depending on Referrals. Helping 120+ B2B Consultants Add an Extra $30k/m & Solve Client Acquisition Forever

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 #𝟏 for Owners of B2B Service Businesses: 
Depending on Referrals, Inbound & Network --> Revenue Volatility.
𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Learn how to approach & convert strangers. Here's how we'll do it 👇

🏭 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎 and 👨 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐖𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 👩
We work with Agencies, Consultants & other B2B Service Providers
We help you
✅ define 3-5 offers &  5-10 pain points
✅ reach out to strangers via Cold Email & DMs
✅ test different pain-offer combinations, see what books sales calls
✅ build consistent deal flow that eliminates volatility & adds $10-50k/month revenue

Most of all, we help you reach a predictable CAC-LTV ratio
(Client Acquisition Cost - Customer LifeTime Value)
Once we're done with you, you will know your formula:
Put $1 in, get $3-5 out.
Consistently.
Predictably.

WHAT WE DO
We help you (small B2B company, solopreneur) build an effective client acquisition system taking into account that some people want to sign up NOW and others need more time.

HOW DO WE DO IT
We help you implement The Funnel 🔻and The Pot 🍲 in your business - 
🔻 Create a compelling acquisition journey for your inbound prospects, taking into account all possible questions and objections they may have.
🍲 Gradually build a content powerhouse that allows you to nurture the "maybe later" people who simply need more time.
Our system allows you to do both: Win new clients instantly as well as create assets for the long run. 

SPECIAL SAUCE
We're not a one-size-fits-all kind of company. 
✅ You need to win new clients pronto? No problem, we'll create a plan to do that. (watch how Dana got herself a client in her first two weeks and Liz in 4 days and Matt made $30k within 11 days of working with us: www.alphaleadacademy.com)
✅ Business is fine, you just want to add rocket fuel? Bingo, we'll create the greatest Pot 🍲 the world has ever seen.
So far, EVERY single client of ours who consistently applied our methodology had at least 300% ROI. And even if it takes you a while - we work together until you start winning big.

Excellent Cold Email. 👇

Here's why it wins:

1) Leads with identity. 
It shouldn't matter, of course, that he's a father of 3 and husband. 
But in a world where childless bros dominate, it's a different style

2) Shows his numbers
65% close rate is insane. And I'm sure that's not from cold traffic. Can't be. 
Even Hormozi wouldn't accept such a close rate. In this case, you're underpriced. 
But it sure grabs attention.

3) Uses the right lingo. 
He knows his audience. 
In other cases, "B2C Biz Op" and DFY DWY verbiage might land flat. 
But that's the world I inhabit. 
So good on him

4) Actually links to a recent sales call video. 
It's very recent. Like 3 weeks old. 
I can IMMEDIATELY check his work. 
However, this probably also means that he's personalizing heavily and NOT running a spray and pray campaign. 
(otherwise a link in a first email would destroy his deliverability.)
The alternative would be to send a question if I'm ok with him sending me that link. 

Really well done Milos.

I build outbound + VSL growth engines for agencies & B2B consultants​ ==​> replace referrals with 10–20 qualified sales calls/month | CEO & Founder at Alpha Lead Academy | 200+ clients served, 2000+ sales calls booked

The main reason you HAVE to do VIDEO 

...is that more and more people sound the same in writing. 

Just read an interesting post from someone I know. 
But it didn't SOUND like them. 
No idea: was it THEM or the MACHINE? 

And that's why video is such a must. 
Sure, at some point the bots will be good enough to impersonate people. 
But for now, it's not good enough yet.

Peter Steinberger (founder of OpenClaw)

“As soon as it smells like AI, I block. Zero-tolerance policy.”

The more senior your decision maker avatar, the less tolerance there will be for AI generated content, even if it emanates directly from your previous content. 

Use AI directly for content generation AT YOUR PERIL. 

AI needs to be deployed behind the scenes:
1) Scouring the best performing hooks & serving them to you on a silver platter
2) Suggesting the best bits from a recent podcast appearance you made
3) Summarizing interesting points you made on a recent coaching call and suggesting 1-minute clips from that. 
4) Taking a recorded ramble from you and organizing your thoughts. 

But it should NOT script your content for you. 
People will smell it. 
And the most valuable members of audience will, like Steinberger, apply a zero tolerance approach and block you. 
And then their eyeballs are gone from your content forever. 

Don't risk that. 
You are the FIREWALL that separates your audience from the ocean of AI slop. 
Build up that trust. 
And never ever betray it.

AI can create a more beautiful Mona Lisa 

Its value would be zero. 

Sam Altman: "The value that people put on visually perfect, AI-generated art... effectively rounds to zero.”

Why?

2 reasons:
1) Beautiful AI images are abundant and extremely cheap to produce. 
And although the Louvre is big, it's still one building with a finite amount of rooms. 
Scarcity drives value. 

2) The story behind the art is what makes it really valuable
That's why even a miniature replica of Michelangelo's David costs $9.99
And the real deal has throngs of people staring at it in awe.

David is not only artistic perfection.
It's about how Michelangelo made it and how he suffered making it.
It's what it symbolizes in the context of Florentine history. 
It's what his determined gaze meant to the city.
It's all its "baggage" that makes the statue so uniquely precious.

It turns out, we don't really revere the art itself. 
We revere the artist.
The fact a mere mortal, made from the same flesh and blood as us, was able to produce something so unimaginably beautiful and imbue it with so much meaning that centuries later, people worship at its feet (literally).
THAT is what we celebrate. 

In art, and - to a lesser extent - in business.
We work with and trust the people whose content is infused with experience

Takeaway for YOUR content creation journey? 
First - Write well. Speak well. Make "good art". 
Technical mastery of 
--> hooks
--> storytelling
--> topic selection
--> cliché avoidance 
--> laying out an argument
--> questioning yourself whether you're just parroting others
and a million other things that matter in business content, whether LinkedIn or YouTube.

Invest in being actually GOOD with content. 

Second - Keep it human
Use AI for idea generation, parsing & structuring your thoughts - sure. 
But for God's sake don't allow it to "edit" for you. 
Or - even worse - actually do the writing and YOU then edit it. 

Write and speak your own words.
Always.

Should you mention in the cold email

...how much you charge?  🤔

No. 

And here's why. 

Because we want the prospect to respond. 
Not to analyze. 

Sharing the fee up front kicks off a thought process
1) "Is 15% good or bad?"
2) "I think this other guy I spoke to does 12%"
3) "Hmm, I guess I should start shopping this around..."

So Version 2 wins. 
Keeping them curious gets more replies.

We send prospects a video telling them to cancel the sales call.

Before they even show up.

Sounds insane.

It's our highest-converting asset.

We call it a Thesis Video.

Here's what's in it 👇

1. Our philosophy 
How we think client acquisition should be done.

2. What we believe 
Sales before marketing. 
Volume solves everything. 
Bog standard offers.

3. Who it's NOT for 
We list specific reasons they should cancel the call.

The people who cancel after watching?

They weren't going to buy anyway.

The people who show up say:

"I love this. This is exactly what I believe."

The sales call becomes logistics. Not convincing.

They've already decided they want in.

Your process should: 
→ Repel bad fits 
→ Keep good fits moving forward

Less drama. More control.

A prospect took my free working session.

Got massive value. Said yes to $12k. Agreed on the call.

2 hours later?
Email: "Sorry, too expensive, but thanks for the tips!"

My first instinct was rage.
Send a nasty email. Tell him exactly what I thought.

Then I realized:
This was 100% my fault. Not his.

→ I offered a free session to someone who wasn't qualified 
→ I didn't take payment on the call when I had the chance 
→ I acted like a Golden Retriever instead of a leader

If someone plays you, it's because you left the door unlocked.

I changed the rules of engagement
✅ Qualify before offering anything free 
✅ Use a €250 taster instead of free sessions
✅ Take payment on the call 

Everything in sales is your fault.
You build the system. You set the rules.
Not to be cynical - but it's wise to design your process for the worst in people.

"Personalize everything." "Research each prospect." "Quality over quantity."

It's killing your business.

Here's why 👇

Hyper-personalized outreach: 5% booking rate. Maybe even 10%. Sounds amazing.

But here's what nobody tells you:

Each email takes 30 minutes. You can send maybe 20/day. That's 1 booked call.

Mass emails: 0.1% booking rate. Sounds terrible.

But:

Each email takes 0 seconds (machine does it). 
You send 15,000/day. 
15 booked calls.

1 call vs 15 calls.

This isn't even close.

"But my market is different..."

No. It's math.

Match your effort to your market size.

If your TAM is 100 companies, personalize everything. If your TAM is 100,000 companies, volume is the lever.

Stop overinvesting in prospects who might not even have the pain you solve.

Bog-standard emails at volume beat sniper shots.

Every time.

Hormozi recently advised a “B2B Data Consultant” 

…on how to get clients. What stood out: 👇


𝟏) 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 
“What’s the dollar and cents output of what you do? 
I pay you money - what money do I get back?”

Many B2B consultants struggle with this question.
And having an answer is SO predictive of your proactive client acquisition success that I would invite you to consider adjusting your offer UNTIL you find an answer. 

I’d be willing to bet that
→ If your service doesn’t offer tangible, straight-line ROI within 3-12 months, you’re FAR more likely to depend on referrals. 
→ If your service DOES offer it, you’ll be able to turn strangers into clients with reasonable predictability. 


𝟐) 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 
That should go without saying. 
Charging hourly is the opposite of value-based pricing. 
You become an expense instead of an investment. 


𝟑) 𝐈𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 “𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚”
Data - no one cares about.
It’s boring. 
Talk about BENEFIT of data
Your content: Demonstration of what occurs as the result of your services. 


𝟒) 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 = 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝟓 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐨𝐧-𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞. 
But only for companies that meet your criteria
The problem with lead magnets in “data consulting”: There will be such a HUGE variability in their situation that’s not universally solvable with a simple lead tool/audit/assessment. 
So it’s best to give away your time as the foot-in-the-door offer. 
That way, you can prepare for a proper enterprise-style sale. 

As you set the stage for this offer on the discovery call, ask them if they’re cool with you telling them on the 5th call what working with you would look like. 
“In the meantime, I want to provide a lot of value”

Also, caveat: 
On the calls, talk ABOUT the solution
Don’t talk about HOW TO DO the solution. 
The calls shouldn’t be about giving them the exact step-by-step. 
They should be about painting a picture of the promised land. 

If they ask about specifics on how to do something (procedural knowledge), keep it broad.
There is still value in mere declarative knowledge (knowing that something exists)

The key is to frame the calls up front
Call it the “Data Value Diagnostic: 5 executive working sessions to quantify where data is leaking value and where to focus in the next 12 months.”

Scope the free series clearly:
What is free:
→ Current state + pain + constraints discovery
→ High-level data maturity / opportunity assessment
→ Prioritized list of 3–5 initiatives with rough business cases
→ Decision support: where data investment is and isn’t worth it

What is not free:
→ Detailed solution architecture
→ Specific model / pipeline designs
→ Specs, runbooks, implementation plans, vendor selections
→ Internal stakeholder decks, full financial models, etc.
