You’re making it work. Just like most 'business' owners I meet.

But the truth?

You haven’t built a real business yet.

- You’re talented
- You’ve got some clients
- You know how to get results

But your sales call calendar? 
The inconsistent revenue? 
The never ending slack messages?

That’s the real problem.

Most agency owners I work with want three things:

1) Consistent pipeline with high quality leads
2) A team to delegate client work
3) Clarity on what to work on when

A business that works for you. Not a job.

Here’s how I help:

1) We position you to win premium retainers
2) We install a lead gen system to fill up your calendar
3) We fix your calendar so you can lead like a real CEO

And we do it together in a focused 90 day sprint

No fluff. No cookie-cutter advice. 

Just real support that drives results.

Here’s what that looks like:

📌 Tanner: From $15K with 1 client → $30K/month, in 4 months
📌 Sam: Doubled his agency and hired a new team in 90 days
📌 Tobi: Went from freelancer to $30K/month with A+ clients
📌 Alex: Scaled from $12k to $70k in 4 months
📌 Stephen: Scaled from $10k to $18k by increasing prices 
📌 Sammy: Grew by over 50% in 60 days and hired a team

And I’ve also done it all myself. Twice.

Built two 7-figure agencies from scratch.

Now I coach high-performing remote agency founders like you to do the same.

Minus the mistakes I made (LOL)

So if you’re:

- Running a marketing agency
- Already at $5K+/month
- Ready to grow without losing your sanity

And let’s build the agency you actually want.

From $2K/month to outside Alex Hormozi's HQ.

Here's the roadmap of how he did it.

It didn't start in Vegas.
It started with a 21 year old called Victor Moen who'd been "an entrepreneur" since 15…
and felt like he'd failed at everything.

Marketing agencies.
Drop shipping.
Websites.
Nothing worked.

He was waking up depressed, scrolling YouTube,
waiting for the next hack to save him.

Then he built his affiliate agency
and stopped trying to figure it out alone.

When he finally got the structure he'd been missing,
he made 10k in 10 days from one action item he didn't even know existed.

He took the money, booked a flight,
and walked into Hormozi's workshop with his hands shaking.

What changed him wasn't hype.
It was finally doing the fundamentals he'd avoided for years.

And that's why we built the Agency Scaling Roadmap.
For the Victors of the world who have the drive… but no structure.

Inside the Roadmap:

• Financial engine (cash, margins, risk)
• Growth engine (cold email, LinkedIn, sales)
• Operational systems
• Hiring and delegation
• Long term authority and retention

If you want it, comment "Roadmap" in the comments and I'll send it over.
You must be connected with me to receive it.

PS. The roadmap is built to take your agency to $100k per month.

You think your LinkedIn content isn't working.
458 views. 5 likes. 1 comment.

But here's what you can't see:

The ideal client you've been looking for...

1) They've read your last 12 posts. 
2) They've visited your profile 5 times. 
3) They've screenshot your frameworks. 
4) They've forwarded your content to their team.

But... They've never engaged once.

Not a single like. 
Not one comment. 
Nothing in your DMs.

Here's the problem:

They won't make the first move.

This is why you can't just post and pray.

1) Check who viewed your profile → DM them 
2) See who followed you this week → DM them
3) Notice someone's read multiple posts → DM them

Not the people commenting "Great post!" (They're just bots)

The silent ones. 
The lurkers. 
The profile viewers who never engage.

They're your hottest leads.

I messaged 25 of these people last week:

7 responded
4 booked calls
1 became a client

All from people who never liked a single post.

Your content brings them to the door. 
But you still have to open it.

Stop waiting for them to book a call. 
They won't.

Start conversations with your silent audience. 
That's where the real money is.

I tracked how a LinkedIn user became a $5,000 client.

Meet John.

Monday: Scrolls past your post during his commute
Tuesday: Likes it (doesn't read it)
Wednesday: Forgets you exist

But you got 50 likes, so you think it worked.

Newsflash:

1 LinkedIn post is NOT enough depth to build trust.

Maybe for $47 eBooks. But not for high-ticket clients.

Now, meet John, who pays you $5,000:

Touch 1-3: Posted 3 times. John scrolled past all of them.
Touch 4: Commented on HIS post. He noticed me.
Touch 5-6: Two emails. 2nd got forwarded to his team.
Touch 7: YouTube video. He watched during lunch.
Touch 8-9: More posts. Now he recognizes my name.
Touch 10: DM about his specific problem. He replied.
Touch 11: Shared his post. Real conversation started.
Touch 12: Got a DM: "Hey, can we jump on a call?"

12 touchpoints. 42 days. One customer.

While I was nurturing John, my competitor's "5 LinkedIn tips" post got 2,000 likes.

They celebrated going "viral."

I celebrated signing a $5,000 contract.

They got dopamine.
I got revenue.

The harsh truth the personal brand gurus won’t tell you:

That viral post with 500 comments?

→ 90% are other creators
→ 8% will never buy
→ 2% might be prospects

That "boring" case study with 1000 impressions?

→ Your next 3 clients watched it
→ Twice

The $1M question: Would you rather have:

1) 100,000 strangers see you once, OR
2) 100 buyers see you 10 times?

I know my answer.

Because depth beats reach.
Consistency beats virality.

Trust beats tricks.

Stop counting likes.
Start counting touchpoints.

Your ideal customer won't book themselves in for a call.

But they do need your help.

Watching silently.
Testing you.
Waiting to see if you'll still be here next month.

Will you?

Varun, cofounder at Clay, extended his European tour to add Paris.
The call for French croissants was too strong.

Probably both.

Anyway, we had to make it count!

Here are the (amazing) speakers:

​- Varun Anand (ofc) - CEO and Cofounder Clay
- ​Charles Tenot - CEO lemlist

Don't miss out!

Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Revenue.

Stop treating your prospects like a mass audience.
They’ll notice.

Shift from a "1 to many" mindset to genuine 1-1 communication.

Your emails should feel like they were crafted specifically for each recipient

Not just another mass outreach attempt.

Here are 9 ways to improve your cold emails:

1️⃣ Research the prospect’s industry

Understand the specific challenges and trends in their industry.

Mention these in your email to show you’ve done your homework.

2️⃣ Address their pain points

Identify what keeps them up at night.

Tailor your message to address these issues directly
Offering a solution that fits their needs.

3️⃣ Highlight common interests

Find common ground.

Whether you went to the same school or have a mutual connection.

Mentioning this can make your email stand out.

4️⃣ Reference their work

Mention a recent project or achievement of theirs.

This shows you’re genuinely interested in them.
Not just looking to sell something.

5️⃣ Keep it short and sweet

No one has time to read a novel.
Be concise and get to the point quickly.
Respect their time.

6️⃣ Follow up thoughtfully

If you don’t get a response, send a follow-up email.
Reference your previous email.

Add something new to keep the conversation going.

7️⃣ Be authentic

People can sense when you’re not being genuine.
Let your personality shine in your emails.
Be yourself.

8️⃣ Offer value

Give them a reason to respond.
Offer something of value to them.

Whether it’s a free resource, advice, or some work you did.

9️⃣ End with a clear Call to Action

Tell them exactly what you want them to do next.
Make it clear and easy for them to respond.

How to fail your cold email campaigns:
(and what to do instead)

In cold email, your opening lines are crucial.

Besides your subject line, this is what will make your prospect read your email (or not).

Some of the best lines to be sure to fail:

→ "Let me introduce myself."
→ "I am sorry to disturb you."
→ "Did you enjoy your weekend?"
→ "I hope this email finds you well."
→ "Did you know that [random fact]?"
→ “I saw your page and decided to reach out."
→ "Would you be interested in [your services]?"

Now, instead of these clichés, here are a few tips so you are relevant to your prospects:

→ Do thorough research (or let AI do it for you)
→ Include a clear and low-commitment CTA
→ Demonstrate industry knowledge
→ Offer a free (and good) resource
→ Highlight unique selling points
→ Be a teacher, not a preacher
→ Personalize your approach
→ Focus on their pain points
→ Provide value upfront
→ Be concise and clear
→ Use social proof
→ Be human

I hope this helps! 🙌

I’ve been doing cold email for the last 7 years.
Many things changed, but not these 3 key principles.

Cold email still works incredibly well.
But most people still do it wrong.

Master these 3 key principles, and you will be future-proof:

(no matter the latest changes from Gmail)

1️⃣ - Get your targeting right

If you’re not sure who you’re talking to, you’re not doing cold email.

You’re spamming.

A clear ICP means reputation saved, easier list building, and relevance.

2️⃣ - Get your technical infrastructure right

Technical setup was always important.
It’s now non-negotiable.

Fix your deliverability or be invisible, no matter how good your offer is.

I used to deal with the technical setup manually.
(and it wasn’t fun)

Today, tools like Zapmail.ai handle everything for me.
I definitely recommend you do the same!

3️⃣ - Get your messages right

A.k.a. being relevant.
Not clever. Not cute. Not vague.

Just real, researched, and resonant.
Anything less gets ignored.

Cold email isn’t dead, it just grew up.

The rules changed. But these principles didn’t.

And today is your chance to upgrade your infrastructure for a ridiculously low price!

Zapmail.ai is going crazy on Black Friday promotions:

→ Super cheap pre-warmed domains + mailboxes
→ $9.99 .COM domains (cheapest anywhere)
→ ZapShield domain protection → lifetime
→ Inbox placement tests → lifetime
→ Zapbox (unified inbox) → free

I rarely promote tools like this, but this one is too good to be ignored!

3 Key Principles After 7 Years Of Cold Email

Sales teams are quietly splitting into two very different worlds.
And one of them is dying.
 
Old habits block growth.
Leading your Sales reps to burn out fast.
 
Now is the time for smart systems to scale better.
 
The old school way:
→ Reps get stuck with long, costly contracts.
→ Rely on massive SDR teams to hit impossible targets.
→ Churn explodes when exhaustion sets in.
 
The new way:
→ GTM engineers choose flexible, usage-based tools.
→ They build lean sales engines powered by automation.
→ Satisfaction soars with performance that scales.
 
Manual work doesn’t make you valuable.
Automation makes you unstoppable.
 
The best sales pros don’t fear tech.

They design it.

In case you missed it, I'm proudly hosting an exclusive Clay event on Thursday!

Varun Anand, cofounder of Clay, added Paris to his European tour.

He’s going to drop GTM gems for 2026 and beyond.

And he won't be alone on stage!

The top outbound tools are joining him.
lemlist and Salesforge.ai 🔥 will share the stage.

Two killer data providers are here too.
Icypeas and Findymail are ready to drop insights.

This is the future of GTM, all in one room.

If you’re around, this is the room to be in.

The guest list is almost full. Don't miss out!
It's happening in two days!

Dec 4th at 6:00 pm, in Paris 🇫🇷
