00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
We want to decrease the friction here for qualified people, so there's good friction and bad

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:10.320
friction. So good friction is something that increases the overall quality of the lead and gets

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.400
out people who suck. Bad friction gets everyone out. A slow page, low time, for example,

4
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:19.920
everyone leaves. Good people and bad people. We want to get the type of friction that only bad people

5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.400
leave and good people stay. And so if we have budget authority need timing, we have the specific

6
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:27.840
things relative to the lead magnet, then you're followed if you want, like, hey, if you can tell me

7
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:31.280
it should be great. If not, I can just go off of your Facebook profile, something like that.

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.560
Then they show up at the call. You have your one of 10 plates that you already figured out ahead of

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:40.960
time. That then sets up the sale. This is Ashley. She has a personal styling business. She's

10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.520
just about 300,000 years and we're going to help her scale. Hi, I'm Ashley Caps. I'm founder of AC

11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:54.640
Styles. So we are a professional wardrobe and personal styling service that helps transform our

12
00:00:54.720 --> 00:01:03.040
clients' confidence and save them time. So revenue. We make about 309,000 annually, 130,000 in

13
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:09.200
profits that gives us about 42% in net margins. So we've been in business for about four years

14
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:15.200
and so far. We've served over a thousand clients. Thousand clients. How'd you get a thousand in

15
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.680
four years? So that's over my whole career. So the business has been for you've done a thousand

16
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.960
yourself. Awesome. Super cool. So who do you help specifically? Right now about 50, 50 men and women

17
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:32.320
typically in their 40s all the way to their mid 60s. These are folks that are stay at home moms.

18
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:36.800
They could be frequent flyers. They could be going up in the career into the sea suite.

19
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:42.400
And it's those that really value their time and really also value having expertise.

20
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.640
Okay. Got it. So what do you do? How do you help them? All right. So we transform our clients'

21
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.760
fashion style and confidence and also help save them time. So we have two different phases in

22
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.720
the way that we do things. So onboarding phase phase one. So we do a style assessment. So basically

23
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:03.360
we establish baseline with their current style. So low style. You look terrible. Like look at the

24
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.080
mirror. You look horrible. Pretty much. Okay. We establish baseline and then we show them where they

25
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.720
can go. Okay. So once we show them where they can go, that's when we go in, we gut the closet,

26
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:17.680
we get rid of everything and we get them into some new outfits, looking, feeling good,

27
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.960
and then from there, that's when we determine, you know, just based on their lifestyle,

28
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:25.840
is it makes sense to work together on like a monthly level, on a quarterly level. And at that

29
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.880
point, we have ongoing styling sessions. We put lookbooks together. Okay. Cool. And we have

30
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:35.280
like an on-demand service as well. Okay. They can text us if like, oh, I got a hot date tonight.

31
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.720
That's an emergency if you will. Pretty much. All right. So when you say you show them what the future

32
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:43.520
looks like, is that just like here's a, like, looks of like other models or something like that?

33
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:50.080
Yeah. So it's putting together a style mood board. And then we also, prior to that, we say,

34
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.680
hey, just based on your complexion, here's the colors that are going to compliment you.

35
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.920
Cool. And then based on your dimensions of your figure, here's like the silhouettes that are

36
00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:02.560
going to work best for you. Oh, cool. And then a big component of it is lifestyle. Like, what are

37
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.000
they doing on a day-to-day life? Yeah. And making sure that whatever they buy fits the life that

38
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.600
they're living today. And not just like, oh, that looks really cool on a mannequin. How do you make money?

39
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:18.960
Port and question. Yeah. So onboarding package that I mentioned, $8,500. That's over the course of 60 days.

40
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:25.760
Then it goes into either monthly at 2K a month or quarterly at 4,500 or quarter. And then right now,

41
00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:33.280
we also make about 10% of our revenue from commission from close. We get about 10% margins from the vendors

42
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.080
that we work with. Okay. And right now, we just actually focused on having just this luxury tier.

43
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.200
In the past, we had two different tiers and we focused more on one time. And you realize you make

44
00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:49.600
more money on the luxury tier. So you do more of that. Yeah. Love it. So how do you get the customers?

45
00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:54.960
Where do you find them? So right now, we're doing ad words. We're spending about 300 month with Google.

46
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.520
And then we're also spending about 300 month with thumbtack. Okay. We also partner, we have

47
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:05.280
affiliates with other luxury like services, like matchmakers and things like that. We host events.

48
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.040
And then also, of course, client referrals. Do you know what percentage of customers come from each of

49
00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.040
this? Roughly. So, yeah. If you don't know worries. Four are coming from affiliates. Okay.

50
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.960
I think about a third is coming from the other two. And then a third is coming from

51
00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:24.800
or parts. So kind of like evenly split between referrals. Would you consider affiliates referrals

52
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.640
or now? No, I kind of segment those out. Okay. So referrals is one affiliates is another than paid ads

53
00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:35.680
between thumbtack and Google. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Okay. So how many people do you sell a month?

54
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.840
Right now, we're looking at about 12 total leads, eight appointments, 100% show for those appointments,

55
00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:48.720
total sales for. So close rates, 50%, show rates 100%. 40 clients currently and one churned

56
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.280
in the last year. Okay. So you still, so these 40 clients still pay you monthly? These are active.

57
00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:00.880
Yeah. Okay. So they're coming in from different timelines. So summer monthly, summer quarterly,

58
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.320
summer annually, just from different package testing. Okay. So we're going to probably talk about

59
00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:09.920
that in a second. The four clients thing because I think you probably have a big revenue opportunity

60
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.080
there. Okay. So what's the goal? What do you want to do? All right. So you know, just the easy

61
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:19.360
five million revenue. Why not? And really, I think what we can do is because it's easy for me to get

62
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.040
stylus to train them is to build like an education component. Just like a totally different business.

63
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:32.000
I know. Yeah. But have stylus and major metros. Okay. So, so have stylus and other

64
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.400
metros and then the long term is to be able to create a training program for them. Like super

65
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:41.440
long term. Like super, super long term. Super, super long term. Like next lifetime. Oh.

66
00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:47.280
I'm just messing with you. But fundamentally for this business, the goal is five million doing

67
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:51.600
what you currently do or a scaled up version of what you do. Yes. Correct. Okay. And in other

68
00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:56.320
major metros. Yeah. No, that's cool. That makes sense. What's the problem? What's getting

69
00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:02.960
you right? Leads. Okay. We need lead flow. We need more of them consistently and we just we need

70
00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:08.560
more at bats. Yeah. So that's really what it is. And also I haven't been able to be as consistent

71
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.480
with content creation. And I think there's opportunity miss there. Okay. All right. So show me the numbers.

72
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:21.760
So 309 in total revenue. 130 in profit. 42% net margin. Blended cack of 600.

73
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:30.000
LTV is 10k annually. So that gives us a 16 to one LTV to cack ratio. 600 in marketing spend

74
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:37.920
show rates 100% close rates 50. Okay. Got it. There you go. Okay. So Google we're looking at 3400

75
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:44.240
for the year for 2024. Cost per click. $1.89 total clicks. 1800. Do you know what words

76
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.400
you're bidding for? Yeah. So like personal stylists near me, Los Angeles personal stylists.

77
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.520
Do you have prices on the site? When they click where they click does it show your prices or is it

78
00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:59.920
just like an often paid? I do not show prices. Okay. Is it just like an often page? It's just an

79
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:04.560
often page. Do you know how many leads you get from this source? I know you get eight sales, right?

80
00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:09.200
Oh, how many leads? Yeah. And I'll tell you why I'm asking. I'm asking because when I see 1800

81
00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:13.920
clicks, I'm like, that's a lot of clicks. So your cost per click is great. Yeah. And so I'd be like,

82
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.760
okay. And especially with intent based search rather than interruption based marketing, like social

83
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:20.640
media ads is like interruption, but you're not looking for a stylist. You see an ad then you click

84
00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:24.000
versus like, I am looking for a stylist like intent based click is usually much hard quality.

85
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.440
I would be surprised if you were getting, I mean, unless there was a massive mismatch in terms of

86
00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:34.480
what you're asking people to opt in for. Between 1800 clicks, I would guess you're getting

87
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:40.480
somewhere they would have at least, you know, 250 to 500 opt-ins. That would come. Does that sound?

88
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:49.520
So 250 just for context. So divided by 12. So you'd be looking at, what is that? 20 a month

89
00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:53.760
ish. Okay. Does that sound realistic or does it sound like less than that? Well, so right now,

90
00:07:53.760 --> 00:07:58.080
that's leads. Yeah. The funnel is, it's just like book a call and I think that that's just straight

91
00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:03.600
to book a call. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I think that that's their video. That's being implemented

92
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:08.960
right now. Okay. Okay. But I think that that's the big problem. It's just like, okay. And you

93
00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:15.520
don't give them anything, right? There's no reason for them to opt in. We're going to make you so

94
00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:22.480
much money. Yeah. Nice thing is like these, yeah, it'll be fun. Okay. So despite like basically

95
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:27.760
no incentive for someone to actually book a call, you're still making eight sales. And so I think

96
00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:31.840
that what's happening right now is that like you the shop rate and the close rates you have aren't

97
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:36.000
doing it like you're just basically skimming the absolute people who are like are in such a

98
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.920
dire vein and they don't and you don't know them because they're coming from ads, right? Right.

99
00:08:39.920 --> 00:08:43.840
Right. Like if you're if you're in that situation, then like this may sound exciting for you,

100
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.080
but like you could probably five to 10X the sales of the business just by fixing this.

101
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.080
But we do nothing else. You could just do that. Just just get into that in a second. But okay.

102
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.680
The good news is that even with the massive amount of it is inefficiency that's there,

103
00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:00.800
your altibiotic acts are really strong. So it's really good. And I think we're just losing it.

104
00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:04.640
We're just leaking a lot in the in this process. Okay. Show me the temp temp one.

105
00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:09.440
Okay. Also people that are in pain right now because they know that they're searching for it.

106
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.800
Yeah. So 6K total spend. So we have leads here. Okay.

107
00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:16.080
38 leads. 38 bucks a lead. Total sales eight.

108
00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:25.920
750 same LTV. Okay. Thing is thumbtack is like 90 to 95% unqualified in terms of purchasing power.

109
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.760
So we were able to, you know, rank higher for SEO. Okay.

110
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:36.560
Through this page. Uh huh. Through your thumbtack page that you then pay extra to promote.

111
00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:40.720
Yeah. On thumbtack. Okay. Cool. Got it. I mean 38 bucks at least not bad.

112
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.520
I'm giving the price point that you have. Right. But the issue is that they are unqualified.

113
00:09:45.520 --> 00:09:51.680
And so the nice thing here is that it might just be changing the headline of whatever the

114
00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:57.600
page that you're promoting is. And again, adding some qualifications to the lead form so that you

115
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.160
can immediately see. So like underneath of this as you get like, I'd say more advanced.

116
00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:06.080
Yeah. There's total, there's total leads and then you'll have something called mqls on sql.

117
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.720
So mqls will be marketing qualified leads and then sales qualified leads.

118
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.040
Okay. And so an mql is like, okay, in order for somebody to be mql, they must meet these

119
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:20.000
requirements. So it's like I got 158 opt-ins of the 158 opt-ins. 50 of them have an income above

120
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.800
a hundred thousand dollars a year or are, you know, a man with a corporate job. Like we have to

121
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:29.280
just figure out with the fewest, the fewest base yet. And we'll, we'll, we'll cover that. So

122
00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:36.800
do you actually do have a minimum income requirement? So I would say for this new model, a million.

123
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:45.040
A year in income? Yeah. Okay. So yeah. So this is definitely a top 1% because 8500 plus what is,

124
00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:49.520
like it's about 25k all in for the service. The other, the thing is they have to have money for

125
00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:56.640
the clothes as well. Yeah. So you're looking at about a 40, 50k. Well, let's just even say 25k

126
00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:04.000
year spend in clothes. Average Joe Schmok cannot do. Yeah. And then is there a specific like life

127
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.840
event or something that happens that triggers people into like getting, at a getting into this

128
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:14.960
buying cycle? Yeah. So it is typically a transition moment. I had a baby. My body has changed.

129
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:20.000
None of my clothes fit. That's for women. I got divorced. Both men and women. Or I'm just,

130
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:25.840
I'm getting, I want to start dating period. My image doesn't match my status as a sea level person

131
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:33.680
or even VP. Yeah. So that's me. Those are the typical triggers. Okay. Yeah. I feel triggered.

132
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:37.760
No, you're good. Okay. So that's the thumbback data. Is that the last slide?

133
00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:47.200
Oh, there's a bonus. Is it for later? Numbers question. Well, I have already a handful of ideas

134
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:54.880
around what we, what we can do. Tell me more about the affiliate side. The, the, the

135
00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:58.480
manager because you've got, I've got, I get both of these, these, I understand the referral side,

136
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.960
I understand both your paid acquisition parts. I think the continuity is lacking. We can work on

137
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.840
that. I think there's inefficiency add funnel. We'll talk about that. But I think affiliates

138
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:12.160
is kind of the last piece before we dive into like figuring out what we're going to do. Okay.

139
00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:19.360
So affiliates, you're asking. Basically, they, it's just like a lead pass through. So they make

140
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:24.640
the introduction and we offer a complimentary style assessment to help them get their dating profiles

141
00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:30.000
ready. And it's really just a glorified sales call. Okay. Yeah. And so you have these, how many

142
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.480
matchmakers do you have who refer you customer from a regular basis? So combination of private

143
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:42.400
social club and matchmakers, we have about six. Okay. How did you find them? Googling them and

144
00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:46.640
reaching, but you reached out and did it that way. Mm-hmm. And what percentage do they send you?

145
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:52.560
What's that? What percentage of your businesses do those six kind of affiliates send you?

146
00:12:52.560 --> 00:13:02.240
So as of this year, it's about a third. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Cool. It's because it's like

147
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:08.160
very aligned audiences. They're literally already buying the types of services related to what you

148
00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:14.400
want. Yeah. Pretty much. Okay. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I feel like I'm pretty clear on what you said.

149
00:13:14.400 --> 00:13:20.080
Okay. Yeah. It's probably very simple for you. No, no, it's good. No, this is great. So you

150
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.880
want to make five million, right? Yeah. And we're at 300. So that's a 17X from where you're

151
00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:29.280
currently at, right? If we were to just triple and get to a million this year, would you be okay

152
00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:33.440
with that? Totally down. Cool. Because then going from a triple to a five X from there, it's like

153
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.040
a little bit, I think, I think because the thing is, the business will usually change. There's

154
00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:41.760
something called the Chinese rule of three and 10, which fundamentally just means that assistance

155
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.240
break when they triple. And so I like to think in in triples in terms of unless there's some massive

156
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.560
order of magnitude change that we can do. But the things that we have right now, a handful of

157
00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:54.560
these are triples independently. First thing I want to talk about is going to be the avatar is

158
00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:58.160
getting clarity on who you are going to serve. Because right now you serve a lot of people not to

159
00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:02.640
say that this is a bad thing. But I think over time, we are going to get narrower so that we can

160
00:14:02.640 --> 00:14:07.040
make our value proposition a little bit more compelling for them. Okay. The next is going to be paid

161
00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:12.080
ads funnel, which we're going to look at the pages. And we're going to look at the offers so that

162
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.200
we can see, okay, can we tweak something? We add a lead magnet here that would get the right people

163
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.200
and work off the bad ones. And it's kind of some processing so we can do that. Just we'll stop the

164
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:25.040
leakage. The third piece is still acquisitions. It'll be affiliates that I want to cover. And then

165
00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:30.880
the fourth, what I want to hit on is continuity. And so those are the big four that I want to hit on.

166
00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:34.880
We can talk about the corporate thing that you mentioned in between. My initial gut reaction is

167
00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:38.720
not yet. But because the thing is it's like if we can get to a million probably, we can probably

168
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.760
give them the things that I think that we're going to uncover here. You could probably get to like

169
00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:45.520
two-ish, two to three, just from some of the things that we're going to show you in a second.

170
00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:49.360
Cool. Okay. Then maybe you get to there. You're at three. You might be like, wow,

171
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.680
what if I just kept doing this? Yeah. Rather than the other thing. Okay. Okay. So,

172
00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:57.440
avatar clarity. Do you have any idea if there are some customers that are like,

173
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.840
wait, better than others so that you enjoy working with them or like what's your dream customer?

174
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.000
Who are the people who spend the most money with you that you help the most?

175
00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:09.360
Can I just like ramble off of who they are? Okay. So stay at home, mom. Okay.

176
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.200
Frequent traveler. Kids with many social events.

177
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:19.440
Mom who has kids with many social events. Yeah. Okay. Like mom. One daughter just got married.

178
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.520
Okay. Son is having a baby, that kind of thing. So usually mom, so it's mom, right? So there's

179
00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:28.080
kids obviously because it's mom. Okay. Got it. There's a few of these women. Plus money. Got it.

180
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:34.080
And they just want to have new outfits for all of their social lights. Social lights. Okay.

181
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:39.120
Got it. But private, not public people. Yeah. Yeah. I understand. Okay. So mom social lights.

182
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:47.920
Is that the number one in your favorite avatar? And then men, CEOs. Okay. By percentage of revenue,

183
00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:55.200
is it 50-50? Yeah. It is interesting. Okay. CEO, man. Huh. Do you ever get cross-sales? CEO,

184
00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:01.360
man gets wife. Wife. Wife starts or husband starts? Typically wife starts. Interesting. Okay.

185
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:08.880
Got it. That's, that's what. Okay. Okay. This is good. This is good for me to know for now. Okay. Now,

186
00:16:09.760 --> 00:16:14.320
paid ads, photo. First thing that we can do on this one is, and obviously this isn't, I mean,

187
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.720
you could, okay, there's a lot of things here. But wherever you're driving your traffic to,

188
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.800
so whether it's the homepage or it's this page, you should probably have some big lead magnet

189
00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:28.720
that people are going to want. I would imagine that what's something that somebody like that would

190
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.520
want a lot. So that's been my thing after reading offers and thinking about a lead magnet. It's like,

191
00:16:33.520 --> 00:16:37.200
what appeals to these people? And they don't want to sit there and like get a checklist of how to go

192
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.240
through their closet themselves. Yeah. So the only thing I could think of, and this isn't very

193
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.960
scalable, is the complimentary style assessment. That's the one I want with somebody. And that's okay,

194
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.480
though, because I mean, you're still getting them to more of them to opt in. But right now,

195
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:56.400
is the assessment the thing that they're booking on the Google Ads page today? It's just a call.

196
00:16:56.400 --> 00:17:01.840
Okay. So it's not being positioned as that. Yeah. So for like the, the 1.0 version is

197
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:10.320
style assessment is what you can basically promise them on the landing page. But I was thinking

198
00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:17.200
more something like really tactical, like the perfect outfit for you, like one perfect outfit or

199
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:22.480
something to match their skin to like your idea of colors. Like that would be a cool one. Because

200
00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:25.840
like that doesn't, you have to like put a whole thing together. It's just like, oh, this skin can,

201
00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:30.480
you know, there's like 10 tones and you just pick the one that's appropriate for them. Yeah.

202
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.080
Okay. So we were going to, we were going to do that next and also something else. We were going

203
00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:40.480
to do the one perfect outfit, but it's kind of so nuanced. But then we were thinking, okay,

204
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.120
what if we just share with them? Hey, here's how, what are some of the steps that they do to prepare

205
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:49.840
to, if they were to work with us? How are they invested? So we're thinking like taking their

206
00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:56.160
measurements, having them do some of these steps, like creating a mood board themselves.

207
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.240
So we want them, so for a lead mech, to be really valuable, we want it to be risk-free, easy,

208
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:07.760
and fast. And so those things require effort. Okay. And so we don't want the avatar to work

209
00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:12.560
to get the value. We want them to just click and get the value. Okay. And so I think what we think

210
00:18:12.560 --> 00:18:16.400
about is like, I like, I think this is actually really interesting. This is just me personally. So

211
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.880
maybe I'm a CEO, man. But it's like, there are some, some skin tones that combination,

212
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:25.680
basically it's like, you have a combination of hair and skin tone and eye color that is unique to

213
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.960
you. And between all these different permeations, there's a hundred different variations people

214
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.200
can have. And they have a different color palette that would be unique to them. Now you'll know

215
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.200
behind the scenes that there's probably like eight different, you know, color style or whatever.

216
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.960
I think either doing color, because that feels like the easiest one degree more nuanced than that

217
00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:46.080
would be a specific style, being like, you know, streetwear hip hop, like whatever you know I'm saying,

218
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:50.720
like, you know that better than me. Yeah, professional, casual. Yeah, exactly. And so I think that

219
00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:55.120
this is like, you could do this tomorrow to change anything despite repositioning Elite Magnet.

220
00:18:55.120 --> 00:18:59.840
But I think this one would be really attractive, especially if you, like, when you push them there,

221
00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:02.880
I would experiment with the different headlines there. And then we need to measure the

222
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.640
conversion rate of the page and know that you've turned them down. The interesting thing here is like

223
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.640
1800 clicks, I think we could be able to get somewhere in the neighborhood of like if we're doing

224
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:16.880
this right, like 500 leads from that amount of spend. And just if literally we just need to nail

225
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:24.400
this, because on a Google ad, like high intent search like this, you should be able to get like 30

226
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:31.040
percent of people out there. So from a benchmark perspective to something that is right for this

227
00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:35.600
audience. So if someone's looking for personal silos near me or personal size LA, then it's like,

228
00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:39.520
what is the first piece? And like I always think about like our offer is you've got all these steps

229
00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:43.760
that someone has to take. Can I peel off the first one? Even though it's something that I normally

230
00:19:43.760 --> 00:19:48.240
charge for, what's my actual cost? It's going to be time. Can I template some of these things out so

231
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:53.360
that I can still provide a lot of value, but not have it take too much of my personal time? And

232
00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:58.000
the cool thing with these, like kind of like more costly or unskellable Elite Magnets is that you

233
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:03.600
only have to give it to people who are qualified. So you are not obligated to like you can choose to

234
00:20:03.760 --> 00:20:07.520
do this only if someone meets these qualifications and you just say that on the landing page. So it's

235
00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:11.760
like, hey, if you're a mom with kids and a socialite or you're a CEO guy and you're not getting

236
00:20:12.560 --> 00:20:17.520
what you want, then it gets one of our style assessments where we'll go through personally your

237
00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:21.440
skin tone, your hair color, your eye color, and find the things that will immediately make you look

238
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.520
better just with the interexisting closet. Because that's like again, they don't have to do anything

239
00:20:25.520 --> 00:20:29.360
and they'll immediately look better. That's like immediate value, not a lot of work. So I'd be like,

240
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.360
okay, that's what we're going to offer. So now I can get more people to apply. Now they're going to

241
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:36.320
fill out their stuff. And again, if they're not qualified, it's a way you didn't read the headlines,

242
00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:39.440
they don't worry about it. So you don't feel like you're, and then for them, I would probably just send

243
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:44.240
them some free things that they feel, you know, they still give them something. But that would be

244
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.400
like the thing that I would do to improve the funnel right off the bat without really even seeing

245
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:55.040
the funnel is a clear headline around what they're going to get sub headline is either an image of

246
00:20:55.840 --> 00:21:01.920
almost like a before and after style or some sort of image that shows, you know, white skin, brown

247
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:07.200
hair, don't do this. And then they're like, oh shoot, I do that. And so just like a simple thing

248
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.720
that they're like, shoot, I do that. And then they're like, oh my god, I need help. And so all we're

249
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.200
doing is increasing deprivation so that they take the next action. Okay. So that would be the lead

250
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:20.960
magic component that I would do for these paid ads. Now I think that you have the scheduler.

251
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:27.840
So they apply it, then they schedule, then what's the follow-up sequence? Like how do you, like,

252
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:34.000
because they're so few, I just manually say, hey, and I try to like, do you reach out to them?

253
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:39.920
But yeah, but they self-schedule on the page, right? Well, that's if they apply for more information,

254
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:45.520
if they schedule the call, then I send them, hey, here's our services, looking forward to speaking

255
00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:52.320
with you. Got it. So I know you're going to put the video together. Yeah. There's the video before

256
00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:57.200
the call that gets them to book. And then I would probably consider sending them a second video

257
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.360
between booking and showing. Okay. And then that does a little bit of the presale for you.

258
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.320
And I think about this in terms of like, what are those things that you repeat on a regular basis

259
00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:09.760
on the call? So there's usually like, in every call, there's kind of like a little bit of a

260
00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:13.360
sales pitch that occurs where you're like, okay, so let me tell you what we do. I just try to put

261
00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:18.400
as much of that before the call so that I can spend the majority of the call on the person,

262
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:23.120
the decision-making process, rather than basically have this like pre-recorded script that I have to

263
00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:27.040
put in the memory because it tires out you, tires out your sales team eventually. That's how I would

264
00:22:27.040 --> 00:22:31.200
try to do it. Okay. I think that if we can do the lead magnet, we can capture any more leads.

265
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:36.640
I think if we add the video to the landing page, so... Do you think it makes sense to put a pricing

266
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.880
on the page now? No, I don't think so. I think that if we ask for qualifications and we describe

267
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:46.240
the services, that'll give us 80%, and then basically you just want to find... Because the things

268
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.840
is like, you don't want to disqual, because there's some people who will be in, who have a smaller

269
00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:53.760
income, but really want this. Yeah. And so it's finding kind of that sweet spot, which is like,

270
00:22:53.760 --> 00:22:57.280
if someone then says like, I want to start immediately, I'm super open, and they're budgets like

271
00:22:57.280 --> 00:23:01.120
media, then you probably take the call, right? If they're like, my budget's zero, then like, okay,

272
00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:04.560
what does it matter? How much do you want it? It's not going to work, right? I think that on your

273
00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:08.080
qualification question, which you'll have on your scheduler, we just ask for the few amount of

274
00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:11.440
questions that are required for us to make the decision of whether or not they should stay around.

275
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.040
What would you... So the way I would think through this is that I'm going to have like 10 templates

276
00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:19.520
that I know that are color palette that work for these 10, you know, characteristic people.

277
00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:23.680
And if I have asked their skin hair whatever up front, and I know what I'm going into the call,

278
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.800
which template I'm going to be using when I talk to them. So it's like, hey, oh, you're a blah, blah, blah.

279
00:23:28.800 --> 00:23:32.240
Actually, you know what? I would describe you more as an olive than white, and I think this might

280
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.080
actually be a better thing for you. Cool. Okay. And then you go into your normal sales process,

281
00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:39.200
which obviously works. I don't know. We want to talk about sales skater closing desi percent.

282
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:43.440
Okay. Does that make sense? That want to make sure that... Well, I just want to make sure that like,

283
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:49.760
they... Because right now it's like local calls, a sales call basically, and that's like obvious what

284
00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:55.760
I'm speaking about. But then this feels like, oh, we just have a call about skin tone. What does this

285
00:23:55.760 --> 00:24:02.160
say? Yeah. And then it's not an issue because they're already qualified. You're only taking the calls

286
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.240
of people who have income. Right. That makes sense? Yeah. So you're going to take more calls. You're

287
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:11.520
also going to hear more knows, but you're going to make more money. Hey guys, real quick, this podcast

288
00:24:11.520 --> 00:24:14.720
only grows from word of mouth quite literally. There's no other way to grow pockets in word of mouth.

289
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.720
If there's some element of this that you think somebody else should hear or be relevant to them,

290
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.440
it would mean the world to me. If you shared this via text, via Instagram, via DM, via whatever way

291
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:30.160
you like to share stuff with people you love. Thank you. Like, fundamentally, I could just say like,

292
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:35.040
I could run an ad that just said, hey, I have this really expensive thing, book here if you want it,

293
00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:39.520
and this is the price. And the people who opt on those calls will be incredibly qualified. But if I

294
00:24:39.520 --> 00:24:43.120
just said, I have this really free amazing thing that I'll be with the first problem, let me help you

295
00:24:43.120 --> 00:24:48.160
with that. And then people are like, oh, but do you do any of, ah, you know what? I do do that stuff.

296
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.680
It's so funny you ask. And I get 10 times the calls. And so if I close 30% of a 10x number,

297
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:57.200
I still close three times the deals. Okay. So that makes sense. Yeah. And so there's a little bit,

298
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.120
now part of it is because you're selling out of your own wallet in terms of time. Yeah. And so

299
00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:05.040
it's because you're like, I had my time and I understand that. But all we have to do is just tweak

300
00:25:05.040 --> 00:25:08.560
these things. If you have somebody who you have the information about them, you have the income.

301
00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:13.520
I mean, I can really just train somebody to just do it live. As many things as possible, you can do,

302
00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:18.960
like, we want to decrease the friction here for qualified people. Right. So there's good friction,

303
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:24.240
bad friction. So good friction is something that increases the overall quality of the lead and gets

304
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:30.160
out people who suck. Bad friction gets everyone out. A slow page load time, for example,

305
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.200
right? Everyone leaves. Good people and bad people. We want to get the type of friction that

306
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.440
only bad people leave and good people stay. And so if we have budget authority need timing,

307
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.200
we have the specific things relative to the lead magnet, then you're followed. If you want, like,

308
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.320
hey, if you can send me a picture, be great. If not, I can just go off of your Facebook profile,

309
00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:47.840
something like that. Then they show up to the call. You have your one of 10 plates that you already

310
00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:52.160
figured out ahead of time. That then sets up the sale, which is for you. It's like, oh, you don't

311
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.040
have this, this, this, and this. All we're doing is expanding the gap of like, you're here. You

312
00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:58.400
want to be here. Oh, you're missing all this stuff. Oh, you know what? So funny. I think you'd be

313
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:02.720
perfect fit for we have to tell you about it. And then you're it. Got it. Makes sense? Yeah.

314
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:08.480
Okay. So this is what I would do to change the paid ads funnel. And I think this will probably

315
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:14.880
apply for both thumbtack. And can you spend more on this? Yeah. Well, I'm like, dude, if you get,

316
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.120
if I had a machine in front of me where you, and this is without you doing any of this,

317
00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:23.040
that's the crazy thing. That's without you doing any of this. Right. So if I said, okay,

318
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:30.320
instead of paying $3400 a year, what if we paid like $3400 a month? Yeah. Well, that would

319
00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:35.120
12 extra business. That'd be chill. Right. Yeah. I mean, it beats the S&amp;P 500 where you put a dollar

320
00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:40.400
and it gets $23 back within the next week. It's not bad. Right. So the next thing that I want to go

321
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.400
over is the affiliates because I think that's really important. You would not touch Facebook ads.

322
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.280
Well, you already have an acquisition channel that's working and super profitable. So I'm

323
00:26:47.280 --> 00:26:53.520
less likely to want to do that now. Okay. So because you can spend more if you want to. All right,

324
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:59.120
let's talk about the affiliates. So matchmakers. Yes. Okay. So you have six matchmakers right now.

325
00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:07.760
Four matchmakers to private clubs. Okay. So I'll go, I mean, whatever. It doesn't matter. Yeah,

326
00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:11.840
you're good. Okay. So you got six affiliates. How much time did it take you to get each of these

327
00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:17.760
affiliates? Not much time. Okay. And each of these sends you people on a consistent basis. Yeah.

328
00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:23.680
What was the process that you did to integrate with them? I met with the owner and it's

329
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:28.640
so you did outreach to get them. Manual outreach. Okay. Is it like phone calls, text, email, DM?

330
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:35.280
Email. Okay. Manual outreach explains that we can offer a complimentary service to their new

331
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:41.840
clients. Oh cool. And you know, we could close them. Love this. Almost like it's directly out of

332
00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:46.720
the affiliate section in the book. And that's it. And then they would. And what percentage do you close

333
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:52.400
the people that you talk to? That's been the hard part is like talking, getting them. Okay.

334
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:58.960
Do you know how many outreach attempts you did to get to the sex? Probably about 40. Okay. And

335
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.080
I want to paint something for you because I think it's going to be interesting. Okay. So you send

336
00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:07.840
40 emails and you were able to close six, right? Yeah. Okay. Now how much money do those six?

337
00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:11.520
So it's a third of your revenue, right? So it's a hundred thousand dollars a year roughly. Okay.

338
00:28:11.520 --> 00:28:18.240
So think about this. So every one of these emails need you $2,500. That feels like pretty good turn.

339
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:25.840
Yeah. For sending emails, probably copy and paste. Right. Hmm. Hmm. Do more of them. I've

340
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:32.480
wilded it. What if we sent 400 emails? Yeah. I don't even want to mess with the affiliate process

341
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.120
that you have right now. Yeah. You're reaching out manually is obviously effective. You sent out

342
00:28:37.120 --> 00:28:42.240
40 emails. So I'd be like, okay, how do I send like and that like if you did that for four hours

343
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.960
every day. Right. That I mean, you'd probably be able to send even if you did them completely

344
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:50.320
personalized, completely manual, the way that you probably did, you don't have to buy any software.

345
00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:56.320
Like you can just send the emails. You'd be able to do that in like a week or two weeks.

346
00:28:56.320 --> 00:29:01.600
You want to spread it out. It's like not a lot. So 14 days, what's 400 by by 14? You know,

347
00:29:01.600 --> 00:29:05.200
we'll give you that we'll give you the weekends off. So it's 40 emails a day.

348
00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:09.120
40 emails. I'll give it to you in a month. How about that? So we'll do 20 emails a day.

349
00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:14.080
20 emails a day. That feels like that feels reasonable. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Let's do that.

350
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:21.120
Best place to like pull data. Good question. Because I think it's it's the matchmakers,

351
00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:27.760
but it's also could be executive coaches. Could be high-end fitness trainers. Yeah.

352
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:33.760
People going through a transformation. Yeah. They need they need. Yeah. For sure. I would think about,

353
00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:38.560
I think you have these in segments, right? And so you've got high-end trainers, high-end

354
00:29:38.560 --> 00:29:42.960
PT's. You've got exact coach. You've got the dating people. You've got I'll give you one

355
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.600
divorce attorneys. So that's four lists. Now the thing is is that you can actually find all of these.

356
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:55.680
These ones you can find probably from Google. This you can find also from search and Instagram.

357
00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:00.080
And there's also like list brokers. So you just like Google list broker or whatever city. And then

358
00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:03.440
you can usually they'll have this massive nationalist. And then you can pull it it down to

359
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:12.720
a localized area. Can you do any remote services? Yeah. We definitely would say 50% up like

360
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:19.280
especially during COVID. We only work virtually. But I prefer that's fine. That's cool. Okay. So

361
00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:26.480
this obviously makes money and doesn't require any financial risk. Yeah. And is also a compounding

362
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:32.080
way of acquiring customers because you did this work think about this. You send 40 emails one time.

363
00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:37.760
And then you got six people to send you business for good. Not bad. Now what do you do to continue

364
00:30:37.760 --> 00:30:43.760
to reactivate them? Host events. Okay. So you do events. Okay. So for the affiliates. Yep.

365
00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:48.800
Okay. Cool. I mean like especially for like the matchmakers they're happy because their clients

366
00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:53.600
are getting me over. They get better pictures. Therefore they get better matches. Uh-huh.

367
00:30:54.560 --> 00:30:59.920
So I love that. Yeah. Really good. So I think do you do that like regularly like it's on a calendar

368
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:03.360
or it's just like okay good because that's obviously that's why it's part of why it's working because

369
00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:06.880
normally one of the things that that falls off in the affiliates is that they don't stay activated.

370
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.560
They don't keep referring you. Yeah. And she have to like work them like customers like it's another set

371
00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:15.760
of relationships. Yeah. But if you can put them all together in an event on a regular cadence where like

372
00:31:15.760 --> 00:31:18.960
all of the dating coaches bring all of their people and they all look good and they all get to

373
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:24.080
meet each other like that's value for everybody. It hasn't quite turned out like that. Okay. But just

374
00:31:24.080 --> 00:31:30.160
like more one off. Okay. Like hosting events with just one of them. Okay. Let's sell that works.

375
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.120
Yeah. Yeah. And I think if you do like one or two of those a year or three of those a year I think

376
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:37.280
that's like more than enough to keep the black today. Right. And I would I would try and figure out a way

377
00:31:37.280 --> 00:31:43.120
to put them in the same room just because I think it'd be like I would be pitching on collaboration

378
00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:47.440
rather than competition which is just like hey you have single people so today maybe they can

379
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:50.960
that's true actually. Yeah they're all single. Yeah. They're all single and obviously looking

380
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:56.560
to mingle and looking for their best life like it also be desperation city anyway. So that's

381
00:31:56.560 --> 00:32:00.320
so that's the affiliate piece. Okay. And so in terms of lists I would go list brokers and then

382
00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:04.320
I would sort and that sort social media and Google first that'd be like my first thing and then

383
00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:08.560
I would look at list brokers once I ran out of this. Okay. But between like these four sources you

384
00:32:08.560 --> 00:32:13.600
need to send 400 emails. It's not bad bad. And then what's crazy is like if you send it and then

385
00:32:13.600 --> 00:32:18.400
they don't respond you can send it again. Next one's continuity. So let's talk about that. Okay. So

386
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:22.880
this is about increasing LTV. So you already have pretty good LTV but I have this feeling like there's

387
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:29.360
something that we can do better. Okay. So right now LTV is $10,000 right? So walk me through so if

388
00:32:29.360 --> 00:32:36.880
someone comes in so I come in I'll see you up $8,500 I pay you for my whole lookbook etc. Transformation.

389
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:41.520
Yep. Okay. And so the delivery of that transformation is like a lookbook primarily and then like

390
00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:46.000
when you walk me through it a little more. No. So this assessment figure out where we're going to go

391
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.640
with your style, your look, then going through your current closet. Right. Getting rid of all the old

392
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:55.120
stuff. You actually go to their house. Yes. Okay. Get rid of all the old stuff. Okay.

393
00:32:55.120 --> 00:33:00.320
Reorganize the closet so that it makes it works for their life. Okay. So closet, tear it down. Yep.

394
00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:05.200
And then we document. Uh-huh. We do an inventory of everything in their closet. So that way when they

395
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:10.800
text us or they say, hey, I'm going to turkish into K-coast. Hey, great. Pull this, pull this, pull this. Uh-huh.

396
00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:16.320
And we can give it to their housekeeper or whatever. Here's your vacuum list. Okay. Then we get

397
00:33:16.320 --> 00:33:22.160
new outfits, new clothes. Right now our promise is about five to ten new outfits. Okay.

398
00:33:23.040 --> 00:33:27.680
We don't want to get the whole new wardrobe. Right. But you know enough to like, okay, I'm excited.

399
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:33.520
I feel good. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And then that's when we make the determination. Okay. Does this make

400
00:33:33.520 --> 00:33:38.240
sense giving your lifestyle you travel all the time on a monthly level or a quarterly level? Yeah.

401
00:33:38.800 --> 00:33:42.640
Yeah, in terms of the continuity. Yeah. Well, do you have a turn on the continuity? Do a lot of people

402
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:47.520
so people stay and they keep paying? If it's in front of these people, not the one-time people,

403
00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:52.800
these people, they don't. And what was the one-time thing? So it was priced at 3,500. Uh-huh.

404
00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:57.120
And you just did this but then didn't have anything else? Yeah. Okay. And it was, um, it could be all

405
00:33:57.120 --> 00:34:01.280
virtually. Oh, okay. Or it could just be like a one-day shopping. It's way better to a person.

406
00:34:01.280 --> 00:34:06.320
It's a different relationship. Yeah. Yeah. No, I like that. I'm a fan. Okay. So and then the ongoing

407
00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:14.880
price point is what? On the back end. Uh, 2k per month. Per month. For 4,500. So 8500 and then

408
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:19.840
$2,000 per month. So, so we should be at now. I'm guessing that you have a lot of grandfathered

409
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.040
people of those 40 customers that are paying less than that. Yeah. Okay. What are they paying?

410
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.960
1,500 per month. Yeah. For a week or per month. Okay. So it's like, wow. Okay. Okay.

411
00:34:31.600 --> 00:34:36.880
Summer on like 1,500 quarterly. Okay. Got it. Got it. I'm guessing the majority of them are 1,500

412
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.320
quarterly. Yeah. Okay. Got it. Because then it's 500 bucks a month. Because this is just all

413
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:44.560
transitioned in September. Got it. You only have like two people currently on the new system.

414
00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:50.240
Okay. So most people are at 1,500 dollars. So if you have call of 38 customers who are at,

415
00:34:50.240 --> 00:34:55.360
I'm just going to say in general, right, $500 per month. Because it's 1,500 quarter. I'm just

416
00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:59.360
still getting a revenue. Yeah. Okay. Because this now makes us with the revenue that you're doing.

417
00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:04.160
Okay. Right. Cool. So the vast majority of the money is actually in a recurring revenue base.

418
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.320
That's not bad. That's good. Yeah. That's really good. And the churns love to all that stuff's good.

419
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.520
I actually don't really want to mess with this that much because you have low churn.

420
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:16.720
What's the percentage people go from here to here? Um, now that I've just said, hey, we're only

421
00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:21.920
working with you on a reoccurring basis. It's, it's good. Right. Um, the thing is, I'm almost

422
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:26.640
wondering if I said that. I'm almost wondering if we kill this and just do the quarterly. Because

423
00:35:27.520 --> 00:35:32.480
this seems to be not most people. Okay. Do you think that it's better to simplify things or just

424
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.920
still keep it? No, I think you can have it. What happens is it serves as a price anchor.

425
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.720
Okay. So even if only 10% of people take it, it increases the people who take that one.

426
00:35:40.720 --> 00:35:44.160
Okay. So I don't think it's actually a mistake that it's there. Okay. Because if you're like,

427
00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:48.800
because they have the reaction, I'm like, $6,000 of a quarter of my Jesus, like, or just do 1500,

428
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:54.000
like, oh, no, that works. I'll do the $500. No, no, it's 2K a month or 4,500 a quarter.

429
00:35:54.640 --> 00:36:01.680
With this one. Yes. Okay. So you're saying at the, at the new price point. Yes. It's at this. Okay.

430
00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:04.880
But this is brand new. And here you have all the retention that you have.

431
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:11.280
Um, yeah. Okay. But you haven't had any issue ascending people into that into the $4,500 a quarter

432
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:16.480
either. I mean, the few that we've had now. It's the same take rate. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So I'm fine

433
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:20.080
with quarterly billing. Okay. So if you have monthly and quarterly, that's fine. Okay. I'm

434
00:36:20.080 --> 00:36:26.800
good with that. Yeah. So if it's now, um, to give more slash 4,500 per quarter, but even if like

435
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:31.680
90% opt into this versus this, it's still okay. Totally fine. Totally fine. That's great. No

436
00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:36.160
big deal. I feel comfortable with that, but I always let the market tell me. So like, I just keep

437
00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:39.680
I check out the price until people stop saying, yes. And then I'm like, okay, that's about right.

438
00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:42.560
So then you kind of back down a little bit and you're like, that's my price. Now I know that

439
00:36:42.560 --> 00:36:45.680
that's for these, for these types of people, that's the number that they're willing to pay.

440
00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:49.520
Unless we change the avatar of the marketing or the messaging, that's going to track these people

441
00:36:49.520 --> 00:36:53.600
on their own to say, I said that price. Okay. So from continuity perspective, I don't think we change

442
00:36:53.600 --> 00:36:59.200
that to them. We just changed it. So that stays the way it is. I think the $8,500, I know LTV's

443
00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:02.880
$10,000, but $8,500 for the turnaround and then you have the quarterly. And so this LTV that you

444
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.640
have here is probably going to go up. It'll just keep going up over time. Right. Okay. Great.

445
00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:13.360
So I mean, honestly, the the actual business is strong. Okay. So you have, um, good-ish margins,

446
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:20.800
42%, continuity has almost no churn. That's great. LTV hacks strong. And so the real leverage

447
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.920
with this business is that we just need to do more. Now you stopped spending money on ads. Why?

448
00:37:26.560 --> 00:37:29.840
Because we were adding the video and we were adding in the past. We were fixing that stuff first.

449
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:34.720
Yeah. Okay. Cool. So this is what we're going to do. Video sales letter, less lead magnet,

450
00:37:34.720 --> 00:37:39.280
plus the bit qualification. So much of the 30 you need timing. So that's number one. So once we fix that,

451
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:43.520
that's a that's a conversion mechanism. So then what I want you to do is increase your ad spend.

452
00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:48.720
And so currently you're spending $600, $300 a lot. Yeah. So why don't we just go to $600? How much

453
00:37:48.720 --> 00:37:52.480
actually, let me ask the question, how many can you handle? Like how many more leaves can you handle

454
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:58.480
than you currently are? More. Like how many more? Like that convert into new clients? Yeah. Well,

455
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:02.560
like how many calls, basically it's a call thing. So many calls to me to say, um, you're currently

456
00:38:02.560 --> 00:38:08.080
taking 12, right? Yeah. Easily could double or triple that. Okay. So let's go with, uh,

457
00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:11.760
600 and 900 per month, because sometimes the lead costs make up a little bit. And that's okay.

458
00:38:12.560 --> 00:38:15.760
Just like, so basically you make it a little bit less efficient, but that's fine because you're so,

459
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:22.320
you have really strong TVCax. It's not a big deal. All right. Number three is we need to send the

460
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.920
20 emails per day to fillets. So this is a big three. And then, um, I don't want to mess with

461
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:32.560
the continuity. So we got eight sales this year. So it's like one, like a little bit less than one

462
00:38:32.560 --> 00:38:39.520
a month, right? So I just wish I knew how many leads were coming from Google. I just really

463
00:38:39.520 --> 00:38:43.760
wish I knew that number. And those eight sales were those just like phone calls and closes. So

464
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:48.240
a 16 college created eight sales kind of thing. Yeah. Okay. And they were from the ads. They were

465
00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:54.640
from search. Got it. But then they clicked on your ad. All right. So you'll fix the funnel.

466
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.960
Yep. You with the attribution of tracking in place. I think the funnel lift could very well.

467
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:05.360
Like this is going to sound wild. This could somewhere they would have like two to five x the

468
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:11.440
leaflet. You have just doing this, especially with a good leaf magnet. Okay. Now, the next piece is

469
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:15.360
that each of your affiliates were a third of your revenue. And if we were to 10x that,

470
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.840
then we would 10x one third, which would be a triple. And so the result of a call to 2x,

471
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:27.680
a 2x and a 3x would be a 12x, which would take us from 300k per year to 3.6 million.

472
00:39:27.680 --> 00:39:37.120
So yeah. Okay. Questions. Yes. One thing we didn't talk about is brand. Okay. Well, content creation.

473
00:39:37.120 --> 00:39:44.480
Okay. So I have like, you know, I only bring this up because Ed was mentioning that I should consider

474
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:50.080
transitioning the page from AC styles to Ashley Caps. Okay. And going more of the personal

475
00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:56.320
brand route as for like the big top panel. Or do you think that doesn't matter? I mean,

476
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:59.840
it's not doing anything right now because I haven't invested into it, but I was planning on

477
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:03.680
investing. Well, like your Instagram and like all that stuff. Yeah. Well, I see, I see your

478
00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:09.360
Instagram because you're such a visual craft in terms of what you do. That it makes sense to post

479
00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:13.600
things is like, these things are just like, well, all immediately make you money. I think that

480
00:40:13.600 --> 00:40:17.200
that's absolutely a long-term plan. Think about this is like, this is like your paycheck,

481
00:40:17.200 --> 00:40:21.280
this stuff, like you do this, you'll immediately make more money. That is more like a 401k,

482
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:25.040
like an investment plan. So it's like, I'm going to put this money into this and it's going to take

483
00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:29.120
time to snowball. But over time, it'll eventually become so big that it'll be bigger than all this

484
00:40:29.120 --> 00:40:34.000
stuff. But you'll have to measure that in like a couple years more than a couple months. So I'm

485
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:38.240
all for it though to be clear because what a lot of people don't know is that like when you spend

486
00:40:38.240 --> 00:40:41.760
this money, when you do these emails, the first thing they're going to look at is your social media

487
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:46.560
stuff. And so I see that as like more lead nurture. And so like, it's like the invisible hand

488
00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:50.640
that all of a sudden like more people respond to emails. Like one of the things I didn't realize,

489
00:40:50.640 --> 00:40:54.640
like when I, because we do have on for our own stuff too, for like looking at deals and whatnot.

490
00:40:54.640 --> 00:40:59.200
Me having a personal brand just increased the response rate. People were like, oh, I've seen your stuff.

491
00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:02.240
Right. Or they took a look and like, oh, I've never heard of you, but this stuff looks really

492
00:41:02.240 --> 00:41:07.600
interesting. Yeah, I'll have to call whatever. And so that's kind of like it, it's a rising

493
00:41:07.600 --> 00:41:11.840
tie that lifts everything in terms of how brand works. But yeah, I think there's it's totally

494
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:14.560
fun to do that. I just want you to get obsessed with it. I want you to just make sure that you

495
00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:19.200
spent just basically block, I'd call it a half a day a week. Yeah. They're like, I'm just going to

496
00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:23.200
do content this morning, playing out my week, get the pieces that I want out, and then like the

497
00:41:23.200 --> 00:41:27.600
rest of the week got around the business. And focus on this. Yep. Now the only reason why I was

498
00:41:28.560 --> 00:41:32.880
like nervous to transition it from actually focusing on personal brand versus business brand is

499
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.200
because, you know, I was wanting to issue in the beginning of like, oh, well here, I'm not going

500
00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:42.000
to be working with you. I'm working with somebody else. Yeah. So that's the only reason why.

501
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:46.320
I mean, that's not a big deal. That's like a one line over time. So like if you go to Wells Fargo,

502
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:50.800
you're not expecting Wells Fargo or JP Morgan, you're not expecting JP Morgan. You go to

503
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:55.600
being McKinsey BC, like what BCG's boss and consulting. But like many professional firms look at

504
00:41:55.600 --> 00:42:01.280
every law firm, curts, curts and wild or whatever. Like they, it's not uncommon for a business to be

505
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:06.320
named after its founder and have many people underneath of it. Okay. So like I wouldn't like

506
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:11.440
tie, you know, Dyson, like there's just like so many brands are built off of the name of the founder

507
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:14.160
and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to work them. If anything all it does is just allows

508
00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:20.320
you to have premium on yours. Right. If you want to. So it's more like you can price here. And

509
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.520
then if someone's like, well, I want to work with juice. Like, oh, I'm, I'm premium. I only have,

510
00:42:23.520 --> 00:42:28.800
I have a few private clients that I take on and the people who have super money will just pay

511
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.720
whatever. And then you can just add a zero to your price tag and make that yours. Okay. That

512
00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:39.200
makes sense. Yeah. But yeah, I think if you go AC versus actually caps, I'm not. You don't feel

513
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:42.960
either way. I'm okay, either way. I mean, AC people are probably not if it's actually caps,

514
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:47.920
that's probably what it stands for. You probably have the same issue now with AC. Then you then you,

515
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:51.440
like, I don't think the name change is going to change anything. Okay. Yeah. But I do think

516
00:42:52.000 --> 00:43:01.920
branding personally is good. I know. Okay.
