Anybody want to jump in each other's groups so we're not starting with empty groups when we're doing could outreach and getting them to join? @Nick Bandy made a sheet - just add yourself to everybody's group and throw a link to your own. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kcvCHJoGPtKGGMl-F9J7WaOI7Wx411ahaSza0WwZuQc/edit?usp=sharing Leave a comment after so folks know there's a new group to support.

The Giving FUNnel is the gift that keeps on giving… :-) Last week I slurped virtual coffee with a German Option investment enthusiast with a free Skool group and a few backend offers. Based on the value, he’s giving away his shit for waaaay too little. (“We trade live together until you make at least 5K in net profit” group calls for 499 -> 10x ROI for participants ) I think he’s a great guy and would make an awesome partner with lots of potential... Anyhow he was also very intrigued but was concerned how his (somewhat “conservative”) audience would react… He wanted to sleep it over… told him “sure, don’t rush it - I’m in no hurry”… but the Giving FUNnel kept on giving… First a “Domino” Auction-FAQ g-doc and then a physical copy of “Make em beg to buy”… This morning I got this message: “Christian, I tried hard to find a reason not to do this. I failed… could we run our first auction in March?” Followed up by (loosely translated): “Another thought popped into my head. Do you think we can make the auction more valuable by adding congruent offers from other people? When do you have time to meet via Zoom again? I want to do this!“ Do you think he’s hooked? 😀

Know the answer? I made an assumption yesterday that almost cost me one HELLAVA answer from a partner. My partner and I (The amazing @Leandro Langeani who brought in on the deal) had already been talking with our auction partner on zoom for a while and I had a bunch of questions on my screen to get down to the what the partner's offer actually is. The question...What do you do differently than the other companies in your market? I figured I already knew the answer based on things the partner had already revealed. WRONG!!! The amount of gold that was extracted would cause a 5-alarm fire at Fort Knox. The point is...don't make assumptions like I did. The answer our partner gave probably gave us the most clarity on his offer than any other.

I've been trying to get auction partners for the past few months by asking in the best way I knew how. No success. Last week I sent out a new email to my list and made a post in a community I'm in, making an offer to run an auction for people... ... but instead of my usual way, I applied the OG Rule from the CDOD training. Result: A coffee date yesterday... two today... and two scheduled for tomorrow. All from qualified people with good offers. All worth doing a test with for an auction. Conclusion: Some words are magic... like the OG Rule.

They have connections with all the other chapters in the US and in Europe and they're going to test this with a smaller community, if it works well, they have many community exceeding 100k members (across the different offers and channels they run) and they will introduce this to EVERYTHING if the first one goes well. THIS IS HUGE, I'M SO EXCITED!!!! They're expecting me to put together the offers for the auction and then we already have a followup call scheduled for next week. @Travis Sago everything I need to do this right is here in the classroom or should I check the Kajabi as well? I want to make sure I don't mess this up!
