Had a call with a WhatsApp marketer who was curious about running auctions in WhatsApp groups. I told him about the reasons we like Skool and he believed those same dynamics could work in WhatsApp - including the DM'ing. I could see a setup through GHL, chatting with bidders as it works the same as SMS. Potentially with AI. Anyone had hands on experience running an auction in a WhatsApp group?

So, tonight, unfortunately I won't be able to join the AMA because I have a call at the same time with a guy with 82k connections on LinkedIn. We will be scheduling my first auction so it's really exciting. Me and him have already talked about eventually moving people over to Skool to do this but I'm thinking that if we do that, if the transfer doesn't work and we only have 50 people to start the auction with, it's going to bomb massively, despite the huge potential and I know that someone is doing these things directly on their public profile. The guy constantly has 300 comments on his posts and they're just reposted stuff so I'm thinking that if we do a public auction it could get at least 100 people to get the ball rolling and then it's just a matter of commenting and increasing the engagement as much as possible and it could become a huge thing eventually. The main issue on LinkedIn is that I'm not sure I'll be able to message 100 people or more after the auction without being blocked. How do you do this? My idea would be to then send them to Skool AFTER they purchase as one of the things we're selling is a free membership (for a paid tier) so it makes sense to send them to the platform afterwards but not before, right?

I cranked in a couple leads this morning with my G.F. One of my follow-ups is: dumb idea? His response: "kinda?" 😆 I had a very fun response back... But... Before I show ya... How would YOU respond? 👇👇

Got an auction coming up in 3 weeks. There's likely time to set up A2P and get a number warmed up in GHL so we can pull people into the action through both email and SMS on auction-day, to keep it sizzling as long as possible. Also, the phone numbers will to a large extent reveal signups' distribution between time zones, so we can plan it out even better. Anyone got hands-on using SMS in this way?

Made this lil video for my fellow tapping friend, @Leandro Langeani . He's been on vacation so wasn't able to attend the first live CDOD. He's been itching to get back to he can go hard on this. Then showed it to my other buddy @Marcus Karl , who suggested I share it here. Needless to say, I don't think prospects and leads will ever be a problem again!
