@Cristina Nichols Happy to help! Reaching out to investors can feel awkward at first, but a clear and genuine message goes a long way. Before suggesting wording, are you looking to connect them as a deal sponsor, a broker, or more as a connector/introduction between both sides? That will help shape the tone and message.

@Cristina Nichols No worries at all totally understand the kid distraction moments 😅 That helps clarify a lot. If you’re mainly trying to earn the affiliate fee from Impruvu, the message probably just needs to position it as a resource that helps them connect with private investors, not as a loan or funding source. A lot of people hear “financing” and assume debt, which might be why you’re getting that response. If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to help tweak the message you tried so it lands better. What did the message you sent them say?

@Denitra Cosby Welcome how are you doing?

@Alton Ates II That’s his WhatsApp page you can message him through it now. https://wa.me/message/XVVU23NBL2D5M1

@Kyle Little Okay, that’s good. Here’s his Telegram handle you can reach out to him there. Let him know you’re coming from me, and let me know once you get in touch with him. After that, you can delete this mail to avoid spam message. https://www.t.me/Digital_marketing_simplified

@Kyle LittleAlright, that’s good. Keep me updated on how things are going between you guy's.

@Sean McConeghy Got it that makes sense. With Facebook leads, the warm factor can vary a lot since many are cold or lightly warmed. Are you running specific ad campaigns to target certain buyer profiles, or are you working with more general interest leads and qualifying them afterward?

@Sean McConeghy That’s a solid approach Facebook groups can work well, but the close rate usually comes down to how well the leads are pre-qualified before the call. When people raise their hand organically in groups, you can still get decent conversions, but tightening the screening tends to make a big difference. I actually know a funding/referral expert who works specifically with investors generating leads through social platforms and helps them dial in qualification and handoff so close rates improve without paid ads. If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to make an introduction.

@Josh Kimbrough-El Appreciate that perspective, Josh. I like how you tied clarity back to simplicity, willpower, and ultimately a deep WHY—that through-line often gets overlooked when people overcomplicate growth. The reminder that desire strengthens will over time really lands. From what you’ve seen, what’s the biggest obstacle that prevents people from sustaining that willpower once the initial motivation fades environment, habits, or conflicting beliefs?

@Josh Kimbrough-El That’s a powerful insight, Josh. Proximity really does shape belief and behavior without the right environment, accountability, and mentorship, it’s easy for momentum to fade. The idea of balancing mentors, peers, and mentees is especially interesting. For someone who recognizes that gap, what’s the most effective first step you’ve seen for intentionally building that sphere of influence when they don’t currently have access to it?
