Quick question: Would you rather learn this alone... or have me implement it WITH you?" Post:
Alright, I need some honest feedback from this community. Over the past few weeks, I've had multiple conversations with EAs, CPAs, and tax attorneys who reached out after seeing the workshop I was offering. And here's what I keep hearing: "Carlos, I don't need another 2-hour workshop. I need someone to actually HELP ME implement this in my practice." "I'm tired of buying courses and never finishing them." "I know what I need to do... I just need accountability and someone looking over my shoulder." "I don't want to learn Facebook ads. I want someone to RUN Facebook ads for me." So here's what I'm considering... Instead of a 2-hour "learn it yourself" workshop, I'm thinking about doing a 90-120 day intensive implementation program where I work WITH you (not just teach you) to build and launch your entire marketing system. Here's what I'm hearing people actually want: ✅ Build their landing pages and lead magnets together (not as homework they'll never finish) ✅ Get their email sequences written and reviewed by me (using the same storytelling frameworks I use for TaxDebtBook and CaliClaw) ✅ Have someone ELSE run their Facebook ads (the marketing team that generated 91 leads for my practice last month) ✅ Weekly coaching and accountability (not just "watch the videos and good luck") ✅ Real leads flowing into their practice in 30-60 days (not theoretical knowledge) And here's the kicker: Several people asked if this could be done in person (like a 2-day intensive in California where we build everything together in the same room). So I'm asking YOU: Would you be interested in something like this? And if so, what would be most valuable to you? - Building your assets WITH me (vs trying to DIY it)? - Having my marketing team actually RUN your ads (vs learning how to do it yourself)? - Meeting in person to knock it all out in 2 days (vs spreading it over weeks on Zoom)? - 90 days of implementation and accountability (vs a one-time workshop)? - Getting actual LEADS (vs just getting "knowledge")? - What the exact ai tools I use and why? -

I'm a mix of 'no time' and 'cost-sensitive' because I'm no longer in solo practice, and my firm expects a certain level of billable time. I would probably have to set this up on my own time, and my plate is pretty full. BUT, if it results in steady new leads, it would be worth the investment, for sure.
SALES CALL DECONSTRUCTION – MS. Jones Case File -
I wanted to share a call I did and what happen during call. I think you could learn this...good and bad I did on my call. 🎯 Objective of the Call Convert an overwhelmed, emotionally distressed prospect with a large IRS balance into a paying client for Phase 1 (Triage) — $1,800 to start. 🔍 1. THE FRAME – Setting the Stage What You Did Well: - You immediately built rapport with warmth and empathy (“Oh my god, that must’ve been awful.”). - You used relatability when you shared your own tax story — huge trust builder. - You took control of the call’s direction naturally: “So just talk to me… give me a summary and we’ll figure this out.” That’s authority with empathy — ideal combo. What Could Be Tighter: - The start drifted too long on the dental surgery story. It’s humanizing, but use pain stories strategically. Keep personal vulnerability moments under 45 seconds — just enough to humanize, then pivot. - - Next time: “Hey Ms. Jones, before we dive in, quick heads-up — I’m half-numb from oral surgery today, so if I sound funny, that’s why. But you’ve got my full attention. Let’s get you protected.”✅ Establishes empathy + professionalism fast. - 💡 2. THE DISCOVERY – Extracting the Truth What You Did Well: - You guided her without overwhelming her. That’s elite listening. - You pulled critical data: total debt ($300K + $20K), installment amount, lien date, separation, income, assets, and her cancer hardship. - You used reflective listening (“Gotcha. Gotcha.”) — she felt heard, which kept her talking. Improvement Opportunity: - Control the data flow more assertively. Christie emotionally spiraled mid-call. You can tighten discovery by using the “3-Box Frame”: This keeps her emotionally safe while giving you linear intel. 🧠 3. THE DIAGNOSIS – Framing the Problem What You Did Well: - You reframed her situation clearly: separation + medical hardship + $4,900 payment = impossible to maintain. - You positioned CNC as the “relief path,” not a “technical product.” Perfect emotional bridge.

I wonder that as well, because I have another commitment at that time.
