Hi everyone, just posted a lead magnet about the single prompt that got me 13 potential clients in 1 day. Appreciate any comments and reposts. Thanks! 💪 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/freek-de-bresser_this-one-prompt-got-me-13-potential-clients-activity-7403848245212250112-IEYj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADVvFSwBaBEfsQj7-cPp4VHMBBxgxFYBftw

(Here’s what Ian showed me on our clarity call that changed everything) Okay, real talk… If you’re still sending cold pitches, duct-taping tools together, or praying your next “hack” will land a client… This is the post I wish I had seen months ago. I recently had a clarity call with @Ian Kirk, and I’m still unpacking everything we uncovered. Because what I thought was lead generation was just me chasing shadows. 😬 🎯 What Ian Showed Me (That Nobody Else Has): 1. Fishing, Not Hunting I was pitching, pushing, and praying. Ian said, “You're out here with a spear. Real closers are out here with bait.” That hit hard. Did you know that the goal of cold outreach isn’t to close, it’s to create just enough curiosity that they lean in? (Me either!) As it turns out, Curiosity > Pitch. Every. Time. 2. If You're Targeting Execs, Instagram Is a Waste Spending hours crafting posts for people who’ll never see them doesn't make any sense! High-income decision-makers? They live in their inbox and on LinkedIn. That’s where the real conversations begin. 3. Stop Overbuilding. Start Connecting. I thought I needed fancy systems to scale. Truth? They were slowing me down. Manual DMs. Simple scripts. 100 real messages > 1 funnel that never gets finished. If your tech stack feels like a second job, you’re doing it wrong. 4. Replies Are the Metric That Matters Opens? Vanity. Clicks? Cool, I guess. But replies? Replies are momentum. Replies are money. Since the call, I’ve cut the fluff and started measuring what matters. 💡 Picture This... You send one message. Your dream client replies—not to buy, but to thank you. Because you just made them aware of a problem they didn’t even know they had. That’s not a fantasy. That’s what this community is doing—because of the clarity calls, the frameworks, and the simplicity Ian teaches. Here’s My New Game Plan (Stolen Straight From Ian): ✔️ Craft messages that trigger curiosity, not resistance ✔️ Commit to 100 personalised DMs or emails daily

I just witnessed one of the most impactful moments I have had in this community, and I had to share it. Another member was asking about various tools & automation strategies, when @Andrew Naegele delivered a GUT-PUNCHING response that literally stopped me in my tracks... The insight that hit hardest to me.. "If you ARE NOT HITTING $5K monthly, you need to strip away ALL distractions and focus solely on THREE core activities - content that resonates with YOUR journey, direct (DM's) conversations with potential clients, and getting on sales calls. THAT'S IT!! EVERYTHING else is just some F*KIN noise." or Andrew said something like that... idk if that is word for word, but still got me to switch my "job" work to pay attention. Andrew shared how he generated $68K in just 30 days with a new offer. His secret? No fancy tools. No automation. Just a calendar link and his consistent action. He sent 100-200 direct messages daily, provided genuine value in social media group conversations, and focused on building real relationships. THAT IT... like dang, $68K in just 30 days... What truly struck me was his emphasis on the fundamentals. While many of us (myself included) get caught up searching for the "perfect tool" or the "next shiny object," Andrew reinforced that old age truth that success comes from doing the basic work consistently and well. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: - Revenue-generating activities should consume 90% of your time before $5K monthly - A website, chatbot, or automation won't help if nobody knows who you are (Confirmation for me) - Success isn't about having the best tools - it's about having the most conversations - The path to growth is through helping people solve real problems, not chasing shortcuts His point was crystal clear and I mean if you were on the call...Andrew was CRYSTAL CLEAR: 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.

🚨🚨 Ever feel like you’re shouting into the void with your business loan offers? That was me—until @Ian Kirk flipped my whole approach upside down on our Clarity Call. I came in thinking I needed to “pitch” business financing. SBA loans, equipment financing, merchant cash advances… you know the drill. But here’s the truth bomb Ian dropped: “Nobody wants a loan. They want the result—the new revenue stream, the bigger business, the freedom. Sell the destination, not the flight!” 🏝️ The Beach, Not the Baggage Claim Ian broke it down with a killer analogy: Travel companies don’t advertise the 5am wakeup, the airport parking, or the baggage fees. They sell you the beach—the feeling of sand between your toes and a cold drink in your hand. It’s the same with business financing. Don’t pitch “debt.” Tell the story of the contractor who used a $50K loan to buy a new truck and now paves 10 more streets a day. Or the supply company that bought a paver and added $100K/month in revenue—because they had access to the right funding. 💡 My Top Takeaways Stories Sell: Use real-world examples (even if they aren’t your clients) to make prospects “problem aware.” Reciprocity Wins: Lead with value—give away insights, tools, or case studies before you ever ask for a call. Email Like a Human: Forget spammy blasts. Warm up your domains, keep your emails conversational, and always monitor your deliverability. Start Small, Scale Smart: Three domains, three mailboxes each, and a simple three-step follow-up sequence is all you need to get started (and avoid burning your sender reputation). 🛠️ What I’m Doing Next Diving into the Clarity Call Classroom Ian unlocked for me (packed with masterclasses and deliverability secrets) Setting up my domains and mailboxes the right way (no more GHL headaches!) Crafting stories that make business owners want to talk about funding—because they see what’s possible 🚀 Your Turn If you’re stuck pitching features instead of painting the dream, take a step back.
