This dude has a huge community. He has no clue who I am. It doesn't matter. The GIVING FUNnel turns them from cold, to curious, to "OMG Let's talk." Check out the pics 👇 Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I shared about the Giving FUNnel yesterday. I polled for interest. Out of 518 Ronin, only 67 are interested enough to tap a button. Maybe it's the holidays talk blocking my poll? I dunno? If there's not more interest I'll make this a $5k workshop or something and keep it for a few super committed Ronin. We. Will. Clean. UP!

I bombed out with a local page admin for my city of Lynchburg last week. However, in my chat he told me I should try to do an auction in a copy cat group that he doesn't run because they allow promos. I took his suggestion and created a very general pre-auction post to see if anyone was interested. Even though its a copy cat group, there's some good activity inside from legit local peeps so I felt this would work. Here's the very general post I made: I'm looking to have some fun while helping out local businesses in our community. If a local business were to auction off a valuable service starting at a $1 and we had some fun, friendly competition, would you throw in a bid? Let me know if you'd be down to clown! 1. Holy schmokes! I'd love to have some fun and help out a local business! 2. Maybe... depends on what I'm bidding on. 3. No way dude! You win dumbest idea of the year award! After I posted I realized that option 1 probably wasn't the best way to frame it but I couldn't edit the poll in the group. Anyhow, I checked back this morning and there were only 4 votes. 3 / 4 were option 2. Not very encouraging TBH. I decided to do an anchor post in the group and highlight that the majority of voters seemed down to have fun depending on what was up for bid. I checked back a few minutes ago? 19 votes now and 11 / 19 are for option 1. So 15 more votes in just a few hours. Granted, these aren't earth shattering results but there has been a big spike in votes so I'm happy about that. The data that's showing so far is disproving my theory that most people will go for option 2. My next anchor post will be asking what types of services people would bid at least a buck on. Maybe we'll see another spike in votes and some feedback so I know what businesses to approach.

Still have about 4 hours left to go but I wanted to drop in and share my excitement. Very real possibility of pulling 6 figs on this one. Not bad for @Marcus Karl & I's first auction! LOOONNNGGGG writeup coming next week to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. :)

Got a Beemer deal closed with a dating coach today. The ioi class helped me get responses to my Facebook posts. He has a small 237 person email list with a 25 to 30% open rate and a 5000 dollar coaching offer. We're gonna do a 5 to 10 email test and see if we can drum up some leads and customers outta there.

I’ve got a database of communities I’m starting to work. I’m contacting community owners cold. This one went from Cold to Coffee Date in under 24 hours. Remember we’re not selling auctions… We’re selling BIDDING/Buying Frenzies happening in the comments for the community owners offers. (And that offer is 🔥) Here’s the PS in my cold email… “PS You can't buy anything. But after visiting your about page I think you'd clean up running an auction. It's a blast watching everyone placing bigger and bigger bids in the comments. It goes craaazy. I know your CXXXX offer is hot!” 👉 I’m sending them to my about page in Community Fire Mojo. (Which pre-sells them) 👉 They join my CFM community. 👉 I comp them my Pop Up Auction. 👉 They love the idea, but ask if I can do it for them. I’ve sent 3 deals to Ronin Auction Heroes since yesterday. I’m looking for Auction Heroes ACTIVELY doing deals. Is that you? 👇
