@aether_uiux Most industries have a place where everything happens. Online closing doesn't. That's what Im building. @closrio

@enrmp Building the platform I wish existed when I started in sales. Businesses find closers, closers find opportunities, and everything runs in one place. @closrio

The only business model that can realistically make you millions is taking a small cut from a large volume of transactions. Be the middleman. Collect fees. That's where the biggest businesses are built.

@jackprice @closrio sent you a message 😊

@notpuppetmaster @closrio How much would they make in commission on every sale? What was the price?

You have $0 for marketing How are you getting your first users?

@jackprice We were selling AD spots for crypto projects back then. Same technique has worked for various businesses. That’s why I’m building @closrio

@notpuppetmaster What were you selling?

@closrio sounds early 🤪

Imagine a place where businesses can find closers and people can find online income through sales. Now imagine everything else being built into the same platform. Hiring, training, communication, sales tools, and payments.

When I built @uleadai , I came to a realization: It's actually a pretty bad business model. A $25/month subscription sounds great until you do the math. After API costs, taxes, marketing and everything else, the margins get a lot thinner than people think. To make just $1,000/month in profit, I needed around 100 paying subscribers. That's one of the main reasons I'm building @closrio . Not only is it a far more interesting product, but it also becomes a distribution channel for Ulead itself.

@jackprice Hit $250k/year with this model. A few friends were looking for an online income stream, so I showed them how to do outreach. Every time they landed a client, they got paid a commission. Win-win.

@notpuppetmaster Love this approach. How has this worked for you?

I've helped a bunch of friends go from $0 online to their first $10k+ in under 90 days. The biggest thing I've learned? The easiest way to make money online as a complete beginner isn't buying another course. It's having a friend who's already doing it. Someone who can introduce you to sales for a business that's already making money. You learn a proven process, put in the reps, and it becomes a numbers game. The more people you talk to, the more opportunities you create. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I still think commission-based sales is one of the fastest ways for a beginner to make their first real money online.

@rdbuilds7 not live yet but building @closrio Think of it as a place where companies hire closers and closers find opportunities, with all the tools they need built in

We all think building a business will help us survive the AI era. The funny thing is, AI is making me spend less money on businesses. Needed a tool to manage my sales team's shifts. Didn't even look for one. Built it myself in a few hours with Codex.

Our first business was a Telegram bot that did over $250,000 in annual revenue. The interesting part wasn't the product. It was how we got customers. Instead of waiting for people to find us, we hired commission-based sales reps. Think about it. Rather than spending thousands on ads and hoping they bring a return, we paid people only when they brought results. If a salesperson failed to close deals, we didn't lose money. If they succeeded, both sides benefited. That's why I've always believed commission-based sales is one of the best ways for a business to grow. A lot of founders focus almost entirely on product and marketing. They'll spend thousands on paid ads with no guarantee they'll make that money back, but never consider building a team of people actively bringing them customers. With commission-based sales, you know exactly what you're paying for. And unlike ads, you also get real conversations with potential customers through your sales reps. For us, it worked so well that growth started feeding itself. Sometimes the fastest way to grow isn't getting more people to find you. It's getting more people to find customers for you.
