Neal worked with me for 30 days and landed his first $12500 deal. How? A non-needy yet elaborate sales approach. Here are our 3-step process: (the gurus can't tell you this) ────◆──── 1. Laying the groundwork ────◆──── The sales begin upon first contact. 95% of people make this mistake. They think the sales begin on the call, or even in the DM. Wrong. Imagine this. If you run a consulting business for gardeners. Who would you choose to work with? Bob - Who only ever talks about how to scale a business. Or Neal - Who talks about: • Scaling a business • How to nurture rare plants • Top equipment for gardening • Lessons from the top biologists in the world The answer is obvious. Think about all your customers's possible first touchpoints with your brand. • Is it your content? • Is it your profile? • Is it your website? Then think about who you're trying to attract. The sales process begins from the moment you pick your niches. If your audience doesn't go "this guy understands da*n well what I need AND talks about what I like" You failed. ────◆──── 2. Attracting the right people ────◆──── Nailed step 1? Congrats. Now you have the right audience. Now how do you find people who actually need your service? There are dozens of ways you can do this: • Webinars • Autoplugs • Newsletter • Handraisers • Landing page We chose the one with highest leverage. A banger lead magnet. And not just any lead magnet. We chose one that's GUARANTEED to work. How? Pre-validation. Take what worked and put your own spin on it. Don't reinvent the wheels. Innovate them. ────◆──── 3. Non-needy networking ────◆──── Conversions happens in conversations. Trying to sell a high-ticket off your timeline? Good luck. People buy from people they trust and know. The DM is there for a reason. Use it. Dan Koe already made an awesome guide for this, so I'm just gonna give you the quick points here. (again, don't reinvent the wheels) • Send people an inspired compliment • Show genuine interest • Lead with value • Get on a call to make a deeper connection • Follow up with value • Follow up with an ask Your network is your net worth. Neal is now working with one of the biggest spirituality coach in Australia. And the money is as you can see. ────────◆──────── Want Neal's results? I'm opening up my first ever Mastermind where I help 5 people achieve the same. In the last 3 months I: - Monetized my brand to $8.5k/mo on X - Helped my clients land multiple 4-5 figure deals - Worked with a CEO doing $35mil in revenue DM me "waitlist" if you want to work with me. 3/5 spots left.

@GasperCrepinsek AI is gonna create a generation with the most millionaire in history. While what we're witnessing here tbh

@Layton_Gott Reviewing PR lol

Be honest: What’s ONE thing you still don’t trust AI to do in your dev workflow?

@stijnnoorman Emphasis on "good" comments. You can drop 50 "agreed" a day and still grow 0 followers

How to escape beginner hell: • Post 3 tweets per day • Leave 50 comments per day • Follow 10 new people per day Keep it simple.

@KevinSzabo14 How are they even doing it anyway? Thought Elon blocked replying from the API

Is it just me. Or has X become less and less fun with everyone spamming Ai comments? If it were under my posts I’d just block them. But bro.. they are everywhere on here.

@siddharthwv I like to call this "Just fail your way to success".

Planning is overrated. Fail first. Collect data. Know what doesn't work. Then plan.

@zazmic_inc As someone in tech myself honestly I think in 10 years it's just gonna be babying AI. The actual coding is only a small part of my job as an engineer anyway. But the skill atrophy is quite scary

Serious questions here: if AI handles most of the building… what will actually be left for us to do? If agents will write the code, spin up infra, wire integrations in minutes… what’s a Tech Lead in 5 years? Now that building got cheap, it stopped being the "supreme power" and judgment has become the flex. And that alone rewrites half the org chart: the jobs will still exist but the roles and tasks will change dramatically. My bet is most titles either get renamed or get redesigned: Tech Lead → Agent Conductor / Orchestrator They won't have to be deep in every file anymore. Instead, they'll decide which agent does what, what they’re allowed to touch, how big the blast radius is and why it optimized the wrong thing: less typing but way more steering. PM → Constraint Architect No more 20-page specs: they'll be defining outcomes and guardrails: if incentives are wrong, agents will ship the wrong thing faster than any team ever could, so their job will be designing the game agents are playing. DevOps → Autonomy Risk Manager Infra provisions itself for sure, but someone still caps the spend, contains failures, defines permissions and hits the kill switch when autonomy gets ambitious. They'll be managing machine behavior, not servers. Junior Engineer → System Tuner rather than grinding tickets, these fellas will be tuning workflows, fixing weird loops, improving memory, making the digital coworker less chaotic. Less “build from scratch” and more “make this thing reliable.” Founder → Reality Distiller If AI can generate infinite features, taste becomes the ultimate moat. The real skill becomes deciding what not to ship and where humans stay in the loop. If execution gets 10x easier, raw coding skill won't be the rare thing anymore: ownership will, along with coordination and accountability. AI has removed a lot of excuses, but it will never remove responsibility: if anything, that part just got heavier.

@georgymh Man is on a banger daily thread run, you love to see it

I have studied hundreds of investors. None of them defined wealth better than this.

@chris_waldron This looks so fun actually haha

90% of Entrepreneurs & Leaders don't have.. a genuine, thriving peer group where you can close the gap in your mind, body, and business. Don't forget... All we need is a little help from our friends :)

@RushRicketson 90% of entrepreneurship is just sticking with it till it's mathematically impossible to fail tbh.

Most people want startup advice. Few want startup reality. Reality looks like: Talking to users who don’t care Shipping features that don’t land Fixing the same problem five times Until something finally works. Advice only makes sense after you’ve lived this. Before that, it just sounds good.

@SalesMastery_HQ Dang, always wanted to write a book one day myself as well. Seeing this post might be a sign

I never thought I'd write one book. Let alone two. After 35 years in sales I wrote Sales Mastery: The Playbook for Phone Sales Closers - a field guide reps could open to any page and learn something useful. Then my stepson started a small neighborhood business and I realized something: Kids are almost never taught how to earn money, negotiate, handle rejection, or build real confidence. So I wrote the next one. Sales Mastery for Kids. An unexpected byproduct? Parents and kids working through it together. Better conversations. Real-world skills no AI can replace. Kids start as Sales Reps. Parents become the CEO. Launching April 10.

@_GradyCool 🤝

@VentureJourneys I like the vision

The path to building wealth gets more clear when there is a goal. The path to a million and the path to a billion are vastly different, so pick what you want before going full force with a plan.

@EAndkhoy Tbf I wouldn't mind taking that class instead of the boring stuff I got lol

@VentureJourneys It's bizarre. I mean my ceramics class was fun but maybe we should reconsider offering that class.

The closest my high school was to offering an investing class was economics — not quite there. I had an interest in investing at a very young age. I remember bringing my intro to stocks book and reading during English Literature (Macbeth wasn’t that interesting at the time) and reading Barron’s during Physiology. I was lucky to be interested in important topics at a young age as it helped my understanding of how money and investing work. I’m not recommending students not focus in class. Although, because financial illiteracy is a big and expensive problem, I highly encourage anyone, whether you’re a student or a working professional wanting to further their knowledge to spend the time and learn. It will for sure pay dividends. Pun intended. Lots of great accounts here on FinX to learn from. You can also follow me @EAndkhoy and DM me if you have questions.

@weesiang_lim Most successful people I know is absolutely a gym freak as well. That discipline gonna serve you well no matter what you do Good to have you here

100kg+ to HYROX. Now building a speaking business from zero. Same system for both. 7 rules:

@RobertoCroci Banger story actually. It's good to have you here Roberto!

Hi, I’m Roberto Croci. It’s been a while, and with a new year starting, it felt like a good time to reintroduce myself. After all, it’s always nice to actually know the person behind the posts. 2003 - I completed my final degree and soon after joined DMR Consulting as a consultant, where I spent a year learning how business really works. 2004 -  I moved to BravoSolution S.p.A as a Senior Manager, leading sales. 2006 -  I joined PwC as a Senior Advisory Manager, focusing on project management. 2008 - Took me into the world of e-commerce with WebScience, where I worked as E-commerce Director. 2010 - It was a turning point. I joined Google as a Manager Solution Consultant and ended up staying 9 years. Over time, I grew into the Regional Head in Dubai. During this journey, we grew revenue and clients by over 5x in just 3 years, consistently beat sales targets for 11 quarters straight, and saw our product suite adopted by many of the largest advertisers across Southern & Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. More than the numbers, those years shaped my thinking, leadership, and resilience. 2019 - I joined Microsoft as Managing Director, where I built and launched a new VC fund, raised $15M from UAE and Saudi government entities, and deployed initial investments across 15 startups. 2022 -  I founded Constructive Rebels to help corporates and government entities drive innovation through startups, while also working part-time as an advisor and head across several organizations. 2023 -  I joined PIF as Director of Value Creation & Transformation 2025 - I was promoted to Senior Director. Outside of work, I’m usually: - Reading - Traveling and trying new experiences - Talking about leadership and startup growth - Or simply spending time with friends and family I started taking X more seriously only a few months ago, and I’m enjoying it here. If you like what I share, welcome to my world. Let’s learn, build, and have meaningful conversations together.📷

@ValueOptionsLab Banger post actually. Thanks Neil

Most small businesses don’t fail because of bad products. They fail because founders never understand their numbers. After 20+ years working in finance, I’ve seen the same mistakes over and over. Here’s what I’ve learned about business finance and deal analysis;

@TheAlanHsieh We're headed toward a generation of youth handing over their thinking to machines. It's powerful but could 100% ruin you if that's what you're using it for

Just had a chat with a friend about how AI is ruining him. He's starting to talk like it. He reads a lot online and thinks that's the reason. He might be right. AI is part of the creative process but not the whole thing. It should never be.

@Ethantmercer Good to have you here Ethan. Respect for building this in public

Hi, I’m Ethan. I’m 32. For the next 308 days, I’m building a business from scratch: • Zero employees • Zero capital • Zero customers • Zero identity I’ll document the entire process daily and prove you can build something real in 308 days. Deadline: New Year’s Eve to reach🎯 $150,000 profit Btw Suggestions welcome 👇

@AustinEditing @gregoryjhickman Fire edit actually

Re-edit for @gregoryjhickman Want your video to look like this? DM me

@jakobcounts123 Lol agree but I actually met a guy, CCO of an 8-fig biz on Reddit and literally got handed a 47-page internal doc that I'm still using this day. Sometimes it does actually happen ei

Bullshit posts you've all seen, but shouldn't believe: "I helped my client go from ____ to _____ (astronomically large number) in less than 30 days." "I spoke to a guy doing (astronomically large number) in revenue, and he said ________." "Here's what (huge brand) does to have success and how you should copy them." "This AI UGC format is CRUSHING for my client and it takes me 15 minutes to make!!" They get engagement but there's probably nothing useful or true there. It's a format that grabs attention... but they never mention the brand's name, the guy's name, the client, or how that big brand "tactic" is affected by the size and reputation of the established brand(and how it most likely won't help you at all). Be careful because there's a lot of bad advice and pretenders giving you FOMO. Take everything with a grain of salt.
