2025 was my first full calendar year in business We sold over $10M in info, coaching, consulting, and agency services for the accounts we work with In 2026 we should clear at least 2.5X that All with super simple systems, processes, and proper management Have a ton to learn still - the more time goes on the bigger the knowledge gap feels lol But it goes to show that doing the basics consistently is all you need Excited to see how the next 12 months unfold Will of course continue to document the process ⚔️

@ZaneTazi Done

@MaxBatess Now you can

After being Head of Sales for a recruiting company Managing multiple sales teams Running my own sales agency… I’ve hired 100s of sales reps over the last couple years I made a full breakdown of best practices when hiring reps Comment “SETTER” and I’ll send it over (Must be following so I can DM you)

@ZaneTazi Not following I can’t message you

@MaxBatess SETTER

A couple things to keep in mind before you look to outsource sales 1. Are you looking for DFY sales or DFY sales ops Are they just sourcing + training reps or are they taking full operational + revenue ownership 2. How involved will they be on the client acq side They don’t need to run all your ads and build all your funnels, but how involved and invested will they be with marketing 3. What does their integration process look like stepping into your business Are they auditing your data, process, and systems at all or are they just taking over where you left off 4. How are they going to be reporting to you Are they making sure data stays clean and giving you full transparency and viability into what’s happening

Something I don’t hear people talk about much, but imo super important The funnel you run heavily relies on the skill of your sales team (Don’t try to run super cold funnels if you have a team of cashiers used to organic, warm lay ups)

Stop hiring sales reps UNTIL you have a proven, documented process you can plug them into Too many founders are told they need to hire sales people But they’re not told to create a transferable process that allows them to do so successfully Document 👉 Demonstrate 👉Duplicate

I broke down the exact infrastructure we use to scale our clients without spending an extra dollar on ads Everything is inside one Miro board + an 80 minute walkthrough: 👉 Acquisition systems 👉 Backend engine 👉 Sales team + KPIs 👉 Delivery + retention + upsell systems 👉 Automations, tech, SOPs, hiring… everything A–Z If you want the full infrastructure we plug into our clients’ businesses… Reply “INFRA” and I’ll DM you the full breakdown (must be following so I can send)

A lesson that took me way too long to learn: Your hiring funnel needs to be treated the same as your acquisition funnel

Wild to me seeing how much time and money businesses spend optimizing their ads, opt in page, booking page, etc But they don't know (or sometimes even track) their sales metrics Bleeding cash voluntarily

So many people get stuck in thinking the answer to scaling is just more leads / calls No one wants to solve the hairy problem and build an infrastructure that: - Maximizes how much of their current leadflow they convert - Handles + continues to convert the added volume

Started on YouTube a month ago 4 videos, 27 subs & under 500 views First call booked said he watched 1 video and was decided on working with me Cracked for 15k @theaymanarab pretty good at this YouTube stuff But this lead had been binging videos and said he’s never seen anyone do what I do and have such dialed systems/processes Mentioned some big names too Good ego stroke, but better reminder to keep my head down and keep building I have no other goals set besides bulldozing everyone else who tries to compete

The more time goes on, the more I realize that the biggest indicator of how successful you’ll be is simply how stubborn you are It’s really just a game of who can take a worse beating (over and over and over) And be stubborn enough to keep going

Product > everything Have spent basically every waking hour the last few weeks working on nothing except improving our product and delivery It’s the reason we’re able to 2, 3, 5X a business every single time we step in @DylanOFM 🐐

For any of my Canadians: Go live somewhere else, trust 🤞
