Brandon Yakubov | Founder @ BDØT Industries

Sales doesn’t fail because people don’t work hard. It fails because: • Deals stall quietly • Follow-ups get missed • Pipelines need constant babysitting That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a system problem. Most sales tools help you track work. They don’t help you decide what should happen next. SalesOS exists to change that. It’s not about more outreach. It’s not about more dashboards. It’s about removing manual sales management entirely. If you believe sales should run like a system, not a task list - this will make sense immediately. 👉 salesos.alephwavex.io

@yusukelp Keep your circle tight 💪🏼

@buildwitbrandon That’s actually huge. Getting real feedback on your pricing like that means you’ve got the right people around you!!

I thought landing pages were the bottleneck. But after looking at real funnels… The real leak is the paywall. People click. They’re interested. Then they hit pricing and drop. So now I’m building this into LandingBoost: → paywall before / after analysis → pricing clarity → trust at the moment of payment Because that’s where money is actually made (or lost). Already seeing this in real pages. Once this ships, pricing will go up. If you’re in early, you win.

@yusukelp I actually just recently did change my pricing because of someone’s feedback.

@buildwitbrandon exactly Brandon. Did you ever change your pricing and actually see a difference?

@AlexHormozi Your circle is your ceiling.

When you're on your deathbed, you won't regret cutting shitty people out of your life. You'll regret keeping them in it.

@Kazanjy Own the lock screen, own the deal.

Founders: SMS / iMessage is a dramatically higher signal / lower noise channel for doing deal communications. As soon as have a first call with a prospect, grab their cell phone number out of Apollo (use their Chrome extension), and text them immediately after. “Jeff, great to see you again - this is Pete. Wanted you to have my cell number.” Same in LinkedIn connection message “Jeff, great to see you. My cell is #XXX-XXX-XXXX for your convenience.” Set up iMessage comms early and then leverage is throughout your deal.

@Kazanjy Don't let a "maybe" waste your engineering resources.

Founders: The magic question to handle vague trial requests: "I'm happy to help you get more comfortable with the value - what specific proof points would help move this forward?" 80% of time they just want customer references or ROI studies. Don't give away keys to your product.

@Kazanjy If they won't pay 25% for a pilot, they'll never pay 100% for the year.

Founders: Here's how to structure pilots that actually close: - Max 30 days - 3 mandatory training sessions - Weekly usage metrics reviews - 2 required use cases completed - Success criteria defined up front Charge 25% of annual fee for the pilot. No more endless trials.

@Kazanjy Complexity hides value. Simple math reveals it.

Founders: Example ROI math that makes prospects pay attention: You have 10 recruiters at $125k fully loaded cost = $1.25M annual spend Our tool makes them 30% more efficient = $375k value created We charge $50k = 7.5x ROI Make the math dead simple.

@jimheskel If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand the problem.

Simple feels like cheating to analytical minds. That's exactly why it works. Your clients don't want complexity. They want their problem solved. You don't want complexity either. You just think you're supposed to.

@danwilliamsdtg Stop blaming the wind and start adjusting the sails.

Good product + good marketing = guaranteed success. The world isn't against you. Just learn the skills.

@KevinSzabo14 One solved problem is worth a thousand "likes."

You’ve been lied to. Whoever told you that you need millions of followers online is scamming you. What you really need is a skill. Identify a real problem in the market. Then post And promote about it non stop. As for me? I help entrepreneurs with content writing.

@kaderobs Stop waiting for a "feeling" and start building a track record.

Confidence compounds like money. You don’t get it by thinking. You get it by stacking wins. WIN → FEEL GOOD → EXECUTE MORE → WIN MORE Most people wait to feel confident before they move. Move first. Let the work create the belief.

@InboxWhizKid Systems work when you don't.

Most email marketers write newsletters. I build email systems. The difference: Newsletter → content Email system → • sales triggers • nurture engine • welcome sequence • strategic campaigns One keeps your list warm. The other generates revenue.

@seanb2b "Potential" doesn't pay the mortgage.

Stop offering rev share to poor clients ❌ They want rev share because they can't afford to pay you ✅ You want rev share with clients making so much money they'd never offer it 10% of nothing is nothing

@dramaricic Visibility is a team sport.

Small experiment 👇 Drop your startup or side project. Let’s see how much traffic we can send together.

@meetMrajgor Pre-sold leads are the only leads worth having.

3 things your personal brand is doing while you sleep (founders read this)👇 1. it kills price objections when someone's read your content for 6 weeks... they've already decided the call is just logistics 2. it filters out bad clients automatically people who've followed you long enough already get how you work, what you expect and what results look like the nightmare clients never make it to a call 3. it gives you something to fall back on - when referrals dry up - when the market shifts - when a big client churns the person with an audience has options the one without is just hoping something comes in none of these show up in an ROI spreadsheet all three change everything about how you work

@delveroin Code is the engine, but distribution is the fuel.

The biggest advantage today isn’t coding. It’s distribution. You can build the best product in the world and still fail if no one sees it. Do you agree?

@ItsKieranDrew The algorithm rewards creators, not consumers

The Internet is the biggest gift and curse of modern times. Too many people use it to consume, to copy, to conform. But the intelligent use it to create, to put their art into to the world, to attract fantastic opportunities. Make sure you’re on the right.

@IAmVivianCai Your ego is the most expensive line item on your balance sheet.

5 uncomfortable truths most founders spend their entire careers avoiding: 1/ your product isn't the problem. You are. I watched a founder rebuild his SaaS three times in two years. new stack, new ui, new positioning. same result. zero growth. The product wasn't broken. His avoidance of sales conversations was. Every rewrite was just procrastination wearing a hoodie. 2/Nobody cares about your vision until you prove you can execute. Here's why it takes founders so long to learn this: - They've been told "think big" so many times they forgot thinking isn't shipping - Pitching the dream feels productive, it gets nods, it gets applause, it costs nothing - Execution exposes you. Vision protects you. Avoid this trap. 3/Your first 100 customers should feel slightly embarrassed to use your product. If you launch something perfect, you launch too late. Reid Hoffman said this, but most founders treat it like a nice quote, not a rule they follow. Face it: you're not protecting quality, you're protecting your ego. 4/The market will tell you the truth. Your team won't. - If you surround yourself with people who need their salary, you will only hear what you want to hear - If you ignore churn and obsess over new signups, you will build a leaking bucket and call it growth - If you mistake politeness for validation, you will spend 18 months building something nobody actually wants Choose wisely. 5/Most founders think momentum comes from having the right strategy. In reality, it's flipped: Strategy comes from momentum. The founders who "figured it out" didn't plan their way there; they shipped, talked to users, killed what didn't work, and doubled down on the one thing that did. Clarity is a byproduct of action, not a prerequisite for it. Actions tell your story.

@ishaansehgal Shipping is a muscle you build through reps.

common patterns in the lives of builders who actually ship. once you see them, you can't unsee them. • the single tab rule one problem. one repo. one week. ruthless scope deletion until the thing works. • the async loop build, push, get feedback, iterate. no meetings. just diffs and momentum. • the subtraction sprint cut the stack. cut the tools. cut the noise. speed lives in what you remove. • the public ship they release ugly v1s. take the criticism. ship v2 faster because of it. • the system over the sprint they don't hustle harder. they architect workflows that compound quietly. • the non-linear unlock months of invisible progress. then one launch collapses the timeline. looks like luck from outside. these aren't genius traits. they're repeatable behaviors.

@RushRicketson Trust is the only currency that doesn't devalue.

You can’t beat a brand with depth. Depth builds trust. Depth creates loyalty. Depth brings higher retention. → Stronger connection → Better customers → Fewer doubters Community > attention.
