@blakeaburge Easier said than done- I wish I could stop doing that

Underrated life advice: Stop beating yourself up for decisions your younger self made with less knowledge. Some things only make sense after you’ve lived them. Be proud of what you’ve learned, not ashamed of when you learned it. Seeing things differently now is a good thing.

@ZunairaAi Cool but these sound too formal for informal businesses like the wedding space for example

STOP STARTING YOUR EMAILS WITH: “I HOPE YOU’RE DOING WELL.” IT’S CORRECT. IT’S POLITE. AND IT’S ALSO ONE OF THE MOST FORGETTABLE OPENINGS THERE IS. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO REPLY, DON’T START LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. START WITH INTENTION. HERE ARE 10 ALTERNATIVES: 👇

@ClassicXMen Genosha - one of my favorite storylines ever

Uncanny X-Men #235-240 cover dated October 1988-January 1989.

@dharmesh Same. I say we can do the call over email

EXACTLY THIS! I no longer buy products that require me to talk to a sales person to get pricing information.

@comicbookaddt One of my favorites and currently rereading it, coincidentally.

Hello over 40’s gym goers… How many times a week do you work out?

@Manu_Sisti @NavalismHQ I think it’s interesting, but to be honest, I have never bought an ebook and I don’t know anyone else who has ever bought one. I just asked my friends in a chat and no one I know has bought one. Do people actually buy these?

@prinkasusa Depression

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU’RE NOT SUICIDAL BUT JUST REALLY TIRED OF BEING ALIVE?

@comicbookaddt That is awesome

@ChefNutson @scaling_shields Yeah, I already have this automation working with Zapier and ChatGPT

@scaling_shields The funny thing is, Zapier with ChatGPT can do this automatically so this has infinite scale

met a woman in marbella making $68,000/month replying to google reviews not writing them not getting them replying to them "thank you for your kind words we appreciate your feedback" 340 times a month 340 property management clients paying her $200/month each to type slightly different versions of "thanks for the review" no ads, website, content or personal brand she sends one cold email: "you have 50 google reviews and havent replied to a single one. every unanswered review costs you roughly 9% of potential tenants. want me to handle all your review responses for $200/month?" thats the pitch thats the whole business one stat that scares property managers turned into $68K/month she hired 2 VAs in the philippines at $600/month each to do the actual replies total overhead: $1,200 net profit: $66,800/month from replying to google reviews heres why nobody competes with her: the task is so boring that nobody thinks its a business no one wakes up and says "i want to build a company that replies to google reviews" but every property manager knows they should reply and never does because its low priority and tedious $200/month is nothing to a company collecting $50-200K in rent but unanswered reviews silently eating their occupancy rate is a real problem she didnt sell a service but the removal of a task they were too busy to do themselves at a price so low that saying no felt dumb and the churn is almost zero because who cancels a $200/month service that runs itself the formula: - find a boring recurring task every business in one niche ignores - prove it costs them money to ignore it - charge so little the decision is automatic - deliver with cheap labour so margins stay above 90% - stack hundreds of clients because nobody cancels same formula that built the $2.4M/year dentist compliance business same formula running the $3.1M portable toilet empire the most profitable businesses are always the ones nobody wants to brag about stop building things that sound cool on twitter start finding the boring task nobody will do for the wealthy customer who will gladly pay to never think about it again

@NirvanaNutss @myfirstmilpod @suno But is there anything people will pay more for when you can get the exact same thing for a lower price?

@myfirstmilpod @suno Thirty years of humming harmonies in recording studios and your replacement costs fifteen dollars a month. That price tag tells you everything about how much the industry valued the human voice when a cheaper version showed up.

Pay $15/month and boom, you're a musician. @suno just hit $300M ARR, letting anyone create songs with AI in seconds. The brutal side: Backup singers humming along for 20 years could see their revenue drop to effectively zero. The math: SoundCloud has 40M real musicians. Suno's addressable market? Billions of people who wish they could make music. That's 50x bigger. Major artists are already using it quietly but won't admit it publicly. Shaan predicts this will become a $50B+ company. @tbpn @jordihays @ShaanVP @thesamparr @johncoogan

@infooperative @scaling_shields But you stopped doing it? What kind of business was it for?

@scaling_shields ran something simlar for a saas client last year scraped g2 reviews under 3 stars. sent 400 emails. closed 23 accounts in 8 weeks people who just left a bad review are already halfway out the door. you just show up with a better option easiest close of my life

met a guy last week making $43,000/month sending cold emails to people who left 1-star reviews for his competitors not joking he scrapes trustpilot and g2 for every 1-star review in his niche finds the persons linkedin pulls their email sends them one message: "saw your review of [competitor]. we built [product] specifically because of complaints like yours. want to see it?" reply rate: 11.4% for context the average cold email reply rate is 0.3% his is 38x higher because rather than just emailing strangers, hes emailing people who are already pissed off and actively looking for an alternative they JUST took time out of their day to write a paragraph about how much they hate the thing you replace theyre literally the hottest lead on planet earth and theyre free public information sitting on review sites he showed me his process: step 1: filter trustpilot for 1-star and 2-star reviews of top 3 competitors posted in last 90 days step 2: copy the reviewers name into linkedin sales nav step 3: pull email with apollo or instantly step 4: send the email within 72 hours of them posting the review while theyre still mad step 5: appointment setter calls every positive reply within 5 minutes close rate on these calls: 41% because the entire sales conversation is "what did they fuck up" and "heres how we do it differently" literally no convincing or educating needed no overcoming objections about whether they need the category they already bought it once they already know they need it they just need it from someone who doesnt suck last month he scraped 290 negative reviews found emails for 203 of them got 23 positive replies booked 19 calls closed 8 deals at $4,200 average contract value $33,600 in revenue from reading complaints the craziest part three of his customers told him they were ABOUT to switch to a different competitor before he reached out he intercepted them mid-churn one guy said "i literally had the contract open in another tab when your email came in" timing is everything most people are cold emailing prospects who dont even know they have a problem yet this guy is emailing people who just spent 20 minutes writing a essay about their problem on the internet every 1-star review is someone announcing "i have budget, i have pain, and im shopping right now" your competitors are generating your lead list for you theyre spending $50K on ads to acquire a customer that customer hates them writes a review and you email them for free and close them in one call right now theres probably 200 people who reviewed your competitor in the last 60 days theyre all reachable theyre all in market and theyre all ignored because everyone thinks cold email means emailing cold people these people are on fire go put it out p.s. if you want us to setup a cold email system that books you 10-30 calls per month - DM me "COLD" (you ONLY pay for qualified calls actually booked onto your calendar)

@6Noyb @scaling_shields It’s not just karens who post bad reviews. Normal people have bad experience with the businesses. I think it’s an interesting idea.

@scaling_shields It’s complete insanity to seek out customers who take to social media to air their grievances. Who wants a clientele of Karens?

@lizzkelly7 I’m a slow drinker

What if death sat beside you, sharing your favorite drink, and quietly whispered: “You’ve done enough. Finish your glass-it’s time to go.” What would you say?

Me: “Every page on our site takes 20–30 seconds to load for multiple people across different countries.” Wix: “Have you tried clearing your cookies?”

Wix has a great website builder, but if something breaks, it’s a nightmare. Days of troubleshooting just to prove it’s real, no access to a developer, then a 2–3 week wait… for a 5-minute fix.

@beyoumf 1.Define the problem clearly – What exactly are you worried about? 2.Write down the worst-case scenario – Be honest and specific. 3.Accept the worst (if necessary) – Mentally prepare for it. 4.Take action to improve it – Focus on solutions immediately.

@beyoumf I like “the worry buster” by Brian Tracy

Your customer service chat and callback are not working @Wix - I have a problem with one of my sites and there is no way to get in touch with you! Please help
