@gaetano_nyc I did this back in the day too. They got a big funding round, then said I had to buy the shares to keep them. I didn't. I'm glad I didn't because it got sold in a fire sale and would've been worthless.

If you wanna close  high ticket clients at premium rates,  then you need  the high ticket sales process that I've used to close over $5 million in high ticket sales.

I call it the DSSC sales process.

Daily business wisdom as I put on my shoes.

Today’s topic: profit.

Profit isn’t natural.
Low profit = can’t pay yourself, can’t hire well, can’t grow.

There are the 5 moves I use with agency owners.

I turned this into a simple checklist.

👉 Reply “PROFIT” and I’ll send it.

[John Doherty 👍 @dohertyjf]

Busy agency.
Not enough profit.

It's not a lead issue — it’s a profit problem.

Here’s the high-ticket shift:

✔️ Identify best clients

✔️ Cut low-profit work

✔️ Move up-market

✔️ Value pricing
✔️ Fix positioning
✔️ DSSC sales

Want the full playbook?

@aakashgupta This is the crux: “ Airlines sell the cognitive cost of not buying the default option.”

If you're an expert and you like doing the work, don't productize your service.

Build packages that are easy to sell, easy to deliver, and give you lots of profit and freedom.

When outreach goes awry. (Took me a bit to get what he was trying to say.)

Professional basketball players don't wait to hire a coach until they're at the top of their game.

They hire a coach to GET THEM to the top of their game. And once they're there, they have multiple.

The right opportunity vehicle will take you a lot further in a shorter period of time.

Selling to better clients. Charging more to get better results. Higher value services.

If you're working super hard and not getting very far, you might need a different vehicle.

[John Doherty 👍 @dohertyjf]

Action gets results, but when the decision is higher consequence, you need to slow down and make the right decision so that you can go faster later.
