[@JeffTheBackPackTraveler]

My niche is restaurants, as a former restaurant owner myself, cold calling is the best and fastest way to talk to the owner.

[@a58034]

Not trying to take much time. But summarized, how do you get past gatekeepers and reach the owners directly. (Does it have anything to do with having being a restaurant owner and knowing how the place works?).

[@JeffTheBackPackTraveler]

@@a58034 having the owners name. When I was at my restaurant, I told my staff, if anyone calls and ask to speak with the owner, take a message and tell them I'm not here but when someone called and asked for me by name, they got directly to me every time.

[@ItsKeaton]

Thanks bro!

[@mikefun7482]

Without taking the learning curve into consideration, cold email is at least a C tier. The offer is what matters most and the best offers win. I think its the best outreach method for dictating whether you actually have a good offer and service that the market wants.

thoughts on investing the time and energy in creating a newsletter/blog as a 1-many outreach channel? I personally think that its similar to creating a youtube channel, but I would love to hear your thoughts. btw i'm a beginner

[@ItsKeaton]

Our blog did well for us. It’s worth investing early on this if you’re sure on your niche. Newsletter is harder to keep up with and less assymetric but can be very good yes

[@tomholmes-p2w]

When onboarding a client, do they just add you as a partner to their business manager so you can manage their ad account for their business ? Or do you create an ad account for them inside of your own business manager? I'm having issues getting my head around which is the best way to go about doing this. Any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks.

[@ItsKeaton]

Either works! I prefer adding creating a new ad account for each one

[@jefffairchild1854]

What would be the most effective thing for an appointment setter to be doing to get me appointments?

[@ItsKeaton]

Depends on your niche :)

[@XionToday]

Selling courses just automatically plummets your credibility. But then again, Keaton does actually provide value with all his free vids

[@ItsKeaton]

Why does a course plummet my credibility?

[@XionToday]

@@ItsKeaton Because the action of selling a course is tainted by other creators who swear up and down to buy them, just for them to be filled with generic advise you could have learned for free on KZbin. Furthermore, many course makers are not in the business of actually doing what they teach you in the course, their main source of income IS the course. Why would you need to sell a course, or even want to sell a course, put your valuable time and effort into something, if you’re already earning tons from doing what you’re teaching others in the videos you already have made for KZbin, not to mention income from monetizing those videos. Just a little food for thought.

[@ilijah4385]

The problem is most FB niche groups have admins that won't hesitate to kick you for indirectly selling yourself. I recently answered a question in a FB group and got kicked from the owner who said "I came into his house and tried to pull clients". Lol

[@ItsKeaton]

Time to start your own :)

[@olivergjersoe8361]

Hey Keaton, one question. I work in the med spa niche, But none of the medspas in my country capture the lead in a instant form on their fb ads, they just take them to their clients website instead. How would you run the ads in this scenario? (I dont have a appointment setting team)

[@zayeedkhan673]

Well I do have a question I'm targeting Real Estate Agents in the US so would be it applicable to use WhatsApp DM outreach like can I outreach them through WhatsApp via texting and voice mail would it workout, please let me know???

[@ItsKeaton]

Absolutely, that's something I teach exactly how to do inside Agency Dominance, check it out here: itskeaton.com/agencydominance You can also join our Discord group to ask all your questions: discord.gg/KCZxTQMGMd

[@kyleandres2355]

A lot of value for sure! However, main takeaway is automate everything, if it takes any sales skills development (cold calling conversational skills, email copywriting, etc.), not worth the effort. Can’t be automated or delegated, not worth it. Agree that should be a focus for scalibility, but some of the most crucial core business skill sets, will be built in the grind of the shit stuff, like cold calls and cold emails. Think you just threw them at the bottom, because they suck, but the truth is they should be ranked high for skill set payoff imo

[@grantfils]

Will A.I replace SMMA and businesses will not need it? I read a lot about this Is this correct?
