After starting a marketing agency a few weeks ago. I managed to land a client within my first 35 emails. Email outreach does not have to be complicated. Really short introduction on what you can do for the business you’re talking to, follow up, follow up again and then ring! Average touch points before you make a deal in sales is around 6-7 times. Don’t be afraid to go for small businesses to learn your craft, let’s face it, the first few client you have will never go as perfect as you’d like so just use it as an education before you get the client you really want. Like he says be original!
Hey Juan you should focus on managing and optimizing the leads past that it’s extremely hard to scale. Create a landing page outside of Facebook that automatically qualifies not too intense just something as simple as collecting info. This does two things one adds an extra step to separate serious leads from garbage ones and two it verifies the info is real. From there pass them on to the client and they can call or their receptionist can, and you can provide them with the necessary scripts etc. Don’t fall into being a ISA and doing the low level work. Focus on scaling and ads.
this is what i do man, my client recieves leads but they dont show up to the clinic. Am in Uganda, so prepaid appointments are really hard to comeby. What can i do to make sure that the booked appointments are followed up by patient show ups?
Wow, Juan, this video really made me rethink the lead gen process! The angle you have covered on scalability is something I am struggling with. I have been using Mystrika for the past few months, and let me tell you, their detailed analytics are a game-changer. Understanding the open rates, bounce rates, and A/B testing results helps me pinpoint what to tweak. Anyone serious about cold emailing should check them out. Maybe consider doing a feature on their AI-driven personalization and tag management?
This breakdown on lead gen scalability opened my eyes, Juan. I have recently started using DoYouMail, and it is been a breathing room for my campaigns. Unlimited email sending from various domains at $40/month is such a bargain! The ease of creating email IDs and their automated DNS configuration have made management a breeze. Perhaps a tutorial on how to set up these features next?
Honestly man great points here and so many are trying to pitch the same things to clients. Change what you can offer or reframe the offer itself. Stand out. Your all the same and you'll all make this like dropshipping was. Take this seriously and be creative. Do not copy-paste everyone.
As someone who is also early in the agency game, my clients actually want to call the leads themselves. This is most likely because I'm in the construction/contracting sector and the clients feel they are better equipped to answer customer questions / want to manage their own calendars. The only downside is they may not always call right away and thus don't convert as many leads. However, I'd recommend looking into the construction niche since the sales are so much higher ticket and just getting one customer will get the client a ROI.
Hey, I’m also in the construction niche. How do you do outreach like what do you use? I’ve tried dms, cold email, calls but I can’t get to the owner straight away. If you could help me out that would be great brother.
@@safwanghani1890 So far I just cold call. Until you get to the owner, I wouldn’t tell the gatekeepers that you’re looking to sell them something. Just say you need to speak to X person
@@keaganoconnell2714 Thank you so much. I don’t wanna annoy you but how many cold calls do you do a day? Cuz I tried like 50 picked up calls but couldn’t get anything in a week.
I´m trying to build a SaaS agency. It has its benefits but ironically, one of the flaws I see is that there is so much to offer that businesses get lost once you pitch them. I think the best way to be successful in this model should be by niching not on an industry, but one a very few selected services and be very clear about it.
Charlie said D4U just becomes more and more of a headache as you try to scale. If your ads are doing well it'll actually be a headache even with only a couple of clients. Yes, you can charge a lot more with D4U, but if you want to scale it will take a lot of hiring considering you can't do outreach, sales, service delivery and customer service by yourself for more than like 5 big clients. I wonder if that profit sacrifice to systemize a D4U fully would net you more than just trying to do DWY from the beginning and teaching clients what to do after someone clicks their ad. I guess your retention would be way higher with D4U since people are lazy so you build more LTV per client.
@@juansmmajourney Bro create course on how to do it yourself on highlevel, sell for 2*your monthly fee, then onboard them onto saas for 1/2 your service fee. it becomes easy to scale, and more profitable
Hey! I Love your videos, you will blow up, and i wish you all the best with your agency. I want to ask a question, i live in Faroe Islands and here are only 50k people in the whole country, I couldn’t really make a agency and help local businesses because everyone know every store and so on, so i would like to know if its possible for me to run a SMMA agency and maybe help businesses in the UK from here or if that would make it harder or if it even is possible thanks!🔥🤞
I simplified my offer - I dont call the leads, my clients do. I dont book any appointments and it made everything so much easier. You can go little lower with pricing and take 5x more clients. Also your clients know their service best and customers like to talk directly to client, no need for middleman. Also I dont cold call anymore, I just run my own ads. Why would you not generate your leads the same way you do it for you clients ...
Everyones cold calling the same industries with the same opener "I'm going to be totally honest with you this is a cold call, you can give me 30 seconds or hang up now" lol
there is oversaturation in every market. there are gonna be winners and losers. Focus on 3 things. Sales, Delivery, and Customer service and you will win.
Hey Juan nice vid man. Been following for a while. How many strategies do you feel like you test before things start working on FB? Running some ads myself and we’ve only managed to improve the link clicks and cost per click but no leads yet
If you’re not getting leads that’s a sign your ad isn’t good, launch new ads, test new copy’s, creatives, offer. Keep iterating until you start getting leads
guys quick question. Im gaving difficulties outreaching to leads, they arent answering my calls. I also have them enrolled in an automation for about 6 days that sends them multiple sms messages and emails a day. Does anyone have some tips?
I watxhed you almost every single video and i wanted to start it out myself Lead generation agency And i recently found a guy on youtube named leevi eerola I am not sure if he is legit or should i buy course from him
Hey Juan, I know you are super busy, and as also a beginner in this space with the same thoughts you brought up in this video, where is the best place to reach you to talk about this.
Juan or anyone explain to me something, when dealing with a clients leads are you calling them up. If so how? What number are you using your personal or the clients how does that work
I think about the complexity you should be more officiant in the way of communicating with ur clients , I mean here sending one msg that has all the informations that you need to avoid msgs back and forth (they take forever...)
Do you think it has become easier to hit the guarantee for your clients and do you have any tips to improve amount bookings if the ads perform bad. Also how much ad-spend are you guys using per month?
Ad spend varies from each client, it depends on their ad budget but between $500 to $600. And in terms of booking appointments, having a really good follow up system helps a lot, like calling the leads that come through instead of using text automations
But is the guarantee not way harder to hit with a lower ad spend? Or does the guarantee also vary from client to client then? Thank you for the answer btw!
Hey Juan. I would like to connect to with you. I too run a lead gen agency and have a few clients right now. Just like you I'm doing the service delivery myself. Would like to hear your pov on a few things
Hey, man quick question I'm under 18 and I would want to start with a medical niche , but i heard that I must have hippa compliancy to work with medical clients. I can't claim hipaa because I am under 18 so what would you suggest? Do you have hippa?
Everyone actually thinks “this is how I’m gonna make 10k” honestly just a bunch of 16 year olds that have no experience or knowledge and are trying to sell get media buyers
You're getting better at speaking on camera, feels more and more natural every video!

Hey Juan, love what you do. How do you get in touch with the decision maker of the business with your cold outreach?
Ask for them?
Little insight into ecom - it’s hard. extremely hard. like… way harder than local lead gen. Speaking from experience (i’ve done both)
With your local lead gen are you booking the appointments as well?
I think about the complexity you should be more officiant in the way of communicating with ur clients , I mean here sending one msg that has all the informations that you need to avoid msgs back and forth (they take forever...)
Yeah need to work on that too!

How much outreach volume do you doo??
juan you said this is labor intensive so if you want i can work for you for free , I have a lot of time and want to learn more about smma
Hey man, do you need a video editor?
What is the ad budget you use for the ads?
Hey, man quick question
I'm under 18 and I would want to start with a medical niche , but i heard that I must have hippa compliancy to work with medical clients. I can't claim hipaa because I am under 18 so what would you suggest? Do you have hippa?
High level has hippa
This makes me really worried that smma is impossible to succeed with now with all the competition
doesn't matter how saturated anything is. it just matters that you're better then the competition.
How many clients do you currently have?
Have you considered PPL?
How much outreach are you currently doing ?
About 160 pieces of outreach per day
@@juansmmajourney cold call or email?
This is what I hate about the smma space you got people that haven’t even reached 10k having courses and people selling courses while being in one
