One of my clients went from $42k to $100k+/mo without content, outreach, or ads…
We didn’t chase more leads.
We focused on sales.
Let me explain…
Every online B2B or agency business has just 3 levers to grow:
1. Get more leads
2. Convert more of those leads
3. Increase Lifetime Gross Profit (LTGP)
But most founders get lead-blind. They’re stuck in traffic-chasing mode...
Meanwhile, there’s a pile of gold buried under their feet.
So what did we do? We started digging.
We looked at his dusty old list of leads and past clients.
Because turning a warm lead into a buyer is way easier than convincing a cold stranger to trust you with their cash.
Here’s the 4-step “print money” plan we used:
Step 1: Sharpen the offer
Step 2: Organize + segment the CRM
Step 3: Switch to a 2-part close (more on that in a sec)
Step 4: Send a 9-word email to his segmented list of past leads
Let’s unpack it.
Step 1: The offer
It had to be clear, juicy, and 100% about value. No fluff. No jargon.
Step 2: The CRM
We segmented the list so we knew exactly who to talk to and what to say.
Step 3: The sales process
He was doing what 90% of founders do…
- Focus on selling
- Email a proposal
- Watch it die in the inbox graveyard
We flipped it to a 2-part close:
- Call 1: No selling. Just full-blown discovery mode.
- Call 2: Walk them through the plan and price — live, with full context.
No more proposal ghosts.
No more “I’ll think about it.”
Then we were ready for the final step… The 9-word email:
Hey [First Name], are you still looking to [specific result]?
This little sentence pulls replies like crazy.
We sent a few different variations depending on the list, but the point is to restart convos.
And it gets sales moving without new traffic.
This system is still printing cash, and we’re still not focusing on new leads.
Is this for everyone? Nope.
But if you’re stuck chasing cold traffic and ignoring your warm list… you’re probably leaving money on the table.
Growth happens when you double down on the right problem.
What’s your focus - leads, sales, or ops/profit?
