Coby Wear | X coach for founders

If you're scared of AI, you'll fall behind the people who aren't. People were scared of the tractor too. I use AI for at least an hour every day. It helps me know more, delegate more and grow faster.

One day I had 90 DM conversations, including follow ups. I explained my price more than 20 times. I keep notes on every reason people give for saying no. The patterns tell me what to fix in my offer and my content. Write your no's down.

Weak: "I help founders with marketing." Better: "I help founders get their first 100 followers on X." (Example only.) Nobody searches for "marketing help". They search for the specific problem they have right now.

Top 5% of people build something But most of them build more than one thing then wonder why they see no success. The most successful people pick one thing and dedicate all time, energy and money into that one thing.

Sales is just bad marketing. Good marketing means people already know you, trust you and just want to buy. Sales is what you do when that trust isn't there yet.

Wow, what a day yesterday

Sales data shows 79% of leads never convert at all. 40% to 60% of lost deals aren't lost to competitors. They are lost to prospects making no decision. Learning to sell urgency, learning how to handle rejections, learning how to get them to buy no is so important.

You can't convert anyone into a buyer if they don't need what you want and if the offer is bad. Make sure the offer is good and true and that you are talking to the right people before you learn how to handle rejections.

Is this a hot take? Must give free value before you expect to earn.

If you're building on X and you want: - inbound leads - followers with purchasing power - people to see you as an authority in your niche you should constantly be showing people why you're worth listening to. - results you've generated - problems you've solved - lessons from working with clients - your approach to solving problems - things you know that most in your industry get wrong The more people see how you think and work, the easier it becomes for them to trust you with their business.

Don't know about anyone else but I hate working on my laptop trying to build. It doesn't matter what lights you have around you but you can never see your laptop keyboard late at night no matter how many lights you've got around you.
