If semi-retirement sounds perfect to you, this episode is a must-listen. Roland Frasier and Joel Erway talk through exactly what he does with his clients, and the strategy that has generated over $50,000,000.  He works 4 hours a day, four days a week, and yet, he's a Solopreneur with a 7-figure business (actually, two companies now). But it wasn't always this way. One night, he was lying in bed, worrying about where his next leads would come from, and he came up with a new strategy for selling offers. They talk about this strategy in the episode today.

So it has to be that delicate balance of making a promise that's believable and realistic". Joel Erway. When a Sales Funnel is the worst thing you could do (just make the dang offer!) "If people don't want what you have to offer, that's stage one, in my opinion. I'm not trying to rewrite the rule book of marketing. I'm just trying to put it in the right order for people who are struggling to generate leads…So I'm all about sales before marketing in this type of framework". Joel Erway. Which Segment Of Your Market Should You Go After First?  "There's always a segment of your market that has tried something and failed at it, and that's who you need to go after first because they need the least amount of educating to be convinced on whether or not they should work with you."  And more!
