How he went from $7k/mo to $47k/mo agency in 30 days

Iman, Kiwa, and Keenan scaled their social media marketing agency from $7k to $47k per month in 30 days. They break down their outreach strategy, the mindset shifts that made it possible, and how they landed high-ticket clients fast.
All right, guys, so this interview is probably going to piss a lot of you guys off, but this is probably the craziest transformation ever that I've seen in the entire industry of SMA. Kiwa literally went from homeless with 29 cents in his bank account to now making over 40 grand per month at 19 years old with his SMA and also his business partner Keenan as well, who is literally in his grandma's basement a few months ago now, also making over 40k per month, living in Dubai with me, and also 19 years old. And it's been an absolute crazy transformation. So these guys are at also 7k per month. 30 days ago, now he's hit 4 first 40k per month. And we're also in the interview going to talk about exactly how we did it with the mindset switches. We did all these strategy we use and everything and pretty much leave a ton of ton knowledge and pretty much golden nuggets, pretty much just leak a bunch of sauce. And also on top of this, we're also going to talk about crazy things that actually happen in Dubai. Hi, boys. So since getting to Dubai, we're about a few weeks in now, at least in the first week. What's been like the craziest thing or also story that's actually happened since getting to Dubai?
Honestly, within the first, what, three days of us getting here, we literally closed 13 grand cash collected, which was just stupid. One of the times I actually closed it, it was at the Burj Khalifa, like right in front of the Burj Khalifa at this restaurant. And it was on the phone, like, no, no, Google Meet. Literally just on the phone with the guy and then he sent over the payment, which was insane. And then Keenan meeting that billionaire.
Yeah, we met that billionaire at Farm On Hotel. And apparently the Guy owns like 22 supercars and has like two tanks. But yeah, he's our contact now. So, like, a lot of networking here. A lot of networking opportunities.
Definitely. Yeah.
Crazy.
Besides that also, it's just we've been doing so much stuff. Everything's kind of just melded together. But definitely closing all those people all at once was just ridiculous. It just felt like we got here and it was just there's so much wealth around us immediately.
It just forced us to work so hard. Yeah, yeah.
We also scaled like so fast that like now we're just kind of like we have so many clients, so we're just taking care of back end right now, automating everything, and then we're not stopping outreach.
Never stop out. Never stop out machine going every single day, all day.
Yeah, we're literally like scaling this to the moon. We're gonna hit 100k months the next 30 days, and nothing's gonna stop us. So you guys were literally like 7k month, like almost like 30 days ago. Just above that now. But yeah, it's been a crazy journey. I feel like you guys just getting to Dubai makes you make way more money as well. That's the thing about getting to Dubai. Like, it just speeds up the progress of everything. I've realized it's one city that helps you progress in every single area, like, way faster, like mentally. The speeds of the progress of everything. I've realized it's one city that help progress in every single area, like, way faster, like mentally, maybe spiritually, but just financially a lot. And it's like maturity as well. So, yeah, it's crazy. It's gonna be sick to see you guys the next, like, few months as well. Like what you guys will come out to because you guys are getting like. Yeah. Like, you guys started getting residency like this week as well, getting the company set up here. So officially gonna be like 0% tax as well. It's gonna be really nice, but it's gonna be a really fun time. So we're here in the penthouse. How does it feel to be in Dubai?
Ridiculous. Like, unbelievable.
Crazy, bro. Yeah, it's actually like.
Yeah, yeah. Because you guys, if I'm not mistaken, you guys were like 7k months, like 30 days ago in your own hometowns, right? Yeah, I was in Russia, actually. Okay.
Yeah, he was on vacation, but yeah.
Okay. So we'll kind of go into the strategy a bit later on. And by the way, guys, there's lots of nuggets and reasons they scale so fast, so stay tuned. We're going to be going those in a few minutes, but give us a bit of a more run of the business. So what actual niche are you guys in?
So we're in the car detailing niche, specifically guys who do ceramic coatings only. And we do work with some guys.
Who do ppf, PPF wrapping, some even like window tinting. We basically do everything related to, like automotive.
So why. Why do you choose auto detailing compared to like roofing or real estate like other competitions like everyone else listen to this. Would probably choose, but thank God.
So when I first started smma, I just hopped into niche straight. Straight away. Yeah, I just hopped into car design niche as most people. You saw Tony Lee, the video, and I think he hopped in car detailing, and I just basically stuck to the niche. I just stuck to the niche like throughout my whole niche till today. And then I met some people, met some other like guys that do the same thing as me. Like Kiwa.
Yeah.
And then I met him. I saw he was like craz Google Ads. So we connected a bit.
Yeah.
And we partnered up. And now at 40k a month.
Wow. Going back into the story. So for some context, which we already talked about the intro. Keenan was literally in his grandma's basement like well, like a year ago.
Yeah, I was actually in my grandma's base like for four months.
Like. Yeah. In that basement, bro. And kihuo literally had 29 cents in his bank account. Borderline homeless. Yeah. Like 11 months ago. Yeah. So it's been an absolute crazy journey and we're gonna go a bit more into stuff that you guys specifically did to scale now. So tell bit more about the. A bit of a background of how you guys literally went from like 29 cents in your bank account to like now living in Dubai making 40k month. Which we will actually show you guys stripe account as well. But how does it. Like what was the whole SO story with me?
It was like some crazy stuff happened with my family and I had to move in with my friend who was my business partner at the time, and I guess he just couldn't do smma. It was like just mental blocks there. So I don't know why he decided to just be so rash, but he kicked me out. He told me I couldn't live with him. I needed to move out.
Me two weeks to leave.
And then I just started cold calling.
Yeah.
Yeah, like crazy. And signed a client after around two weeks of doing that. Thankfully his sister did take me in, so I did have a place to stay, but I was like two days away from being homeless. I sold my tv, my boxing bag.
It was.
It was pretty bad.
Yeah. Because you're. You're also your parents. You're the parents. Well, like you don't really have. Yeah. Place to stay either there. Yeah. No.
So my mom and dad got into a divorce and then it like my mom took a lot of the money. So my dad didn't have basically any money. He made around, I think 10,000 off of the house being sold because they sold the house and he had to move in with his friend in the Bronx, New York.
Wow.
So, yeah, I couldn't really stay with him at the time.
Yeah. So. So when did that actually happen? Was that. That was exactly. About 11 months ago, right?
Yeah, that was around December. November. Ish.
Okay. Got it. Yeah, I guess. Less than that. Almost.
Almost.
Yeah. Whatever it is. But wait, what? Are you kidding? What was the actual. Like, how did you actually go to grandma's basement to live in Dubai? Now, like, story.
I'm gonna tell you guys crazy story. So basically I was in college. I went from my dad's house to my grandma's house.
Y.
Like I just felt better living with my grandma. I had this like, room. Okay. I had this like room where I used to like play games in basically. And then one day I just thought like, let me just stop playing these games. Let me actually start making some money. Okay. Because I had no job. I had nothing.
Yeah.
I like, literally like. No. I didn't even have a bank account set up. I didn't even have a bank account. So I set up a bank account and then I came across Iman. Right, Iman. Yeah. I was still in college actually, like slaving my mind away all day. Came across Iman and then I came across Thomas Garnett.
Yeah, yeah.
Cold calling videos.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just conn with a bunch of people also, like beginners in like SMA space. And then I just start cold calling.
Yeah.
So I would literally like come home every single day from school and just throw my back at the couch, run to my basement. Let's just start dialing like 150 a day. I would. I would basically tell myself, like, I'm not gonna stop calm until I book like five more meetings. Yeah, literally five meetings. I would book five meetings. I would go to bed. Same thing every single day. Every single day.
Every single day. Wow.
And then first month, I was in free trials at the time, so I closed like four free trial clients. Then the month I actually stopped cold calling, so I was like fully focusing on service delivery. So the month I got like crazy results for them and they were like 500amonth retainers, like really small, but actually got me to an amount where I could like basically quit like my college. So I just went fully with my agency.
And at that time, were you guys in any courses or anything like that?
Yes, I was in a course which costed me a hundred dollars.
Okay. Yeah.
And my old business partner's mom paid for easy grow.
Got it. Okay.
But then since he quit, I guess lost access to EasyGrow.
So. Yeah. When did you guys actually join the courses? Was it the same time?
So let me tell you. So I joined my first ever course in 20, like March.
Yeah.
Then I joined another one like July 2023. Joined another one like September 2022, joined another one in December 2023. And then I joined another one in April 2024 and then air companies.
You didn't join anybody else after.
After that.
I mean this guy's literally. I started mentally like 30 days ago and you guys were at like 7k.
Yeah.
30 days ago. And now 40k in Dubai 30 days after.
Yeah.
It's getting a mental.
Unbelievable.
That's ridiculous.
I think that power of having a mentor because I've also joined courses but I realized like having a mentor to specifically guide you along the way just helps you scale way more faster. But because we've seen that in time. So. Yeah.
It's like having a search engine for smma.
Yeah.
Ask you a question. You can really just tell us exactly what we're doing. Especially when you're with your boys. Like when you're with a bunch of, like a bunch of guys just working, grinding together, making steaks all day, every day, just drinking black coffees, closing deals. It just feels.
Yeah. Cooking eggs.
Yeah. That's so much fun. Yeah. Yeah. And you guys have also been. I've also been teaching you guys a bit of networking as well. But tell me about the some stor stories.
Oh yeah.
The Paramount. We met some billionaires. Yeah. Hotel.
Which was ridiculous. I mean if you come to Dubai, you're definitely gonna meet someone like that. Like it's just bound to happen, you know?
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
We had a lot. And met another agency owner from like France. That's like an agency all over the world too. Like.
Oh yeah.
In the same hotel we met a billionaire and another agency.
And other. The agency owner. That guy was. How much think he was making?
I think I have 200k a month.
No, he had a Patek.
Oh yeah.
Ye made up attack. And he also works like international, so.
Yeah.
He's working from everywhere and he's working with people from everywhere. So he has to be making a crazy amount of money.
That's the power of Dubai. Anyone listening to this? Please just speed on Dubai and your life will change. Like.
Yeah, it's just.
It happens.
I think if you hit 5k per month, you can realistically just come here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Nah.
But like you're on the.
You're on the edge, you know?
Yeah, you're on the edge. Yeah. Like you could survive off 5k, 10k month. But like.
Yeah, it's not comfortable.
Yeah, it's not comfortable. Okay. Also, especially in the winter months. Like. Oh, winter months it gets way too pricey. But yeah, in the summer, you Guys definitely find f. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys have actually had some crazy stories of that as well.
Like, so we can't really give out the actual secret sauce. How we're getting 90 cent leads, dollar leads for our clients. But all I can say is that was one of the number one things we focused on in the beginning and that's why we've actually scaled so far and so steadily is because everyone's getting results. There's no churn. People are just leaving.
Yeah, yeah.
And we're getting. Printing our clients like $1 leads. Literally every client that comes in gets like crazy results.
Like. Yeah.
So we're literally flying our clients out right now. He made 30k in like 30 days. Yeah, it's going to be crazy. He's going to be chill living here with us.
Yeah.
We're gonna have like a Dubai interview with one of our clients, which is gonna be ridiculous. I mean. Yeah, I know a lot of people in just SMMA in general, I don't think they focus a lot on service delivery. They just go crazy.
They don't.
And it kind of fucks them over in the end end. Because then they get a ton of clients and then they give a ton of shitty results and then. Yeah, it just is.
Yeah, they gotta give refunds. It's such a nightmare. So I've seen that firsthand with other people. And the big thing to scale 100k month is studies focus on the product because then you get unlimited referrals, you get more case studies, you're leveraging the sales process, leveraging the marketing process. So it's like an infinite positive feedback loop with you guys. I remember one of you guys were telling me that you took your client from like 20k months to 70k a month in his niche in like 30 days, which was. Was crazy. So. And you guys are getting really good like service right now because I feel like other guys have literally been in your niche and they've literally transitioned out because the service is so hard. But these guys are cracked service every so. And also, what would you guys say for like overall, just general advice for people who. Guys. And also what would you guys say for like general advice for guys who were in your position also like 30 days ago? And you know, you guys were like 7k months in your hometowns 30 days ago. Now you're in Dubai making 40k a month. So what's like some general advice or at least people who are kind of just starting out as well, making a few grand a month or even at zero, trying to get first few clients comments. What's kind of some general advice you guys would would hand out?
Volume of outreach.
Volume of outreach. And never ever ever stop booking appointments. You need appointments to be coming in every single day. And also you gotta understand a little bit more about your mind, like your subconscious mind to be more exact. Because if you can hack your subconscious mind to make the work easy, then getting up and doing a 12 hour workday of cold calls is gonna be fun to you. And I know that might sound really weird to a lot of you guys, but I'm telling you there's a way where you can hack your mind into doing this.
Yeah, it's ridiculous but yeah, 100 as long I've actually realized something which my I paid 10k to actually realize is where as long as you align your subconscious, sorry your actual beliefs with your goals, then it's. It just flows super easily. Now more importantly, if you actually attach more pain to growing and more pleasure to being stagnant, then you're not going to grow because their subconscious wants to obviously avoid pain and just wants to stay in a feel good state. So what you have to do is actually attach more pain to being second and more pleasure to growing what you do with actually getting those beliefs in check. And then you guys will just teleport to 100k a month essentially. So that's kind of what I did. And I've actually had a lot of limited beliefs right now. I won't really get into too much but preventing from scaling like 300k per month. I feel like after I learned that there was a lot a lot of things that change fast and all the beliefs on mine are just fucking made up. And same as you guys as well. And also anyone watch this, I would guarantee that you guys have a bunch of shit beliefs that are not benefiting you at all. For example, if you guys are like a few grand a month or you want to on a scale of 10k month, probably thinking like oh at 10k months, you know, my life's gonna be harder. I don't know how to do service delivery or the more money make more hectic my life's gonna be or it's just gonna be hard to get there. Those aren't benefiting you. And those are all just all made up beliefs that are just based off preconceived lack of information or just little information that you've pretty much made conclusions off of. So the more you could just write those beliefs down and just dismantle them then way more faster you're actually gonna get there. So that's honestly the key to scale as well. It's like, it is about strategy, stuff like that. But I felt like with you guys, I tell you guys a lot about mindset and, and the subconscious, specifically. And that was one of the biggest things on actually how we went from 7k month to 40k month in 30 days.
Yeah. The journey does not need to be painful. A lot of people think that it needs to be hard, it needs to be painful. It can't be fun. Like, we've been having a lot of fun.
I know, right?
A lot of money and it's been great. Like, we wake up, we'll go to a restaurant, we'll close the deal there and we'll just like eat a good dinner, go home, close more deals, and we'll hop on service delivery. And yeah, sometimes it gets stressful, but why does that have to be about bad thing?
Exactly.
That's all how you frame it.
Yeah.
Speed is key as well. You need to go fast with everything, and fast doesn't mean quality. You know, you can go fast and do a good job as long as you're, you know, you're making, you're checking everything, you're making sure everything's okay, but you need to go fast. You cannot go slow. You can't be stagnant. It's like, like what Andrew Tate says, you know, with a plane, you know, that's the reason why it's in the air.
Speed defies gravity because of speed. That's actually one of the first things I learned in Hustler or in kind of online business business from joining his course. But like, speed is the number one most important rule in business. Because if you guys took like a year to deliver client results compared to like two days, then they're obviously going to pay for two days.
So every time a problem pops up and we delay it, it gets worse.
Yeah, yeah. So true.
Act on it quick, you know, be quick on it.
Yeah, 100%. And I feel like that's also the reason why we're blitzkrieg scaling 100k months right now with a brand new agency is because we're not really preventing the problems. We're more just. Just gonna get into it and go fucking ham with blitzkrieg scaling. And then once the problems arrive, then we'll fix it in the moment. It's just like jump out of a.
Plane, build the parachute on the way down.
Exactly.
Yeah. So that's kind of the goal. Right now we're doing, I believe just supposed to like 45k per month right now. It's about first week of September. So yeah, that's kind of what we're doing right now. And we're gonna scale to 100k month next 30 days easily. And crush everyone in the market. Like there's literally no other competitors. I've realized like any every other guy who goes gets at the stage either just like quits cuz their service deliver is complete, or they just give up. And swap and swap.
And we have a friend who we gave our service delivery to and a completely adjacent niche got what a $50 leads? 12 leads, $12 and a $13 spent, $14 spent within the first day of launching his ads.
So when it comes down to service delivery, we're chilling.
Yeah, we're chilling.
Yeah.
