people, one of the most important things I need to tell them is you got to make every conversation worth your time.
Okay.
I like that.
And if you, if your conversations are only worth, let's say for example, potentially $75 in revenue, then the potential for you to hit $100,000, let's say if you wanted to 3x the goal you currently have, let's say $100K, because $100K is a real number. it would be very difficult for you to hit $100K at $75 a pop, even if they were a 3-month commitment and you were able to pick up 3 clients and all that stuff. It would be really hard. You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And a lot of people, they— if someone wants to spend— I mean, like, sometimes people pay $200, $300 an hour for therapy, you know what I mean? For like coaching to be able to change their life. You need to be able to really focus more on the result rather than on the hour.
Okay.
Because you're not working on them for the hour, you're working on them to get them a result. Am I right?
Right.
So I would kind of create a package. If I were you, I would create a package that's more like, let's say, a $1,000 package. And then you work with someone, you're like, listen, I'm gonna get you to a place that allows you to achieve your goal, whatever that goal is. Like, for example, if I'm gonna be coaching you for a year and I charge you, let's say, $10,000 to coach you for the year, And your goal is to make $30,000, that might not be worth it for you to risk $10,000 to make $30,000. But if I could help you make $100K, you might be more inclined to spend $10K to make $100K. Do you get what I'm saying?
Yes.
So to make $30K, you might feel comfortable spending $3K to try to make $30K. But if you want to make $100K, you might want to invest $10K to make $100K to make it more likely. So I could hold your hand every day, twice a day, tell you what do you need to do. make sure that you actually do it and all that stuff. So that's kind of like the idea that I have in my head is I think people need to go for 6 figures if they want to truly even hit $30K. I mean, go for 6 figures. You know, they say when you want to land the plane, you got to aim a little higher. You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Otherwise you'll hit the ground too early. So my opinion is aim for $100K, have a plan for $100K. that's very clear, which is 100 clients at $1,000 apiece or 50 clients at $2,000 apiece. And then have a very clear target market of who you wanna help. And then if you do that, the likelihood of you getting to your goal is much, much higher as a new coach because there's 1.2 billion people on LinkedIn right now. But there's a limited amount of people you can have a conversation with, Teddy. Do you agree?
Yes.
So what I tell my clients is, if your goal is to have 1,000 conversations over the course of the year to close 100 clients, the math has to be that each client has to pay you a minimum of $1,000 on average.
Okay. Now, you said, now that $1,000 they pay, would that be for an hour?
No, it wouldn't be for an hour. It would be for working with you for the year.
Okay.
Meaning you'll work with them for a period of time to help them be able to get to their goal. Do you know who you want to serve? Do you know who your ideal client is?
Yeah, yeah, I want to serve senior women.
Amazing. You want to serve senior women, women that are like 50s and 60s or 40s and 50s?
No, 50 and up.
50 and up. So you want to work with Women that are 50 plus in a specific geographic area, or do you don't mind working with people in New Delhi, India?
I don't mind working with anyone where they at.
Meaning if somebody if somebody from Indonesia that doesn't speak English wants to work with you, you comfortable with that?
Yeah, I think my problem would be how to good.
Hablas hablas español?
Un poquito.
Un poquito. So I don't think. You need to help everybody everywhere in the world. I think what you need to do is you need to organize yourself in a way, um, you need to organize yourself to allow yourself to be able to connect with the right people in the right geographic areas, to connect with the right people in the right geographic areas to support your goal. Do you get what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yes.
You with me?
Yeah, I am.
I am.
So my question to you is, my question to you is, do you want to actually get on 5 conversations a day every day to be able to speak to people that are senior 50+ people? Is that something that you desire?
Yes.
So if that's something that you desire, you need a few things. Number one is you need a strategy. You need a plan for how to do that. Number 2 is you need training on how to use technology like LinkedIn to help you achieve that. Number 3, the 3rd thing that you need is a community of people that will refer business to you because you're not just going to get clients out of thin air. You're going to need a community of people that work alongside you where you refer them, they refer you, you guys kind of work together. You know what I mean? You work in a herd.
Uh-huh.
Of people that are kind of supporting you. And then the 4th thing you need is you're gonna need some tech that you're gonna invest in to help you be able to make sense out of everything. Like, you know, tech to write your posts and tech to help you organize your connections and research people and so on and so forth. So those are the 4 things that you need. The real question is, you mentioned that money in your questionnaire, you mentioned that money's not really an issue for you right now. The issue is actually getting started. Would you be able to spend $10,000 on a training program?
Um, when you said— when did I say that money's not an issue for me? I'm trying to figure out when I said that.
Uh, you filled out a questionnaire. You're like, money's not the most important issue. So like you could afford to invest money, but obviously everyone has their limit of how much they could invest.
Yeah.
No, my question to you is, what would you be able to make as an investment in order to help you be able to achieve the goal of $30K or $100K a year?
Right now, nothing.
Okay.
I really cannot. I just, I just consolidated all my credit cards and everything.
Amazing. Amazing. So you, so you can invest literally nothing. So if you, let's say you decided you wanted to do Uber and you needed to get a car and get gas to do Uber, you wouldn't be able to have any gas money or any money to get the car. You wouldn't be able to do Uber right now. Is that what you're telling me?
No, I can do Uber.
What?
I can do Uber right now.
Which means you have gas money and you have enough money to get a car to do Uber.
No, I got a car.
See, you already have a car. You're paying insurance for the car. You're paying— like, you have the money to invest in the basics that you need in order to achieve what you need to achieve.
Right.
The real question is, how are you going to allocate that money to help you succeed? Because you have some resources. Do you have money coming in every month right now, or are you kind of working off savings and credit?
No, right now I do have my Social Security.
Okay, so you have money coming in every month from Social Security and you have expenses, you know, like you're paying your rent, you're paying your life. Whenever you start a business, you need to make some type of investment. Maybe you need money for web hosting to have a website. Maybe you need money like for a cell phone to pay for a cell phone bill. So you're already investing in your business, right?
Yes.
The real question is, can you invest a little bit more to get some training, technology, support, and what would be the maximum maximum amount that you can invest in the entire year? Maybe you say, listen, I can't invest $10K right now, but if I'm getting results, I could invest $10K over the course of the year. Meaning maybe you could invest $3,000 today and then maybe another $3,000 when you make your first $10K, and then maybe another $3,000 when you make your first $50K. You know what I mean?
Yes, I know what you mean.
So what's the max amount that you could invest to get started, to get the support? That's, that's— I want you to think for yourself, not even for me. I don't care what the amount It makes no difference to me.
Yeah, I know what you mean because this is something I've been putting together. I went down the line now, like, on my website, business cards, and all that. So far, I'm knocking things out.
Yeah, so you're doing— you're spending money right now on things like business cards and a website and hosting and a phone. You're already investing. You're an investor. I can tell. I can tell that you're serious and that you're going to be successful. The question is, how do you allocate your future funds In a way that will make it much more likely that you'll get your first 10, 20, 30 clients.
Yeah. And I do understand what you're saying, because that is all what I'm working on. So I have to tell you, I have a plan. So I've picked up a little part-time job and I just started. So my plan is to start eventually saving money so I can get more invested into whatever, what I want to do and where I need to go. Um, so I am working on it. Um, I give myself I'm giving myself— I just started, like I said, so I'm giving myself, um, I'm knocking it down. So I've started this little part-time job to add to my income so I can take some of the money that when I do make it, I can kind of like put it towards the investment of getting more and getting more knowledge, getting more of what I need to get farther down the road.
Okay, great. And I, I'm with you. I'm totally with you. Um, so you need to, you need to invest in 4 things. To get to your goal, you need 4 things. This is what people are missing. Number 1 is they need a strategy.
Uh-huh.
That doesn't just come out of thin air. Number 2 is you need training and accountability. You need training and accountability. Number 3 is you need a community. Some— I pay, like, there's one community that I'm part of that I spend $7,000 a year to be part of that community. There's another community that I spend $3,000. There's another community that I spend $1,500. There's another community that I spend $2,000. I have— I'm part of many different communities, and Tony Robbins's community, for example, I spend $37 a month in that community to be part of it. Right. There's 70,000 people there. So investing in getting into the right communities is important. I'm not telling you— I'm not telling you to pay me $1,000 a month for my community. I'm just telling you You need to be part of some communities so that people automatically trust you in those communities. That's like a shortcut to getting to getting— so you need the right strategy, you need the right training and accountability, you need the right community, and then you need some tech to save you time because you're limited on time.
Yes. So let me get back to you. Let me just say this. I invested when I first started this one before I got actually kind of like trying to get it out. For the training for myself, I, I became a John Maxwell candidate.
Oh, congratulations. How much did you pay to become a, a John Maxwell coach?
Well, I'm a John Maxwell coach, so I think— and I did it last year, so it was a— they had like a, um, a program, so I paid $3,000. So that was my first investment.
Congratulations.
And, um, so— and I still have all the platform and everything that I need right now, the tools. But I, I know that I need to go further with training, and I have a, um, a set of coaches that's coaching me, um, um, that I, that I, you know, work with, um, not just myself but the people that I went to, um, class with. So, but what I wanted to do is, um, get more involved with LinkedIn. That's what I don't—
You want to get more involved with LinkedIn, and so you got training on how to On on how to be a coach through the Maxwell certification, but now you need to get training on how to how to put myself on how to use LinkedIn. Yeah.
Yes. Yes.
So what are you able like if you needed to invest in a training program? What would you say you would be able to invest in a training program today?
Like Approximately?
Nothing today. Hopefully, I'm trying to just— so I just gotta say nothing today, this month. This month of January, I mean, February and January, I just can't do anything financially like that. My plan is so that by March or April, that I can do something more.
Could you, could you invest like $300?
Not right now.
No.
What about $29?
So I understand what you're saying, but what am I investing in?
Well, I don't know. I'm just asking. I don't right now. I don't even know. It depends on the amount of money that you were able to invest. If you said I have $100,000, I would tell you to invest in this. If you said you had $1,000, I would tell you to do this. If you said $300, you say right now, but if you have $29, I can tell you what to do with $29. If you have 50 cents, I can tell you what to do with 50 cents.
But right now I'm serious. I don't know where I'm at right this moment. Nothing.
Okay, great. So if you have nothing, I have a session called the LinkedIn Influencer Summit. It's completely free to attend. If you go to influencersummit2026.com, you can get in there for free. There's no cost to attend that. And you can learn how to use LinkedIn. So I understand what your budget is now. If you have $0, I still have something for you.
Okay. I'm just looking at that. Influence Summit 2026.
Influencer. Yeah. influencersummit2026.com.
Okay. I'm gonna look that up.
Now, the real, the real question I have for people whenever they say they have $0.00 is if they were able to put $1 into a box and then $10 would appear out of the box, would you not have the $1 right now to put into that box? Or is it that you don't believe that putting in a dollar will produce 10?
Oh, no, no. I understand your concept. Yes, I can take a dollar and put it in a box and, um, at the end of the month have $30.
Right. So what I'm saying is like, you don't have the available cash right now and you're working to get the cash, correct?
Correct.
Uh, and your credit cards are maxed out and you don't have any more money to invest in anything. You spent $3,000 on a Maxwell Coach. On a Maxwell coaching program.
Well, and actually, so that year it was a little more because I did that and I went to the conference.
And you spent, you spent another $1,000 going to the conference?
Yes.
And you didn't, and as a result of that, you didn't get any clients?
No.
But you got, but you got confidence to be able to get a client. You know exactly what to teach the clients when you get them.
Yes.
What I always— yeah, what I always tell people is getting on conversations with people is going to be the key. And so as soon as you can invest in getting a training program to teach you how to get conversations, that's going to be the key for you. So, so come to the free session on February 18th.
18th.
If you have the ability to make an investment, I can tell you things that you can purchase in order to make it more likely that you'll get to $100,000. I can tell you exactly what you can purchase, but right now you don't have any cash. So I have nothing to tell you to get. You know what I mean? Like I would tell you what software to get. I would tell you who to hire to train you. I would tell you all those different things. But as an advisor, I love advising people and sending people to go do the right things. For me, what I typically do is I usually, if I need money, I will make offers to people and collect money before I even have the thing to sell them.
Okay.
Like I have a course that's $99. Okay, it's super affordable. It's usually $1,000. I give it away for $99. That course is called the 99 LinkedIn Hacks. It's only $99, but if somebody doesn't have $99, they don't have $99. It's 100— it's 99 videos. Each video is under a minute. And it teaches you a lot of different, really cool LinkedIn hacks on how to get people on the phone, how to build relationships, how to be able to get clients. It's just $99 one time and you get lifetime access. Some people that bought it told me that they've generated tens of thousands of dollars from the strategies we taught them in the $99 LinkedIn course. If that's something that you want to look at, Because that's the ad you clicked on to be able to get the $1,000 course for $99. I can tell you where to go get that course for $99.
Okay.
If that's something that you're interested in looking at. But if you don't have the $99 right now, then wait till you have it, I would say.
Yes. And I'm going to— you said on the 18th to go on to this summit?
Yeah. Go to the Influencer Summit, influencersummit2026.com. You see a video of me and Esti there. And you can click on yes, save my spot. We're going to have 1,000 people there.
Okay.
And then we have all the trainers. We have a list of all the trainers that are going to be training there, that are going to be teaching people how to use LinkedIn. And there's no charge for attending.
Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you, Joe. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna look it up. And I'm going to keep you In my, um, contacts, because I will be back in touch with you after I look at that on the 18th. And perhaps I will probably, um, come back and we can be— we have another conversation.
Yeah, I would love that. I would love that. And look, at the end of the day, what I would tell you as a shortcut is write down your $1,000 offer and go get your first $1,000 client. That's what I would advise to you. Okay, go find your first $1,000 client. Don't tell anybody that you charge $75 an hour because you're wasting your time.
Okay.
So change your mindset to say, I charge $1,000 and I work with you for a year to change your life.
Okay.
And then go work with 100 people. And I will teach you exactly how to do that. But you should be able to get at least one customer, even just from the people that you already know in your world that have a full-time job that are making over $100,000 a year. They could afford $1,000 to sit with you, work with you, and get your coaching. You seem like a really smart, capable person.
Okay.
So because you are, you're a smart, capable, amazing person, you should be able to get at least one customer from the people that are in your world already that could pay you $1,000. Would you agree?
Yes. Uh, Joe, I gotta tell you, I value everything that you're saying to me. I really do.
Okay, great.
And I'm gonna listen to that, and I am serious, so I will be definitely back in touch with you. Um, don't— I'm not trying to blow you off or anything like that.
No, you're not blowing me off. You're telling me your situation. You're on Social Security. You don't have cash right now. You can't, you can't invest in any courses or anything. You already spent $3,000 on this and $1,000 on that and another $1,000 on that. You're investing in your business. You're all maxed out. I believe you. Register for the summit. Come watch the people speak and then, and then take your life to the next level and, and go start having conversations with the people that you already know. That's my advice to you.
Thank you. And, you know, just to give you a little sample too. So It's not like people always say, sometimes when I talk to people that try to help you, they'll say, well, can you get the money from you? Maybe, are you married? I say, yeah, yes, but I'm not married. My husband's old school. He don't think of this like it's a business or that I'm wasting my time or that.
Of course, of course, of course. He doesn't want to— he doesn't want you to invest in things even though you might have the cash. Your husband doesn't want you to invest in things because he doesn't believe that you can do it.
So I have to do it. He's not gonna help me.
Put it that way. Right. He's not gonna give you the cash to do it unless you get him on the phone with me and I convince him.
You're not gonna do that. I mean, he's not gonna—
Well, you never know. You never know. He might want to talk to me. He might fall in love with me. He might, he might end up leaving you and coming to meet me.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But you get, you get what I'm saying, right? Like, you never know. Like, he might be— he might want to come to the summit and all of a sudden, like, wow. He came to the summit and he learned a lot and blah blah blah. And then he was like, oh my gosh, you should totally like do this. This is a good idea. So maybe bring him along to the summit for him to watch about that. Because ultimately, if you make $100K, it would make his life a hell of a lot easier. Am I right?
Definitely, yes.
So he needs to look at you as an asset, not a liability.
Okay.
Because you're the diva on the go.
Yes.
You're the diva on the go. So yeah, I would definitely tell you to, to stay in touch with me. Let's keep the conversation going. And if you somehow magically are able to find a few thousand bucks, I can tell you exactly what to do with that money, where to put it, in order for you to basically almost guarantee that you're going to make 10 times that amount of money, whatever you want to invest. So if you say, Joe, I only have $3,000, I'll tell you, okay, that's how you're gonna make $30K. Put the money there. I wouldn't tell you to go get a Maxwell certification. I would tell you to use that money to get conversations. Use that money to join a community where the people want to have a conversation with you and where the 50-year-old women have money. There are places that you can pay to get in the door. There are plenty of organizations you can pay to get in the door. I'm not telling you to give me that money. I'm telling you where to put the money so that money can multiply for you. What's in it for me? I have a piece of software that when you're ready, you'll buy the piece of software. But I'm on a mission to help people. I'm not on a mission to do anything other than help you. And if you want to be helped, I could bring a horse to water, but I can't make the horse drink.
That's true. Yes. Okay. All right.
So I'm with you. Thank you very much for being here with me. And I'm looking forward to seeing you at the LinkedIn Influencer Summit, 2026.com. Tell your friends about it. I will. Thanks for spending some time with me. Yeah.
Can I ask you what part of the country you in right now?
I'm in New Jersey.
Oh, so you— okay, so you understand about the snow and ice?
100%. I understand about the snow and ice, and I understand that people want to talk anyway, and people need coaching and support even if it's snowing and there's ice.
Oh no, I was just saying that because I didn't want you to know that I was trying to blow you off. I was really after—
No, no, I believe you. Do you want me to send you— do you want me to send you a text with the link to the Influencer Summit, or did you find it?
No, I didn't find it yet. But yeah, because I wrote it down. But please send it to me.
Yeah, I just sent it to you as a text message so that you have it.
Okay. Okay. Thank you. I'll be on.
All right. We'll talk soon. Take care.
Okay.
Yeah.
Bye-bye.
So that was a great conversation that I had with someone who is interested in getting clients by using LinkedIn. But she can't really afford to make an investment at this time into the right strategy, the right community. Like, she's not able to do that at this time. So my question to you is, are you really serious? Like, if you can't— if you're not willing to make an investment in Getting the right community, the right strategy, the right accountability, getting the right software. Are you really serious about getting to your goal if you're not able to make those commitments? You know, like, that's, that's the question I'm— I always ask people. I'm like, how serious are you? Like, are you really, really serious? You know, like, how serious are you if you're, if you're not willing to make an investment right now in getting to Your goal. How serious are you about getting to your goal? Like if somebody says, "I want to lose weight," but they're not willing to exercise, they're not willing to diet, they're not willing to hire a trainer to support them. We we sometimes think that money is a limiting factor, but if you really need something, you find the money. Am I right? Like you find the money to make it happen if you really need something. Like if you really believed that this is the best thing in the world and this can really help you and you really wanted to get there, you would, even if you didn't think that this was 100% sure that this would happen, you would find a way to make it happen. You would find the money. That's my thought process. So my question to you is, what is holding you back from you getting to your goal? What is stopping you from achieving what you want? In your life? Is it that you don't have the right resources? Is it that you don't have the right strategy, the right community, the right accountability? What is stopping you from getting to your goal? I'm going to go ahead and call Zach. Oh, I have to take my son to a baseball tournament now.
Good luck.
So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to make a couple calls to people that raised their hand and said that they're interested in working with us, and we'll see how that goes. I'm going to close this here.
Close this.
I'm gonna hit dial. In the meantime, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put up— pull open LinkedIn over here on another profile, and I'm gonna see what's cooking on LinkedIn.
4, 8, 8, 3, 2, 4.
Now while this is happening, what I can do is I could put some music on for you guys to listen to. Let me see if I could find Some good music to listen to. Maybe we'll make up some music. What should we make music about?
You've reached the voicemail for Linda Lugo. I'm sorry I missed your call.
I'm so sorry I missed your call.
Okay. Not in right now, so please leave a message.
Let's see.
Thank you for calling.
We're going to put on a song in just a moment.
Hello?
Hi, is this Ralph?
Yes, it is.
Yesterday you requested some information about our 99 LinkedIn Hacks. Were you looking for clients or were you looking for a job?
A job?
You were looking for clients? Like you were— you wanted some information about LinkedIn.
Oh, LinkedIn. I'm sorry, I thought you said something else altogether.
Yeah, no, no worries.
Oh, can we start over again? I'm not at my desk, so that kind of has me at a disadvantage. Yeah, so what is—
No, so we teach people how to use LinkedIn and then we give them tools to make it more effective to find clients. It looks like you're a creative agency that brings brands to life. Am I right?
That's correct.
Okay, cool. And you're in Houston, right?
Yes. Uh, North Houston.
North Houston. Okay, cool. And do you current— do you currently use LinkedIn to get clients or you currently just use it as kind of like, um, how should I call it? Like a, like a, just like a placeholder?
No, I'm, um, that's what I'm looking into is trying to get clients through LinkedIn. Okay.
Um, I am looking at, I am looking at your LinkedIn and I see that you have 816 followers, but you've never posted on LinkedIn.
Right.
Did you know, did you know that you can post on LinkedIn and you can get 30,000 followers by just adding connections on LinkedIn?
No, I didn't. No, my— I've never taken advantage of LinkedIn. And I was talking to my niece and that's what we're exploring.
Yeah, I would, I would love— so your niece works with you at your company?
No, no, no, she doesn't. She works as an HR person for a big world company.
Oh, so because she works as an HR person, you figured she might know a thing or two about LinkedIn, right?
Oh yeah, of course. I mean, we're very close and, you know, she lives around the corner and she's contemporary and I've never Use LinkedIn. And so we're finally having this conversation and it's basically what's happening.
Amazing. And do you work together with Mike, Ellen, and Jason at your company or is it just you? Okay. You're working with the team.
Yeah. 3 of us, 4 of us actually.
The 4 of you. Okay. Amazing. Yeah. So I took a look at your website, took a look at your LinkedIn. I do see a lot of potential for you. Um, does, does, are you and Mike partners and you guys kind of do business development together?
Uh, no, I wouldn't call us partners. We're associates.
Okay.
He, uh, he used to be a client.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, and so now he's joined the team. And, um, anyway, we, uh, um, how could I put it, um, we had the— a personal situation and we weren't able to attend to the business. And so now we're getting back.
You're getting back into the swing of things. Do both of you— are both of you going to be doing some like networking and business development to get clients, or is it mainly on you?
Oh, well, it'll probably be mainly him.
Oh, okay.
And me if I can.
Right, right, right. So if you guys, if you guys work on it together, you guys would benefit a lot more than just you doing it or him doing it himself. That would be my opinion. Based on the— yeah.
Well, that's what we're looking for, opinions and, uh, uh, yeah, I think, I think, yeah, I think you're right.
You're missing a strategy. You need some training on how to use the platform. You need some technology and you possibly need a community of people that you guys are, you know, networking with together and building relationships in a group.
Right.
So I would, I would definitely, I have a solution called the Evie AI Bundle Plus. That allows you to be able to get a combination of strategy, community, training, technology, um, you know, for both you and Mike for an annual price. But my question to you is, would you have to make the decision together with Mike? Is it worth maybe getting you and Mike on a call together with me?
Uh, yes.
Okay. So why don't we do that? Why don't we schedule a call for me, you, and Mike to have a conversation? When do you think you might be available this coming week? Do you think Monday would be a good day for me, you, and Mike to get together?
Well, let me communicate with Mike first and, you know, film. And is there any way you can email me material unless you already have? I'm not sure.
Yeah, yeah, I already have sent you a message, but I can send you a text now with information about our Bundle Plus so you can watch our video.
Oh, wonderful.
I'll send you the link. It's thebundleplus.com. And then it kind of explains the whole thing and how it works.
Right.
I just sent you the link via, via, via text message. So you should have already received it just now.
Yeah, I felt the—
You felt it vibrate. Okay, great. Yeah. So yeah, let me know. Let me know what you think. Let me know when he's available. You could send me back Sometimes, you know, let me know. I'm gonna say, let me know what Mike says.
Okay.
Um, and then you could just respond to that text message and I'll get it in my system. And then we'll, and then we'll take it from there. Does that sound okay?
That sounds good. Um, uh, well, what part of the country are you in?
I'm in New Jersey.
Oh, okay. We're, uh, we're, uh, What kind of hat? Yeah, I just need to catch him because it's, it's, you know, it's, it's very cold down here and we're, we're not used to the cold down here. I mean, that's the only other thing is so—
Okay.
Sunday was the dip, you know.
Oh yeah. Well, I'm not, I'm not in a rush. You know, you could let me know when you're available and when you want to talk. Like, I'm just here to support you and to add value to you. You reached out and I figured I'd give you a buzz.
Okay.
Wonderful. And see what you're thinking, see how I can help you. I'm always, I'm always happy to help people that need support. I've been fortunate enough to train over 1,100 companies on how to use LinkedIn. I have 20— I have 23,000 users on my software. I have a community with 1,600 people. So I'm very grateful that I can make a difference for people and help them be able to be more successful using platforms like LinkedIn.
Wow, that's exciting.
Yeah.
Oh, seriously. Okay, that sounds great. Um, let me try to get ahold of Mike this weekend and fill him in and then we'll get back to you.
All right, excellent. Thank you very much. God bless you. Have a great weekend and I look forward to speaking to you soon.
What was your name again?
My name is Joe, J-O-E.
Oh, okay.
That's a very, uh, very, very easy, very easy name to remember.
A very American name.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, very easy name to remember. By the way, when you work with companies, what do they invest in your, in your services?
What do you mean exactly?
What do they pay you to work with you? Do you charge people by retainer? Do you charge hourly? Like, how do you work with people?
Well, it depends on the situation. Because it's—
You don't have like an official package? You kind of assess the situation and depending on what their goal is and what they want to achieve, you'd come up with a retainer price for them?
Well, typically it's a contract, but what we do is we meet with them and try to understand their needs and then come up with marketing solutions.
And what do people typically pay? What's the range of your client? Do people pay you like $500 for a project or do people pay you $50,000 for a project?
Well, it's individual, so I mean, we have a sliding range of our hourly rate, and then, you know, upon meeting with them and developing a preliminary strategy, then we come up with an idea of what it's going to cost. Some people may need a website along with social media and/or advertising of some sort. And then we basically have to analyze what their situation is, what's the best way to— how can I put it— market them, you know, through whatever media that's necessary. And then that's when we discuss this with them and we brainstorm. When we finally have an idea of what they actually need, short-term, long-term, and, you know, the reason we call it EC360 is, you know, we just take a 360 viewpoint and come up with creative solutions. We're highly creative, and— but you never know what the client may need. And, you know, it could be a small company or a Fortune 500 company. And, you know, whatever their needs are, that's what we address.
And, uh, do you have like a typical— do you have like a typical fee that you charge clients?
Well, um, I mean, it starts with the— it will start with a retainer of sorts, but, you know, we just come up with—
Where does it range? Yeah, what is the retainer range usually?
Hmm.
Is it like a $1,000 retainer or is it like a $20,000 retainer? Like, where— what's the most recent client that you worked with and what did they invest with you?
Well, I'm trying to remember. I believe basically it started with like $1,800 simply to meet with them and try to get an idea of what their needs were, and it was a real estate company. And I know it wasn't— it was a, uh, what do you call it, uh, companies that build houses. Oh, that's what it was, like a developer. Yeah, yeah. I just ran into him in the lobby and, uh, we started talking and, you know, we took it from there. And then, uh, we, we, uh, met and, uh, uh, then we brainstormed and You know, we just told them, well, let's start with a consultation fee. It was a very unique type of beginning, and that's the way we started it. And then we took it from there. Amazing.
Amazing. And what did they end up paying you guys?
Uh, gee, I'm gonna have to make it from— let's see, trying to recall what the whole thing was. I think it was in the neighborhood around $15,000.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, basically we worked on the— on their website mostly. And I think a YouTube channel that they, they needed redone because it wasn't communicating, you know, their actual strengths. And yeah, there was something else. And I think their logo.
Oh, wow.
You know, it's, you know, we do, we do everything.
Yeah, it sounds like you do everything. So, you know, companies can spend tens of thousands of dollars with you. So if you got one new client as a result of doing stuff on LinkedIn, that would be very lucrative for you.
Right. And, um, I think, uh, 2 days ago I saw this, um, I watched this, um, what was it called? Um, oh, ghostwriting, AI ghostwriting. You know, because basically AI and what we do, it's all about thinking and problem solving.
Exactly. That's what it's about. It's not about trying to figure things out. It's about knowing how to use AI in a way that would really have a human connection because AI could write a bunch of garbage. It could do a lot of trash. You need a real great strategist to help you be able to do the things correctly.
Yeah, it was, uh, it was amazing. I mean, I, I write to a certain degree. I mean, I, uh, sometimes I, I write the, um, the brochure presentation, you know. We— and by brochure, I mean oil and gas type of brochures. And yeah, but it's Mike that does the actual writing.
100%.
And Ellen, she's, she's a genius writer. I mean, she's She's like, she's like AI.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's just, yeah.
So what, what I would, what I would suggest that we do is let's try to see if we can get Mike on the phone, have a conversation with him and see how we can help you.
That sounds great. Yeah.
So that's the next step.
Yeah, that'll be ideal.
All right, great. So I look forward to chatting again with you soon. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and we'll talk soon. Let me know what Mike says.
Okay, excellent. Thank you so much, Joe.
Thank you, Ralph. All the best. Bye.
Bye-bye.

I didn't realize. Oh my goodness, this is crazy. This is so good. And what I want to do is I want to have trends coming in constantly. Oh, and look at this, you can do a score range. This is good stuff. Oh, and you can have a theme. Okay, preview will soon be available. Loading our page. 27 generated today. 3-second profile makeover. Oh my God, this is so good. So if you guys want me to create a vibe coding application for you that you can actually use, let me know. Happy to have a vibe coding session with you. Thank you for watching this.
