You’re Working Too Damn Hard

How we went from $1k deals to $10k deals without changing our service.

Not interested in hearing from Lean Leverage or Go Carpathian?

In Partnership With

We booked 421 sales calls last year without working more hours or blowing money on ads.

(And no, we’re not a lead gen agency🤮) 

That’s 421 chances for real conversations with our dream customers who had money to spend on what we were selling.

And what’s wild is that it didn’t come from us working overtime or spending thousands of dollars extra on our Marketing budget. 

It came from finally stopping the things that weren’t working and effectively showing our expertise and value.

But if we’re keeping things 100, we weren’t always booking these numbers…

When I started Go Carpathian, we had the same problem that almost every agency has. 

We needed more clients, so we tried everything. 

  • We ran cold email. 

  • Sent cold DMs. 

  • Tested Facebook ads. 

  • Ran 𝕏 ads. 

  • Built lead magnets. 

  • Tweaked funnels. 

We even lowered our prices just to get people on the phone.

At one point, we were charging $1,000 for a service we now sell for over $10,000.

So what changed?

It wasn’t our services; it was how people perceived us.

They started to see the proof, see the value, and see how we could make their dream outcomes come true. 

The mistake we didn’t realize we were making

We thought our job was to explain how good we were.

To give you some context, Go Carpathian is a recruitment agency that helps business owners in the U.S hire incredible talent from South Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the U.S.

And, up until then, most of our leads came from our newsletter, but we were using it the wrong way.

We were trying to educate people.

→ Here’s how to hire better.
→ Here’s how to build a team.
→ Here’s how to think about offshore talent.

And, it worked… kind of.

We got leads, but nothing crazy.

Then, one week, we tried something different.

Instead of teaching, we sent out a few real candidates we wanted to place.

Short videos of them.
A quick write-up on why they would be a great fit for your company.

And leads went through the roof. 

So we did it again the next week. Just with different candidates and more proof.

And you guessed it, we got even more leads.

That’s when it hit me.

We didn’t need to convince people with better copy.

We just had to show our work.

When people could actually see who they were going to hire and what they were getting, the trust was already there before the call even happened.
