Stop renting your leads
It's killing your growth. Do this instead:

Paying $15K upfront for lead gen might sound wild… until you run the numbers. Especially if you’re paying retainers every month.
When I started, I was making the same mistake coaches, consultants, and agencies fall into:
I was renting my pipeline.
I paid the monthly fees, let the agency “run the system,” and got meetings…
Until I didn’t.
The moment I paused the retainer, everything disappeared:
No system
No SOPs
No intellectual property
It was like paying for a house and realizing the whole time you were living in a hotel. The moment you stop paying, the door closes.
That’s when I realized something most people never do:
Done-for-you lead gen is dead.
The problem? You don’t own it. You only rent it.
The Better Way: My Plug-and-Play Offer™
I built a system you actually own. One that runs inside your business.
Here’s what makes it different:
One-time setup—no $5K–$10K monthly drain
No extra headcount needed
No sales team required
Predictable costs (~$600/month tech stack vs. $60K/year retainers)
Scales your pipeline while you sleep
This setup pays for itself in 90 days… and then keeps scaling your business even when you’re on holiday.
This isn’t a pitch. It’s a wake-up call for anyone still renting their growth.
Reply to this email with the word “PIPELINE” and I’ll walk you through how you can integrate this system into your own business.

Stop Paying $5K/Month for Leads You Don’t Own (Build This Instead)
Traditional lead generation agencies are becoming outdated. Founders are moving away from paying high agency retainers. It's time to adopt new systems and focus on content creation.
