Introduction to Solarpreneur Podcast
00:00:00
Speaker
Look, in the solar business, there's really only two types of people.
00:00:04
Speaker
There's the ones that crush it, make six, seven, and eight figures, and then there's everyone else.
00:00:08
Speaker
The question is, which one will you be?

Welcome to the Solarpreneur Podcast.
Tyler Eggleston's Achievements
00:00:53
Speaker
What's going down, solarpreneurs?
00:00:56
Speaker
Today we have got one of my amigos here from California.
00:01:01
Speaker
His name is Tyler Eggleston.
00:01:03
Speaker
That's how you say your last name, right, Tyler?
00:01:05
Speaker
Yeah, you got it right.
00:01:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's Tyler Eggleston.
00:01:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:08
Speaker
So we're here in California.
00:01:10
Speaker
He's a little bit north of me, but we're excited to have him here on the podcast because Tyler, I actually just barely saw him in Nashville.
00:01:19
Speaker
I was at Funnel Hacking Live.
00:01:21
Speaker
I saw him walk on stage.
00:01:23
Speaker
and not only get one, but two, two comma cup awards.
00:01:28
Speaker
And for those of you who don't know what that is, that is $1 million through a sales funnel online.
00:01:34
Speaker
So in his case, it'd be $2 million.
00:01:36
Speaker
So Tyler, congrats on that award and thanks for being on the show, my
Goal Setting and Skill Mastery
00:01:41
Speaker
man.
00:01:41
Speaker
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
00:01:43
Speaker
So thanks, happy to be here.
00:01:45
Speaker
Yeah, so let me ask you, how did you feel walking up on that stage?
00:01:49
Speaker
but it had to be a huge accomplishment.
00:01:51
Speaker
What were your thoughts walking on that stage and getting those awards?
00:01:55
Speaker
Well, more of it was last year.
00:01:58
Speaker
So I was at the event the year previous and I saw everybody walking across the stage and I was like, man, I need to make it a commitment and a goal next year to do that.
00:02:09
Speaker
And it was just kind of a matter of kind of getting my focus down to stop focusing on so many things and just get really good at doing one thing and doing it right.
00:02:22
Speaker
um so i just you know it was it just felt good you know it's kind of like russell was saying uh like whoever whenever you win like a wrestling match it's just always cool like have your hand be raised and so it's kind of like just that uh quick acknowledgement of just saying hey you did this um so i just celebrated and just kind of like all right on to the next award so uh here i'm definitely going for that eight figure award want to hit that
00:02:47
Speaker
10 million and what's funny is I actually did last year over 5 million through those funnels I just didn't have time to actually turn in to get the other awards so I just turned those in the other day I've been so busy so that's yeah so it was it was exciting you know it was cool but you just got to kind of get back to the focus and just kind of go for the next thing so
00:03:14
Speaker
Heck yeah.
00:03:15
Speaker
That's awesome.
00:03:16
Speaker
Never be satisfied.
00:03:17
Speaker
I think that's one of the secrets.
00:03:19
Speaker
Do you feel like it was more of an accomplishment?
00:03:23
Speaker
It's tougher to get your first two common cup award, then get the second one.
00:03:30
Speaker
Honestly, the Two Comic Club Award I think is very easy to do.
00:03:34
Speaker
And I think people, what's going on is everybody thinks that you need like a widget and you need a chat bot and you need this email sequence and you need all these things.
00:03:45
Speaker
And what it comes down to is this is the basic roots.
00:03:48
Speaker
Like you don't need to have all like
Transition from Door-to-Door to Team Management
00:03:51
Speaker
everything.
00:03:51
Speaker
And I think people get so sidetracked when something new comes out and they have to implement it into their business and that that's going to be the one thing that changes their business.
00:03:59
Speaker
And there's just so much crap out there where you will literally have the tools in front of you.
00:04:05
Speaker
All you need is Facebook ads, a funnel, a funnel,
00:04:10
Speaker
and that's really all you need.
00:04:12
Speaker
And then you kind of need to get a team.
00:04:14
Speaker
So I think a lot of people lack getting a team.
00:04:18
Speaker
Getting a team is very important.
00:04:20
Speaker
And so for anybody that's listening to this, that's a solar guy, I was knocking doors.
00:04:25
Speaker
I'll kind of give you guys my story and why you should.
00:04:27
Speaker
Let's hear that.
00:04:28
Speaker
For a second.
00:04:30
Speaker
So I started knocking doors when I was 21, and I knocked until I was about 24.
00:04:35
Speaker
I did it for three years and it was a grind, you know, and I think everybody should knock doors.
00:04:41
Speaker
There's so many lessons you've learned and it's awesome.
00:04:45
Speaker
But the problem with it is you only have so much time in a day.
00:04:48
Speaker
And so what I would do is I would knock doors.
00:04:50
Speaker
It was back when you could do a paper contract and have somebody sign.
00:04:53
Speaker
You didn't have to have e-signatures or anything.
00:04:54
Speaker
That came out.
00:04:56
Speaker
And so when that came out,
00:04:59
Speaker
it kind of changed everything.
00:05:00
Speaker
So I would knock one day to set appointments for the next day or for that night.
00:05:04
Speaker
And the next day I would try and go to all those appointments, hopefully that they would show up and then sell.
00:05:09
Speaker
And so it just sucked.
00:05:10
Speaker
It was like back and forth every other day.
00:05:12
Speaker
And then I kind of went with the whole
00:05:15
Speaker
hiring canvassers, right?
00:05:17
Speaker
And I would pay them like 50 bucks for every appointment that sat.
00:05:22
Speaker
So I would get people and I would have them go out and knock doors for me.
00:05:25
Speaker
I would train them up.
00:05:26
Speaker
And after like the first week, half of them would quit because they didn't like rejection, knocking doors is tough, you know?
00:05:34
Speaker
So just the whole process of like,
00:05:38
Speaker
training people, wasting, I felt like I wasted my time because then they quit and I was just like, man, there's gotta be a better way than just doing this.
00:05:46
Speaker
And so then I actually, I went out, I did it long enough where I went out and I bought a bus.
00:05:51
Speaker
So instead of having people drive, I figured, you know, if I could just get a bus,
00:05:56
Speaker
take people, drop them off in a neighborhood, and then actually pick them up later on.
00:06:01
Speaker
They wouldn't be able to leave and go back to their car, and they'd be forced to stay out in the field.
00:06:07
Speaker
And it worked out, actually, pretty good.
00:06:10
Speaker
Yeah, so I would just drop them off, and then whatever they said, they'd call me, and then I would just go close the appointment.
00:06:17
Speaker
And it worked.
00:06:19
Speaker
I did it for a good amount of time.
00:06:21
Speaker
But then the same thing, you know, people eventually would quit.
00:06:23
Speaker
You're still rehiring.
00:06:24
Speaker
And it was just a pain in the butt.
00:06:26
Speaker
So the next step from there was I started buying leads.
00:06:32
Speaker
And so I started buying leads from a company called Lead Genesis.
00:06:36
Speaker
And the problem when I bought leads actually was...
00:06:42
Speaker
I would pay for an exclusive lead and it would be anywhere from like 66 bucks in California up to like $100 or more.
00:06:49
Speaker
And what I would find out when I would call them is they would literally be like, hey, you're the fifth person to call me.
00:06:55
Speaker
Like, what is this?
00:06:57
Speaker
And I'm like, are you serious?
00:06:58
Speaker
And so I found out that the exclusive wasn't exclusive.
00:07:01
Speaker
Or if you find print, it told you it was exclusive for like three days and then they would resell it.
00:07:06
Speaker
So there you go.
Effective Lead Generation with ClickFunnels
00:07:08
Speaker
Yeah, so basically what I did from there is I actually followed Tai Lopez, which I'm sure most of you guys did.
00:07:16
Speaker
And everyone knows Tai.
00:07:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:20
Speaker
And he had this little VIP course.
00:07:22
Speaker
So I took his little 67 steps.
00:07:25
Speaker
But I paid for his VIP, and that's where I found out about Russell Brunson.
00:07:31
Speaker
and click funnels and so I just kind of started you know checking out click funnels and I took like an e-commerce course from Justin senior but the most important part of that was I learned how to do Facebook ads and I applied it with click funnels and no joke probably the first day I launched
00:07:51
Speaker
it I got about two leads for like eight dollars each and I was like no way so that's kind of where I get super excited and I realized wow this is nuts so instead of you know paying for all these other leads and having them go to multiple people if I could generate my own leads and sell my own leads this is going to be much better so knocking doors before generating leads I think the biggest month I had was like eight thousand dollars
00:08:19
Speaker
And then when I started generating leads, that first month I did that, I made 20 grand.
00:08:27
Speaker
And I couldn't believe it.
00:08:28
Speaker
I was like so static.
00:08:30
Speaker
You know, I was only like 23 or 24 at the time.
00:08:35
Speaker
And none of my friends, like no one that I knew was making that kind of money.
00:08:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:40
Speaker
And it almost like was intimidating.
00:08:42
Speaker
Like all my other friends were just kind of like intimidated by it.
00:08:45
Speaker
And I was just, you know, on the high of the high, like living large in a sense.
00:08:50
Speaker
Just super pumped.
00:08:52
Speaker
And the next month, I broke that record and I did 26,000.
00:08:55
Speaker
Oh my gosh.
00:08:56
Speaker
And then from there, I just had too many leads.
00:09:01
Speaker
Like I had way more than what I could handle.
00:09:04
Speaker
And so I started to sell them to other people in the solar company that I worked with.
00:09:09
Speaker
And so, kind of what I realize is I only have so much time in the day.
00:09:16
Speaker
Right, by myself.
00:09:18
Speaker
And so for anyone that wants to build a team, lead generation is awesome because you can generate leads not only for yourself, but then if you start giving them to your team, you get overrides on those too.
00:09:31
Speaker
You can definitely make a ton of money.
Scaling Growth through Collaboration
00:09:33
Speaker
And this is also, I mean, I made 20 grand back when I was getting paid like $1,500 a sale.
00:09:38
Speaker
And that's a day.
00:09:38
Speaker
I mean, you can like...
00:09:40
Speaker
way more than that a job so oh yeah i think the most i closed in a month was 16 um and that was also only working for three months three weeks out of the month because i made so much money and i was just like living at home still i took last week off i didn't you know i was like i've made plenty of money i'm gonna relax and enjoy myself so yeah um incredible you know looking back at it now
00:10:02
Speaker
I could have made probably 40, 50 or more easily with the comp plan that people have now, which is killer.
00:10:09
Speaker
So I would just, you know, for anybody out there, definitely check out, you know, and just watch YouTube.
00:10:17
Speaker
That's all you really need to do for like lead forms.
00:10:20
Speaker
But if you want to get into making even more money, then what I would recommend is working first as a sales rep.
00:10:31
Speaker
Making money and then saving that money
00:10:34
Speaker
So that way, and then the company you're working with, start selling them leads.
00:10:40
Speaker
Or find another company that wants to buy the leads from you.
00:10:42
Speaker
Because now I have an army, and now I'm basically working with the sixth largest company in the nation.
00:10:51
Speaker
And it started out with me basically just working with one small business.
00:10:58
Speaker
So, it's called Freedom Forever, and they're a massive large installer.
00:11:04
Speaker
This last year I took them to be the 135th fastest growing company in the US for my leads and we basically have over a thousand sales reps.
00:11:18
Speaker
What I did was, if you just kind of think of it as like a McDonald's, right?
00:11:22
Speaker
So let's just pretend that the company that I work with, they are the headquarters of McDonald's.
00:11:29
Speaker
And there's all kinds of franchises, right?
00:11:31
Speaker
Just like there's thousands and thousands of solar companies out there.
00:11:35
Speaker
Essentially what I did is I found one of them that wanted to buy my leads and scale and really grow their business.
00:11:42
Speaker
And within three months, we did over a million dollars of revenue after working with them for three months on their third month.
00:11:51
Speaker
In that third month, they actually did a million that month, which was huge.
00:11:56
Speaker
Crazy.
00:11:57
Speaker
And so the owner basically was like, how the heck is this guy?
00:12:01
Speaker
He's brand new.
00:12:02
Speaker
He just owned his McDonald's or started his McDonald's with us essentially, right?
00:12:06
Speaker
How is he the number one guy out of all of these other thousands of people that I have killing it?
00:12:13
Speaker
And so essentially what happened is I just worked my butt off with this one guy and got in contact with a whale is what I would call him.
00:12:21
Speaker
And he basically said, hey, look, I love what you're doing with this guy here.
00:12:26
Speaker
I happen to have another, you know, 100 plus companies that need leads.
00:12:31
Speaker
And so now I'm just generating leads.
00:12:35
Speaker
And what I do is I sell those leads to the company.
00:12:40
Speaker
And yeah, so I'm actually down here at the call center right now at the headquarters.
00:12:43
Speaker
So I come here and kind of help them out just because if they're doing well, then they're going to want to keep doing business with me.
00:12:53
Speaker
Part of it is just like you gotta grow a team.
00:12:55
Speaker
What's up?
00:12:56
Speaker
Are these solar leads still?
00:12:58
Speaker
Yeah, they're solar leads.
00:12:59
Speaker
That's all I do.
00:13:00
Speaker
So I'm just in the solar industry.
00:13:02
Speaker
I'm doing solar leads.
00:13:03
Speaker
I mean, there is so much money in the solar industry.
00:13:06
Speaker
I think it's like the modern gold rush.
00:13:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:10
Speaker
It's a great industry to be in so whether you're a sales rep or you know if you're any pretty much anywhere in the solar industry you're in a good spot But if you can get on the marketing side of it, you know, it's kind of nice to be able to work from home or work in a
00:13:27
Speaker
If you want to go down and work at their office here and there, you could do that.
00:13:31
Speaker
But it's just nice because now I can literally do whatever I want.
00:13:35
Speaker
My ads are running all the time, so I'm still making money,
Crafting Unique Sales Pitches
00:13:39
Speaker
which is really cool.
00:13:39
Speaker
So that's a little bit of my story and where I came from.
00:13:44
Speaker
That's incredible.
00:13:45
Speaker
But you gotta make yourself different.
00:13:48
Speaker
So there's so much noise in the solar industry.
00:13:51
Speaker
The biggest thing I think with a lot of people that maybe have already tried and have failed Facebook ads is because your ad was the same as everybody else's ad.
00:13:59
Speaker
It was the whole no cost down or like no money down, lower your electric bills.
00:14:06
Speaker
So everyone's saying that.
00:14:08
Speaker
So you gotta come up with something that's completely different.
00:14:11
Speaker
It makes you
00:14:13
Speaker
Makes it when somebody's on Facebook or when someone is looking at your ad, it grabs their attention.
00:14:19
Speaker
And, you know, whether that is,
00:14:23
Speaker
basically like a random image, a video, something with a lot of color.
00:14:28
Speaker
You got to have a good headline.
00:14:30
Speaker
Like that's what you're going to, you know, all that comes into play of me spending over like $5 million last year just on Facebook ads alone.
00:14:37
Speaker
Um, just kind of figuring out what works and what doesn't work.
00:14:42
Speaker
Um, and so it's, it's just a lot of testing, but you can figure it out pretty quickly.
00:14:47
Speaker
Um, and so, uh, there's obviously, uh,
00:14:50
Speaker
A lot more things or gold nuggets I could give out on that.
00:14:52
Speaker
So, yeah, that's my story.
00:14:55
Speaker
That's incredible.
00:14:56
Speaker
Well, yeah, it's crazy to think.
00:14:58
Speaker
I know we got people listening to this that are pinching themselves because it seems like insane that you can just start joining your own needs.
00:15:05
Speaker
We got guys that are knocking.
00:15:07
Speaker
that are struggling to get leads every day.
00:15:09
Speaker
And I mean, it's crazy.
00:15:10
Speaker
You can put that out on Facebook and master it and then boom, just like that, make 26 grand in a month doing it.
00:15:16
Speaker
So what would you say?
00:15:18
Speaker
Like part of being a solopreneur is what we call our crowd of listening to the podcast here.
00:15:24
Speaker
We're trying to teach people to not only be able to knock doors, which is great, but also do stuff like you're doing and be able to generate their own leads online.
00:15:34
Speaker
How would you, so I guess, how did you figure out that you needed to be different?
00:15:40
Speaker
Because I talked to a lot of people that have maybe tried.
00:15:43
Speaker
We got like ClickFunnels Funnels.
00:15:45
Speaker
We got guys that follow Ryan Steumann that have the phone sites stuff going on.
00:15:51
Speaker
And some people have success, some people don't.
00:15:53
Speaker
But where did you, where do you, how did you figure out that you needed to be different?
00:15:57
Speaker
Was it just through testing over time?
00:15:59
Speaker
You saw this, you had to be different from all the other companies and that's how you kind of started to blow it up or?
00:16:06
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, so it's kind of a broad question, but I would say, so I found out that I needed to be different from day one on the doors, right?
00:16:14
Speaker
So obviously you can have a pitch that someone's given you and knock a hundred doors and maybe you get one or two people that'll listen to you.
00:16:24
Speaker
And that's why people would get, they get burnt out.
00:16:27
Speaker
And so I figured, you know, hey, if I'm going to spend my time today knocking doors, I better be productive.
00:16:34
Speaker
And so what I would do is I would basically, when I, you know, kind of going back to knocking doors, just kind of open up with like a friendly conversation and just kind of let them know, you know, the whole, hey, I'm not here to sell you kind of thing.
00:16:50
Speaker
We kind of were a little different.
00:16:51
Speaker
We're a little edgy.
00:16:52
Speaker
We kind of in the beginning it's probably not even something that I would recommend doing but we would say we were like an hearing specialist and we would go on the side of the house and pretend to look at their smart meter and then have them bring their bill back out and then kind of just walk them through how the bill works and that kind of hey you know we could put this on your roof and save you money.
00:17:12
Speaker
That was like when I first started, right?
00:17:13
Speaker
But I kind of, from that, even though it was edgy, that's just what I was trained.
00:17:18
Speaker
And I learned from being edgy that you don't want to lie to people, but you got to come up with something that's going to make you different.
Non-Pushy Sales Techniques
00:17:26
Speaker
And so...
00:17:27
Speaker
we would do something that would be a little bit different.
00:17:31
Speaker
And then inside the home, what I would do is rather than being a super pushy sales guy, I would either close the deal, but if somebody was on the fence, something that I did that works out really, really well is I would just let them know, hey, look,
00:17:46
Speaker
You know, we need to get a site survey over here.
00:17:48
Speaker
I don't even know if we can get you solar.
00:17:51
Speaker
So I would pitch them the whole price.
00:17:52
Speaker
I would pitch them everything.
00:17:54
Speaker
And then what I would let them, like pretty much, I would let them decide if they wanted to go solar or not.
00:17:59
Speaker
I would just let them know, hey, let's get a site survey over here.
00:18:02
Speaker
You're going to sign all these paperwork and all these docs for multiple reasons.
00:18:06
Speaker
One is, you know, there's liability reasons when somebody goes on your roof.
00:18:10
Speaker
We don't want to, if we break a tile or something like that, we need to replace it.
00:18:15
Speaker
And two if he falls off, it's just that way nobody's gonna get sued.
00:18:20
Speaker
But someone needs to really come up on the roof with the sun eye and measure and make sure what I propose to you is something that we can actually do.
00:18:26
Speaker
And then from there after the site survey, I'll give you a call and you guys just let me know if you want to move forward or not.
00:18:32
Speaker
And so I would just do that with people that were on the fence.
00:18:35
Speaker
I wouldn't do that with every single sale.
00:18:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:39
Speaker
But I'm telling you, nine out of the 10 homes I would go to, I would leave with a signature.
00:18:44
Speaker
And it wasn't just throwing crap on the wall, you know, and hoping it would stick.
00:18:48
Speaker
But when I found out, hey, you know, rather than being that pushy guy and kind of doing the whole Grant Cardone stuff, I love Grant, but when, you know, you gotta let the customer really make the decision.
00:18:59
Speaker
And then the people that you need to push over on the edge, that's when you just kind of take it away.
00:19:04
Speaker
So you put something in front of them, you let them know you can help, and then you take it away
00:19:08
Speaker
and say, hey, we don't even know if you can get this.
00:19:11
Speaker
So, you know, I know you guys need to take some time to think about it.
00:19:16
Speaker
Some things too that I would do is I'd walk out to my car and I'd actually go sit in my car and say, hey, gotta make a phone call.
00:19:22
Speaker
You guys go ahead and talk about it for a second and then I'll come back in and you just let me know what you wanna do.
00:19:27
Speaker
And a lot of times when I would do that, I'd come back in and they'd be like, all right, let's do it.
00:19:31
Speaker
Or they would just tell me, hey, we still need to think about it.
00:19:33
Speaker
And if they still needed to think about it, that's kind of when I would push the whole site survey thing and just kind of say, hey, I don't know if we can get this done.
00:19:40
Speaker
Let's just go ahead and sign these docs.
00:19:42
Speaker
You guys still have time to think about it.
00:19:43
Speaker
You're not locked into anything.
00:19:46
Speaker
And I hardly ever had those canceled.
00:19:48
Speaker
Like it was very rare that somebody would cancel after a site survey was done just because then they knew, okay, this is legit.
00:19:55
Speaker
This is actually a company.
00:19:56
Speaker
Somebody came to my house and you just got to be really likable.
00:19:59
Speaker
Like if you can make yourself
00:20:01
Speaker
a likable person, people do business with people.
00:20:04
Speaker
They don't do business with another person or with another business.
00:20:08
Speaker
They're doing it because of you.
00:20:10
Speaker
So that's probably the biggest thing that I learned when I was knocking doors and just as a sales guy in general.
Lessons from Door-Knocking
00:20:20
Speaker
Now if we're gonna talk about
00:20:22
Speaker
Being different online, it's the same thing.
00:20:24
Speaker
I learned it from day one knocking doors and that's why I think people need to knock doors.
00:20:28
Speaker
I wish everybody in their life had to go knock doors for a year.
00:20:31
Speaker
The world would be a better place.
00:20:34
Speaker
I mean, you learn, wow, how grateful I am to have a family or my house doesn't look like this or people are yelling at each other and screaming and I was just like, wow, I didn't realize how blessed I am.
00:20:46
Speaker
There's just so many things you learn from knocking doors.
00:20:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, that's huge.
00:20:53
Speaker
Well, I'm sure you've coached people and helped a lot of people do the same thing you're doing.
00:20:59
Speaker
But in my case, and I know people have been the same, I got into the online lead gen probably, I don't know, six months or so ago is when I first started thinking like that.
00:21:08
Speaker
Like, oh, maybe there is actually a way besides knocking doors that I can generate leads.
00:21:14
Speaker
And that's when I started out.
00:21:16
Speaker
I hired like a guy that was already doing it to coach me.
00:21:19
Speaker
His name was Ben Claybrook.
00:21:21
Speaker
He's kind of my first coach on it.
00:21:23
Speaker
And I don't know if you experienced the same thing.
00:21:26
Speaker
Maybe you have some stories too, but I launched my funnel.
00:21:29
Speaker
I was getting leads for about a month or so close to three deals.
00:21:34
Speaker
But then after that, my results just bombed.
00:21:37
Speaker
Wasn't getting as good a results and wasn't just was kind of overwhelmed.
00:21:43
Speaker
I didn't know what to do with my ads.
00:21:44
Speaker
Didn't know how to tweak my ads.
00:21:46
Speaker
Didn't know.
00:21:47
Speaker
where to go from there and so that's when I kinda like gave up a little bit.
00:21:51
Speaker
Luckily it's gotten a little better since then.
00:21:54
Speaker
But I started to realize it's, you gotta tweak your ads, you do gotta be different.
00:21:59
Speaker
I didn't think about that.
00:22:00
Speaker
I thought I could just launch one ad, launch my same funnel and it would generate leads for the rest of my life but.
00:22:07
Speaker
Well what did your ad say?
00:22:09
Speaker
My ad, I was using banner ads and it was the same.
00:22:12
Speaker
Like you mentioned before, it was just like the zero down solar program, just like free solar in California, something like that.
00:22:22
Speaker
Just, I think kind of the typical ad that you see.
00:22:26
Speaker
Is yours a similar ad on Facebook or is that what everyone's pretty much doing in California now?
00:22:31
Speaker
Yeah, so, I mean, the biggest thing with that is depending what state you're in, it doesn't matter.
00:22:37
Speaker
You need to act like it's something that's new that just happened.
00:22:42
Speaker
Your headline, if you don't have a good headline, I mean, you have five seconds for somebody to see it.
00:22:47
Speaker
Uh, the other thing is I don't just use images of solar on a roof.
00:22:52
Speaker
I will use like photos of the beach, photos of a boat, photos of a sunset, photos, anything that's beautiful that will catch your eye.
00:23:03
Speaker
It doesn't have to be an image of solar.
00:23:06
Speaker
Um,
00:23:07
Speaker
You know, I will do some images with solar, but the thing is, I think a lot of people give up because they don't test a lot of ads.
Testing and Optimizing Facebook Ads
00:23:16
Speaker
And so when I'm, I have thousands, bless you, thousands of ads running and kind of day one, what you have to know is until your ad has 6,000 impressions, the algorithm on Facebook does, it has no clue.
00:23:33
Speaker
Like it has no data to really,
00:23:37
Speaker
judge where those ads should be placed.
00:23:40
Speaker
So until you have 6,000 impressions on an ad, you have no idea.
00:23:46
Speaker
So my rule of thumb is if I launch an ad and I spend 50 bucks and I don't get a conversion, I kill it.
00:23:56
Speaker
And then if I have an ad that's doing well and I'm getting leads for like a dollar, I know they're not going to stay a dollar because it's only, it has only gotten like 128 impressions.
00:24:06
Speaker
So, but it's a good start, right?
00:24:08
Speaker
And so, even if anything clicks for 20 bucks, 30 bucks, I'm happy.
00:24:15
Speaker
Because I know over time, once it gets to 6,000 impressions, I know that it's going to be pretty consistent with whatever it got.
00:24:23
Speaker
And if that happens to be anything, honestly, under 40 bucks, I'll run with that all day long.
00:24:29
Speaker
Because I know it's about one out of four or one out of five leads is going to turn into an appointment.
00:24:35
Speaker
So if I'm spending $200 to get an appointment,
00:24:39
Speaker
I would rather spend $200 all day long to put myself in a house than knock doors all day long because if I can have a day of four or five appointments every day, I mean, I'm gonna close
00:24:52
Speaker
let's say half of them cancel and then I have a 90% close rate.
00:24:57
Speaker
I mean, I'm still going to get one or two a day and I spent $200.
00:25:01
Speaker
So maybe I spent 800 bucks to get an actual sale, but because I'm going to be making three or four grand on the sale, it's worth it.
00:25:09
Speaker
And I didn't have to knock a door and I can be way more productive.
00:25:12
Speaker
And some days you're not going to have a 50% cancellation rate at the house.
00:25:16
Speaker
You know, you're going to have a,
00:25:18
Speaker
full day.
00:25:20
Speaker
It's just the law of numbers and law of averages.
00:25:23
Speaker
It's about half the people.
00:25:25
Speaker
If you book anything that's not a next day, 50% of them are going to cancel on you.
00:25:30
Speaker
So you want to set everything for next day and don't try and push it out.
00:25:34
Speaker
If today is, let's say it's Monday, even though it's Friday, and they won't look for Saturday, the chances are they're not going to remember.
00:25:40
Speaker
So you really want to book everything for the next day if possible.
00:25:45
Speaker
And then, you know, if they can't, that's fine.
00:25:48
Speaker
But just make sure you kind of follow up with them before you go to that appointment.
00:25:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:54
Speaker
So let me ask you, did you have any like early struggles with your ads?
00:25:58
Speaker
Cause I'm sure you had to kind of learn the process too, but how did you go from launching your first ads and actually getting them convert converting in, I guess what kind of training here?
00:26:08
Speaker
coaching did it take for you built for you to be able to crack the code and you gotta get your ads to convert did you have kind of the up and down like I did or was it like you launched them in instant success type thing for you no I was actually very edgy so I was very edgy and he made a I didn't know like when click funnels was really new and you couldn't like it was hard to attach a domain when I started yeah I made a
00:26:35
Speaker
I made an email address that was called PG&E, and then I put some random numbers in it at gmail.com.
00:26:42
Speaker
So then when people would look at my website, they thought it was a PG&E website.
00:26:46
Speaker
And I put all this PG&E crap on it.
00:26:50
Speaker
And so I got leads right away because I was saying it was a PG&E solar program.
00:26:54
Speaker
And so I got leads for dirt cheap, but then after I got probably like 200 of them,
00:27:01
Speaker
P.G.A.
00:27:02
Speaker
contacted me and sent me a letter in the mail and we're like, hey, you can't do this.
00:27:05
Speaker
And I was like, crap.
00:27:06
Speaker
So I was like, okay, there goes that.
00:27:08
Speaker
And they're like, you better take this off or you're going to get a lawsuit.
00:27:14
Speaker
But I learned a lot of stuff from that.
00:27:17
Speaker
I learned, hey, I got to be different.
00:27:19
Speaker
And I
00:27:24
Speaker
So essentially from doing that, I was just like, okay, so then what I did is I made something where I called it a California County Solar Program.
00:27:33
Speaker
So I got the idea from Pace Programs that this is a county program and I started making ads that were, hey, this is something that launched in your county, your county approved this.
Adapting Ad Strategies through Testing
00:27:45
Speaker
And people will relate if it's something that is exclusive in their state or exclusive in their city or exclusive in their county.
00:27:53
Speaker
And you wanna make it sound exclusive to them, right?
00:27:55
Speaker
You gotta relate and you gotta talk to them especially.
00:28:00
Speaker
And that's something that really helped out a lot.
00:28:02
Speaker
But if it's something broad and you're just being like everybody else, hey, go solar, it's no cost down, this and that, yada, yada, yada.
00:28:09
Speaker
You know, it's just, you're speaking the same thing.
00:28:12
Speaker
You're just the same noise as everybody else.
00:28:14
Speaker
So in order to stick out of that noise, you gotta do something different than everybody else.
00:28:18
Speaker
So it's pretty much what I did.
00:28:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:22
Speaker
And something I've struggled with, because as you know, following like Russell Brunson, he's teaching go funnel hack people, go see what's working for other people and then just pretty much copy it.
00:28:32
Speaker
Just put your own twist on it and spin it.
00:28:34
Speaker
But then we got this other school of thought where it's like be different.
00:28:38
Speaker
So how much when you're launching like solar ads, turn around Facebook ads for solar or other types of things, how much do you think should be modeled after what's working for other companies and how much should be kind of your own thing?
00:28:51
Speaker
For you, it's like... Yeah, I would just go on Google.
00:28:53
Speaker
What I did, actually, is I went on Google, and I just typed in solar, and I looked at a bunch of companies, and I looked at their websites, and I looked for anything that...
00:29:02
Speaker
I could see that was good, like a good idea.
00:29:05
Speaker
Like I didn't come up with the idea of like a no cost solar program or coming up with something like all of my headlines that I have, I've just stolen those from other companies that don't know how to market, but they had a good idea.
00:29:18
Speaker
So they put it on their website.
00:29:19
Speaker
Their website sucks and they don't know how to advertise with it.
00:29:22
Speaker
So I would steal their headlines and test them and see if they worked.
00:29:26
Speaker
And the ones that work, I let them run.
00:29:27
Speaker
And the ones that don't, I kill them.
00:29:32
Speaker
Okay, that's the way to do it.
00:29:33
Speaker
So you're more just still in headlines and then everything else is kind of your own ideas.
00:29:38
Speaker
Is it just mostly the headlines that you look for from other companies and other ads?
00:29:43
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean, I'll come up with stuff on my own, you know, over time, obviously.
00:29:46
Speaker
I mean, I'll come up with something and I'll test it, but...
00:29:51
Speaker
when you're first starting, I think it's great to get an idea of what other people are saying.
00:29:55
Speaker
So you know what the noise is out there, right?
00:29:57
Speaker
And we all know the whole no money down, lower your bill 30%, this and that, like that's just common sense.
00:30:04
Speaker
We've all been trained that, but there are so people out there in other States that have different things.
00:30:09
Speaker
And so,
00:30:11
Speaker
Just kind of doing your research before you spend a lot of money on something is just, it's kind of smart.
00:30:18
Speaker
If something catches your eye and you're like, wow, that's something I've never heard before, that's probably a good idea to use to launch your net.
00:30:28
Speaker
And then, you know, obviously I'll come up with something myself.
00:30:32
Speaker
But when I first started, I didn't come up with something myself.
00:30:36
Speaker
I just, that's what I did is I went online, I found something that no one was, I'd never seen before.
00:30:40
Speaker
And I'm like, this should be great.
00:30:42
Speaker
And I did it and it ran awesome.
00:30:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:46
Speaker
And how much, uh, I know a lot of fear, some of the fears of reps we have that's do want to launch their own funnels, their own ads is it's just like, Oh, I need to spend, pay my own out of pocket money for this.
00:30:59
Speaker
And what if it doesn't work?
00:31:00
Speaker
What if I'm wasting my money?
00:31:02
Speaker
What if it does work?
00:31:05
Speaker
That's true.
00:31:05
Speaker
That's true.
00:31:06
Speaker
Right.
00:31:07
Speaker
And that's kind of the thing.
00:31:08
Speaker
What if, what if, what if, um, my biggest thing was my first funnel when I first launched it was the most lame thing that I've ever seen.
00:31:16
Speaker
And it still works.
00:31:18
Speaker
Um, but what it comes down to is it doesn't come down to your funnel.
00:31:21
Speaker
Your funnel can look like a piece of crap.
00:31:23
Speaker
I've had a funnel that I paid a thousand dollars to make that didn't even work because it looked too good.
00:31:28
Speaker
So I'm not like great of,
00:31:31
Speaker
You know, not knowing how to launch something or taking action and like, what if it doesn't work?
00:31:35
Speaker
I'm gonna waste money.
00:31:37
Speaker
Well, guess what?
00:31:37
Speaker
You know, if you don't change what you're already doing, you're not gonna have different results.
00:31:42
Speaker
So I just knew I wanted something different.
00:31:44
Speaker
My results weren't where I was at.
00:31:47
Speaker
So if you got to start and you don't have capital, I mean, you need to have at least two grand.
00:31:51
Speaker
And if you don't have two grand, well, go borrow it from somebody or go make it, you know?
00:31:56
Speaker
And then from there, now you have enough capital and just,
00:32:00
Speaker
I mean, it's better than going out and buying lottery tickets or going gambling.
00:32:04
Speaker
And, you know, that's a short-term thing.
00:32:05
Speaker
But if you take the implement and you test it and you find something that works, man, you're going to be super pumped on it.
00:32:11
Speaker
And I didn't even have – I think I only had about –
00:32:17
Speaker
$1,500 in my bank account.
00:32:18
Speaker
And so that's why I did my research first on just finding something that like a good copy and a good headline and making something different than what everybody else was saying and then testing it.
00:32:30
Speaker
And I did good, you know, so that's just kind of
00:32:36
Speaker
kind of my thought process on it is you can be on the fence and be scared but yeah if you don't have money like you obviously need to go close some deals first yeah true so when you say two grand would two grand be just for testing the ads or what what would you do if you start it over well you gotta pay for your funnel right so it's like 97 bucks yeah okay um
00:32:58
Speaker
Then with your ads, yeah, you're definitely gonna do that.
00:33:01
Speaker
You're gonna need a Zapier integration, which basically takes the leads from ClickFunnels, and then you're gonna put that to a Google Sheet.
00:33:11
Speaker
So it's automation, so that way you don't have to go inside ClickFunnels every day and
00:33:15
Speaker
look and see every few minutes, you know, did I get a new person and all this stuff.
00:33:21
Speaker
That can just go straight to your, on a Google sheet that you can just check on your phone, you know, if you're out knocking or whatever.
00:33:28
Speaker
And if you see one, then you're just gonna call them right away.
00:33:31
Speaker
And try and talk to them, qualify them, and set up an appointment.
00:33:36
Speaker
But I would just use the two plan for just ad spend, and I would probably run,
00:33:43
Speaker
$100 a day to start but I would run $25 on four different campaigns.
00:33:49
Speaker
So I would do four campaigns each one at 25 bucks inside those campaigns just have one ad set and then on your ads level maybe have like six ads so that way you're running you know 24 different ads for a hundred bucks and then give it a couple days and
00:34:07
Speaker
In five days, yeah, you spent $500, but you should get a couple leads off of that for sure.
00:34:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:13
Speaker
Well, Tyler's dropping some dimes here, so I hope everyone's taking notes because I'm going to want to write this stuff down.
00:34:19
Speaker
So good stuff to hear.
00:34:21
Speaker
And the other question I had is people struggle, I think, with how to actually handle these leads after they get them.
00:34:29
Speaker
I don't know if you've noticed that, but...
00:34:31
Speaker
I've worked with companies, people that have gotten a lead and then they don't call them until a week later.
00:34:36
Speaker
And as you know, if you do that, you're doomed.
00:34:39
Speaker
No hope for that lead.
00:34:42
Speaker
So when you practice for contacting your leads and you get a lead, what do you do with it right after?
00:34:47
Speaker
What's your process after that?
00:34:49
Speaker
So that's really like, I mean,
00:34:51
Speaker
It's almost where you need a team involved because you want to have somebody that's constantly watching the sheet because if the lead comes in after five minutes, it's pretty hard to get a hold of them.
00:35:01
Speaker
But if you call them within five minutes, our contact rate's usually 52%.
00:35:06
Speaker
which is really good.
00:35:08
Speaker
So either just keep, if you're by yourself in the beginning, because you're not gonna be able to hire somebody, I just watched it 24 seven, but yeah, it'd suck if I'm like in an appointment and I get like two or three leads and I didn't call them.
00:35:20
Speaker
Typically if I call them after the appointment or the next morning, you wanna call them.
00:35:25
Speaker
Also something you wanna do is double dial.
00:35:27
Speaker
So call them once, if they don't answer, call them again, because a lot of people what will happen is
00:35:33
Speaker
You call somebody two times back to back, and it's a number that I don't know when someone's calling me, but they call me twice.
00:35:39
Speaker
I usually pick up on the second ring, so I'm like, oh, this is probably important.
00:35:42
Speaker
Like, I don't know why they're calling me twice.
00:35:46
Speaker
Most solicitors call this once, and if they don't get an answer, then they just try calling again later on.
00:35:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:54
Speaker
So that's something, too, that I learned that's been super helpful.
00:35:58
Speaker
But, yeah, it's just the game of speed.
00:36:00
Speaker
So the second it comes in, you want to be able to call them as fast as possible.
00:36:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:04
Speaker
And what are your thoughts on using like local numbers?
00:36:08
Speaker
Cause I know in my case I'm from Utah.
00:36:10
Speaker
I have a Utah number.
00:36:13
Speaker
So I was calling them from that number, but do you suggest like getting, I don't know, Google voice or something.
00:36:18
Speaker
So it does show up as like a local number when you're calling these leads.
00:36:21
Speaker
Yeah, you can go to Google voice number.
00:36:23
Speaker
I've done that too.
00:36:24
Speaker
But honestly, if you call back to back and you just have a cell phone, it's even a random area code.
Improving Lead Contact and Qualification
00:36:31
Speaker
I mean, I'm getting leads in Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, California, and I'm pretty much the call center.
00:36:37
Speaker
I have them call on a cell phone first and they double dial.
00:36:42
Speaker
And I mean,
00:36:43
Speaker
With a cell phone, we're at a 52% contact rate with an area code of 951 in SoCal, and we're calling all over the place.
00:36:49
Speaker
So it's not that big of a deal.
00:36:52
Speaker
Obviously, local presence is good to have, but still, if someone sees it's a number and they don't know it, even if it's local presence, yeah, it helps, but the double dial is more important.
00:37:05
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:05
Speaker
Yeah, I would agree.
00:37:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:07
Speaker
And then as far as like your follow-up process, you said you contact maybe 52% with people you don't contact.
00:37:14
Speaker
What's your process with those leads?
00:37:16
Speaker
Are you following up with them?
00:37:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's on day one.
00:37:20
Speaker
So 52% on day one, right?
00:37:22
Speaker
So we call them minimum first time you double dial.
00:37:25
Speaker
And then after that,
00:37:27
Speaker
I try and call them three times in the first day and then at least 10 times within three days.
00:37:32
Speaker
And then after that, I throw them into a dialer, which is now, that's getting more complex.
00:37:37
Speaker
So that's not until you have a team, but if you, like you won't need to do that, but I would call them.
00:37:41
Speaker
I mean, if you spent 30 bucks on these guys, I'm going to call them until they tell me, you know, until they answer the dang phone.
00:37:47
Speaker
So if they call them a hundred times, they're going to get called a hundred times.
00:37:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:54
Speaker
And the easiest script, so I think a lot of people don't know when they call someone, like, what to say, right?
00:38:01
Speaker
And so let me tell you guys what I use as a script.
00:38:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:38:04
Speaker
And it works really well.
00:38:06
Speaker
It's super simple because these people hold calls.
00:38:08
Speaker
These are people that want you to call, and I think a lot of people are just afraid, and they don't know what to say, and they bomb them, right?
00:38:13
Speaker
And so that's something, too.
00:38:15
Speaker
But if you literally just said, like, if you were calling, like, let's just say...
00:38:22
Speaker
I was calling you, Taylor, and I was like, hey, this is Taylor?
00:38:26
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:27
Speaker
Hey, this is Taylor.
00:38:29
Speaker
I'm just following up about the solar program that you saw on Facebook.
00:38:32
Speaker
How's your day going?
00:38:33
Speaker
Good.
00:38:34
Speaker
Awesome.
00:38:35
Speaker
I saw that ad.
00:38:36
Speaker
Yeah, totally.
00:38:37
Speaker
So, hey, I'm just an appointment setter.
00:38:39
Speaker
It's just my job to see if you qualify.
00:38:41
Speaker
It takes about 60 seconds.
00:38:43
Speaker
This program is designed for homeowners.
00:38:45
Speaker
Do you happen to be the homeowner?
00:38:46
Speaker
Yes, yeah, this is my home.
00:38:48
Speaker
Okay, awesome.
00:38:49
Speaker
And do you know what the highest electric bill you've had since you've been living there was?
00:38:54
Speaker
I think it was about $250,000.
00:38:55
Speaker
Yeah, around something like that.
00:38:58
Speaker
And that's the highest one?
00:38:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:00
Speaker
Okay, and what about your lowest one?
00:39:02
Speaker
Lowest was probably like $90,000.
00:39:06
Speaker
Okay, right on.
00:39:07
Speaker
And then as far as your credit goes, do you know if your credit's above or below $650,000?
00:39:14
Speaker
I think it's above.
00:39:17
Speaker
Yeah, around 700.
00:39:19
Speaker
Okay, cool.
00:39:20
Speaker
And so, like, if you had told me it was below, you know, obviously, if we're in a pace area, then I would go with different qualifying questions.
00:39:26
Speaker
And then also, if they get all mad because they're like, why ask them about my credit, right?
00:39:30
Speaker
So if you're being a hardball, like a hardball, I would just let them know.
00:39:33
Speaker
It's just so we know which program, you know, we can offer you.
00:39:37
Speaker
And then if you're in an area where they have to have a credit above 650, then you can just let them know, you know, unfortunately this isn't going to work for you.
00:39:43
Speaker
So anyway, so I'll keep going with the pitch.
00:39:47
Speaker
Okay, great.
00:39:47
Speaker
So, you know, basically all we do from here is it takes us about 30 to 45 minutes to see if we can come over and, you know, have you save money going solar.
00:39:58
Speaker
Have you ever had like a solar quote though before?
00:40:02
Speaker
Yeah, I have before.
00:40:03
Speaker
This seemed like a little bit different, so I wanted to check it out, but I have before.
00:40:07
Speaker
Okay, no worries.
00:40:09
Speaker
So most people are gonna tell you no, right?
00:40:11
Speaker
So if they say yes, they're an easy one, you're like, okay, cool.
00:40:15
Speaker
When are you and your spouse usually available for 30 minutes, mornings or afternoons, right?
00:40:19
Speaker
And then I would just go into booking it from there.
00:40:21
Speaker
If they say no, which I was hoping you were going to say.
00:40:24
Speaker
So if you said, no, it's okay.
00:40:26
Speaker
You're just, you're being easy on me, which is awesome.
00:40:29
Speaker
But I also want to give you like, if you say no, right?
00:40:33
Speaker
I'll say totally perfect.
00:40:36
Speaker
So basically, you know, we come out for about 30 to 45 minutes and so you'll need to have an electric bill because with that electric bill, it'll allow us to see kind of how much electricity that you use.
00:40:50
Speaker
So do you get that in the mail or do you get it online?
00:40:53
Speaker
We get it online usually.
00:40:54
Speaker
Okay, perfect.
00:40:55
Speaker
So if you can print that out before, that would be great.
00:40:59
Speaker
If not, I'll just get it when I come over.
00:41:02
Speaker
And then essentially how this works is I'll come over, basically show you the numbers.
00:41:07
Speaker
There's no money out of pocket that you would be putting down.
00:41:09
Speaker
It's essentially just a bill swap.
00:41:10
Speaker
So instead of you paying your utility,
00:41:13
Speaker
everyone, if you just have a solo thing, that would be less money.
00:41:16
Speaker
And so if we can help you lower your money and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket and you like what you see, then we can
Overcoming Objections in Solar Sales
00:41:22
Speaker
move forward.
00:41:22
Speaker
But other than that, if that sounds good, when are you and your wife usually home for about 30 minutes, mornings or afternoons?
00:41:29
Speaker
We're pretty busy actually.
00:41:31
Speaker
You know what, we'll just call you when we have time.
00:41:33
Speaker
Hey, that's totally fine.
00:41:36
Speaker
And I understand, you know, that you want to give me a call.
00:41:42
Speaker
But was there, you know, in order for me to actually see if we could help you out, you know, you've passed all these questions that you have right now.
00:41:48
Speaker
It'll only take about 30 minutes to see if I could help you guys save a couple thousand dollars this year.
00:41:53
Speaker
So if that's, you know,
00:41:55
Speaker
You're not looking to save some money.
00:41:56
Speaker
That's okay.
00:41:56
Speaker
But I think we could help you out.
00:41:58
Speaker
There's no obligation or anything.
00:42:01
Speaker
I do have an opening tomorrow at 6.
00:42:02
Speaker
I could just swing by for about 15 minutes.
00:42:05
Speaker
I'll be super short and just leave it with you and see if there's something that we could do.
00:42:10
Speaker
So would it be worth it maybe just for 15 minutes tomorrow at 6 if I drop by to see if we could help you save a couple thousand dollars?
00:42:18
Speaker
Yeah, that would probably work.
00:42:20
Speaker
Can you call before you come, though?
00:42:22
Speaker
Yeah, totally.
00:42:23
Speaker
Yeah, cool.
00:42:25
Speaker
Awesome.
00:42:25
Speaker
So yeah, so most people won't give you that objection right then.
00:42:27
Speaker
They'll give you that objection later on, but that's cool that you gave me that objection.
00:42:31
Speaker
So if you do get an objection,
00:42:34
Speaker
disagree with them and then just let them know, Hey, I totally understand your concern.
00:42:38
Speaker
Um, but you know, if we could help you save a couple thousand dollars, you know, would it be worth it?
00:42:42
Speaker
And some people will tell you no still.
00:42:43
Speaker
And some people tell you yes, but honestly these people are pretty, you'll be shocked.
00:42:48
Speaker
These people will be actually very happy to talk to you and they're pretty easy to book, but it's important that you explain, um, that, you know, it's not going to cost them any money out of pocket and that you're just doing a bill swap and,
00:43:02
Speaker
All we're trying to do is just help you lower a bill you're already paying and then just kind of let them know that beforehand.
00:43:08
Speaker
And then when you get there, it just makes it a lot easier when you're presenting.
00:43:12
Speaker
Boom.
00:43:12
Speaker
Well, there you have it.
00:43:13
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's what a lot of people struggle with is not knowing what to say.
00:43:18
Speaker
Because in my funnel that I launched, yeah, just kind of a lot of people I called.
00:43:24
Speaker
I don't know if you've expected it, but some people I call, they're like, oh, just email me over the information.
00:43:29
Speaker
They like do not want to meet up.
00:43:31
Speaker
So if they like wanted just an email, what do you, how do you overcome that objections of people saying, Oh, just send me the info.
00:43:37
Speaker
Just send me the info.
00:43:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:39
Speaker
So that's when I just go back to just kind of saying I'm an appointment setter, you know, I don't really want them to know that I'm the sales rep too.
00:43:45
Speaker
Um, and I just, you know, it's just my job to see if you qualify.
00:43:50
Speaker
And I was like, I understand that you want an email.
00:43:52
Speaker
Um,
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah, but what specifically did you want to email on or was there something that you would want because I could come over tomorrow for about 15 minutes or whatever and give you all the documents.
00:44:04
Speaker
I don't have anything I can email you right now.
00:44:05
Speaker
So I don't really email anybody if they just want an email.
00:44:09
Speaker
I try and fight the objection and still set the appointment.
00:44:12
Speaker
And then if they just still are like, nah, I just want an email, I'm just like, well, screw off.
00:44:17
Speaker
Kind of like I'll just call this person.
00:44:20
Speaker
Cool.
00:44:22
Speaker
Well, cool, man.
00:44:22
Speaker
You have dropped some serious, serious knowledge on us and I'm definitely gonna have to take all the words from this and make the script out of it.
00:44:30
Speaker
Cause yeah, I think that's a money script you're using.
00:44:33
Speaker
Um, well, cool.
00:44:34
Speaker
I know we're running short on time here, Tyler, but, uh,
00:44:37
Speaker
If people want to find out more about what you're doing, I'm sure you've got courses, stuff like that.
Empowering Entrepreneurs with Free Courses
00:44:42
Speaker
How can people?
00:44:43
Speaker
Yeah, so actually, it's kind of cool.
00:44:45
Speaker
So in two weeks from now, I'm going to be launching a course.
00:44:47
Speaker
I'm going to give it away to about 200 people for free that are in the solar industry just to kind of help out and give back.
00:44:52
Speaker
If you guys want that, just go to tylerenglestone.com.
00:44:55
Speaker
So it's T-Y-L-E-R-E-G-G-L-E-S-T-O-N.com.
00:45:00
Speaker
So I'm redoing my site right now.
00:45:02
Speaker
The course is already done.
00:45:04
Speaker
I just got to get some new graphics and some stuff up.
00:45:06
Speaker
But yeah, so that'll be kind of a...
00:45:09
Speaker
Of course, I'll be selling for two grand, but I'm going to give it away for free for the next two.
00:45:13
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:45:15
Speaker
So that'll definitely be something that you guys will want to get your hands on for sure.
00:45:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:45:20
Speaker
But yeah, so just go to my website.
00:45:22
Speaker
It's just by firstandlastname.com.
00:45:24
Speaker
Awesome.
00:45:25
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:25
Speaker
You said 200 people only you're giving that course to?
00:45:28
Speaker
Yeah, just the first initial 200 and then I'm going to charge after that.
00:45:31
Speaker
So I just want to help out and get back.
00:45:33
Speaker
The thing is anytime I give something away for free, most people don't do anything with it.
00:45:37
Speaker
But once they invest, then they take it more serious.
00:45:40
Speaker
But for those that will take it serious and they literally are just starting and don't know what to do and they have no money, if they do take it serious, I mean, it can be...
00:45:51
Speaker
Awesome.
00:45:51
Speaker
Well, there you have it.
00:45:52
Speaker
Be one of those, do not miss out on the opportunity.
00:45:55
Speaker
Be one of those 200 people.
00:45:57
Speaker
And I'm definitely going to get my hands on that.
00:45:59
Speaker
So I'm going to go make sure I'm in that right away.
00:46:02
Speaker
And is that teaching people just Facebook ads or is it solar specific?
00:46:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:06
Speaker
So it'll be a whole course from, you know, if you're knocking doors all the way through what I'm doing specifically.
00:46:14
Speaker
And yeah, so it'll be from start to finish.
00:46:18
Speaker
Awesome.
00:46:18
Speaker
Awesome.
00:46:19
Speaker
Cool.
00:46:19
Speaker
Well, thanks for offering that to her audience, Tyler.
00:46:22
Speaker
And it's been great on board.
00:46:24
Speaker
Any final tips, final advice you want to give to people in their own lead generation or our solar preneurs here?
00:46:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:32
Speaker
I mean, the last thing I would just say is just, you know, don't be afraid to put something out there that sucks.
00:46:37
Speaker
Until you put it out there, you know, who knows if it really does suck or not.
00:46:42
Speaker
So like your first phone that you build, don't worry about it.
00:46:46
Speaker
I mean,
00:46:47
Speaker
Just use a template that's on there, change some words and start testing it and then start moving things around.
00:46:54
Speaker
Like if you're under a 10% opt-in rate, your funnel's wrong.
00:46:58
Speaker
If you have more people coming to your page and you're below that, yeah, it's a problem.
00:47:04
Speaker
If you're above that, you're doing something good.
00:47:07
Speaker
If you don't even have people going to your landing page and that's under 10%, then your ads are wrong.
00:47:13
Speaker
So that's pretty much the numbers.
00:47:16
Speaker
You know, there's gonna be one out of 10 people that land on your page should put in their info.
00:47:21
Speaker
Okay, and I definitely agree with that.
00:47:24
Speaker
I wasted years procrastinating because I didn't think I wanted stuff to be perfect.
00:47:29
Speaker
Got a lot of perfection here, so I definitely agree.
00:47:31
Speaker
Done is better than perfect.
00:47:33
Speaker
And guys, don't be afraid to invest in mentors like Tyler.
00:47:36
Speaker
People have already done these things.
00:47:39
Speaker
Go get his course, and that's how you're going to learn how to master it.
00:47:42
Speaker
So, Tyler, we want to thank you again for being on the show and definitely good help to our audience here.
00:47:47
Speaker
And we'll be in touch with everything, but appreciate it, man.
