If you needed to land a client this week, this is the exact business I'd go after.

There's an alarm company in Seattle, Washington right now sitting at 12 Google reviews next to competitors with a few hundred.

And I'm gonna show you exactly how I'd approach them, the free report I'd send, and the five sentences I'd use to turn what

that report finds into a simple $297 a month offer without ever getting on a sales call.

I've sent literally thousands of these five -minute reports over the years, but I've never broken down the whole thing like this section by section, what I'm looking for, what actually matters,

and exactly how I'd explain each problem to the business owner in plain English.

And that's important because the report itself isn't what gets you the client.

What gets you the client is being able to look at something like 12 reviews versus 300

and then explain in one sentence why that matters to the person who owns the business.

And the reason I know that these reports can do most of the heavy lifting is

that one of the very first ones that I ever sent, I sent completely on its own.

There was no offer, there was no booking link, no wanna jump on a call, none of that.

But still, two hours later, the business owner replied asking what I could do about what the report found and how I could help.

Now, over the past 10 plus years, I've built three seven -figure agencies, worked with more than 1 ,500 small businesses and run thousands of campaigns.

And today, I run my agency completely by myself with zero employees.

So I'm not gonna give you some theoretical sales script.

Instead, I'm gonna show you exactly how I'd take this real business, find the problems, explain them simply, make the offer, and try to close the entire thing in writing.

So you can go out there and do the exact same thing.

So here's the whole plan in three steps.

Step one, you find an ideal business, but instead of trying to sell them anything, all you're doing is asking permission to send them a free report.

And I'll show you exactly what I do here step -by -step.

Step two, you build the report and you walk them through it.

That's the part that I'm gonna spend the most time on today because it's where the five sentences come from.

It's the part that does all the selling for you.

And step three, you send them the report along with those five sentences and the price.

And you close the whole thing in writing.

There's no calls anywhere in this process.

So find, read, and send.

And let's start with step one, finding an ideal business.

And if you don't know what kind of business to go after, let me make that part easy for you.

Today, we're going after alarm system installers, also known as security systems.

Now, I appreciate nobody gets excited about hiring an alarm company, but nobody also lets a stranger start wiring up their house without checking the reviews first either.

So reviews matter here a lot, which makes this exactly the kind of business that I'd charge $297 a month in order to help.

So let's go find one.

I'm going to type in alarm system Seattle into Google.

Now I'm going to scroll past the ads at the top as these are the sponsored listings

and go straight to the Google maps section here

and then click on more places in order to open up a bigger list

and well here's what we got up top we got the

big players skipping the sponsored ad again the top organic place here is guardian security with 272 reviews below

that washington alarm with 109 so basically these guys are all doing fine

and probably don't need our help great western looks like they

could be a good prospect here as they only have 22 reviews

and then after that it's mostly a bit of a mix here

and quite honestly the search is turning up more prospects than you'll usually find anyway let's keep scrolling

because right here third from the bottom well we've got simple

security solutions with only 12 reviews now this might be a fantastic alarm company their customers might love them

but a homeowner that's comparing them to the guy up top

with hundreds of reviews is going to just scroll right past them

and the business owner probably has no idea this is happening i call these ghost town profiles

and here's what you're looking for.

One, the profile looks untouched.

So they've got old photos, a barely filled out description, missing details, that kind of thing.

Two, a low review count compared to the competitors sitting right beside them on the map.

And like I said, this one search returned a ton of them.

And three, and this one's the dead giveaway, nobody ever replies to the reviews.

Now you can find these by hand on Google Maps all day long.

It's free and it works.

But let me show you what I actually do instead because it's a lot faster and it builds the report for you, so you don't have to.

This is the prospecting tool inside the software I use to run my whole agency.

It's called High Level, and I'll tell you more about it in a minute.

But how it works is that I type in a search term, let's use security systems, which might give us a few more.

I'll use Seattle again, and then it pulls up the same businesses, except now there's a score beside them showing how likely they are to become a client.

This is called their conversion rate score.

How it works is that high level gives each business a conversion score based on how many problems it finds.

The higher the score, the more likely that business is to need what you're selling.

And here's our alarm company at 58%, which basically means high level sees a lot of room for improvement here.

Now, this is where most people get it wrong.

They see that score, they get excited, then they hit the add button right here beside it.

And now they've got a beautiful report for a business that hasn't even answered an email yet.

So here's what I want you to remember.

You only build the report after the business owner says, sure, send it over.

The report only takes a minute or two to generate, so there's no reason to go building reports for businesses that never reply.

So first, you send the owner one short message asking if it's all right to send it.

You send it by email if there's one on their Google listing, or you can send it through the contact form on their website.

If you can't find it, use the same words either way.

The subject line is just quick question all lowercase with the owner's first name in front

if you can find it

so this would be something like hey mike quick question now

here's the message you're going to send them word for word

and you might want to write this down

or screenshot this hi name i was looking at alarm companies in seattle on google

and came across your listing you've clearly got some happy customers on there

but i noticed you've got a lot fewer reviews than other alarm companies showing up around you

when someone's comparing two listings they usually go with the one that looks more established, even if the other one does better work.

I put together a short report showing a few simple changes that could help close that gap.

Would it be all right if I sent it over?

No charge, it's yours either way.

And the moment you reply, sure, send it over, well, you go back to the prospecting tool and you hit add.

It then goes and builds the whole report for you.

Their listing, their reviews, how visible they are online, all laid out in a clean report that you didn't have to make.

And you're going to be sending this to the owner in just a minute.

Now, real quick here, if you want to pull these exact same reports for businesses in your own city or any city for that matter, here's the fastest way to do it.

HighLevel, like I mentioned, is the software I use to run my entire one -person agency with zero employees, and everything you've seen so far, everything you're about to see, runs inside of it.

I've got a link in the description below this video where you can grab an extended 30 -day free trial of HighLevel, and when you start through my link, you're also going to unlock my complete agency OS,

which has over $15 ,000 in pre -built funnels

and follow -up automations and client outreach scripts and sales scripts

and a 30 -day high -level quick start all installed into your account with one click.

There's private community access as well and a whole lot more and links in the description below.

100

Okay, step two.

101

This is the part that I've never done on camera before and it's the part that actually makes you money.

102

We're going to walk through the report together because here's the deal.

103

The report is a page full of scores and percentages

104

and the owner of an alarm company doesn't care about any

105

of them they only care about one thing is any of this costing me customers

106

so my job reading this report is to turn every section into one plain easy to understand sentence

107

that answers that question

108

and by the time we get to the bottom of the report we'll have five of those sentences

109

and they're the five that you're going to be sending

110

so first thing on this page is the overall score

111

and this one came in at 57

112

and i want to be really really clear about this number

113

because this is a different number from the conversion rate score that you saw a minute ago, which was shockingly close at 58%,

114

but is in fact a completely different and unrelated number, which is extremely unhelpful for the purposes of me trying to explain this clearly.

115

So the point here is that the conversion rate told you how likely they are to become a client, and that number is for you.

116

The overall score that we're looking at here on the report tells you how optimized their business is online, and that number is for them.

117

So that's the number that goes at the very top of the message, but the overall score is really just a headline.

118

The five sentences come from the sections underneath it.

119

So let's go through those sections one at a time.

120

Now, the first two sections here are business details and techno stack.

121

Chat widgets, tracking pixels, that kind of thing.

122

And I'm going to tell you exactly what I do with these two.

123

I skip them.

124

Not because they're wrong, but

125

because the business owner usually doesn't know what a tracking pixel is

126

and that's fine

127

because no homeowner in the history of homeowners have ever hired an alarm company over a tracking pixel

128

and you're not selling them any of that anyway you're selling them reviews

129

so these sections stay in the report

130

but they stay out of these five sentences next section google business profile

131

and look at this one 100 address website photos hours phone all verified this profile's in good shape

132

so here's how i'd explain that to the business owner sentence one.

133

Your Google profile is actually in really good shape.

134

Photos, hours, everything's there, so there's nothing I would change there right now.

135

Now, I appreciate it.

136

That feels backwards.

137

I mean, why would you tell a potential client that something's fine?

138

Well, because it's that sentence that makes him trust the other four that you're going to tell him.

139

I mean, if every single line of a message is a problem, you're a salesperson.

140

If one of them, though, is this part looks good and let's leave it alone, well, now you're the guy who actually looked at his stuff

141

and is willing to tell him the truth okay listings 57 this is whether his name

142

and phone number match across a bunch of different sites again skip it same reason as before

143

but you can get into this later

144

if you ever wanted to go deeper on local seo now here's one

145

that i actually do use and it's near the bottom

146

so we're going to skip ahead to

147

that temporarily this is the local seo heat map

148

which shows where the business ranks in different parts of the area And look at this.

149

100%.

150

He's already ranking number one for security systems in his own neighborhood, but this still tells you something important, which is that his problem isn't being found,

151

his problem is being chosen.

152

And this table right here, this one shows you why.

153

He's number one on the map with 12 reviews, but sitting right underneath him, Guardian Security with 272, Washington Alarm with 109,

154

Connect and Protect down a bit lower at 117.

155

Takeaway point here is that people choose businesses with more reviews.

156

Period.

157

Full stop.

158

All right.

159

Sentence number two.

160

You're actually ranking number one on the map for your area.

161

So people are finding you, but they're just not choosing you.

162

Now that, my friend, is a sentence that most business owners have never heard before.

163

And it lands hard because it separates the two things that they've always assumed were the same problem.

164

Getting found and getting picked.

165

All right.

166

Then the big one.

167

Online reputation, 55 % here.

168

Now, the report shows 14 total reviews because it's combining Google and Facebook, but we're talking about how he looks in Google Maps,

169

so the number we care about here is the 12 Google reviews.

170

12 Google reviews, 4 .7 stars, sure, but 12 reviews next to 272, that's not a good thing for this business.

171

So that's basically the entire selling point right here.

172

And I didn't have to write a word of it.

173

So sentence three, you've got 12 Google reviews and the companies right underneath you have 100, 200, almost 300.

174

So you look like the risky choice even if your work is better.

175

Now, that last part matters.

176

The whole even if your work is better part because you're not telling him that he's bad at his job, which would be a terrible move.

177

You're telling him that he looks like the risky choice and those are very different things.

178

One of them he's going to agree with.

179

Then we come to the website section and this one came in at zero, which as scores go, leaves some room for improvement it.

180

Now, the report says that the site isn't reachable, there's a broken link or expired domain or something like that, but either way, apparently the website had decided not to participate in today's audit.

181

Now, this isn't something that you're selling him today, but you're going to tell him anyway, because again, you're the guy who actually looked.

182

So sentence four goes like this.

183

Your website wasn't loading when I checked, so I'd try it in an incognito browser first, and if it still doesn't load, give whoever built it a quick call.

184

And then sentence 5 which ties everything together.

185

Basically it takes the problems that you just showed him

186

and it turns them into a service that you're about to charge him for.

187

So here's how that goes.

188

And the fix for the reviews is pretty simple and I'd handle all of it.

189

Keeping the profile current, replying to new reviews, and putting a system in place that asks every new customer for a review

190

so the next person comparing you to the guy with 272 doesn't have a reason to scroll past.

191

Okay let's put all five together

192

so you can just copy them straight into your own message once you've got your own report.

193

And just like before, you might want to write this down or screenshot this.

194

So here's the short version of what the report found.

195

Your Google profile is actually in really good shape.

196

Photos, hours, everything's there.

197

So there's nothing I would change there right now.

198

You're actually ranking number one on the map for your area.

199

So people are finding you, but they're just not choosing you.

200

You've got 12 Google reviews and the companies right underneath you have 100, 200, almost 300.

201

So you look like the risky choice, even if your work is better.

202

Your website wasn't loading when I checked, so I'd try it in an incognito browser first, and if it still doesn't load, give whoever built it a quick call.

203

And the fix for the reviews is pretty simple, and I'd handle all of it.

204

Keeping the profile current, replying to new reviews, and putting a system in place that asks every new customer for a review,

205

so the next person comparing you to the guy with 272 doesn't have a reason to scroll past.

206

Okay, now read that back, and I want you to notice what is not in there, because there's no jargon, there's no fancy pants words the business owner has to look up it's just five sentences

207

and every one of them is about something that he can open google

208

and check out for himself right now and

209

that part's important for both of you for him

210

because he doesn't have to trust you he can open google

211

right now check every one of those things for himself

212

and see that you're telling the truth and it's important for you

213

because you don't have to be an expert here with 10

214

years of experience in order to do this you're not trying

215

to convince him of anything you're just pointing out what's already there

216

and showing him something that he'd probably want to know

217

and that's the whole reason this works without a sales call by the time he replies to

218

that message you've already explained the problem

219

and the fix in writing in plain english

220

and you didn't have to make any of it up on the spot

221

which means the part

222

that most people are scared of the sales call never has to happen okay step three sending it

223

and this is the easy part because all of the hard work

224

and thinking's already been done by the software of course all

225

you got to do is you hit export up here

226

and it gives you the report as a pdf that's the attachment

227

and then you reply to the same email thread

228

that he already answered so it lands right under his sure send it over

229

and here's message number two it's the five sentences you just

230

wrote down with three things wrapped around them the score at the top the monthly line

231

and the price underneath and one line telling him what to do next so basically

232

here's the report your listing scored 57 then the five sentences

233

we walked through word for word then this part here

234

that says then i keep it current each month responding to new reviews

235

and making sure the profile stays up to date it's 297 a month flat no contract

236

and you can cancel at any time take a look through the report and

237

if you'd like me to take care of it just reply

238

here now an important note here it's the keep it current each month part

239

that makes this a monthly service instead of a one -time job.

240

$2 .97 a month flat means there's no tiers and no setup fee, no weighing out a bunch of different options,

241

and just reply here means the whole sale happens in the same email thread the report came in.

242

So there's no calendar, no back and forth, no sales calls, none of that.

243

Now, some of the businesses that you reach out to are going to say yes right there on the spot, but some of them are going to say something like, let me think about it.

244

So when that happens, here's exactly what you send back.

245

Of course, while you're thinking it over, want me to send a review request to your last 10 customers?

246

It takes me about 20 minutes and there's no charge for it.

247

If a couple come in, you'll see it working before you decide anything.

248

Now watch what that actually does.

249

To let you send those, he's got to give you 10 of his customers' names

250

and numbers and nobody hands a stranger their customer list unless they're already at least halfway sold.

251

And then the reviews start showing up on his profile where he can see them.

252

So the second that happens, he's not really thinking about it anymore.

253

He's watching it work live right in front of him

254

and the $2 .97 per month is basically just paperwork at that point.

255

And even if he does end up saying no, well, you've just got a real business, a few real reviews.

256

You've now got a before and after, and that's the first thing that you can show the next guy you email.

257

Now, if he doesn't reply at all, you check back once or twice over the next week, then you move on.

258

The prospecting tool already handed you a list of other businesses.

259

I mean, this isn't the only alarm company in Seattle after all.

260

And when he says yes, I'm in, let's do it.

261

Well, here's message number three.

262

Perfect.

263

I'll send over a payment link and the two -minute instructions to add me as a manager on your Google profile.

264

Once that's done, I'll start the fixes and send you the before and after.

265

Okay, so he said yes, he paid.

266

Congratulations, you've now got a client.

267

So now the question becomes, how do you actually deliver this service and get him results?

268

Well, good news because this service is pretty small, simple, almost completely automated.

269

So here's what it looks like.

270

The profile fix is a one -time thing.

271

Now, the example we used here today didn't really need it, but

272

if it did all you need to do is log in

273

as a manager add photos write the description fill in what's missing

274

and reply to every old review from the past 6 to 12 months

275

or so it's about an hour

276

or two of work done one time the review part though is what i call the review engine

277

and it runs inside high level so let me show you what

278

that looks like every time a job gets marked complete it sends the customer a check -in text

279

or email a couple hours later a review request with the google link and if they haven't clicked the link, one gentle reminder a few days later.

280

After that, it stops.

281

Nobody gets bothered twice.

282

And to stay compliant with Google's terms of service, we send the same message with the same Google review link to every single customer.

283

You never send it only to the ones that you think are happy

284

because that's called review gating and it goes against Google's terms of service, so we just don't do it.

285

After that, the monthly work is replying to new reviews and keeping the profile current.

286

Most months, probably going to take you around 15 to 20 minutes.

287

I usually just say 30 minutes though because I'd rather overestimate the time than make it sound easier than it is.

288

Now the nice thing here is that the numbers are pretty simple.

289

Everything I've shown you runs inside HighLevel

290

and the plan I'd recommend is the $2 .97 a month unlimited plan which gives you unlimited client accounts.

291

That means your very first client covers your entire software cost and every client after that is nearly pure profit.

292

Texts, calls, and AI usage add small costs as you grow so you build those into your price.

293

And you don't have to build any of this.

294

It's already sitting in my agency os you can just copy

295

it into each new client account with one click change a few details for their business

296

and it's running and quick tip for

297

when you're signing up for your free trial

298

and this is just me looking out for you you're going to see a few different plan options

299

and i just go with a 297 unlimited plan this is

300

the one that's going to give you unlimited client accounts

301

which is everything you need to run what i've been showing

302

you today you really don't need the 497 plan the 297 plan is more than enough

303

and i'd hate to see you paying for something that you're just not going to use.

304

And just so it's clear, you get full access to my agency OS and all of the bonuses, no matter which plan you pick.

305

So there's no wrong answer here.

306

Plus it's a free trial anyway, and you can always upgrade or downgrade later.

307

So don't overthink this one.

308

Now I've got two quick warnings that I need to share with you before you send anything.

309

Warning number one, only promise results you can control.

310

You control completing the profile and installing the review engine and replying to reviews and reporting the numbers.

311

Google, on the other hand, controls the rankings and customers control whether or not they leave a review.

312

So promise the work, never the rankings.

313

And warning number two, and this one's the biggest, don't think you need a whole bunch of clients before this counts as a real business.

314

You don't need 10 clients on day one.

315

You don't even need two.

316

All you need is one local business willing to let you try this, even if it's your dentist or your barber or a shop you already walk into every week.

317

Then fix their listing.

318

turn on the review engine and screenshot how their profile looked before versus a month after.

319

That one before and after becomes the proof that you show to the next business and the next one after that.

320

So here's exactly what I do right now.

321

Grab the extended 30 -day free trial through the link in the descriptions below.

322

Find one business in your city and send the message.

323

And when he says, sure, send over the report, pull the report and read it the way that we just went through.

324

That's the whole job for today.

325

But here's the thing.

326

Everything I showed you today is just one piece of how a one -person agency actually works.

327

If you want the full picture, how to pick your niche, how to price your services, and how to put every system together, I've put together a complete free masterclass

328

that I've got linked up right here that's gonna walk you through the entire thing step -by -step.

329

So make sure to tap or click that now.

330

I'll see you in there in just a second.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
