Dude, he is making money, he won't give you "training".
If you want to cut him, you better be ready to pay thousands to the guy. That's just how business works.
You either didn't read my entire post OR you missed the intent of what I was saying entirely. I am not at all bashing the guy for not giving/selling info to me.
Furthermore, I didn't ask him to "
give me his training". I'm not a moron. I offered to pay him 5 FIGURES to teach me his method and he refused.
His choice, and I respect it. He's a good dude and he's earned what he's got goin on.
I simply laid out what my problem is and asked the
OP for his advice, since this is an AMA about google ads. The back story was for context.
Please excuse my sincerity, but it's a little greedy in my opinion, because you don't know how much he spent to have those results and how much effort puts into optimizing them.
Anyway is your call. If I were you, I would study the way he does and I would do something not totally, but very different than he does to add customers, not to steal the ones he brings in.
After all, you want to grow the business, not cut costs I guess.
It's greedy to offer someone money for info? No, it's not. He had the right to turn me down and he did so I don't see where the greed comes into this.
My aim is efficiency. His leads come to me 24 hours late, so my GHL automations are pretty much worthless at that point because they are COLD when I get them. And he don't want to integrate my automations into his ad campaigns because it's too much work for him.
Which I totally understand.
"If I were you, I would study the way he does"
I can't study what he does. That's my problem. SEMRush and other tools require that I know where his domain / landing page domain is before I can analyze his ads, and he's not about to give that info away. Tools don't show local ads they only show big nationwide brands that I am not trying to compete with.
"do something not totally, but very different than he does to add customers, not to steal the ones he brings in"
Where in the world are you getting that I want to steal his customers?
I AM his customer! I'm trying to do what I pay him to do so I don't have to pay him for not-very-good service anymore. This should make sense if you go back and read my original message.
None of this seems to matter though because it looks like the OP has abandoned this thread anyway. He's not said anything since May
