How do I know this?ย Because weโ€™ve been doing it for over 10 years. And hereโ€™s exactly how the math worksโ€ฆ

โœ… Spend $5,000/month for 12 months and include consistent email nurturing. (Thatโ€™s $60,000 dollars for the yearโ€ฆdonโ€™t freak out โ€“ weโ€™ll get back to that)

โœ… Get 1,200 leadsโ€ฆplus ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ of impressions that will help build your brand.

โœ… Assume that each one has an average of $500,000 to investโ€ฆ Thatโ€™s $15 million dollars of annual new assets. Thatโ€™s $2,000/closed client.

โœ… Plus you still have over 1,000 leads of your own to market to!

At this point you might sayโ€ฆโ€Yeah, but itโ€™s still $60,000 dollars/yearโ€โ€ฆto that Iโ€™d say three things:
