Most lose the sale before the call.
👇

Win the gap between booking & Zoom:

• Form: ask “What failed?” + “What if nothing changes in 90 days?”
• TY page: short video, expectations, pre-handle objections.

Higher show-ups. Higher closes.

A steady paycheck made me comfortable. But when I left Microsoft, no one cared about my title or past. Without a paycheck or safety net, I had to face the real game:

The best product doesn’t win. The best marketer does.

That’s why I built my agency.

When a baby breaks down your sales system better than your team… it’s time to let AI take over

Our AI appointment system works nonstop:
📞 Responds in 5 mins
🤖 Books 30–50% more calls
📅 Follows up like your toddler at bedtime

AI’s closing leads, even when your team’s off.

thegreatrafael.bsky.social @thegreatrafael.bsky.social · 22d

You don’t want more leads.

You want better ones.

The ones who…

• Book the call
• Show up
• Buy on the spot

That’s what systems buy you:
Time, peace, and predictable profit.

Build for quality, not chaos.

Just uploaded a selfie and now I’m a movie star in Paris. The future of AI is wild—this looks way too real.

Upload a pic, add a prompt, and be anywhere from skydiving to walking the Met Gala on Mars.

Can't trust anything anymore, but I’m here for it.

DM ‘AI’ for the workflow!

But don’t try to fix them all at once.

Figure out which is the biggest constraint right now, and then work on that.

Repeat.

thegreatrafael.bsky.social @thegreatrafael.bsky.social · Aug 27

Every business has 5 potential bottlenecks:

1. Lead generation (not enough prospects)
2. Conversion (prospects don't buy)
3. Delivery (can't fulfill demand)
4. Retention (customers leave)
5. Team (wrong people/processes)

These 7 headline tweaks are free to use.

But they’re worth thousands if you actually apply them.

Because headlines aren’t just words...

They’re your first impression.

And 80% of your success hinges on that.

🧠 Headline Hack #7: Use new or unexpected angles

Don’t regurgitate what everyone’s saying.

Say it differently.

Add a twist.

Make it feel fresh.

🧠 Headline Hack #6: Add urgency

Words like:

• Today
• Now
• Only
• Last chance

Create FOMO that forces action.

thegreatrafael.bsky.social @thegreatrafael.bsky.social · Aug 20

🧠 Headline Hack #5: Use Facts + Stats

Stats build instant credibility.

Examples:
• “92% of businesses fail in year 1…”
• “I tested this on 100 clients…”

Facts = trust. Trust = clicks.

thegreatrafael.bsky.social @thegreatrafael.bsky.social · Aug 20

🧠 Headline Hack #4: Call out your exact audience

Generic = ignored.

Specific = magnetic.

Don’t say “struggling with weight?”
Say “busy moms who want to lose baby weight without starving.”

🧠 Headline Hack #3: Make it about them, not you

🧠 Headline Hack #2: Drop Power Words

Words like:

Most people blame the algorithm when their content flops.

But the truth?

It’s your headline that’s broken.

If the hook sucks, nobody clicks.
No clicks = no conversions.
No conversions = no $$.

Here’s how to fix that 👇
