Hello Fellow Ronins

Got a question for you:

How much time are you wasting trying to convince browsers to become buyers?

If you're like most marketers and founders, the answer is: way too much.

Here's a truth bomb that changed everything for me:

97% of people aren't ready to buy what you're selling right now.

Only 3% are actively looking.

And that's not a problem - that's your biggest opportunity.

Let me explain...But first, a special message from today’s sponsor.

Payroll errors cost more than you think

While many businesses are solving problems at lightspeed, their payroll systems seem to stay stuck in the past. Deel's free Payroll Toolkit shows you what's actually changing in payroll this year, which problems hit first, and how to fix them before they cost you. Because new compliance rules, AI automation, and multi-country remote teams are all colliding at once.

Check out the free Deel Payroll Toolkit today and get a step-by-step roadmap to modernize operations, reduce manual work, and build a payroll strategy that scales with confidence.

Ok, now back to the hot take.

The Wrong Game vs The Right Game

The Wrong Game: Spending all your energy trying to convince the 97% who aren't ready. Chasing everyone. Burning budget on unqualified leads. Getting frustrated when "nobody's buying."

The Right Game: Identifying the 3% who are already looking to buy and making it STUPID EASY for them to purchase from you.

This shift in thinking generated:

  • 30,000+ qualified leads in BioTech

  • 40X ROI in FinTech (FinTech)

  • $100M+ in trackable revenue over 20 years

The 4 Qualification Pillars

Before someone becomes a buyer, they need ALL FOUR of these:

1. BUDGET They have money allocated and approved. If they don't have budget RIGHT NOW, they're a browser.

2. AUTHORITY The right decision-makers are in the room. No more "I need to check with my boss" nonsense.

3. TIMING They're ready to move NOW. Not next quarter. Not "someday." NOW.

4. NEED They have an urgent pain point that demands solving. Nice-to-have doesn't cut it.

Miss even ONE of these? You're wasting time.

Digital Body Language That Screams "BUYER"

Here's what I track religiously in every CRM:

Pricing Page Visits: Multiple visits to your pricing page = HIGH buying intent. Browsers don't care about pricing. Buyers study it.

Time on Site: 5-10 minutes = engaged buyer 30 seconds = casual browser

Question Types: Browsers ask: "What do you do?" Buyers ask: "When can we start?" and "How does implementation work?"

Email Engagement: Opens + clicks consistently = warming up No engagement = not ready yet

The Friction Formula

Here's a harsh truth:

Every extra step you make someone take = 50% drop-off rate.

Long application? Lost half your buyers. 5 clicks to purchase? Lost 75% of buyers. Complicated pricing? Lost 90% of buyers.

Make it ONE CLICK.
Make it STUPID SIMPLE.
Remove ALL friction.

The Platform Context Game

Stop posting the same content everywhere. Each platform has different user intent:

X (Twitter) = Information and news platform
Instagram = Visual storytelling and entertainment
LinkedIn = High-ticket B2B relationships
TikTok = Entertainment first, education second

Understand WHY people are on each platform, then tailor your approach accordingly.

The New Selling Paradigm

The aggressive Jordan Belfort tactics are DEAD.

Why?

Because today's buyers have:
✓ AI to research you instantly
✓ Reviews everywhere
✓ Unlimited information access
✓ Zero tolerance for BS

What works now:

  1. Relationship-First Approaches Build trust before asking. I gave FREE value for 8 months before asking anyone to join The Revenue Ronin community.

  2. Massive Value Delivery When you deliver consistently, people WANT to support you. The ask feels like a gift, not a transaction.

  3. Soft Selling Subtle, nuanced, human. Meet people where they are. Understand their journey.

  4. Data-Driven Segmentation Track everything. Know who's a buyer vs who's a browser. Send different messages to each group.

The Segmentation Secret

In your CRM (or even a spreadsheet):

List 1: BUYERS → People who've purchased → VIP clients → High engagement, all 4 qualification pillars

List 2: EVERYONE ELSE → Browsers → Subscribers → Followers

Send different messages to each group.

Your buyers get exclusive access and special treatment. Your browsers get nurturing content until they're ready.

Never confuse the two.

The Closest-to-Cash Principle

You can be busy all day and still be broke.

Before you do ANYTHING in your business today, ask:

"Is this action moving me toward a SALE?"

Posting generic content? Maybe. Engaging with qualified prospects? YES. Following up with warm leads? ABSOLUTELY. Creating another course nobody asked for? NO.

Focus on closest-to-cash activities.

The 8-Month Strategy

Want to know my secret weapon?

I spent 8 months giving away FREE value - masterminds, frameworks, templates, coaching - before I ever asked anyone to invest in The Revenue Ronin community.

Why?

Because when you prove you can deliver results BEFORE someone pays you, the decision to buy becomes obvious.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Month 1-8: Free value, free value, free value
Month 9: "Hey, I'm building something special.
Want in?"
Result: People are EXCITED to join because they've already experienced transformation

Compare that to: Day 1: "Buy my course!"
Result: Crickets.

Your Action Plan for This Week

  1. Audit Your Pipeline Separate your buyers from your browsers. Do they have budget, authority, timing, and need?

  2. Track Digital Body Language Set up tracking for pricing page visits, time-on-site, and engagement metrics.

  3. Reduce Friction Count how many clicks it takes someone to buy from you. Can you reduce it to ONE?

  4. Platform Audit Are you posting the right content on the right platforms? Or are you copy-pasting everywhere?

  5. Give Value First What can you give away this week that demonstrates your expertise without asking for anything in return?
