CEO, Axe Automation — Helping companies scale by automating and systematizing their operations with custom Automations, Scripts and AI Models

If you want to build a business that can work without you, you are in the right place. 

Keep reading:

If...

- You feel stuck.
- Your agency is at full capacity
- You want to grow the business, but you don't know how.
- You work with high-ticket clients so it’s all pretty manual.
- Your staff makes mistakes and misses deadlines all the time.
- You do great work, but your client relationship deteriorates over time.
- You feel like the whole business is completely reliant on you to do everything.

I can help you.

I was like you a few years ago.

It's stressful.

Good news is, I got through the tough days before and ended up exiting the business for a $7m payout in 2021.

But before I tell you how automation can fix all your problems,

Here's who I am and why you should care

Ed here. I sold my business for $7 million in 2021.

After that, I decided to start an automation agency to help other businesses scale, as I did.

The same thing I did to scale and exit my business before will work for you now: AUTOMATION!

Here are 3 reasons why it can help you:

1) Automation can do things in 1-minute that would take a human hours.

Think about all those backend tasks your staff struggles with. They should all be automated.

Once you pull the trigger, the automation is working 24/7 and does the job perfectly every time.

2) You can have a fully automated system live in less than 2 weeks.

Just map out tasks and start building. You’ll see the benefits instantly. 

To do things manually, you have to spend hours per day getting updates from staff. Such a waste of time. 

What if you had a dashboard on your phone that gave you full visibility across all projects, without having to check in on staff?

3) Automation is the best investment you can make.

Suppose you can handle 30 clients a year.

Your client LTV is $20,000.

If you have ZERO systems in place right now...

An investment in some simple automations would increase your capacity by 10-30% in the next 2 weeks. 

You'll take on an extra $60,000 to $180,000 worth of clients as a result.

Sounds great, right? 

So, I will be your Chief Automation Officer! 

I will:

- Create a business capability map that outlines everything you do every day.
- Tell you which processes should be automated, and which ones shouldn't to make sure you can spend as much time as possible with clients.
- Build the automated system for you in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
- Monitor the system 24/7 and fix bugs without you having to ask.

5 worst discovery questions:

5 difficult scenarios for salespeople:
(Even for the top ones.)

5 difficult scenarios for salespeople:

Stop trying to fake urgency in B2B. 
(it doesn't work)

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁:

→ Knowing pain
→ Understanding the impact of pain

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝟮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1️⃣ Not every problem is worth solving

Trying to create an urgency won't work if they don't have something that is worth solving.

Nobody will buy a strong painkiller for a mild headache, even if it’s the last day of a 20% discount.

If the impact of the pain is close to zero, no urgency will stick.

2️⃣ A problem can have different solutions

Even if the pain is real, buyers still have options.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻:

•⁠ ⁠Build in-house
•⁠ ⁠Pick a cheaper workaround
•⁠ ⁠Wait until the budget frees up

Both a raincoat and an umbrella protect you from rain.

If you don’t show why your path is better, faster, or safer;

Urgency dies.

𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥

𝗧𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆:

-⁠ ⁠Find the pain that matters most
- ⁠Show the true cost of doing nothing
- ⁠Prove why solving it now beats later
- ⁠Position your solution as the safest path

Deals move when urgency is real. 

Not when it’s forced.

How do you create urgency without sounding pushy?

5 Unexpected Things in Sales
(hope they happen to you today)

5 Unexpected things in sales:

Contact data is out of control.
(for real)

Don't get me wrong.

I don't mind people pitching me.

I do it every day, too.

BUT

Every single week, some people:

- Add me to lists I never joined.
- Drop me into random waitlists.
- Email me again after I unsubscribe.
- Promise what no one can deliver.
- Sends emails written with poor prompts.
- Message me on WhatsApp out of nowhere.

I block them. They switch mailboxes.
I say, “I’m not a fit,” they keep texting.
I say it on the phone, they keep selling.

“I want to tell you about a promo…”
 “There’s a new offer…”

I don't want to click on report Spam.
I don't want to be rude.
I get it, we all try to make a living.

But this is not outreach.
This is not marketing.

This is SPAM.

Are some people ruining the industry?

Bad contact data can kill your business.
(real examples)

Your data provider is the most important part of your tech stack.
It is non-negotiable.

If your data is bad, you lose.
Simple as that.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝟭:
Picked the best provider, tested ICP coverage.
Checked accuracy and verified test emails.
Only had HubSpot + the data provider (not ideal).

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:
Hit targets.
Scaled the team.
Added new tools later.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝟮:
Paid for expensive tool stacks for sequencing, etc.
Then, they selected the most cost effective data provider.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:
High bounce rates.
Burned mailboxes.
Low call connect rates.
The team missed targets.
The company started downsizing the sales team.

𝗠𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀:
1.  Build a sample list. Verify it.
2. Check coverage across your ICP + regions.
3. Choose tools that use waterfall enrichment.

If your data provider is wrong, nothing you do will work.
You cannot afford bad data.

How do you choose your contact data provider?
