I made a new lead magnet, which, based on its early performance, is the best lead generator I’ve ever created.

How did I do it?

Well, I did the exact opposite of what most financial advisors do when building their own lead magnets.

For example, I talk about Christianity in it (usually a big no-no in the financial advice industry). I purposely made it exclusive instead of inclusive. And I even charge for it instead of giving it away for free.

In today’s show, I reveal why I made these “against the grain” decisions, how it resulted in the best lead generator I’ve ever created, and how you can duplicate this strategy in your business.

Listen now.
