    DRAGGING THROUGH THE SALES FUNNEL

    by Luke Weinhagen

    Our current parasite supporting system turns this agency sales funnel into a tractor pull. Every step of the way you have to carry more a burden. You have to recognize the costs being imposed upon you by the parasites are there because you are allowing them to be. Right now the funnel is not for weak engines not the faint of heart. “Fuck it, let’s just impose it” becomes a relief.

    If we can get to where we can start to suppress the parasites, this funnel opens up to more and more people. We get to that wider audience.

    THE ARISTOCRATIC (RESPONSIBILITY) SALES FUNNEL

    All of the people who start out edgy, tend to move back up the sales funnel (wider audience) because they perceive they are doing more good with wider reach, by driving more people into the sales funnel.

    Everyone has to move thu the ‘sales funnel’ from well meaning fool to man of agency.

    I did it and it sure seems like most other men do.

    You cannot know in advance what human capital investments will hatch leaders. The method I use to build organizations is the same: make a lot of bets, and make few judgments, other than to support evidence successes no matter how small and abandon failures that cannot be saved.

    THE MARKET WILL SUPPLY THE ANSWER IF YOU CREATE IT. MARKETS NOT PLANS. GOALS NOT TASKS.

    Excuse me for reveling in it a bit, but you know, it seems like Bill’s group has percolated a set of arguments in form of traditional wisdom on top of the analytic content, and that this is the ‘market’ providing leadership by consequence rather than design. It is not what I would have intended, but it is what the majority of men need.

    I had hoped to work with those few young men that fell prey to the easy temptations of authoritarianism, to create a cadre of very analytic judges like myself – because it is the intellectuals I want to fight on intellectual terms in the open field of public debate. And I suspect I must learn something from that failure. That ‘the dark side’ of simplicity is too tempting for the impatience of young men, too inexperienced at the conflict of men of achievement, to have the patience to conduct intellectual warfare rather than the duels of the young men seeking quick status rather than accumulated capital.

    That failure aside, It seems the scientist and engineer in me has produced what I desired. But that the talent of these men has produced what the market needs.

    The market will produce leaders. They merely need the weapons with which to conduct the current war, rather than the last.

    The leaders of the revolution will come from those that do not seek quick personal accolades, in internet duels, but COMBINED ARMS in producing that spectrum of ideas necessary for the spectrum of packs of men to understand, execute, and bring in to fruition.

    When I want to “kill”a company (cause it to collapse) I try to recruit people with grudge, or at least make relationships with people in the company who have a grudge. Every company does something or other totally innocently that is illegal. Then I construct a narrative of intent, and spread it. Then I get insiders to conduct a lawsuit. I have done this a half dozen times. Why? People are selfish and proud and easily provoked to revenge, even at high cost.

    When I want to buy an overpriced company I open locations or offices or sales teams at its fringes. Most companies cannot tolerate a 20% decline in sales. If you can cause a 20% decline in sales you can cause an 80% decline in purchase price. Mostly because talented people will flee to you. This is why you want free capital, and not to create too much debt or take too much profit. Most companies extract rents and profits and debt to the point where you can’t use capital to extract high ratio wins through acquisitions of people, operations, and customers at windfall discounts. The number of long established companies I have bought this way would astound you.

    So, when I want to buy a company, I raid it’s second tier staff first. Then have the purchasing, marketing, and sales people spread rumors of trouble. Gossip spreads like mad. There are always people that are looking for the next step up. Give it to them. Use the intel. Raid. Establish Relations. Buy the Company. You would think it wouldn’t work, but it depends on how you handle it. The principle problem organizations face is that very few people in any organization provide the talent that maintains competitive positioning. Talented people want to work for smart people who they can learn from, and achieve more by working for or with. If you catch those people, then the people who worked for and with them follow. Then the customers follow, then the company can be acquired at a discount. I have done this so many times that I can’t remember. I have built my companies largely through organic growth not acquisition, but I have built the staff largely through key recruiting and acquisition – because talent follows talent.

  • Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    In working through a strategy, which I usually do while just walking around, driving, listening to others, or writing, I do not shy from unethical and immoral options any more than I do moral or costly options. Once you find a solution the problem lies only in finding a solution that is not UNETHICAL or IMMORAL. This is the problem with moralizm. You limit yoru scope of conception. Or, you are too weak of character to eliminate the unethical and immoral choices until you find an amoral or moral means of achieving the same end.
