# $100M Leads

> "How to get strangers to want to buy your stuff" - Alex Hormozi

## The Core Four Framework

All advertising falls into 4 categories on two axes:

| | Warm Audience (knows you) | Cold Audience (strangers) |
|---|---|---|
| **1-to-1** | Warm Outreach | Cold Outreach |
| **1-to-Many** | Post Free Content | Run Paid Ads |

**Rule:** Master ONE before adding another. Don't spread thin across all four.

## Decision Tree

```
Do you have 10 paying customers?
├─ NO → Warm outreach until you do
└─ YES → Pick based on resources:
         ├─ Have time, no money → Cold outreach or Content
         ├─ Have money, no time → Paid ads
         └─ Have both → Cold outreach + Content
```

```
Already running channels?
├─ Spreading across 4 → Cut to 1, master it
├─ One channel profitable → More Better New
├─ Hit personal capacity → Hire someone to run it
└─ Multiple channels profitable → Add lead getters (referrals/affiliates)
```

## Lead Definitions

| Term | Definition |
|------|------------|
| **Lead** | A person you can contact |
| **Engaged Lead** | A person who has shown interest |
| **Qualified Lead** | A person who can afford and is likely to buy |

Quality > volume. An engaged lead is worth many cold names.

## Lead Magnets

A lead magnet is a complete solution to a narrow problem. Free or low-cost. Reveals a bigger problem your core offer solves.

### 7 Steps to Create

1. **Pick the problem** - Narrow, meaningful, leads to your core offer
2. **Figure out the solution** - One of three types below
3. **Choose delivery method** - PDF, video, tool, trial
4. **Test the name** - Name matters more than content
5. **Make it easy to consume** - Under 10 minutes ideally
6. **Make it darn good** - Good enough to charge for
7. **Make it easy to ask for more** - Clear next step to your offer

### 3 Types of Lead Magnets

| Type | How It Works | Example |
|------|--------------|---------|
| **Reveal Problems** | Diagnosis showing problem they didn't know they had | Website speed test, posture analysis |
| **Samples/Trials** | Limited access to your core offer | Free month, 3 free uses, demo |
| **One Step of Multi-Step** | Solve step 1 of a 5-step process | Free template, calculator, checklist |

The lead magnet solves one problem, which reveals the NEXT problem your core offer solves.

## The Core Four Channels (Summary)

Detailed playbooks in **[frameworks.md](frameworks.md)**.

### 1. Warm Outreach (Free, 1-to-1)
Start here. Phone contacts, email, social media followers = your warm list. Personalize. Use ACA framework (Acknowledge, Compliment, Ask). Ask for referrals.

### 2. Post Free Content (Free, 1-to-Many)
Build an audience. Hook-Retain-Reward. Give-Give-Give-Ask pattern. Don't pitch until they reach out.

### 3. Cold Outreach (Free/Cheap, 1-to-1)
Reach strangers. Personalization + Big Fast Value. Volume + multi-channel follow-up. List of 1000+ to start.

### 4. Run Paid Ads (Paid, 1-to-Many)
Trade money for attention at scale. Three phases: Track Money → Lose Money → Print Money. Use lookalike + factor targeting. Detailed math in **[paid-ads.md](paid-ads.md)**.

## The Money Math: LTGP:CAC

**LTGP** = Lifetime Gross Profit (total customer revenue minus delivery cost)
**CAC** = Cost to Acquire Customer

| Ratio | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| <3:1 | Struggling to scale |
| 3:1 | Minimum viable |
| >3:1 | Ready to scale |

**Note:** Hormozi uses LTGP (Lifetime Gross Profit) specifically, not LTV. The distinction matters - LTGP excludes delivery cost.

If CAC is above 3x industry average, fix ads. If below, fix the business model (increase LTGP).

### Client Financed Acquisition

Break even on acquisition cost in ~30 days = unlimited scaling. If a customer pays you back in 30 days, you can fund acquisition with a credit card and reinvest infinitely.

How: upsells, order bumps, higher upfront pricing - anything to collect more cash faster.

## Rule of 100

Every day, do ONE of:
- 100 cold outreach attempts (calls, emails, DMs)
- 100 minutes creating content
- 100 minutes of paid ad work
- $100 spent on ads

Minimum viable daily advertising. Do this for 100 days before concluding "it doesn't work."

### Open to Goal (Advanced)
Work until you hit a specific OUTCOME, not a number of inputs.

| Stage | Use |
|-------|-----|
| Starting | Rule of 100 (effort-based) |
| Scaling | Open to Goal (outcome-based) |

## More Better New (Scaling)

Framework for scaling what works:

1. **MORE** - Do 10x what you're currently doing. What's stopping you?
2. **BETTER** - Find the constraint, fix it, do more again
3. **NEW** - Only after exhausting more+better:
   - New placements on same platform
   - Same placements on new platform
   - New placements on new platform
   - Add another Core Four activity

"More" and "better" work together. Do more until it breaks, then make it better, then do more again.

## Lead Getters (Others Get Leads For You)

Once YOU can get leads, get others to do it.

### 4 Types

| Type | Who | How |
|------|-----|-----|
| **Customers** | Existing buyers | Referral program |
| **Employees** | Your team | Train + incentivize |
| **Agencies** | Marketing firms | Pay for r
