What if I told you that 73% of your SMMA leads are complete time-wasters who will never buy?

This isn't about getting more leads - it's about getting the RIGHT leads. 🎯 What You'll Learn: • The 5-question framework that identifies serious buyers in under 3 minutes • Why businesses under $1M revenue waste 84% more of your time (and how to spot them instantly) • The "revenue threshold test" that weeds out companies who can't afford your services • How structured qualification boosts close rates by 67% (with the exact scripts Jake uses) 👤 Perfect for: SMMA owners tired of chasing prospects who ghost after the proposal, or anyone who wants to close deals faster by talking to fewer people. 📍 Chapters: [00:00] Jake Rivera reveals why most SMMA leads never convert [01:45] The 27% rule: separating real prospects from browsers [04:20] Five qualification questions that predict buying behavior [07:15] Revenue thresholds: why company size determines close rates [09:30] Scripts and objection handling for qualifying calls [11:00] Red flags that scream "this lead won't close" The truth?
