The Lead Machine Saga: A Tale of Ego, Webinars, and Missing Credit
Alright, buckle up. This one’s a good one. You know, there’s something oddly hilarious about watching a situation play out that feels like a scene straight out of a bad comedy.
Picture this: someone comes to me, wide-eyed, asking, “How do you get so many leads all the time?”
They’re practically begging for the golden ticket to the lead generation lottery to grow their struggling agency and, like any good business-minded person, I’m more than happy to share my secret sauce.
Fast forward two years, and, well… let’s just say the tables have turned. Cue the plot twist: this same person is now holding a webinar, claiming to be the genius who invented this whole lead-generation thing.
Not only that, but they’re teaching the exact method I taught them, as if it’s their own brainchild.
I’m sitting here, popcorn in hand, watching this unfold. The best part? I know for a fact that they’re not even getting the results they say they are. Oh, the sweet irony.
Now, I’m not the kind of guy who needs constant validation, but let’s be real—there’s a certain satisfaction in knowing you taught someone something they struggled with.
So when this person, let’s call them “Mr. Webinar,” decides to take all the credit without even a passing mention of where they learned everything, it’s hard not to roll my eyes. It’s like they’re on stage performing in front of a crowd, doing an impersonation of me, but without the actual “me” to back them up. Classic.
Here’s the kicker: I know these folks. I know that behind all those flashy PowerPoint slides and fake confidence, there’s not a single lead coming in. I’ve seen them struggle and fail to make things happen.
In fact, i know their leads aren’t even real. They’re just recycled from other sources and many times made up entirely.
But hey, a webinar's a webinar, right? As long as people believe it.
And I think that’s the part that cracks me up the most. These types will do anything for a buck, even if it means deceiving people into thinking they’re some sort of guru.
If you’re in the game long enough, you start seeing the pattern: the ones who don’t show their team, or their process, or even admit where they learned their strategies... they’re usually the ones who are up to something shady.
Call it intuition or experience, but trust me, when someone’s too quiet about their operation, it’s often because they’re hiding something.
I’ve been in this game for a while now, and there’s one thing I’ve learned: transparency goes a long way.
People respect transparency, especially when you’re upfront about how you’ve achieved your success. And guess what? Those who credit the real source—whether it’s a mentor, a book, a podcast, whatever—are the ones who get my respect.
Why? Because they’re not trying to sell a fake narrative to the world. They’re building something real.
On the flip side, the fakers? Well, they’ll get their comeuppance eventually. Because here’s the thing about the online world: it’s full of people who know how to smell a scam.
If you can’t back up your claims, if you’re not walking the walk but only talking the talk, then the jig is up sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time before your audience catches on.
And when that happens? Well, let’s just say the whole “guru” persona crumbles faster than a house of cards in a windstorm.
I get it—everyone wants to be the expert, the go-to person. But there’s a difference between earning your stripes and just pretending to wear the badge.
If you’re out here teaching webinars with flashy slides and all that jazz, but you’ve got no actual experience or results to show for it, people can see right through it.
And trust me, the people who buy into that act? They're the ones who will probably be left in the dust, wondering where their leads went (because they sure as hell didn’t get them from the guy doing the webinar).
Honestly, though, I’m not even mad about it. It’s just funny to me now. Watching someone so confidently sell what I taught them, pretending like they invented the whole thing.
It’s almost cute. But at the end of the day, I know that what really matters is the work. It’s not about the webinars, the flashy promises, or the fake testimonials.
It’s about doing the damn thing, day in and day out, and letting your results speak for themselves.
And hey, if you want to try and fake your way through it, that’s your choice. Just don’t expect me to give you a standing ovation when you finally get exposed. 😉
But for now, I’ll be over here, quietly building my business, generating leads, and helping people in ways that actually work. And when it comes to the scammers? Well, I’ll just be watching from the sidelines, popcorn in hand, because you know what they say: “What goes around, comes around.”
So here’s a tip for you if you’re looking to get into this whole “online business” thing: don’t fake it ‘til you make it. Just do the work, keep your head down, and remember where you learned what you know. The real ones will respect you for it. And the others? Well, they’ll get a front-row seat to their own downfall. 🍿
Alright, now that you’ve had a good laugh, here’s the deal. If you’re seriously looking to get your lead generation game on point, I’m happy to share my actual SOP with you. Yep, the very same method that’s been working wonders for me (and a few others I’ve helped along the way).
All I ask is that you promise to be transparent with it. No claiming to have invented it, no pretending like it’s your original idea. Just use it, do the work, and if it helps you, give credit where it’s due. It’s all about being real in this game.
Drop a comment below if you’re interested, and I’ll get that SOP to you. Let’s build something legit together! 💪👊
