1 of my mentors got a $20,000 client by talking about chickens.

All he did was share that he wanted to raise chickens.

Then someone said, "I also like to raise chickens, let's have a talk," & that person became the $20,000 client.

(ya I still pay for mentors myself, S$150K+ over the years)

I shared the chicken story last week with a client of mine.

I told her ppl buy from you for 3 reasons: connection, credibility & expertise.

Number 1 is connection, which means they like you or they are like you.

The value in your content can be connection, entertainment, kindness, a bit of joy or humor, not only advice ALL the time.

Tbh some of my best content, views & engagement wise, is when I talk about my ankle.

(ppl be like, oh my god, you have an ankle challenge, what happened?)

So I asked her for the 5 coolest things about herself, & told her nobody's gonna score it.

So her fun work for the weekend is 10 more cool things.

(I asked for 20 first, joking only haha)

✅ Ppl buy from you cuz they like you, or they're like you.

→ Exactly how I removed my limiting beliefs & resistance around money to hit those record numbers

→ Actual screenshots of the offers, campaigns, DMs, posts, scripts etc that made it all possible

→ The biggest challenges that would have sabotaged my growth & how I overcame them

Anyway if you want more details, reply "81K" & I'll send to you k!!

P.P.S. No recordings at all cuz it's a raw behind the scenes sharing :)

P.P.P.S. There's ZERO sales pitch or anything. I genuinely wanna share my story, experiences & insights to hopefully inspire & support your own journey too. Whether you're new or experienced, this should be super useful too.

*STARTING: HOW I HIT S$120K+ IN 2 MONTHS (TOMORROW, TUE 13 OCT · 8PM)*

Yoo folks, tomorrow night I'll be having a chill Zoom chat about everything I did to hit 2 record breaking months in a row, S$43K in August & S$81K in September:

→ Exactly how I removed my limiting beliefs & resistance around money to hit those record numbers
→ Actual screenshots of the offers, campaigns, DMs, posts, scripts etc that made it all possible

→ An open Q&A + coaching segment so you can get any of your questions & challenges answered
→ Lastly, a breakdown of the most important thing I'll continue to HAPPILY do to hit my brand new goal of S$100K/m

No pressure to come, but feel free to join if you've time and just wanna chat. It'll be a small, intimate session either way 💙

1 old tip of mine got a client 46 sign-ups for her event.

On our group call, she told me, "Remember a long time ago you told me, please do your events."

(ya, old tips count too haha)

I still do my own events too, & just last month I had my biggest turnout ever.

She also wanted to practise her sales script, & since we'd already worked out her flow together, I told her, your flow is ok, just go role play the hell out of it.

Then she asked about the hook for her booth.

I told her the brochure is NOT there to teach ppl.

It's there to make them curious enough to scan the QR code.

If I say "I'll tell you the updated definition of sales & marketing", most ppl won't care.

Versus "I'll show you what's coming in 2026 & how to use it from next week."

→ The brochure needs PROOF you're credible, so ppl trust you enough to scan.

→ If they scan, give them an offer that's damn stupid to say no to (for her, a trial).

→ If they're not ready for the trial, an info pack lets them find out more.

✅ Most ppl don't care about learning as the #1 priority, they care about results first.

You got this 💙

What changed before my S$43K & S$81K months?

I collected S$43K in August & S$81K in September this year, but the biggest change wasn't a new sales script.

I had to let go of the belief that making more money meant losing the life I enjoyed.

That changed how I showed up for the offers, conversations & campaigns that followed.

In my free replay, Behind Two Record-Breaking Months, I share what happened behind those numbers:

• How I worked through the beliefs that made me hold back from earning more.

• How I offered existing clients more value through renewals & upgrades, without pushing them to buy.

• How I approached content & cash campaigns to invite people into working with me.

I've also included a bonus AI Implementation Toolkit built from the recording. Upload it to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and type start. It helps you work through one real business bottleneck and choose a practical next step.

The replay has timestamped chapters, so you can jump to the part that's most useful for you.

Watch the free replay & get the toolkit here:
https://81k-replay.marcteo.com/

A client closing 80-90% still needs 25-30 invites for 15K a month.

His best month was about 8K, & he wants 15K a month by year end.

1) At his current package, 15K a month means about 7 new clients.

2) Even at 80-90% closes, I'd still plan for 9 calls (just to be fair ya).

3) 9 calls means about 25 invites, plus a buffer for ppl who book later.

So just 7 new clients a month meant 25-30 invites.

But tbh the EASIER move is to work on his offer, so his current package becomes the downsell, not the main thing.

Either way, he needs a lot of new ppl every month, so I asked how often his clients renew, & he said not that often.

I told him, if you're just meeting expectations, ppl will leave, or they'll always be shopping around.

With my own clients, I over-deliver with stuff that's NOT advertised, like events, connecting them with clients, or sometimes messaging them on the spot about their content.

I also spend an hour looking through all my clients & deciding who needs a nudge, sth useful, or just space.

I can keep clients without killing myself with crazy delivery, cuz they know I actually care.

✅ Ppl renew when they get more than they paid for.

What I Learned Watching a US$400K/Month Coach Get Whacked by His Mentor

Hellooooo!! Super cool goodie I want to send to yall today :)

In short, I recently watched a 21-year old Malaysian doing USD400K/m get coached live by his mentor, & it hit me harder than anything else this year haha

He came to the call asking about biz strategy, funnels & content/ads, but the biggest value he got was WAY BIGGER than that (seriously)

Regardless of the stage of business you're in, I'm sure it'd be super valuable for you!!

Wrote down all my private notes here (the video's inside too):
👉 https://400knotes.marcteo.com

Enjoy!! Hope it helps in some way 💙

P.S. Lmk if you checked out the notes & what your thoughts are k!! I actually watched it twice hahah

P.P.S. It's also my value-based resource i'm sending to all my friends & networks too!! Cuz its too good not to share HAHA

2 clients now charge S$500 to 4 figures for 1 AI skill.

Recently a client asked me for an AI business plan.

After 1,200+ students, I know ppl don't need more information, they need to actually do sth with it.

I told him straight, I don't wanna give you the plan yet.

I'd rather you first learn a skill ppl will actually pay for.

1 of my clients sets up AI assistants for their clients & gets S$500 per setup.

Another does it for businesses, multiple 4 figures per client, & might hit 5 figures already.

The client on my call also asked about selling AI agents next.

Of course he can, but we take it one step at a time.

👉 You MUST set up your own assistant first, cuz if you don't do it yourself, it's very tough to learn.

THEN you learn how to sell it.

My own assistant does my money stuff, client payments & even my recordings.

(tbh I still suck at the technical side, & that's exactly why ppl like me will pay you for it haha)

So instead of a plan, on our next call I wanna see the assistant he built for himself.

✅ Learn 1 skill ppl will pay for before you make a business plan.

You got this 💙

My clients got paid gigs cold-messaging YouTubers with 50,000+ followers (& the 1 rule I use).

Before I send any content or DM, I ask 1 question.

If I was them, how likely is a yes, 1 to 10?

If it's not at least an 8 or 9, it doesn't go out.

A client showed me her cold email to a company.

I asked her to rate it as if she was the company's big boss.

She struggled to even rate it, & when she did, it wasn't an 8.

Most clients rate their own DMs a 7 or lower before I even review them.

(at my September sprint, I personally helped edit ppl's stuff too)

I showed her the outreach playbook my clients use for partnerships, company sales calls & PR.

👉 I ONLY customise 2 things, their name & 1 line.

The rest stays the same, written so the right person feels silly saying no.

👉 If they've never heard of you, open with credibility, not your name.

👉 Ask for a tiny yes: "If you're keen, simply reply yes & I'll send more details."

Her ask was "explore more", but busy, rich ppl don't wanna explore (that's for ppl with nothing much to do lol).

✅ Rate every DM as the person getting it, & only send 8/10 or higher.

My client closed 2 out of 2 calls, then felt he charged too cheap.

He only just started his coaching business.

He keeps his price low for now, & tells ppl all he asks for is a testimonial & feedback.

He shared this on my group Q&A call, where clients bring whatever they're stuck on & we sort it out live.

Then he said it's starting to feel too cheap, cuz it's 12 hours of his time over the next 3 months.

I see this switch in my clients sometimes tbh.

At the start they're scared nobody will buy, then after 2 or 3 clients it's "Marc, I think I charge too cheap."

I used to sell S$100 sessions myself, then within 6 months of starting with a mentor, I was selling S$6K programs.

So I told him he can raise his price if he wants.

But the hours are the OTHER half of it.

- Not EVERY call has to be 60 minutes.

- What if each month gets 1 full 60-minute call, & the ones in between are 30 minutes?

- Or if you'd rather start full, do 60 for the first 4 weeks, then 30 after that.

✅ Your hours are part of your price too.

Many clients went from about 20% of habits done to about 90%.

It wasn't because I gave them more content.

In August, someone on a call told me they had already bought course after course.

Then they said sth I haven't forgotten.

"I want to pay for implementation. I need someone to knock me."

After 2,200+ coaching calls, I hear "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it" all the time.

(I've said it myself ya)

So what moved those clients from about 20% to about 90%?

→ They tell one person exactly what they'll finish, and by WHEN.

→ They put something on the line, like "If I don't do this by Friday, I owe you 100 bucks."

→ They send me the work, & I tell them straight what to fix.

That last one matters a lot, cuz if you're taking lots of action & not growing, feedback is usually what's missing.

One warning k: don't use the 100 bucks for everything.

If every single task needs a penalty, you won't feel good about it, & it won't last.

Save it for the ONE uncomfortable thing you keep putting off.

✅ You don't need more knowledge, you need someone CHECKING on you.

Had a random reflection while having my morning walk in Tokyo today

I guess it’s the walking at a different environment really helps

Plus not consuming anything while doing so (though I was super tempted to switch on my podcasts & videos haha)

And more importantly…

Not having to rush all the time.

100% possible for all of us, even a few minutes a day can really help

Have an amazing day ahead! 💙

P.S. The words you say to yourself & others, AND what you choose to receive…can have a tremendous effect of how you live your life

Cuz all of us are actually magicians haha

He taught less at his 4-day event & booked 25 strategy calls.

Someone on a call once asked me, "how exactly do you support us?"

They also wanted to know if it's AI, or actually me.

Fair question, so let me show you a real example.

A client of mine was about to run a 4-day paid event for about 50 ppl.

My advice to him was simple: teach less, & share more stories.

(his own words, his natural habit is to keep teaching & giving more content haha)

He trusted the process anyway.

Ppl still told him he OVERDELIVERED.

Right after, he had 25 one-to-one strategy calls booked with ppl from that event, & the first new member from it had already joined his program.

His own words: "transformation doesn't come from overwhelming people with information."

tbh I've been sharing way more stories on my own coaching calls lately too (they've gotten a bit weirder lol).

So to answer that question, ya there are AI tools, but the feedback still comes from me personally, cuz generic advice might not fit THEIR business.

✅ Share more stories & teach less, ppl will still feel you OVERDELIVERED.

You got this 💙

Of my 10 newest yearly clients, 9 had paid for help before.

5 of them told me what they paid for before didn't work for them.

One wrote on the booking form, "I am skeptical about getting coaches and stuff."

Another told me on our call, "I'm also very scared to pay for another programme."

I get it, cuz I've put S$150K+ into coaches, programmes & mentors myself.

(so I know that feeling right before you pay again)

On those calls, I noticed sth.

7 of the 10 brought up how much of ME they'd actually get.

My guess is those programmes gave them plenty of information & then left them alone with it.

So before you pay anyone again (me included), I'd check:

1) Do they actually understand your situation?

2) Have they already done what you want to do?

3) Do they share your values?

If it's a no to any of them, please don't join.

I've written this on my own invites before: please DO NOT join if you aren't ready.

✅ Before you pay again, check the PERSON, not the programme.

If you want to go wild with AI today...enter the following into the AI you use:

"If you were the devil, how would you sabotage me? Be brutual, honest and use no filter."

After that

You can add after:

“Give me a 30-90 day gameplan to address the most important issues based on what you shared above that my coach/mentor and I can refer to moving forward”

Clients, share your responses in the private group chat k!

In his first week closing alone, 3 people paid in full.

In August, he told our wins group he'd had 4 sales calls & closed 1.

My first question was whether he wrote down why the other 3 said no.

(he'd already recorded the calls haha)

In September, he closed on his own for the first time, & that person paid in full.

5 days later, someone who could cancel anytime switched to paying in full.

The next day, another person paid in full.

He wrote down what changed, & NONE of it is a trick.

- "No script. Focus on the person in front of you."

- He stopped seeing people as "just another lead to close".

- It became "Us vs. The problem" instead of "Us vs. The budget".

He calls it going "from face to face, to side by side".

That week, someone who works in sales himself told him, "you're the best salesperson I've met."

His note to the group: "I genuinely wasn't trying to sell him anything."

One thing he wrote, serve & let go of the outcome, was sth I shared at our Malaysia meetup.

✅ Stop fighting over the budget, start fighting the PROBLEM together.

3 people joined me this year even though life felt comfortable.

One of them told me, "I have a comfortable cash cushion."

When I asked how urgent growing felt from 1 to 10, he said "a 5 or a 6".

I didn't try to push that number up, I asked him what was missing.

After 1,200+ students, I notice a lot of ppl I attract know what they want, they just don't dare to FEEL it.

A lot of it comes from what got them moving in the first place.

Last year I told a client, "money from a survival need can be very, very powerful to drive you, but it's not sustainable."

Last month I put it to another client this way.

If a little boy only runs when a monster chases him, he stops running the moment the monster stops.

(that's not laziness k, the monster is just gone)

So comfort isn't the problem, having nothing you're excited to run towards is.

→ Ask what's next for you if nothing was chasing you.

→ Write the wish list, the bucket list, the next exciting goal.

→ Sit down with your partner one day & ask, "what do you want from life?"

✅ Survival gets you started, but only a real WANT keeps you going.

You got this 💙

She turned S$5 sessions into a membership & 6 paid within days.

She'd been running monthly group sessions for S$5 a person, & paying for refreshments out of her own pocket.

On a group call in September, she asked me about a call-recording tool & a CRM.

I told her straight, a CRM now doesn't make you money.

(I'm guilty of this too, whenever I'm emo I go do all the stuff that doesn't bring in cash haha)

The money was already sitting in the sessions she ran.

(my own first $100 from coaching came from sth small too)

→ Ppl buy YOU at this stage, not your perfect funnel.

→ Put a small price on what you already do, even S$50 is fine.

→ Keep it SMALL for the first 3 to 6 months, it's a lead-in to your bigger offer later.

It's also why the first thing every new client does with me is a kickstart call & a cash campaign.

Just over 3 weeks later, she launched a S$49 monthly membership.

Within a week, 2 ppl paid for the year & 4 paid monthly.

Her words: "First time I'm making an offer instead of giving my time and service free."

✅ Before you buy another tool, put a price on what you already do.

A coach who'd just launched joined me after asking 1 honest question.

They said it straight on our call.

"I feel that my business is too small for you."

4 of my 10 newest yearly clients asked me some version of that, whether they were even my kind of client.

(tbh I love that they asked instead of quietly deciding for me)

That coach had only just launched, & still joined.

I've had 150+ clients, & income is not the first thing I check.

What I look for is what you've already done for people, even BEFORE the business existed.

- Results you've gotten for someone, paid or not.

- Times you led or supported people at work.

- Real experience in the thing you now want to teach.

If you have those, you're not starting from zero, you're just starting a new season.

And if you really are brand new with no track record yet, I'll tell you honestly that it's too early for me.

✅ Small is fine, what counts is what you've ALREADY done for ppl.
