Promoted product

The Full Circle Agency

Verifying you are a human

Why it worked

The video uses a high-stakes, real-world demonstration of a common pain point (cold calling) to build immediate authority, making the subsequent promotion feel like a natural extension of the value provided.

Summary

The creator demonstrates a cold-calling technique for bypassing gatekeepers by sounding confident and using the prospect's first name. He then pivots to promoting his own agency, The Full Circle Agency, as the source of his expertise.

Transcript

Getting past the gatekeeper. Can you shoot me on over to Harry? Let him know it's Mike on the line for him. First name Mike. That's M-I-K-E. Hey, you got it, man. You did an incredible job. That takes a lot. Thank you very much and for the culture. I'll be more than happy to transfer the message to Mr. Harry. All right, beautiful. Thank you so much. So check this out, man. This guy left the number. It wasn't his cell phone number. I thought it was a cell phone number. It does not matter. You don't pivot from your game. The game is to get directly to the guy. Now notice, how do you get past the gatekeeper? Well, one way to get past the gatekeeper is to sound like you're the guy. Right, you're not going to say, 'Hi, what's going on? This is Mike. I was wondering if Harry was available.' Hey, what's going on? This is Mike. Can you shoot me on over to Harry? Let him know it's Mike on the line. Do you know how many times you get past the gatekeeper that way? Because they're like, 'Oh, this person called the guy by the first name, direct and straight to the point.' Someone taught me that about five years ago and I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever forget that and that works. Just follow the page. Just follow me. Copy and paste. I guarantee you this stuff works. Why? Because unlike the rest, I'm actually doing what it is that I say. Mike Schill, CEO of The Full Circle Agency, and we're out.
