Hi, I have a potential client who has a list of 3000 contacts that he has entered into his database manually, so in reality those people hasn't agreed with anything related to SMS marketing. The client want's to do DBR, but he doesn't know if those contacts can be texted or not. What can you tell me about this?

Before working with a client, I wish to Test DR and check if messages are being sent or not, and also to check the complete Workflow. So will I be charged for that from Twilio or Leadconnector? Please explain this WHOLE SMS and Phone number thing.

I'm in the UK but will quote the figures in $$$ A few weeks ago I noticed a FB ad that had a great video but was otherwise, not great. The ad went straight to FB Messenger so I messaged him in the nicest possible way 'love your ad but it will never work' and sure enough, 3 days later he came back to me and said 'you're right, yours is the only message I got from the ad'. This told me 2 things, 1. I was right (duh) 2. he had no concept of speed to lead since he took 3 days to answer. Long story short he agreed to a discovery Zoom, after which I did another Zoom with a MCTB + DBR demo, both of which went terribly as GHL was so slow that day. Typical 😑 He runs a video promo company, 2 employees, been in business for over 5 years. With 1 new customer every week he must have a DB of 500-1000 customers, right? Wrong. Turns out he has a lot of repeat business and his spreadsheet has like 70 people in it. Most of his customers are in Outlook installed on his MacBook. His average price for video is $1200 which is way too low, his product is really really good. His business is him, his 2 employees, some Macs, and a spreadsheet. We had 'that' conversation (GHL will save your business) and I eventually sold him a sub-account at $495pm and 8 leads a month at $1000. I say 'eventually' as I pitched him on the 2nd Zoom and he said he would think about it. I caught him as at a bad time (or was it a good time?) he had no sales on a few weeks and was worried about money. The next day he went to a conference and paid $700 for a pitch and got no sales. The next day I got the text (attached) from him saying lets go. This is not an ideal client and if I was further down the road I would have run a mile. He needs too much attention and essentially I will be more like a 'dragon' business advisor than someone automating his sales. However 1. I like him and want to help him 2. I am learning GHL / SAAS / DBR / MCTB etc. so, need the practice (ie, barely know what I'm doing) 3. If I pull this off I will have an awesome case study for my next client 4. Video prod companies could become my niche?

What do you need to know about the client list? Let's say you have a prospect that has 3k people in his list. What do you need from him to be considered an ideal client to do a DBR? I was thinking in the following: -How clean the list is -How people opted in -We need to have such an irresistible offer that would make your clients feel dumb if they said no. -The average client life time value -When was the last time people were contacted through SMS? -Are those contacts clients, former clients, potential clients, or a mix? If it's a mix, is it segmented? What do you think guys?
