One person, the whole funnel

I have run every stage of the funnel myself, so I can own it end to end or join a team and focus on one part. Either way, when cost per booked call moves, I know where to look.

  1. Creative

    Copy & creative

    I write the hooks, statics, talking-head scripts and VSLs, then test them angle by angle.

  2. Media

    Meta buying

    Campaign structure, scaling and tracking across 15 client ad accounts.

  3. Capture

    DM or landing page

    Click-to-DM or booked-call pages split by licensed and unlicensed recruits.

  4. Qualify

    AI chatbot

    GoHighLevel Conversation AI qualifies in the DM and books the call.

  5. Result

    Booked call

    On the client's calendar, logged in CRM, reported weekly with show rate.

Selected campaigns

Every figure comes from ad accounts I managed myself, and I can walk through any of them in an interview.

Replacing lead forms with booked calls

Problem
A top client's instant lead forms came in at $9.65 CPL, but few of those leads picked up the phone.
Move
Switched to booked-call landing pages with separate paths for licensed and unlicensed recruits, so each saw an offer that fit.
Result
Recruits arrived already on the calendar instead of in a call list.

Insurance recruitingScaling

Scaling 3.7x while the cost went down

Problem
An agency recruiting campaign had passed a $3.6K test. The question was whether it would hold at a larger budget.
Move
Scaled budget in steps while rotating fresh creative angles to keep frequency and costs in check.
Result
Spend grew 3.7x and cost per funnel completion fell by a quarter.

InstagramClick-to-DM

A recruiting funnel that starts in the DMs

Problem
Recruits on Instagram drop off when an ad sends them to a form on another site.
Move
Launched click-to-DM ads that open a conversation in Instagram, where qualification starts right away.
Result
Thousands of real conversations at a cost low enough to keep scaling.

HookAre you willing to go to war for your future?

PainMost people are not willing to do what it takes to succeed. You run towards hard, but what has it gotten you? A low-paying job and credit card debt?

Recruiting landing pages

Mobile-first pages for agency clients. I wrote every headline and line of copy, and built the pages. Each one speaks to one recruit type and ends in a single action: book or apply.

Copy I've written

Every ad, script and page in this portfolio is my writing. A recruit decides in the first line, so that's where I spend the most time.

Product · Genesiz Media

InsuraHire AI recruiting bot

A GoHighLevel AI chatbot that answers recruits in the DM, asks the qualifying questions, and books them on the agency's calendar. I designed, built and packaged it as a product so smaller agencies get a setter without hiring one. It is now live with agency clients.
