8 Offers Printing Clients Right Now
Daniel Fazio walks a whiteboard through the agency offers his students are selling in late 2026, and the one filter that explains why they work.
November 5thThe argument in one line.
Offers only print money when you sell a result with low supply, to buyers whose economics make your price an obvious ROI, so scale comes from volume at a working price instead of ever higher margins.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You sell a service like ads, cold email, funnels or SEO, and prospects keep saying you're too expensive or going quiet after the sales call.
- You are an agency owner stuck at a few thousand a month who assumes the fix is to raise prices or sharpen your pitch.
- You sell leads, booked calls or clients to other businesses and want to know which kinds of clients can actually afford you.
SKIP IF…
- You want a step-by-step tactical walkthrough with tools and screens. This is a talking-head argument about economics, not a tutorial.
- You sell to consumers or run a product business. The examples are all B2B service arbitrage.
The full version, fast.
Fazio says most offers fail because the seller has no moat: the service is easy to copy, so supply is high and prices collapse. The fix is a capability few people have, a newer skill the market hasn't saturated yet, or a big-idea result others won't promise. Next, sell to clients whose economics work. A $200 call is a bargain to a $10,000 product with a 20% close rate and a loss to a $1,000 one. Finally, scale by selling more of a profitable result, not by raising price, because price elasticity shrinks the buyer pool.

00:00 – 00:58
01 · Why some offers annihilate
Fazio opens with results from 60-plus clients and asks why identical effort produces wildly different outcomes.
00:58 – 03:57
02 · No moat, no money
If your service has high supply, no barrier to entry and no unique capability, there is no reason to pay you over 10,000 others. E-commerce email marketing is the example.
03:57 – 06:53
03 · Two ways to create scarcity
Develop a capability others can't easily copy, or promise a big-idea result others won't. Both are hard, and that's the point.
06:53 – 07:21
04 · New skills and the supply curve
AI video ad creatives pay well now because supply is low. As more people learn it, margins erode and sellers need a bigger promise.
07:21 – 09:38
05 · Sell to economics that work
A worked example of a $200 call sold to a $1,000 product versus a $10,000 product, plus the risk-averse client who still balks.
09:38 – 10:36
06 · Buyers do the ROI math
Guaranteeing five calls for $5,000 tells the prospect you cost $1,000 a call. Everyone prices the result, whatever the service format.
10:36 – 13:38
07 · Scale by volume, not margin
Don't double price for the same result. Sell more of a profitable result, as Walmart did with a 2% margin, and watch price elasticity.
13:38 – 14:39
08 · Challenge pitch and sign-off
A five-day AI Client Acquisition Challenge at $50 rising to $250, plus a pitch for his coaching program.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- If your service takes ten hours of YouTube to learn, the supply is high, so the price is low and no pitch fixes that.
- You can't make millions from something that isn't hard. If it were easy, supply would be high and the price would be low.
- There are two ways to differentiate: own a capability few people have, or promise a result your competitors won't.
- Promising 10 sales calls gets ignored. Promising 250 stops the scroll.
- New skills pay well because the market hasn't sophisticated yet. As supply catches up, margins erode and you have to move to a bigger promise.
- A $200 call sold to a business with a $1,000 product and a 20% close rate costs them $1,000 per customer, so you'll be called too expensive.
- The same $200 call is a $9,000 gross margin win for a business selling a $10,000 product at the same close rate.
- Even a client with the right economics can be too risk-averse to buy. You need both the math and the appetite for risk.
- Selling five calls for $5,000 tells the buyer you charge $1,000 a call. Prospects do that mental ROI math every time.
- To scale, don't charge $10,000 for the same 10 calls. Sell more calls to people who already profit from them.
- Walmart won with a 2% margin and ten times the volume, not by chasing a higher margin on each sale.
- Raise your margin too far and price elasticity kicks in: fewer buyers can justify the price and total profit drops.
- Every service business is really selling a product: leads, calls or clients. Nobody buys the activity itself.
Scarce result, solvent buyer, volume pricing
OFFER ECONOMICS
A strong offer needs low supply, clients whose math works at your price, and growth through volume rather than ever higher margins.
02No moat, no money
- If many people can copy what you sell, no pitch will save the price. Check how long it would take a newcomer to match you.
03Two ways to create scarcity
- Differentiate by building a capability others can't easily replicate, or by promising a result bigger than competitors will commit to.
04New skills and the supply curve
- Newness creates temporary scarcity. Expect margins to erode as the market learns the skill, and plan your next step up in promise.
05Sell to economics that work
- Divide your price per result by the client's close rate to get their cost per customer. If it approaches their product price, they will say you're too expensive.
- Sell to clients with high-ticket products and enough appetite for risk to buy. Math alone is not enough.
06Buyers do the ROI math
- Prospects compute your cost per result whatever the format. A guarantee of five calls for $5,000 is a $1,000 call to them.
07Scale by volume, not margin
- Don't double the price for the same result. Sell more of a profitable result, because higher margins shrink the number of buyers who can justify it.
- Reframe your service as a product: leads, calls or clients. That is what buyers actually pay for.
Terms worth knowing.
- Moat
- Something that keeps competitors from copying what you sell, such as a rare capability or a result nobody else will promise.
- Big idea offer
- An offer built around a headline result large enough to stop people scrolling, like booking 250 sales calls in two months.
- Price elasticity
- How much demand drops when price goes up. Push price too high and the number of buyers who can justify it shrinks fast.
- Gross margin spread
- What a client keeps from a sale after paying for the lead or call, before their own cost to fulfill the work.
- Arbitrage business
- A business that makes money by producing a result at a low cost and reselling it at a higher price.

I've helped a lot of people make like hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, like 650K a month, 500K a month, 450K a month. I have like over 60 of these. And why is it that some people can get results like that and a lot of people don't?
You try to start selling some offer and it stalls out or like no one's interested in it. Like no one wants to get on a sales call with you or you do get somebody on a sales call and it's like objections, objections, and they're all poor and no one wants to pay for anything. And it seems like some people sell something and just like for some reason, it just absolutely.
absolutely annihilates. And it's like, what could possibly be going on that they get all those results and you don't. And I want to try to make this not like a vague concept to you to give you like a precise answer because there is a reasoning why I see all the time.
I know why these people get results and some people don't. And the first one is that a lot of you guys are selling something that people just don't want to buy or what you're selling. It has zero barrier to entry.
It's been years or decades of people. people who have also had the time to get skilled at the thing also that you are selling. It's not different from anybody else.
You don't possess any kind of unique capability that nobody else does. Like you're not different than them. You need to sell something that has an imbalance of supply and demand.
Like, let me just give you a theoretical example. Let's say you sell like, I don't know, someone sells like an SEO service. It's like, okay, well that has had like literal decades of people, like time for them to get good.
at it who have also went to sell it as a service against the same quantity of people there's a lot of supply for a fixed level of demand for it and like this applies to all sorts of stuff like oh i build funnels or i build websites or i do this and a lot of the stuff you guys are selling like you don't have anything unique there's no skill that you have that tens of thousands of other people have not had the time and chance to build themselves and also just replicate your business you have no moat there's no reason why somebody would pay for your thing versus the 10 ,000 other people who sell the exact same thing.
Now, this is interesting because then what happens is people will ask, they'll be like, well, Daniel, how do I differentiate myself? And the answer is basically one of the two following things. I'll give you an example of one I see a lot right now.
It's like e -commerce email marketing. It's like everyone's trying to sell e -commerce email marketing. Well, guess what?
It's not hard to do e -commerce. email marketing. It's not.
It really isn't at all. Any bozo could spin it up after like watching 10 hours of YouTube videos and doing some AI stuff. And look, congratulations, he has an e -commerce email marketing agency.
It's really easy to just replicate that business. Get what I'm saying? The answer to the question of how do I differentiate myself is to acquire a capability that has a low amount of supply.
Now, what typically has a low amount of supply? Generally, it's something that's new. So like, I'll give it for.
instance, what if you were to make an actual AI email marketing system thing that makes actually good emails? And you might be like, well, Daniel, AI spits out like really, really, really poor quality emails for e -commerce right now. They don't look good.
To which I would be like, okay, well, if it was so easy, like, yes, it's going to be difficult to make that because you're going to have to feed it with a bunch of stuff and kind of like put all these guardrails behind it and set up the system like this and this and this. It might take you a really, really, really long time to do that.
And they're like, but that's hard. So it's my response is, what are you expecting? make millions of dollars for something that isn't hard?
Because if it wasn't hard, the supply wouldn't be low. And if the supply is high, then more than the demand, then the price is low and then you make no money. It's really that simple.
Like you just need a capability that other people don't have. So that's one option you can have is to just actually develop something that people don't have or can't easily replicate. Or you like build your entire business based off of a big idea.
So like an example of a big idea. something like I'll get you X giant result for something. I'll book you 250 sales calls with this funnel in the next two months.
That's a big idea. And I'm not saying something like I'll book you 10 sales calls. No one cares about 10 sales calls.
They care about 250 sales calls. That's a lot. That's like someone will see that and be like, wow.
Or if you said something like I'll book you a thousand sales calls, you know what I mean? It's like, that's insane. You know, like that stops people scrolling.
You're like, I would like a thousand sales calls. it's either you have an actual capability that other people don't have, or you promise a result that other people are not promising. And both of those are interesting because you're like, well, both of those are difficult.
To which again, we go back in the loop of how are you expecting to make a lot of money from something that isn't difficult? Again, it's a supply and demand curve. If you want to charge high prices at a super high profit margin, you need to be in an arena where the supply of your thing is low because other people won't.
or can't do it. That is how you differentiate yourself. You do something that people, other people, your competitors won't or can't do.
That is the only way that supply could possibly be low. That's it. Now, another way to find this imbalance of supply and demand is to just do something that's really new because not enough time has elapsed for enough people to get good at it yet.
So I'll give you, for instance, is AI ad creatives or like AI video ad creatives. Like this is huge right now. Why are people making a shit ton of of profit selling that right now because it's new.
It's like, it's only a couple months old. Like it's, it's really like novel. There's not, it's not been enough time for that market to sophisticate.
So let's say like you have just, we're gonna use arbitrary numbers of one to 10. There's a level five of demand, right? But there's a level one of supply.
So the price is super high. No one's selling it, right? So of the people who do want it, they want somebody to do it for them.
There's not a lot of people that are selling it. like the people who do sell it can make a ton. ton of profit on it, like upcharge the hell out of it.
But as time goes on and more and more people learn how to make AI video ad creatives, then the supply will go to two and three and four and five, and then it will be an equilibrium. And then more and more people, and then someone will start selling a course on it, how to make a bajillion dollars selling AI ad creatives. And then the supply goes to six and seven, but the demand has stayed there.
It's eight. So now the profit margin gets eroded. It's eroded down and down and down and down.
And then what does that market have to do? They then can't just say, I'll make you AI ad creatives. They have to then start also selling on a big idea of I'll get you this result, this insanely high result that other people won't promise you, or they need to try to develop some other type of AI ad creative that no one else can do.
So again, it's always going to degrade back down to, as the market sophisticates, something that other people can't or won't do. That's always how it works. So what does that mean?
It means that no matter what option you choose, it's always going to be difficult. There's no situation where you make a lot of money and it's not difficult. That's not real.
That doesn't exist. Okay, so the next thing in order for you to actually make sure that you can get your stuff up to 100K a month, 500K a month, a million a month, is you need to sell to a market where the pricing and the economics between your stuff makes sense. So I'll give you for instance.
If you have some lead gen offer or something, or let's just say that it costs you $100 to produce a call for a client, and you're selling to a client who what they sell, we're going to use arbitrary numbers. For simplicity's sake, we're going to say that the show up rate on calls is 100%. So say a client, they sell a $1 ,000 product.
Your cost to produce a call is $100. You sell calls to them. for two hundred dollars their close rate is twenty percent so what that would mean is their cost per acquisition they have to buy five calls at two hundred dollars which is a thousand dollars but they sell a one thousand dollar product they make zero dollars therefore the economics of who you're selling this to it doesn't work and those people will tell you you're too expensive this is too expensive i can't afford this this is too expensive that's what they'll say then you have another category of person let's say they sell a ten thousand dollar product.
They still buy the calls from you for $200. They still close at 20%. Therefore, their cost to close a client is $1 ,000.
So they make $9 ,000 in gross margin, not net margin, because we haven't accounted for their cost to fulfill, but they make $9 ,000 in that spread. Okay, cool. So now the economics make sense.
Oh, but wait, not actually yet, because there's a category of person who may charge $10 ,000 for their stuff, but they don't really sell that often. They don't ever really make any sales of that. So they're super insecure and they don't want to take any risk in their business.
So they go to you and you tell them, I'm selling the calls at $200. And they say, no, that's too expensive. I won't pay for that.
So they're too poor for $200 per call effectively in your price. It's too risky for them. So that's another variable of, okay, well, not only do we need to sell somebody that sells expensive stuff that would make economic sense in the first place, but then we need to sell it to a business or...
business owner who isn't so poor that they're not willing to take any form of risk whatsoever. So those two things must be true at the same time in order for the economics of your business to make sense at all. And I want you to understand that it doesn't matter if you charge like, let's say, and I actually had a client that was doing this.
It was very interesting. You'll be like, I charge $5 ,000 for my service and I'll guarantee you at least five booked calls.
Okay, if you say that, the prospect you're selling it to and the person you have on the phone, the person you're trying to sell this to is going to obviously do the mental calculation that you're trying to charge them $1 ,000 a call. But you say something like, well, it might be more than five calls. That's not good enough though.
You're promising them five for 5 ,000. That means that you're selling me calls at $1 ,000. This is what you have to understand.
They're not dumb. Everyone's doing the mental calculation and trying to determine, am I going to get an ROI or not? This is why you have to understand that the only way that you ever, ever, ever make money in business is if you can produce some result at a low cost and resell that result effectively at a higher cost is the only way you make any money.
That simply is how that goes. And now I was just in a conversation. I have this conversation all the time, actually.
I was trying to explain to people. because it doesn't matter if you charge a retainer, it doesn't matter if you charge per call or what the service is. It could be an ads offer, a cold email offer, a LinkedIn offer, a content offer.
It doesn't matter. Somebody's always buying a result. You need to be promising a result and somebody's only going to buy because of the prospective result that they intend to get working with you, right?
So they're always equating it to what's the cost per result you're selling. So you may think like what you're thinking, the way to scale is say your effective result is like you're selling $200 a call. think the way to scale is by selling 500 a call or $1 ,000 a call.
It's not actually true. It's just that you need to sell to people who buy more calls effectively. You would think that like, oh, if I have a $5 ,000 offer where I promise 10 calls effectively, that the way to scale is to instead charge $10 ,000 for the same 10 calls.
It's not correct. It doesn't work like that. So you double the price for double the calls or you triple the price for triple the calls.
You just sell more of the calls that are already profitable. That's how that works. Because if you make the cost per result so excessive, it no longer makes economic sense for a lot of businesses.
And you need both profit and volume. Let me give you, for instance, Walmart only sells their stuff. Like Walmart's whole thing is get the cheapest possible price and have a super low margin, like 2 % margin, 3 % margin.
You should go read the book called Made in America. What retailers used to do is they would have like 30%, 40%, 50%. margins on every single item.
The way Walmart got so big is they were like, no, we're going to do a 2 % margin on every item. And that's going to be so much better of a deal that we're just going to sell more than 10 times what the other people do. So we'll make an higher absolute amount of profit because of the sheer volume that we can get for the pricing.
What you might be thinking scale is I progressively get a higher and higher and higher and higher and higher margin. It's not always true. You are actually just fine.
an equilibrium of the market is willing to pay about this much for this result. And if I price it like this, I get an absolutely astronomical amount of people who are interested in buying that result for me. And then what a lot of times can happen is called price elasticity.
If you try to increase your margin substantially higher, it starts to make economic sense for way less people. The absolute amount of profit you make in your business goes down a lot. You're trying to find that equilibrium of a low supply of people that know how to get a result for the cost that.
I can get a result and I sell it to the market at this price that tons of people are interested in it. And I make an absolutely massive amount of absolute profit. That's how it works.
Generally, every market is different. So you have to find what the perfect pricing is and like what you need to do and how much you can generate the result for it versus what you sell the result for. Everything is an arbitrage business.
What you're thinking is because you're a service business, like, and you're not a product business that, Oh, I don't have a. I'm not selling a product, but you are. Every service business is actually selling a product.
You may think you're in the business of creating content or running ads, or you're not. You're in the business of selling leads, selling calls, or selling new clients to people who want leads, calls, and clients. That's what they want.
No one's buying any offer from you beyond the purpose of generating leads or signing more clients. You're selling them that produced result. That's it.
We're hosting a live five -day challenge called the AI Client Acquisition Challenge. It starts November. 16th.
The tickets are $50. If you wait to join after November 16th, the tickets go to $250. That's at AIClients .com.
And if you're watching this after that, we help people build six and seven figure AI marketing agencies where we show you what offer to sell, how to get clients, how to fulfill for those clients with AI, and what kind of clients that you should sell it to. That is at go .clientascension .ai. That's where you can work with me directly and I can help you implement everything we talked about today.
Both of those links will be in the description. Hope you got some value from this video. I'll see you in the next one.
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Some people sell a service and it annihilates. Others sell the same thing and get objections and silence. Daniel Fazio says the gap is not charisma. It is supply, economics and pricing.
Named ideas worth stealing.
00:58model
Supply and demand test for an offer
- Is supply of this service high?
- Does it need a unique capability?
- Does it promise a result others won't?
If many sellers offer the same thing for a fixed level of demand, price and margin collapse. Differentiation means lowering supply: a hard-to-copy capability or a bigger promised result.

Two paths to an undercrowded market
- Acquire a capability others can't or won't build
- Promise a big-idea result others won't promise
- Be early on something new
All three work by keeping supply low relative to demand. All three are difficult, which is why they pay.

Client unit economics check
- Client's product price
- Close rate
- Cost per call at your price
- Client's risk tolerance
