196: Why Your Offer Sucks (And How to Fix It) with Jake Setterlun - 8FE

How do you make an offer so irresistible that you don't even need a sales team to sell it? Jake Setterlun is 29, runs four different companies, and somehow manages to make offer-building look easy. He started out doing Facebook ads for real estate agents, but everything changed when he figured out what makes an offer irresistible. That insight led to The Offer Code, his “Purple Ocean” framework, and multiple agencies doing seven and eight figures. In this episode, we get into how Jake thinks about creating offers that do the selling for you, why most agency owners are still stuck in 2018, and what it really takes to use AI in a way that actually boosts conversions. He also breaks down how he tests new offers, the biggest mistake he made while scaling, and how he rebuilt after stepping away too soon. If you’re an agency owner, or honestly, anyone selling something online… this one’s going to hurt a little. But it’s worth it. Tune in to learn how to make your offer the only one your customer wants to buy.  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 01:47 From concept to money  02:33 Biggest business mistakes in the agency space  06:48 How to get into the agency space  08:47 Jake’s offer code  15:24 Creating the offer  20:12 Changing the game with AI  34:25 Biggest mistakes when implementing AI  37:08 Testing offers  38:54 Traffic sources and marketing strategies  49:36 LinkedIn’s role in the ad ecosystem  53:09 Biggest mistake in the last 5 years  57:02 Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs  58:03 Outro — Additional Resources: 🔹  Jake’s Website: https://jakesetterlun.com/  🔹  Jake on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimizedjake/ — ➡️ Learn more at: https://beyondamillion.com/ ➡️ Watch full episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5hbIUyUb68J3nhHSAGDrmUxX4vgXQ4b8 ➡️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Beyondamillion?sub_confirmation=1 — Let's Connect: 🔹 IG: https://www.instagram.com/bradweimert 🔹 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beyondamil 🔹Twitter: https://twitter.com/BradWeimert 🔹 FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089061999787 --  Beyond A Million is a business podcast that reveals the scaling secrets of 8, 9, and 10-figure entrepreneurs.
