Choose the buyer and paid outcome
Define who should pay first, what result they want, what is included, what is excluded, and why the outcome is worth a real money decision.
Make one concrete money ask
Pick a simple path that matches the stage: beta package, paid pilot, deposit, invoice approval, paid call, subscription, checkout link, or one-time purchase.
Read revenue signal honestly
Treat payments, deposits, checkout starts, approvals, price objections, and qualified silence as evidence for the next pricing, buyer, scope, or product decision.
What you leave with
A first money ask with a real next step.
Workflow
How to make the first revenue ask.
01
Choose the buyer
Ask Ted to narrow who is most likely to pay, what urgent result they value, and what proof or risk reducer they need before saying yes.
02
Draft the first paid package
Turn the product, service, template, beta, audit, call, or pilot into a named offer with clear scope, exclusions, price, and next step.
03
Create the money path
Create the page, email, DM, call script, invoice note, checkout link, deposit ask, or payment instructions that make the ask clear.
04
Review buyer signal
Use yeses, nos, silence, specific objections, checkout starts, deposits, and payments to improve the price, buyer, promise, and next build move.
