The Seven Moves
// what actually changed, and why
01
The Doorman Test
BEFORE
STOP WAITING. START STRUCTURING.
› Structural Alliance Architecture
→
AFTER
Your business is stalled. And honestly? It’s your fault.
› For agencies, coaches & consultants
Why: The headline has one job: make the right person think “that is me.” Not “here is what I do” - “am I in the right place?” Everything above the fold is a velvet rope.
02
Accuse, Then Rescue
BEFORE
(A tidy description. No nerve touched, no relief offered.)
→
AFTER
It’s your fault. → The fix isn’t to chase more referrals…
Why: Pin the stall on them, then rescue them in the very next breath. The accusation only works because the relief lands a half-second later. Accusation without fast redemption is just a stranger lecturing you.
03
Name the Zookeeper
BEFORE
Structural Alliance Architecture (…for doctors? zookeepers? backend engineers?)
→
AFTER
For agencies, coaches & consultants.
Why: Say who it is for, out loud. If the right buyer cannot find themselves on the first screen, they scroll past forever. Specificity is not a risk. It is the whole point.
04
Kill the Logic Gate
BEFORE
Revenue Inevitability · Infinite Referral Dependency Eliminated · The Logic Gate
→
AFTER
Referrals are a gift. Not a growth plan.
Why: Translate every piece of jargon into something a human would say at a bar. Nobody vibes with a logic gate, and nobody can measure “infinite.” This is where the best line on the page was born.
05
Pick the Right Villain
BEFORE
Most elite firms operate on a Word-of-Mouth Luck model.
→
AFTER
…the firms that can’t grow are stuck here. Not you. Yet.
Why: Never make the buyer the bad guy. “Elite firms run on luck” makes me want to stay elite, thanks. Aim the villain language at the problem - never at the reader.
06
Don’t Burn the Boats
BEFORE
The traditional fixes are strategic suicide.
→
AFTER
These are the traps smart people fall into for all the right reasons.
Why: Do not trash every other path to growth. Your buyer is probably standing on one of those boats right now, and good partners protect their optionality. Frame the alternatives as traps, not crimes.
07
Best Line to the Front
BEFORE
“The accidental generosity of your network” - buried near the bottom.
→
AFTER
Pulled up front, next to Embedded Distribution™.
Why: Find your single best phrase and your IP brand, and drag both to the top. The gold was sitting in a basement nobody scrolls to. Buried gold is just dirt.
