How successful are non‑American Maker School members, considering barriers like time zones, language, and accents in sales calls?
I acknowledge that most of the Maker School interviews I’ve shared feature American members, which leaves a gap in showing how international participants perform. I haven’t featured many European, Asian, MENA, or Latin American members yet, and that’s a blind spot I plan to fix by seeking out and interviewing more diverse members. Just as I’ve made an effort to include women despite the male‑dominated hustle‑bro narrative, I need to do the same for geography so viewers can see that people who look, sound, and share their background can also succeed.
Yes, improving your American accent would help because people buy from those they like and who seem similar to them. However, using accent as an excuse to delay outreach is the real problem. The issue isn't the accent; it's avoiding action due to imperfect circumstances. Success comes from taking action despite flaws—just start selling, and you'll improve your accent and skills along the way. Waiting for perfect conditions will hold you back in business and life.
I don't really think that whether you're doing it in the Middle East or somewhere else matters; it's more about human psychology. I understand there are slight cultural differences in how offers are received, but geography shouldn't slow you down—it's often just an excuse. People sometimes say, 'Everything works in your country but not in mine,' and assume you're American, but I'm English and work in the American market, which is a competitive advantage. However, you don't need to be American to make a lot of money; the same approaches that work in American markets work elsewhere because they rely on human beings and psychology, which are similar everywhere. I've already answered this question before, but hopefully that gives you some context.
Maker School includes a 12‑minute video sales letter that walks you through the entire program top to bottom. The core promise is a 90‑day money‑back guarantee: if you follow the steps, you’ll have your first client by the end of day 90. After that, you get an additional three months of daily step‑by‑step resources, templates, outreach recommendations, and custom videos from me. I personally respond to about 90% of every thread posted inside the community, and you also get weekly calls with me plus weekly or bi‑weekly calls with a sales professional for live, hands‑on sales training. The community’s margins are around 98% because I run everything myself—I’m the only one operating it, leading by example, showing up daily, pitching accountability, and providing everything you need to execute the high‑revenue generating activities I teach. In short, it’s a tight‑knit, high‑touch program built around proven, actionable steps.
People will often make split‑second judgments based on your accent or where you’re from, assuming you’re a scammer. The first thing to do is understand that mindset – recognize that they’re coming from a place of bias, not personal malice. That’s only a small hurdle, maybe making your sales process 20 % harder at the start. Change your mindset to accept that it will be a bit tougher, then work on improving your sales skills. Read *Never Split the Difference* by Chris Voss, follow a step‑by‑step sales script, and practice the same structure on every call. By consistently applying these tactics you’ll increase credibility and close more calls despite the bias.
