Just got off a call with Chris and my mind is blown.
Just got off a call with Chris and my mind is blown. Packed with value from start to finish — he listened to exactly where I am in my Skool journey and gave me clear, actionable guidance on what to do next, what to skip, and how to execute. He helped me get my community off the ground in the first place, and this call gave me a fresh boost of confidence. A few of my cohorts have had the same experience — different situations, different stages, but one common factor in all of our growth: Chris. If you're looking for that kind of guidance in your own Skool journey, this community is worth joining. Hit the button and get in.

Insane value
I've only been part of Chris's Direct Sales Mastery Community for a short time and I've already learnt a lot about sales. As someone who didn't engage much in sales skills earlier in my career because it felt 'slimy', I didn't think it was something I'd be able to learn. Thanks to Chris's community resources, I've learnt that sales is not slimy but it's also something that's very easily repeatable once you've set up your process. Using the information from his courses, I've been able to develop tracking and monitoring resources so that I can track what's working in my sales system, what isn't working, and more importantly, HOW to fix it. His resources are easy to read, containing just what you need – no extra fluffy stuff. I'd highly recommend anyone looking to improve their sales performance to join Chris's community.

Why did I wait so long to join? 🤦♀️
Chris' approach to sales is not what you'd expect AT ALL. It's service-oriented, not manipulative. It's compassionate, not pushy. Anyone doing sales of any kind (whether that's selling a $10K coaching program, a $5 digital product, a $300 retainer service, whatever) can massively benefit from his expertise. A lot of which he gives away for FREE. I waited to join because I told myself a story that I wasn't in "traditional" sales. Boy, was I wrong. 11/10 recommend this community.

One of the most valuable communities I've joined
I recently sat in on Des's live event about running live events, and it completely changed how I'm thinking about mine. I walked away with tips I'm already planning to apply inside my own community. What stood out most wasn't just the content — it was how Des delivers it. He speaks with real confidence and holds nothing back, openly sharing exactly what's working for him instead of the usual gatekeeping you see in a lot of these spaces. It's rare to come across someone who's this generous with what actually moves the needle. If you're on the fence about joining his community, don't be. This is one of the few places where the value is real, not just promised.

Best YouTube Marketing Community
Hi everyone, I'm Lana Liquity and I joined the Content Revenue Lab because my goal this year is to get 100 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I've had it for several years but I haven't really worked on getting a lot more subscribers and I joined the Content Revenue Lab so I can hit my goal of getting 100 subscribers before the end of this year so I can increase the number of people who see my podcast, Self Publishing for Professionals. Being a member in Dez's Content Revenue Lab has been like, if I said incredible, I would be downplaying it. Dez drops the best information in little bites so you can follow along and easily implement the action steps he tells you to take. And it's all from his experience. It's not inflated, it's not fluffed, and it's not BS. This is what Dez uses to get his YouTube channel more subscribers, more views, and get the right people to his channel. And these are effective practices that work. If you are looking to get the right subscribers to your YouTube account and want to take those subscribers and convert them into paying clients on Skoll, you should join the Content Revenue Lab. The Content Revenue Lab is not for people who are using YouTube as a hobby or just playing around with videos and throwing them up there. The Content Revenue Lab is for serious people who want to generate serious business and generate the right traffic to their platform, to their Skoll community, and to their YouTube channel.

My favorite community about YouTube on Skool.
My favorite community about YouTube on Skool. What I love the most about Content Revenue Lab, that Des, the founder & host, is very responsive to any questions YT related, he shares everything and does hold back. Not only that, but his answers are real and practical, easy to implement. Des's presentation at the Community Clinic event in my community on YouTube was one of the most popular ones. If you have YT channel, or planning one, to help you grow your business, then I highly recommend you join Content Revenue Lab.
