Performance model

Pay for qualified booked calls — not marketing busywork.

Goliath is a performance-based growth team for media companies. You are not buying hours, software, or a generic retainer. You are investing in qualified sales opportunities that land on your calendar.

The difference

Not a retainer. Not random marketing activity.

Traditional agencies sell time. Goliath offers a connected team aligned to booked opportunities.

Traditional agency model

  • Monthly retainers
  • Paying for activity and hours
  • Unclear deliverables
  • Hard-to-measure value
  • Lots of meetings and revisions
  • No direct link to booked opportunities

Goliath performance model

  • Performance-based structure
  • Qualified booked sales calls
  • Clear lead criteria agreed upfront
  • Paid ads → landing pages → booking
  • Qualification before your calendar
  • Billing tied to qualified opportunities

Transparent pricing

The numbers — published, not hidden behind a call.

One start deposit. One per-lead rate. You fund ad spend. Nothing else.

Goliath service fee

$250 per qualified booked call — after your first four are covered.

One start deposit. One per-lead rate. You fund ad spend. No retainer. No hidden fees.

To get started
$1,000

One-time deposit that fully covers your first 4 qualified booked calls ($250 each). Commitment on both sides — not an extra fee on top of those leads.

After lead 4
$250/ qualified lead

Same rate, every qualified booked call that meets criteria agreed before launch. No tiers. No surprises.

Ad spend — separate, in your accounts

You fund campaigns directly. Goliath manages and optimizes them.

Minimum$50/day$1,500/month

What the per-lead fee includes

  • Paid ad creative and campaign management
  • Qualification-focused landing pages
  • Calendar booking flow
  • Lead notifications
  • Ongoing optimization

What you pay separately

  • Ad spend (you pay platforms directly in your accounts)
  • Sales calls and closing (your team)

Example — first month, 8 qualified booked calls

Start deposit (covers leads 1–4)$1,000
Leads 5–8 × $250$1,000
Goliath service fee$2,000
+ your ad spend at $100/day (recommended)$3,000

The $1,000 deposit equals $1,000 in lead value — you are not double-charged for your first four.

Fair & specific

What counts as a qualified booked call.

Not every lead is billable. Criteria are agreed before launch so both sides know exactly what qualifies.

  • Meets agreed qualification criteria (budget, role, fit)
  • Books a confirmed time on your sales calendar
  • Provides valid contact information
  • No obvious disqualifying answers on the form
  • Meets the agreed budget threshold
  • Final qualification rules confirmed before launch

Shared accountability

What each side owns.

Goliath generates the opportunities. You close them.

Built for media

Why this model works for media companies.

You understand attention. We connect it to qualified sales conversations — with creative, traffic, and qualification in one loop.

  • You already have attention — audience, content, reach.
  • Goliath turns that attention into qualified conversations, not random leads.
  • Low-fit prospects are filtered before they waste sales time.
  • Creative, paid traffic, pages, qualification, and booking — one connected team.
  • A clearer path from marketing spend to sales conversations you can close.

Eligibility

Minimum requirements.

Clear expectations — so the right companies move forward and poor fits self-select out.

  • Media company, agency, studio, production co., or podcast/media business
  • Clear offer you can explain in one sentence
  • Ability to handle and close inbound sales calls
  • Willingness to invest in paid ads ($1,500/month minimum; $3,000/month recommended)
  • Can provide assets and access quickly
  • Open to feedback and weekly optimization
  • Want qualified booked calls — not vague marketing help

After you know the price

The strategy call is for fit — not to reveal the cost.

Pricing is public. The call confirms whether your offer, market, and sales process are right for the model — and locks qualification rules before launch.

  • Whether your offer and market are a fit
  • Qualification criteria that make sense for your sales process
  • Ad budget and launch timeline
  • Assets and access needed to go live
  • Expected volume and sales capacity
  • Edge cases for billing (no-shows, disqualifiers)

Questions

How the model works — answered.

$1,000 to get started — that deposit fully covers your first 4 qualified booked calls ($250 each). After that, $250 per qualified booked call. No retainer. No other fees. Ad spend is separate.

No. The model is the start deposit plus $250 per qualified booked call after your first four. No monthly retainer for hours, meetings, or vague deliverables.

A prospect who meets the qualification criteria we agree on before launch, books a confirmed time on your calendar, and provides valid contact information — screened before they reach you, not after.

No. You pay for qualified booked opportunities per your agreed criteria — not every form fill, click, or unqualified inquiry.

You do, in your ad accounts. Goliath builds and runs campaigns; you retain ownership and control. Minimum $50/day (≈ $1,500/month). We recommend $100/day (≈ $3,000/month) for meaningful test volume.

Show-rate is part of what we optimize — confirmations, reminders, and qualification that sets expectations. Billing rules for no-shows are defined in your agreement before launch.

Leads that fail qualification never book on your calendar. If edge cases come up, we use the criteria agreed before launch — fair, documented, and discussed upfront.

Through the booking flow, lead notifications, and agreed tracking — so both sides see what landed on your calendar and what met the qualification bar.

To confirm fit — your offer, market, sales process, and qualification criteria — not to discover the price. We tell you honestly if the performance model makes sense for your company.

A clear offer, target customer, sales process, ad budget, brand assets, and signed-off qualification criteria. We build ads, pages, and booking flow; you show up ready to close.
