    Strategic Pivot: Daily Dominance is fully focused on delivering for existing paying clients. This isn’t a retreat—it’s a strategic reallocation. We built the engine, proved its power, and now we’re ready to hand over the keys to the right visionary.

    The Opportunity: Step into a turnkey, audience-validated platform with a built-in listener base and clear authority. If you’re an operator or sponsor with the vision to scale and the ambition to dominate, this is your window.

  • FOFD026 - The LP Onboarding Machine: From Signed Docs to First Distribution
    Oct 3 2025

    What's inside:

    • Welcome Sequence Within 24 Hours: Personalized email acknowledging commitment, confirming wire, outlining next steps. Include one-page "What to Expect" guide: distribution timeline, communication cadence, key contacts, portal access. Kickoff call within 72 hours—introduce yourself, walk through fund structure, answer questions, establish partnership tone. Immediate engagement prevents buyer's remorse.
    • Month 1 Distribution Strategy: Get cash in their hands fast—even modest current pay or preferred return validates decision, shifts psychology from "I spent" to "I'm earning." Pair with brief distribution memo: payment breakdown, fund snapshot, next steps. Early win is retention anchor—LPs seeing Month 1 cash flow are 3x more likely to reinvest.
    • 30-60-90 Communication Rhythm: Month 1, detailed onboarding report—portfolio overview, holdings, DSCR metrics, upcoming deployments. Month 2, lighter touch—market update, new acquisitions, success story. Month 3, full quarterly KPI dashboard—return attribution, occupancy, debt service, forward outlook. Trains LPs to expect transparency without overwhelm, builds trust through consistency.
    • Relationship Rituals That Create Insiders: Personal touches—birthday notes, exclusive pre-public deal updates, invitations to quarterly calls or site visits. Share wins: "Your capital closed this deal, here's the impact." Segment communication—high-touch for largest, streamlined for smaller—but make everyone valued. Turns transactional investors into ambassadors.
    • 90-Day Checkpoint and Redeployment Setup: Day 90 personalized check-in—recap returns, highlight performance, ask feedback. Plant seed for next commitment: "Opening next tranche Q2—interested in increasing position?" Offer early access or preferential terms for existing LPs. Natural progression from nurtured relationship. LPs feeling heard at Day 90 become most reliable repeat capital.

  • FOFD025 - Crisis Capital Playbook: Raising and Deploying When Markets Freeze
    Oct 2 2025

    What's inside:

    • LP Reassurance Framework: Deploy bad-news protocols with proactive updates, transparent DSCR stress tests on current holdings, and revised projections with conservative assumptions. Script: "Here's what changed, here's our exposure, here's the mitigation." Builds trust, prevents redemptions, positions for next capital.
    • Capital Raising in the Freeze: Shift pitch from growth to preservation with upside. Emphasize senior structures with current pay, conservative leverage, downside protection via DSCR floors. Leverage 506(b) relationships for trusted capital. Offer smaller minimums or phased commitments to lower friction. Operators who raise in downturns own the recovery.
    • Deal Selection Under Stress: Tighten filters—1.3x DSCR minimum at current rates plus 150bps stress, locked fixed-rate or capped floaters only, cash-flowing assets over value-add. Use alliances for distressed opportunities with justified basis. Run every deal through 60-minute go/no-go with extra exit scrutiny.
    • Deployment Timing and Staging: Stage capital in tranches—30-40% immediate high-conviction, 30-40% six-month reserve, 20-30% dry powder for 12-18 month distress. Protects against falling knives while staying active. Communicate strategy to LPs for commitment retention.
    • Competitive Advantage Play: Move with precision while competitors freeze. Use governance for fast closes (days not weeks), leverage alliances for co-investment on larger distressed deals, communicate wins aggressively as case studies. Crisis is your moment to dominate.
