Hello guys, I was able to get a case-study client today. Their problem: Needs more leads in his niche. I have never worked with lead creation and enrichment before so if you have any tips for me/resources that I could look into I would appreciate it so much. Hope you all have a great day!

Just crossed 5k on Upwork since I started back in November with a $5 project 😂( Back then people laughed at me because of how little I made, but I kept at it. I've played this game before, you start slow and build over time) Now my next goal is to push every single contract towards the 1k mark. I'll still do some contracts for less than 1k just for the experience to use the tools and be able to say that I've used the tool. But besides that if there is no real upside in terms of skill or money I'll just say no. Which reminds me of, I just received another €300 offer but this was straight up not a €300 build more like a €1000 build minimum or even more 😅

A few days ago I applied to a job on Upwork. I sent over a Loom video of my profile, what I've done and just some proof that I can deliver. They came back a few hours later and booked a meeting. Before the call I received an 18-page PDF on what they wanted. That document scared me to the point where I was second-guessing my skills. But then on the call itself, they revealed that they're looking for an AI agent to reply to customers. Lol. A lot easier than I thought. So here's where things go wrong. I do not diagnose the problem at all. I assume that the problem they present is the problem to solve. So when I agree to the job and that I can deliver the agent, we're basing the entire project on: "what they think the problem is." So I sent over an offer for $1207.75. They try to negotiate it down to $800. I revert back that this covers the entire project. And they counter with adding in more things and accept the deal. A few minutes later I receive the contract. At this point I've locked down the contract and I believe I can complete the job. I have a week to deliver an MVP and I have enough cash to hire help if I can't deliver. But then I receive an invitation to their customer service platform. I start looking around and setting up everything. This is when I start to realize that they're using zero internal automations. And when I start going through their emails I realize that 97% of all tickets use templated replies. The last 3%? Refund/cancellation issues or standard customer service questions. Those 3% are the perfect place to use AI because of the nuances. But the 97%? A simple set of rules and automation handles that. They don't need AI, they need automations that runs based on rules. That will clear all cases within a day. And that's without using AI. Looking at this, I could have figured this out if I had asked them about their setup in the call. I would have offered a simpler solution instead of a complex one without even thinking about it. The lesson is: ask more questions, dig for the problem.

Hello guys, just a few weeks into this AI world and I have already been able to create something sought for. Was on a call the other day and they said they has a problem: When a CV arrives in their company email, they want an instant follow-up to tell the people that their CV is being evaluated. So I got down to it and built it for them. It's simple enough but the fact that it solves a real problem is the most important. What do you think? Any improvements? PS: Creating the IMAP and SMPT email credentials was such a pain😆 Anybody relates?
