I have been trying to figure out which bank app I should use but still can’t find it. Any suggestions?

I have been doing ai agency for 2 months now but still haven’t gotten I’m first client yet. So I want to know how to find and where to find them, and which method to outreach to them. I really stuck on this stage of how to find and where to if them, my niche right now is on car detailing business but don’t seem to find any client that is interested. Any advice that can change the game?

Sent my first proposal. Client said "looks great!" Then ghosted. Changed ONE thing. Now 8/10 proposals close. THE MISTAKE I sent the proposal and waited. No follow-up plan. No urgency. No clear next steps. Client got busy. Proposal got buried. Deal died. MY WINNING PROPOSAL STRUCTURE SECTION 1: Problem Statement (in THEIR words) "You're currently spending 12 hours monthly manually entering invoice data. This takes time away from growing your business and creates error risk." Use exact phrases from discovery call. SECTION 2: Solution Overview (high-level) "We'll build an automated workflow that reads invoice emails, extracts all data, validates accuracy, and posts directly to QuickBooks. You'll only review exceptions." Not technical. Focus on outcome. SECTION 3: Timeline & Deliverables Week 1: Workflow build and testing Week 2: Client review and adjustments Week 3: Go-live and training Be specific. No vague "2-3 weeks." SECTION 4: Investment Setup: $1,200 (one-time) Monthly maintenance: $200 Tool costs included in maintenance Payment structure: 50% ($600) deposit to start 50% ($600) on delivery SECTION 5: Next Steps "Reply to this email to confirm. I'll send invoice for deposit. We'll start building next Monday." Crystal clear. No confusion. THE FOLLOW-UP SEQUENCE Send proposal: Friday 6pm Follow-up email: Monday 2pm ("Just checking if you had questions") Follow-up call: Wednesday ("Want to walk through anything?") Final follow-up: Friday ("This timeline still work for you?") Most closes happen on follow-up 2 or 3. Not the initial send. HANDLING "I NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT" Them: "I need to think about it." Me: "Absolutely. What specifically do you need to think through? The timeline? The investment? How it would work with your team?" Get specific. Address the real concern. Often it's just: "I need to talk to my business partner." That's fine. "When are you two meeting? I can send some additional info that might help the conversation."

So right now I’m trying to get my first client. I have book a discovery call with my first client before but after the call and the planning he just ghosted me, it my first time doing an agency business I don’t really have the skill yet. Just started 2 months ago and I want to know if the offer and the pitch is the only two things that I need to master or get good at it to get my first client and many more discovery calls in the future?

First 3 discovery calls: Talked too much about technical details. Zero closes. Changed my approach. Next 10 calls: 7 closed. The framework that changed everything. THE MISTAKE I MADE I thought clients wanted to hear about Make.com nodes and PDF parsing APIs. They didn't. They wanted to know: Will this solve my problem? THE 30-MINUTE DISCOVERY CALL STRUCTURE MINUTES 0-5: Build rapport - How's business going? - What brought you to look for automation? - General conversation, not sales MINUTES 5-15: Understand current process - "Walk me through exactly how you process invoices today" - Let them talk - Take notes - Don't interrupt to offer solutions yet MINUTES 15-25: Calculate time and cost - "How many invoices monthly?" - "How long does each take?" - "Who does this work?" - Do the math together: X hours × $Y rate = $Z monthly cost MINUTES 25-30: Preview solution - "Here's how automation would work..." - High-level only (not technical details) - Focus on: what they do now vs what they'd do after - "You'd just review the 5% that need attention, automation handles the rest" KEY QUESTIONS THAT QUALIFY LEADS "What happens if you get behind on this?" (Shows urgency and pain level) "Have you looked into automating this before?" (Reveals if they're serious or just curious) "Who else would need to approve this decision?" (Identifies if you're talking to decision maker) "If we could save you 8 hours monthly, what would you do with that time?" (Makes them visualize the benefit) RED FLAGS They want everything customized Budget is "we'll see" Can't articulate the pain clearly "Just exploring options" Multiple decision makers who aren't on the call THE CLOSE Don't ask: "So, do you want to move forward?" Instead: "Based on what you've shared, this sounds like a perfect fit. I'll send over a proposal tonight with exact timeline and investment. Should have it to you by 8pm. Sound good?" Assume the close. Give them next steps. MY CLOSE RATE First 3 calls: 0/3 (talked about tech)
