Here's the play so you can run it too: Call 1: He tells me his problems. Paying $130/mo for booking software that doesn't even include a website. Customers getting redirected off-site to book. No payment processor. Running everything from his phone. I didn't pitch features — I just listened and repeated his problems back to him. That night: Built the entire thing. Website, booking calendar embedded right on the page (no redirects — his #1 complaint), intake form with photo uploads so he can quote jobs before rolling a truck, payment-ready. The Google Meet: I didn't send screenshots. I shared my screen and booked a fake appointment on his own website LIVE in front of him. Watched the lead pop into the CRM with the name, address, and photos. Then I showed him the review generator — automated text after every paid job, 4 stars or less gets a feedback loop instead of a public review. He stopped me and said "send me the payment link." I never had to sell. The close: $500 setup + $275/mo retainer. He CANCELED his old software on the spot. Then he asked me to build the same review system for his SECOND business — and he's got a real estate website teed up for me next. Three lessons: 1️⃣ Speed IS the offer. I delivered overnight what his last two guys couldn't deliver in months. He literally told me that's why he called. 2️⃣ Demo > pitch deck. Booking a fake job on HIS website in front of him did all the selling. Show, don't tell. 3️⃣ The retainer is where the business is. The $500 is nice. The $275/mo forever — managing automations and sending a monthly report — is the actual business. One client like this a week is a $1,100+/mo raise. Every week. This is the exact model I teach inside here. Websites + automations for boring local businesses that print money. Junk removal, cleaning, contractors — they all need this and nobody's serving them.

Im new to this and im really looking forward to making this my new hobby any suggestions im a beginner!!

one meeting booked 💪lets make this sale

Quick story from this weekend. 👇 Over Memorial Day I got talking with a private equity owner about my agency and my background in cold calling. One thing led to another and I pitched myself to source deals for his firm. We're now in active talks, and the only thing standing between me and getting paid is picking up the phone and cold calling businesses. Here's why I'm telling you this: Deal sourcing is one of the highest-leverage skills you can have right now. If you can cold call, you can get in front of serious money — high-ticket sales and real commission, over 5-figures in these deals. The same skills we use to book and close web design clients translate directly into sourcing deals for investors. So I want to ask the room: Would you want to see deal sourcing videos and a full breakdown here in The Agency Skool? I'm thinking real over-the-shoulder stuff — how I found the opportunity, the pitch I used, how the cold calling scripts work for sourcing vs. closing clients, and how the commission side works. Drop a 🔥 if you want it, or comment below and tell me what you'd want me to cover first.
