Because of his bottom-of-funnel, authority-positioned SEO framework, my husband’s company, Lone Star Diesel Solutions just got the call from Zenith Power Products (they integrate Kirloskar Oil Engines from India into generator power units). They tapped us to perform a cam + piston swap on a 12-valve engine mounted to a Dyno for production testing — and now want us to service their natural gas generators for electric vehicle charging across San Antonio, Austin, and Houston. Here’s what makes this so powerful: 🔧 This wasn’t a routine field repair — this was an engine manufacturer calling us in for technical production testing support. 💡 When global engine companies trust “the little guys” like us with their precision R&D work, it positions us for something much bigger: recurring, high-ticket B2B partnerships. 📍 It proves our positioning is working. We’re not just mechanics — we’re becoming the diesel + generator technology partner for South Texas industry. Because of this one project, I can already see multiple authority pieces coming: - A case study blog on the Zenith/Kirloskar project - A thought leadership piece: “Why EV Growth Depends on Natural Gas Generators” - A new service area page for San Antonio / Austin / Houston - A press release for industry credibility - A LinkedIn series for decision makers on downtime, energy, and innovation Ed — your fingerprints are all over this. 🙌 🚀 No more playing small. This is how little guys turn into industry partners.

Yesterday I changed the group name to Make Money in Local Markets. My goal is to build a community of Proof Stackers who can learn from each other. Over the past 30 years, I've always used Proof to do the selling for me. Curious what works for you. I'll start. I'm Ed Winslow in Wilton CT about 40 miles from NYC. I live in a neighborhood called Silvermine. It's a historic district dating back to 1688. The Silvermine Tavern and Inn is the heart of the neighborhood and still operating under the name "Grey Barns". I wrote my first success story when I was just getting started in NYC Real Estate. I sent it to the New York Times and they published it on the front page of the Sunday Real Estate Section. They never called me to verify the story or that I was a real person. The results were unexpected. Success Stories work. Along with @Caroline Vega I've turned Success Stories into a business. I discovered something amazing. My goal is to share the magic of Proof with everyone. Your turn ...

Are you competitors beating you with A.I. marketing? Or are you beating them? Before the fall rush hits, let's fix the one thing that keeps local leads from landing in your inbox: AI recommends the businesses that show proof where it counts. If it doesn’t see yours, it names a competitor. That stings...and it keeps happening until you make a few simple changes. We'll show you.
