At 8:53 this morning, Facebook decided I might be a robot. I was doing what I always do: hanging out in a few Junk Removal groups I’d just joined, replying to posts, sharing what’s working for my clients, dropping some “how-to” videos, and generally nerding out on marketing and systems. Everything was normal…until it wasn’t. Suddenly, the screen flips to a big warning splash page: “Your account has been suspended.” “Are you a real human?” What to do? Facebook wanted a selfie video to prove I exist, with a nice little note saying the review could take up to 48 hours. So now my personal profile and my automations that help post content for clients are effectively frozen while the algorithm decides whether I’m a person or a bot. About 30 minutes later, the verdict comes in: account restored, all good, “you can use Facebook again.” Life is good, the machine overlords have deemed me human. But there’s a lesson in all this: Rapid posting looks a lot like bot behavior. Dropping multiple posts, comments, and shares in a short window, especially across groups, can trigger an automated review. Even legit automation (like the systems I use for clients) needs to be throttled and staggered so it feels human, not spammy. So going forward, I’m spacing out my automations and not firing 6 pieces of content across 3 profiles at the exact same second. Same volume, smarter timing. If you’re building in public, using schedulers, or posting for multiple brands, learn from my mini heart attack this morning: Facebook loves consistent activity, but not suspiciously consistent.

I was onboarding a client and noticed something weird. Most agencies set up automations after a lead books. I flipped it and built this before the call. Here’s exactly what I did 👇 The “Pre-Call Authority Automation” When a lead books a call: They instantly get a short SMS: “Quick heads up before our call, I’ll review your online presence and pull 1 thing that’s costing you leads.” 6–12 hours later, they get an email with: • a Loom (2–3 minutes max) • NOT a full audit • Just ONE issue, clearly explained • No pitch Example: “I noticed your Google listing isn’t showing for [service] even though people are searching it weekly. I’ll explain why on the call.” 1 hour before the call, another SMS: “Looking forward to the call. I’ll show you exactly how to fix what I mentioned earlier.” What changed immediately: • Show-up rate went way up • Calls stopped feeling ‘cold’ • Prospects started the call already trusting me • Objections dropped because I had already proven competence The wild part? I didn’t sell harder. I just pre-sold credibility. This isn’t a follow-up trick. It’s a perception shift before the call even happens. I haven’t seen anyone talk about this setup, but once you use it, you can’t go back. Curious: Do you currently do anything before the call… or does the trust-building only start once you’re already on Zoom?

The channel on YouTube is growing (1600+ Subs), I've been told we need to cross pollinate to Spotify and Apple to spread the word. Apparently 70% of the podcast listeners are on those platforms. Here is my Day 1 VLOG of attempting to start a Spotify podcast. Follow along and start one yourself with me...
