The bride and I went to the local Home Show at our convention center this weekend. Spent a bit of money on fudge and the usual treats. Bought some handmade goat soap and alpaca bag for my MIL. Made lots of connections with roofers, and window installation companies. And made 2 stellar connections with a new home builder and his lovely wife, a doctor.... And the big connection is with the local builders association.. We have been invited to join their upcoming meeting and talk about AI .... It is in a couple of weeks, so we are pretty excited...

I closed the client today! It was NOT an AI yet. However it is a plumber that I spoke to about a month and a half ago that I had met in a contractor's fb group. His website was kind of tattered together with string and broken twine, no SEO at all, no local SEO, Google business profile in the crapper. Really needed some love. After building Rapport week after week, and him interviewing at least five other website builders he finally come back to me Wednesday and we negotiated a deal. 1,500 for a website build 359 a month mrr. And Google business profile of optimization one time fee $1,400 bucks. Pretty happy right now. We did speak in detail about future things he wanted and he's ready to spend quite a bit more money, but I thought it would be best for us to get the Google business profile and the website up and running and settled and getting some leads coming in before we Implement a bunch of other stuff. So foundations. Thanks to everybody in the group that gives me input, @Charles Guerra @Jeremy Bardwell @Jeff Lopez and others for everything that they've provided all of us!

Hi guys, good weekends I hope. Well, a great start to the week here 🤩 Just secured a project to develop a website and a community hub for one of my existing customers. I'll be building it out in HL and integrating conversational AI, automations, newsletters - and a couple of other 'bells and whistles'.

I had an appointment today with a surface coating company. It went kinda well I think. I am perhaps overwhelmed at the moment and fell outta my league. This company advertises heavely with print and online marketing. They currently have a call center that follows up within a minute, of their average 3000 leads per month. they state they have a 50% convert to appointment and a 30% close rate on those 50%, so looking at a 16.5% conversion rate. They are looking to cut costs and increase conversions with ai. I think they need conversation ai to capture those leads by text instead of voice ai. They are already looking at Hatch and Structurly to fill the gap, however wanted to chat with me for a third option. They have my price for the conversation ai, but want a proposal for both via email, and then a follow up appointment for early next week. They are just one company in one state, hinted that they are looking for expansion into other states. Currently having a new crm built out custom, (NetSuite) because their current crm (also custom and old) doesn't play nice with other systems. I feel like i shot myself in the foot giving out the price for conversation ai (6500 setup, 997m), though they asked, but they want a price for voice, which is much easier to put together, but generally cheaper. I went and checked out Hatch and Structurly and now I feel like i can never compete with those companies. I would like to know the groups opinions on next moves, pricing and how to make myself shine enough to score this client.

Tomorrow we're going LIVE with @George Paladichuk and covering how he closed $35k in MRR sales in a single week... You absolutely do not want to miss this. It will be a good one. I'll be live w/ George at 1:15PM CST. Let's get it! ++
