This is no small project. We're helping a large insurance agency ramp up their outgoing caller to 300 concurrent lines. They want around 250 warm transfers a day from aged leads. That will cost them $1500 to $3000 a day in ai and twilio usage. We're holding their hand throughout the process and building them a custom dashboard. I probably should have charged more but this is my first deal applying ai voice at this scale. I also closed a smaller deal yesterday for $750 setup and $297/month, for single license ai voice plus a ghl crm and conversational ai-- also probably should have charged more. We're learning every day and slowly adding to that MRR. Things are starting to click, but it's been a struggle.

I know it's only a small win, but my biz cards showed up earlier than expected. I do think I will get some attention with these.

I really wasn't expecting this particular co-working space to say yes at all. When I had visited one of their branches I found the receptionist asleep at the desk, one of the members had to wake them up to attend to me. I know, that was odd. 😳 They did however give me the email of the person who would make a decision on my doing a talk. At this point I just went through the motions of sending an email because I just didn't think they would be interested. I was surprised to get an email back just a couple days later asking me to give an outline of the talk. I didn't even respond until yesterday, Sunday evening, almost a week after receiving their email. To my surprise, the person reached out to me just now, this morning and gave me some dates in April. I won't pretend it was easy or that I liked walking the streets of London asking and what felt like begging to do talks but I just made a commitment and stuck to it. I hope this will yield some clients. I'm hoping to get surprises like this as I continue cold calling this week

About 15 years ago, I built out a fairly advanced WordPress site for an association client. It had a lot of moving parts and served them well. A few years later, a new board came in, took things in a different direction, and we parted ways. Fast forward to now… the Executive Director reached back out, and that conversation turned into a major opportunity. We just secured the project to rebuild not only their front-facing website (this time leveraging Lovable + AI), but also their entire backend ecosystem inside GoHighLevel. We’re talking full infrastructure: - Membership management system - Learning Management System (LMS) for training + CEUs - Course sales + delivery - Email and communication systems - Board and internal workflows - CRM + automation - And layering in AI voice + chat functionality Initial engagement is $23K+, with multiple phases already mapped out. The bigger play here is what this unlocks: - Expansion into other state associations - Direct access to their member base (local service businesses) - Becoming a preferred vendor for their members - Long-term backend + marketing retainers| This is exactly the kind of integrated, AI-driven authority infrastructure I’ve been working toward. Appreciate the insights and conversations inside CEO Lab that helped sharpen this approach. This one’s just getting started.
