Why I Stopped Competing on Price (And Started Winning Every Deal)
Lost 7 deals in a row to cheaper competitors. Rock bottom confidence. Then discovered something that changed everything. I wasn't losing because of price. I was losing because of positioning. THE LOSING STREAK: Deal 1: Lost to $500 quote (mine was $1,800) Deal 2: Lost to $750 quote (mine was $2,200) Deal 3: Lost to $400 quote (mine was $1,500) Deal 4: Lost to $600 quote (mine was $2,000) Deal 5: Lost to $300 quote (mine was $1,200) Pattern: I was always 2-3x more expensive. THE BREAKTHROUGH CONVERSATION: Client who rejected my $2,000 quote called back. "The $600 guy's automation broke after 2 weeks." "Can you fix it?" I looked at his work. Amateur hour. No error handling. No scalability. No maintenance plan. THE REVELATION: We weren't selling the same thing. He was selling cheap automation. I was selling business transformation. THE POSITIONING SHIFT: From: "I build automations" To: "I solve document processing problems permanently" From: "Here's my automation quote" To: "Here's your transformation investment" THE NEW SALES CONVERSATION: "I don't build cheap automations" "I build business-critical systems" "My solutions work for years, not weeks" "I provide ongoing support and optimization" "I guarantee your ROI" THE PRICING FRAMEWORK CHANGE: Old way: Automation cost + margin New way: Problem value ร— solution percentage Example client: Manual processing cost: $45,000/year My solution saves: $38,000/year My pricing: $4,500 (11% of annual savings) Their ROI: 844% THE COMPETITIVE DIFFERENTIATION: Cheap competitors: - Build once, disappear - No error handling - No maintenance included - No optimization - No support My approach: - Build once, support forever - Bulletproof error handling - Monthly optimization included - Continuous improvement - 24/7 support via Slack THE CLIENT EDUCATION: "You have two choices:" "Cheap automation that might work" "Or business transformation that definitely works" "Cheap breaks when you need it most" "Professional scales as you grow"

@Duy Bui Very well said. I have realized the same thing with my other business, and it wasn't until a few years later after much contemplation that I realized it. You've summed it up nicely. This is something we all can learn from.
๐Ÿค Why This Community Exists (My Honest Story)
I need to share something that's been bothering me for months. I've been part of 10+ automation groups. Posted hundreds of times trying to help people. And I keep getting the same result: deleted posts, warnings, and eventually... banned. Here's what gets me removed: When someone asks "How do I find my first client?" and I share the EXACT messages that worked for me - DELETED. When someone struggles with pricing and I show my actual invoices with real numbers - WARNING. When someone needs templates and I share my Google Drive folder freely - BANNED. The reasons they give? "Too promotional." "Against community guidelines." "Not appropriate content." But here's what I think is really happening: These group owners built their communities to sell courses, not create success stories. They want you consuming content forever, not competing in the marketplace. They're protecting their client base, not helping you build yours. Think about it - if everyone in their 50,000 person group actually started landing clients, who would buy their next course? Who would pay for their "advanced masterclass"? Who would stay dependent on them? That's why I created AI First Client Formula with different rules: โœ… Share everything - templates, contracts, exact pricing โœ… Show real numbers - what you charge, what you earned โœ… Help others compete - even if they become your competition โœ… Celebrate client wins - the bigger the better โœ… No gatekeeping - everything free and open I WANT you to take my methods. I WANT you to land clients. Hell, I want you to charge more than me and build something bigger. Because here's the truth: The automation market is massive. We could have 10,000 successful builders and barely scratch the surface. There's room for everyone. But some groups would rather keep you as a student than see you as a peer. Not here. This is for builders who want to BUILD. For people ready to earn, not just learn. If you've ever had your helpful post deleted, been warned for sharing too much value, or felt like groups want to keep you small - you belong here.

@Duy Bui, thank you so much for starting this community and for sharing so openly. I found this group completely by chance yesterday, and after reading your posts, Iโ€™m totally sold. Iโ€™m going to cancel my other subscriptions soon because theyโ€™re mostly 95% noise. Your mindset is inspiring and I fully agree with the things you say. Truly inspiring and clearly well thought out. Thank you so much for sharing so much, thanks again.
