Yoo my names Jonathan. I'm only 15 but im the owner of monkarsh.ai 💪 I bring in about 15k a month thru my ai agency and work with huge brands like greenworks and Lowes. I usually build unique ai solutions like chatbots for their website, ai phone agents, custom automations, etc. if any of you guys have an ai agency too drop the site in the comments

Client has paid me $3k to build a chatbot that their staff can use to chat to their internal policies and procedures. Which platform should I use? Pros and Cons of each please. 1. Chatbase.co - I have an unlimited account and can just upload the knowledge base docs. Would need a high quality prompt. 2. ChatGPT native. Could just upload the docs to GPT and have their team login to chat.openai.com 3. Voiceflow - basic bot with custom knowledge base, can then deploy anywhere. I would like to connect Make/Zap to collect all Q's that staff ask the bot. Thanks for guidance

Hi all, I'm not able to make today's Q&A as I have a friend visiting for Dubai for their birthday so I'm with them as we speak. I'll see you for next week's as usual! Hope you all have a great weekend. Liam 💪🏼

My first post here. Includes breakdown and template of the approach to proposals/quotes I used to generate 80K$+ in 1st year of sales. 2.5 years ago I started a software development agency, Automation for Lawyers, helping small law firms in the US/UK automate their operations, primarily with no-code tools, such as Zapier and Make. With this business, I have been able to bring in over 80K$ in revenue in the first year, and land my current full-time job with one of my clients. The below template specifically was used to close 30K$+ in projects, with the biggest single one being priced at 10K$. The below template will be most useful for services offering fixed-priced projects where value and Return on Investment (ROI) can be fairly easily and predictably calculated, such as "X hours saved per week". Nonetheless, I believe the framework will be applicable to a varying extent to any kind of agency business. For context, my sales process was the following: 1. Lead books in a 30-min discovery session 2. During the session, I gather the info to be able to produce the below proposal 3. In some cases, a 2nd follow-up session was required to gather all the info 4. I would then prepare and send them the proposal using the template below, which they would e-sign 5. We would then sign an actual contract with all the legalities 6. After the payment has been received, we would start the work Sometimes as well I would build them a small Minimum Viable Product (MVP)/demo for free, this was especially useful for the first few cold leads, so that they could gain trust in me. For bigger projects, it also may be sensible to run an hourly-based audit project before preparing the proposal, where you would gather all the required info about the project, and where the deliverable would be a report/project plan the client can take away and hire either you or someone else to build the project. Below is the breakdown of each part of the proposal template, and attached you will find a Word template to kick you off if you would want to replicate it.

I saw a wonderful post earlier tonight that very clearly demonstrated significant ROI to a client in year one of 2-5x. Found here: https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-agency-hub-8466/agency-project-proposal-template-80k-in-sales?p=a1b14547 I'm wondering where you have seen the BIGGEST IMPACT and drivers for ROI (either in performance increase OR cost reduction (or other)) for companies using either your or other AI Automation solutions? As being able to demonstrate this (actual empirical ROI) is so crucial to attracting and closing large clients. I've seen "case studies" from "credible members" of the community that are garbage; lacking completely all elements that make a good case study (the problem, the solution, and the results against baseline with credible, proven, demonstrable metrics and measurements. In my opinion, for the community to start charging what these solutions are worth, and NOT the relative pennies most seem to be charging, this (credible and authenticated ROI) has to be present and promoted. I'm hopeful many of you can share the key results you have seen, NOT with company name or any other identifiers, just the raw data on returns and key measurements. That is, in my opinion, what the CEOs and business owners are going to want to see (in addition to a significant track-record, social proof, a best-of-class, ideally (near) flawless, AI Automation solution, etc. etc. etc)).
