You know that feeling when someone says, "Yes, send it over!" then completely ghosts after you deliver? That's where I'm at. The context: I run Optigent. We help companies fix unclear messaging using StoryBrand, then build automation to scale it. My LinkedIn approach: Find someone with confusing messaging → offer free website audit → deliver detailed diagnosis → invite to discovery call to explore working together. What's working: Everything up to the audit. 50%+ acceptance rates, people are genuinely interested, and audits are thorough. What's NOT: After I send the report... crickets. No "thanks," no questions, no discovery call bookings. Even the ones who seemed excited disappear. They've got a specific diagnosis of their problem. But there's zero momentum toward actually fixing it. My question: Is the audit solving the problem for free, so there's no reason to continue? Am I not creating enough urgency? Is this just normal conversion rates, or do I need way more volume? Has anyone cracked the "value delivered, now what?" gap? Genuinely stuck here.

In ai automation agency do we need a website? I am just starting out. But I can't afford a website in general time now it's sale so I can afford now . So what should I do ?

Hey everyone 👋 This year has been a lot for people trying to build online, AI moving fast, tools changing weekly, automation feeling overwhelming instead of freeing. I’ve noticed many of us aren’t stuck because we’re lazy or lack ideas… we’re stuck because there’s too much noise and not enough clarity. As a digital marketer, my focus this year is simple: help people turn AI + automation into something practical, not confusing. No hype. No “just automate everything” advice. Just real workflows, clear systems, and small wins that actually save time and make money. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck between learning and executing, or unsure how to apply what you’re seeing here, know you’re not alone. I’m happy to share what’s working for me, what isn’t, and learn together with this community. Let’s make AI work for us this year, not stress us out. Glad to be here 🤝

Quick gut check — no overthinking. When you’re building automations for real users or clients, what actually scales better long-term? A) One simple automation that works 95% of the time B) A complex system that tries to handle every edge case Curious where people really land. 👉 React with A or B and comment why if you’ve been burned by one.
