Hi, I'm new to this business and don't have a case study yet, but I have a strong offer. My offer guarantees 30 appointments for the client within 30 days, and after 30 days, I refund $25 for every appointment I fail to secure. So, I take $30.25 = $750 upfront from the client, and I don't charge any setup fees. My client told me they don't trust the contract or me because I don't have any references to show, only my social media accounts and content. What should I do? Should I not take payment upfront and only pay for appointments I secure, or is the problem with the client rather than my offer? Should I change my offer initially to gather references?

hi guys, you can only create email accounts with one phone number. does anyone know a way arround this?

Should we do any type of research on each lead that we are calling, or is pace and delivery more important.

I’m at a strategic fork right now and trying to stay disciplined instead of chasing complexity. I have solid experience in short-form content creation and genuinely enjoy it. I can confidently produce high-quality reels and understand how to shape content around a brand’s positioning and tone. There’s very little learning curve for me here. At the same time, I’m aware that for many local businesses, short-form content alone doesn’t directly generate leads. Paid ads and simple funnels usually drive the lead, and organic content acts more as the trust layer when prospects “check the business out.” So my internal debate is this: - Do I double down on short-form content as a focused service, get very good at selling it via cold calls, and start generating revenue now? - Or do I go deeper into Meta ads, lead funnels, automation, nurturing, etc., knowing there’s a steeper learning curve but potentially clearer ROI positioning? My current leaning is to: Start narrow with short-form content. Position myself as the person who strengthens a business’s digital first impression and trust layer. Generate income and build sales skill. Learn paid ads and funnels on the side. Stack skills gradually instead of trying to become “full service” immediately. I’m trying to avoid overexpanding too early and instead build competence, positioning clarity, and revenue momentum first. Would appreciate thoughts from people who’ve been at a similar fork. @Aaron Brewer @Twana Kergaye @Akachukwu Nwamu @Kyle Chan

Hello everyone, I’m new in this community and I’m happy to be here! I have a question: I need to find a way to find clients for an AI automation agency. I want to focus on English speaking clients. The problem is that, I am from Bulgaria and if I want to do outbound cold calls in English speaking countries, I will have to pay big taxes for the calls. Do you have any other methods in mind like Email marketing, social media outreach etc.? Are they good as a starting option without having any social proof yet? I’d love to know your opinion on this. Thank you in advance!
