how do i cold call them without getting hang up in the first 10 seconds lol cause they are uk hard working and tried by all the physical work so ya if anyone can help that would be great thanks

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice. I'm based in North Macedonia and I'm starting an AI automation agency targeting US businesses. I want to manually cold call around 50–100 US businesses per day. My problem is that I don't have a registered business yet. Most providers I've tried (like Twilio and CallHippo) ask for business verification or have restrictions that don't fit my situation. I'm looking for a solution that lets me: - Get a US phone number - Call US businesses manually (no robocalls) - Use it as an individual from North Macedonia - Stay compliant - Scale later once I register a business Has anyone here been in a similar situation or found a provider that actually works? I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice from people who have done this themselves. Thanks!

​Hey guys, glad to be here. I know a huge bottleneck for outbound agencies is hiring and managing appointment setters. ​To solve this, my team built a plug-and-play AI voice assistant that talks in real-time without that awkward "AI pause." ​I’ve set up a free 1-minute live browser demo for anyone who wants to test the raw conversational speed from their phone. Drop a comment below if you want me to send you the link to try it out!

I guess paying attention to details isn't my strong suit. But that's what's great about this group because learning to pay attention to details actually helps you move the needle in your business. I'm from Flagstaff, Arizona after having endured the crazy in California for 40 years and 2020 was when I decided to wave goodbye to start fresh in the mountains of northern Arizona. I'm working on building business automations using Ai to help me scale my small consulting business and have already had some great success in building tools that will make a huge difference for me. I'm all about learning from others who have been on the journey longer than me, as well as being a resource for anyone else that I might be able to help if I can. I am currently working on a project that will build me an agency level CRM with integrations without having to pay $300-$500 per month that has custom integrations for outbound and inbound calls, SMS and email automations. I'm using Claude code, Claude.ai and a lot of business intuition for the project. I haven't yet explored Ai phone agents but have one that already does a great job with that through Quo (formerly Open Phone). That tool is great, but can get expensive once you start burning through the credits. So, I can certainly see the value of creating something that works natively on your computer or on a cloud based system vs paying the ever increasing costs for Ai credits. I'm looking forward to learning and being a resource for others in the group.

Hello everyone! After having fallen into a very unique business niche and knowing precisely what needed to be done I was watching AI going through such rapid growth I started to pay attention to see how this might help me in my business. My lack of knowledge about coding and computers actually worked to my benefit because I thought that most of what I needed was simpler than I was being led to believe. Mainly by developers who, for obvious reasons, were likely seeing the writing on the wall with regards to their ability to charge the fees they were getting for most projects. After being quoted $25k for what I thought was a simple tool to take data from an excel file and map it onto an editable PDF, save each one and create a zip file with completed forms with the data, I thought I’d give Claude a shot. I figured all I would be out was some time and a few bucks. ($40 to be precise) So I took the head knowledge I had (which took years of trial and error to learn) and wrote my first ever AI prompt to create this automation tool for my consulting business. Having never coded before, I had an aptitude for understanding what was going on behind the scenes when Claude was walking me through this process. In a little over 2 hours, I was able to create an automation tool that will allow me to work on 7 figure accounts that was not possible without this tool. I have since been busy building the systems I will need to scale my business and using AI only makes that easier. The learning curve is getting much shorter for just about anything you need to learn. Watching YouTube videos where I learn how to do something that would have taken me months before now takes 15 minutes. While I’m not a coder, nor am I a genius I know that the AI revolution will be changing everything within the next few years. And I agree with Elon Musk who was asked about AI when he took a few minutes of somber thought to say when asked: “what do you think about AI?” His somber answer after careful contemplation was: “it can go incredibly good, or it can go horribly bad. It’s up to us (the humans) to make sure it doesn’t go horribly bad.” (or words to that effect)
