From $10K builds and monthly retainers to first discovery calls, first agents, and warm outreach turning into real opportunities - this week inside AIS+ showed that sometimes the best clients are closer than you think. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Mike Thomson signed his first monthly retainer with zero cold outreach - a local restaurant found him through Google and closed at $10K upfront + $3K/month. 👉 @Leon Seguin-denis officially launched his agency by signing his first client for €5.5K setup + €290/month recurring revenue. 👉 @Ameeth B. signed a $3.5K + MRR client and shipped a BI dashboard that automatically consolidates data from 7 Smartsheets every morning. 👉 @Dean Henry reached out warmly to just 2 people about AI automation and both agreed to let him build for their businesses. 👉 @Ryan S. Howard held his first discovery call with a large church ministry and uncovered 4 potential workflows, including one that could save a leader 6-10 hours every week. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Karen Widas Karen joined AIS+ expecting useful training. What surprised her most was the community. Someone inside AIS+ helped audit her website, which eventually gave her the confidence to rebuild the entire thing herself using Claude Code - and later build a custom solution for one of her customers. For someone who normally considers herself a “lurker,” she also found herself comfortably posting, asking questions, and helping others. Her biggest takeaway? The right community doesn’t just teach you. It gives you the confidence to build things you didn’t think you could build before. 🎥 Watch Karen’s story 👇 ✨ Sometimes the next opportunity doesn’t come from reaching more people - it comes from becoming more useful to the people already around you.
