So I grabbed coffee with my buddy Rohan last week, and his story is kind of wild. He's been sitting on this enterprise SaaS idea in the HRTech space for months. Good idea too - validated with potential customers. But he can't code much. So he started getting quotes. The developer route? > Senior devs wanted $120K-150K a year plus equity. Even juniors were $80K+. But it's not just the salary - it's the commitment. What if it doesn't work? He was worried about bleeding cash every month on payroll while trying to figure out if anyone will pay for his product. Dev agencies? > Cheapest quote: $23,000. Most expensive: $47K. Timeline? 3-4 months. And any changes after delivery? Extra. Always extra. Then he found this AI coding thing. He took a $500 course on Agentic spec coding - basically using specialized AI agents to build software without being a developer. A month later, he had a working MVP. Not a prototype. An actual product he's testing with real users. The math: - Devs: $120K+ per year - Agency: $23K, months of waiting - His way: $500, one month What surprised him most: The speed, flexibility, and scalability. With an agency, every change takes days or weeks of negotiation. Now he iterates in hours. Idea in the morning, tested and fixed by dinner. This isn't magic. Rohan had frustrating nights because of the lack of experience with spec coding. Things broke. You still need to understand what you're building - the AI doesn't think for you. But if you're scrappy? This is viable. Three years ago, non-technical founders had to learn to code for years or raise money. Now there's another path. Not replacing developers for complex stuff, but for getting an MVP out there? Completely different game. Rohan's product isn't perfect. But it exists. People are using it. Built for the cost of a used iPhone and a month of late nights. What would you build if you didn't need to raise $500K first?

Do you follow your competitors on LinkedIn to know what's happening in the market and who is working with your competitors? While it can give you a lot of insights, it is nearly impossible to track your competitors' activity manually on LinkedIn. That's when you use this n8n automation workflow to find customers through your competitors on LinkedIn: Step 1 - Define your competitors - Node: Manual Trigger or Form. - Input: list of LinkedIn company pages or personal profiles representing direct competitors. - Store them as workflow variables for later use. --------------------------- Step 2 - Identify competitors active 5+ days per week - Node: HTTP Request (PhantomBuster / LinkedIn API partner). - Pull each competitor’s activity log from the past 7 days: posts, likes, comments, shares. - Count active days. - Filter for those with engagement on 5 or more distinct days. - Output: “Active Competitors” list for further tracking. --------------------------- Step 3 - Fetch interaction network of active competitors - Node: HTTP Request (same tool). - For each competitor: - - Gather all profiles they’ve interacted with — those they’ve liked, commented on, or shared posts from. - - Also capture users who’ve engaged (liked/commented) on the competitor’s own posts. - Store: name, LinkedIn URL, interaction type, company name, and engagement date. --------------------------- Step 4 - Filter potential customers based on ICP - Node: Function / Gemini. - Input: all interaction profiles + your ICP. - Ask Gemini to filter and retain only those who match the ICP (e.g., “Operations Managers in manufacturing companies with 100–1000 employees in the US”). - Output: refined list of potential customers likely relevant to your offerings. Suggested Gemini instruction:“From this list of LinkedIn profiles, keep only those who fit the Ideal Customer Profile: [ICP details]. Return their names, companies, and roles.” ---------------------------

There is a new class in the classroom for 10 automations you can complete in 30 mins each. The JSON is included, let's talk about it if you have questions or are using these automations.

I'm going hard on content this week and I really want to get people excited about what's coming! Anyone who leaves an introduction post this week I'm going to send you a very effective, potentially $300/month savings for a flow me and Aswhin are putting together for the last week. It's a personalized email automation flow with instantly, airtable, and ChatGPT where you can get truly personalized emails with 1-1 personalization at scale. I'm putting it into production and all you have to do is use your API keys and it's ready to go. The JSON for N8N import is very large, I'll send you a Notion document with a setup video, the json for N8N and instructions for setup. Anyone at any level can use this if you have N8N. Ethical bribe to get something happening in the group :). So introduce yourself, show your workspace if you're so bold :) and tell us why you're here. Bonus points for anyone that fills out the poll I sent so I can get some direction for the group. Thank you all for being here and being part of this!

I started this group recently. I’ll be adding more and more content. In the meantime does anyone have any requests for content? Some ideas are below - I’m excited to share and learn together.
