Hey I'm new to Skool, I figured out the way to learn is to drop a post. I'm lost. If you want to help without reading much just read case study 2. HONESTY 100% EXPECTED. Current status: - 0 websites sold - 2 local businesses contacted - 2 demos built specifically for them - Also running a separate automated hostess portfolio business with my girlfriend CASE 1: Pizzeria, guy that trains with me I built them a website demo. They liked it but said they're in their first year and don't have the money for €150 + €20/month. They also told me not many people know the business yet. Question: Would you... 1. Fight the objection and explain why the website could help them get discovered? 2. Give it away for free in exchange for a testimonial/case study? 3. Walk away and find a better prospect? CASE 2: Cold outreach I found a new pizzeria locally and contacted them with a personalized demo. They liked it and asked: - What does the website include? - Do they need new photos? - How much does it cost? I replied with a quick message saying that I will add new photos, described the content of the website and quoted €500 + €25/month. They said they'd discuss it and get back to me. Questions: - Should I have sent a proper offer/proposal (get doc ready)? - Should I have tried to get them on a call? - Is €500 reasonable for a first client? - How would you follow up? ACQUISITION I'm currently doing ~30 cold messages/day for another business I run. For local businesses, would you: - Cold DM/email/call? - Build personalized demos first? - Create an offer and prospect without building anything? - Run ads? - Something else? LEGAL (Spain) If I close a €500 website + recurring maintenance: - Should I already have a contract ready? - Would you handle invoicing/payment via Stripe? - Would you register as frellancer immediately (start paying quota), or wait until there's evidence of recurring demand? GOAL My goal right now isn't to build a huge agency. I just want to get my first client and learn the sales process properly.

When you're building websites for local businesses, the actual website is only part of the job. You also have to manage leads, client requests, revisions, tasks, content, follow-ups, and all the little things that happen between signing a client and handing over the finished site. I've been trying to keep that side of things pretty simple: - ChatGPT / Claude — research, copy, brainstorming, and getting through repetitive work faster - Figma — planning layouts and getting client feedback before touching the code - Laravel / React / Tailwind — actually building the websites and tools - Notion — SOPs, reusable processes, and client documentation - Floment — keeping projects, daily to-dos, progress updates, and AI assistance together What I like about this setup is that each tool has a job. I'm not trying to find an AI tool for every tiny task anymore. I'd rather have a small stack that helps me go from lead → project → delivery → recurring work without creating another layer of complexity. For anyone running a web agency, what's currently the one tool you rely on most to keep client projects moving?

A lot of agency owners reach the same point: More clients → more revenue → more fulfillment → less time to sell. And suddenly, growth itself becomes the problem. The solution isn’t always getting more leads. Sometimes it’s building the team and systems that can handle the clients you already have. Are you currently handling fulfillment yourself or have you delegated it?

Everyone's using AI to write posts faster. Fine, but that's not where the time actually goes. Here's the exact chain I have running right now: 1. Someone fills out a form on my site 2. It automatically pulls their LinkedIn profile and summarizes who they are and what they likely need 3. It drafts a personalized first message referencing something specific from their profile, not a generic template 4. It schedules that message to go out the next morning, so it never sits in a "to-do later" pile I don't touch steps 1-4. I just review and send. The part people miss: this isn't content automation, it's response automation. Nobody cares if your caption took 3 minutes or 30 to write. They care whether you actually reply to them, and how fast. That's the workflow that's saved me the most real hours, not the one that writes prettier posts. Anyone else automating the reply, not just the content?

Hey guys, quick question for the operators in here. I love the community vibe on Skool, but I’m hitting an execution bottleneck. Skool is great for watching videos, but it feels disconnected from actual delivery. I get hyped on a tutorial, but lose momentum because I'm juggling separate project trackers just to get my daily builds shipped. Are any founders using an alternative platform that natively blends a community feed with built-in task tracking? I need something built for action, not just passive learning.
