Client's agency wanted $12k and 3 weeks. Built it in 6 minutes on our intro call. They paid me $4k.
Client's agency wanted $12k and 3 weeks. Built it in 6 minutes on our intro call. They paid me $4k.
Here's what happened:
THE SITUATION
Client: "My agency quotes 3 weeks for every workflow"
Me: "What do you need?"
Client: "Customer onboarding automation"
Me: "Describe it"
Client explains:
- New customer signs up
- Send welcome sequence
- Create CRM record
- Assign account manager
- Schedule kickoff call
- Send internal notifications
THE BUILD
Me: "Give me a few minutes"
Client: "For the quote?"
Me: "For the workflow"
Opened Skada AI.
Described the requirements.
Generated in 6 minutes.
Me: "Want to test it?"
Client: "You already built it?"
Me: "Running it now with test data"
Everything worked.
Client stared at screen.
THE COMPARISON
Agency approach:
- Discovery meeting: 2 hours
- Proposal: 1 week
- Build time: 2 weeks
- Cost: $12,000
My approach:
- Described requirements: 3 minutes
- Built workflow: 6 minutes
- Cost: $4,000
Client: "The agency said this was complex"
Me: "It's 8 steps"
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
Client tested it themselves.
Worked perfectly.
Client: "Why does my agency need weeks?"
Me: "They're building it manually, node by node"
Client: "And you?"
Me: "I describe it. Tool generates it."
Client canceled their agency retainer that day.
THE RESULTS
Built 11 more workflows for them.
Total time: 73 minutes.
Agency timeline for same scope: 4 months.
Client's message last week:
"Just realized we've deployed more automation in 2 months with you than 2 years with our agency."
THE LESSON
Agencies sell process.
I sell results.
They need time to justify the price.
I need speed to prove the value.
Current average:
- 5.5 minutes per workflow
- $3,200 per build
- Zero revision cycles
- Zero maintenance issues
Who else is tired of "automation experts" who take weeks to automate?
