🔥Hey everyone I’ve been building automations with n8n for a while and created a few full projects for different business automation. Now I’m trying to take the next step - find my first client or sell my first automation.I’d really appreciate if you could share how you found your first client or landed your first paid n8n project.What worked for you at the start - and what didn’t? Also, if anyone’s curious, I’ve shared some of my workflows and portfolio on my Upwork profile I’d be super grateful if you take a quick look or share any feedback🙏 Thanks a lot for your time and any advice you can give!

Do you know where most business cards you collect at a trade show end up? In a drawer. Or worse: in the pocket of a jacket you won't wear again until next year. And with them, you lose business opportunities, conversation context, and that "hot lead" who seemed so interesting at the time. The real problem A client (BUSINESS GROUP) reached out with a very specific challenge: they'll be exhibiting at SICUR26 and wanted their sales team to capture leads quickly, without friction, and have those contacts land directly in their CRM (Clientify). The traditional process looks like this: 1. You grab the card → 2 seconds 2. You put it in your pocket → 1 second 3. Back at the hotel, you manually enter it into the CRM → 3-5 minutes (if you even do it) 4. You try to remember what you talked about → impossible Result: 70% of business cards never get processed. And those that do arrive without context. The solution: a PWA with integrated AI I built a mobile app (PWA) that does this: 📸 Take a photo of the card (front and back if needed) 🤖 AI extracts automatically: name, company, title, phone numbers, email, address, website, LinkedIn... ✏️ Verify the data in a form (in case the AI misses something) 📝 Add notes: "Interested in product X", "Call in March", "Spoke with Juan" 🚀 Send to CRM with one tap Total time: 20 seconds. And if there's no connection in the exhibition hall, no problem. The app saves everything offline and syncs automatically when the connection returns. I did the math: If you enter the data manually, each card takes about 4 minutes between finding it, opening the CRM, typing in the fields, and trying to remember what you talked about. At a trade show where you collect 50 cards, that's 3 hours and 20 minutes of administrative work. With the app, the entire process takes 20 seconds per lead. Those same 50 contacts get processed in just 16 minutes. Savings: over 3 hours that the sales rep can spend on what actually matters: selling.
