Friend's small business. Bank statements arrive monthly as PDF files. Someone spends 3-4 hours typing every single transaction into Excel spreadsheet. Categorizing manually line by line. Looking for weird stuff that seems wrong. Last month missed a $6,200 duplicate charge from vendor. Caught it 3 weeks later during random review. THE N8N WORKFLOW Built 7-node automation watching Google Drive folder. Google Drive Trigger watches folder → Download Statement when uploaded → Extract Transactions with structured data → Analyze & Categorize using rules → Log to Sheets summary → Check for anomalies → Alert Team if issues found EXTRACTION POWER Pulls everything from PDF automatically: Account number and statement period Opening balance and closing balance Every transaction: date, description, debit, credit, running balance Total debits and total credits Complete transaction array THE CATEGORIZATION Automated rules categorize transactions: Payroll: salary, payroll, wages Utilities: electric, gas, water, internet Food: restaurant, grocery, food Transportation: uber, gas station, parking Uncategorized: needs manual review Each transaction gets category assigned. Builds spending breakdown automatically. THE ANOMALY FLAGS System catches problems immediately: Large transactions over $5,000 Negative balances any day Unusual patterns detected All flagged with details Slack alert sent if any flags found. Team notified immediately. THE RESULTS Processing real bank statements now. 200-300 transactions typical per month. Before automation: - 3-4 hours manual data entry work - Inconsistent categorization by person - Anomalies found late or missed - No systematic review process After automation: - 30 seconds total processing time - 100% consistent categories applied - Immediate anomaly alerts sent - Complete Sheets historical tracking Real example from last month statement: - 247 total transactions processed automatically - 30 seconds total processing time - 3 large transactions flagged for review - 1 negative balance caught immediately - 8 items uncategorized needing manual review - Time saved: 3 hours 50 minutes that month

(it’s obvious) Imagine this: Your prospect has been moving through your funnel for weeks… They've read your LinkedIn posts. Clicked through to your website/calendly. Booked their discovery call. They show up. They're engaged. They understand the value. They see the ROI. Then you drop the price and… they hesitate. Hitting you with smoke-screen objections left, right & centre. Why? Because you’re probably not offering a strong enough guarantee. You can provide value. You can build trust. You can amplify desire. But if you don’t eliminate risk? You’ll struggle to close 5-figure deals. So rather than harping on about the obvious reasons for having a strong guarantee… I’ll just give you mine and what the AI Agencies I work with use to close 5-figure deals: “The decision to invest in [your solution] isn’t actually today - it’s in [timeframe] - because in [timeframe] if you’re not happy with [your solution] - I’m not happy - so I’ll send you a full refund, which is said on this call recording and written in the contract…” Now that’s what you call a guarantee. Hearing that is what makes prospects feel safe handing over their hard-earned cash to you. But if that guarantee made you feel nervous? Then your service delivery needs work… (not the strength of your guarantee) Take that guarantee, and you’ll close 5-figure AI deals too - no doubt about it. __ I help AI Agencies get more clients & scale.
