Hey everyone! ๐
Want to share a strategy that landed me 2 clients in one week using working demos instead of pitches.
๐ The Results
- Friday: No active prospects
- Weekend: Built 3 demos
- Monday: Sent 9 messages
- Tuesday: 2 clients signed ($4,200)
๐ก The Core Idea
Stop pitching. Start showing.
Build working demos BEFORE contacting prospects. When they see a real solution for their industry, trust happens instantly.
๐ ๏ธ What I Did
Saturday + Sunday (8 hours total):
Picked 3 industries:
- ๐ฅ Medical practices (patient forms)
- ๐๏ธ Construction (permit apps)
- โ๏ธ Law firms (contract extraction)
For each one:
- Found sample documents online
- Built n8n automation with PDF Vector
- Recorded 2-min Loom demo
Monday morning:
Found 3 prospects per industry on LinkedIn (9 total)
Sent this message:
"Hi [Name], noticed [Company] processes [document type] regularly. Built this demo showing how to automate it for [industry] businesses. 2-min video: [link]"
๐ The Numbers
- ๐ 7 watched the demo (78%)
- ๐ฌ 5 replied positive (56%)
- ๐ 3 booked discovery calls (33%)
- โ๏ธ 2 signed within 48 hours (22%)
Compare to cold outreach: usually 5-10% response rate
โจ Why This Works
โ
Proves you understand their painโ
Shows PDF Vector capabilities (OCR, data extraction)โ
Removes the "will this work?" doubtโ
Makes their decision easyโ
Demos become reusable sales tools
๐ฏ Your Weekend Challenge
Pick ONE industry to demo:
- Find their common document type
- Build automation (n8n + PDF Vector)
- Record walkthrough video
- Contact 5 prospects Monday
Time investment: 8-10 hoursPotential return: $2,000-5,000+
๐ฐ The Math
12 hours total work โ $4,200 signed = $350/hour
Plus those 3 demos are now templates I use for every new prospect in those industries.
Bottom line: One focused weekend can fill your pipeline for weeks.
