Hey Broskis, Hope you’re all doing well and starting the year strong. How are you generating clients these days? What’s been working for you so far, and what hasn’t? Also curious, what new strategy or approach are you planning to apply for client generation in 2026 as things keep evolving?

Want to make money with AI? Stop trying to build it. Learn how to sell solutions Right now, thousands of people are stuck on the wrong question: “Should I learn Python?” “Should I build my own AI model?” “Do I need to be technical to work with AI?” Here’s the truth nobody says clearly enough: Businesses don’t pay for AI. They pay for outcomes. No client wakes up thinking, “I want a custom neural network today. ”They wake up thinking,“I’m losing leads.” “My team wastes time.”“My support is slow.” AI is just the tool. The solution is what gets paid. Here’s how the game actually works: 1️⃣ AI builders aren’t the shortage. AI sellers are. Building AI models is hard, expensive, and slow. Selling AI solutions is about understanding workflows, bottlenecks, and ROI. If you can explain how AI saves time or money,you’re already more valuable than someone who just “knows the tech.” 2️⃣ You don’t need to invent. You need to integrate. Most winning AI businesses don’t create new models.They connect existing tools into practical systems. Chatbots. Voice agents. Automations. Follow-ups.Data routing. Simple systems. Real impact. 3️⃣ Clients buy clarity, not complexity. The moment you start talking about LLMs, tokens, or architectures,you lose the room. But say this instead: "This will handle 80% of your customer queries automatically.” “This saves your staff 15 hours a week.” Now you have attention—and trust. 4️⃣ The money is in implementation. AI tools change fast. Business problems don’t. If you can map a business problem → AI-powered workflow → measurable result, You’re not “in AI." You’re in demand. You don’t need to be technical. You need to be useful. The future won’t belong to people who build the smartest AI. It will belong to people who help others use AI profitably.

Agencies don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because their client-generation system has more leaks than a cheap water tank. Here’s the real picture—point by point—so you can see exactly where things break and how to fix them. 1. No Consistent Outreach Engine Most agencies rely on random bursts of outreach. One good week → three quiet weeks → no pipeline. Why this happens:No automated system that runs daily—whether the founder is motivated or not. 2. Leads Come In… and Then Disappear People reply. People show interest. People say “sounds good, send me more info.” Then life happens…And that warm prospect slowly fades into the digital abyss. The leak: No automated follow-up that adapts to the lead’s behavior. 3. Zero Speed-to-Lead If you reply 2 hours later, you already lost them.Another agency already grabbed the conversation. Manual = slow → lost deals. 4. Weak Nurture, No Trust-Building Most agencies stop after 1–2 messages. They don’t educate, don’t build authority, don’t position themselves as the obvious solution. The Fix: A Pipeline Engine That Never Sleeps This is where the game flips. (1) SMS Marketing as the Frontline Soldier SMS gets 98% open rates. Your message is actually seen. And with AI-backed SMS flows: - AI replies instantly - AI nurtures - AI handles questions - AI books appointments directly from the SMS conversation You spend 5 minutes setting up the flow and your calendar fills on its own. (2) AI That Responds Instantly (24/7) AI becomes your always-awake sales rep. It handles: - First responses - FAQs - Objections - Prequalification - Direct booking into your calendar Every reply is instant. Every warm lead gets handled. No delay, no drop-off. (3) Automation That Closes the Gaps Automation keeps everything connected. If a lead shows interest, replies, or interacts in any positive way, automation ensures AI follows up, nurtures, and keeps booking on autopilot—without depending on you to manually jump in.

SMS marketing has always been a powerful channel, but when you combine it with AI… it turns into something completely different. It becomes predictable, scalable, and almost unfair compared to traditional outreach. The beauty is in the simplicity. You spend 5 minutes setting it up, and from that point on, AI takes over the heavy lifting — sending smart texts, handling replies, nurturing leads, booking appointments, and even following up automatically. While you’re working, sleeping, or focusing on clients, your calendar keeps filling itself. Most people still think SMS is just “blast a message and hope for the best. ”Not anymore. AI reads intent, triggers the right response, keeps conversations human-like, and moves prospects toward booking. It’s like having a full-time SDR… without paying a full-time SDR. Agencies who use this are dramatically increasing show-ups and cutting down on manual labor. Freelancers using it are landing more clients without spending their entire day messaging strangers. If you’re running an agency, coaching business, consulting service, or doing any kind of client acquisition… this is one of the most efficient systems to plug in. It doesn’t require new tools, complicated funnels, or insane budgets. Just one simple setup and the system runs in the background. Try it. Test it. Let the AI handle the grind while you focus on the work that actually grows your business.
