Technical Founder Struggling With Sales – What Would You Do?
Hey everyone, I could really use some advice from people who have actually built and scaled AI agencies. My partner and I recently started an AI automation agency in India focused on real estate. We're both strong on the technical side and build custom AI systems ourselves. Our main offers are: - A WhatsApp AI agent that qualifies leads, answers property queries, recommends properties, and books site visits. - A complete AI agentic system with Voice AI for follow-ups, appointment scheduling, customer support, and other automations. We've tried a lot of local outreach, especially door-to-door visits, but the results have been disappointing. Most SMEs here either don't understand the value of AI yet or expect everything to be extremely cheap. I even tried lowering my price to just $50 for some offers, but that still didn't generate much interest. From what I know about international markets, these same solutions can easily sell for $1,000+ when positioned correctly. The good news is we aren't starting from zero: - We signed a large real estate client who's currently on a one-month free trial. - We're also in discussions with a quick-commerce company (through a referral) for a WhatsApp AI customer support system worth around $500 if the deal closes. The challenge is that I don't think staying focused only on the local market is the right long-term move. I want to start getting international clients. The problem is: - We have no budget for paid ads right now. - Door-to-door obviously isn't possible internationally. - I'm much stronger at building AI systems than I am at sales calls, and I'm not very confident on cold calls in English. - I do have experience with digital marketing, especially Meta ads, but that's not an option without a budget. So my question is: If you were starting from scratch today with solid technical skills but no ad budget, how would you land your first 5-10 international AI automation clients? Would you focus on cold email, LinkedIn, X, Loom videos, Upwork, partnerships, communities, content, or something else?

You’re actually much closer than you think — the problem isn’t your tech, it’s your market + positioning. From what you described, the issue is local pricing pressure + low awareness. Selling $1,000+ AI solutions in a market that expects $50 will always be a struggle. If I were in your position, I’d do this: 1. Pick ONE clear problem (not “AI automation”) → e.g. missed calls, slow lead response, unqualified leads 2. Target markets where that problem already costs money (US, UK, etc.) 3. Use simple outreach instead of ads: • Cold email with a question (not a pitch) • Short Loom showing THEIR problem + solution • Offer a 5–7 day test instead of selling upfront You already proved demand with your current clients — now it’s just about taking the same solution to a market that can actually pay. Out of curiosity — what specific problem are you leading with right now when you reach out?

@Kunj Patel Yeah, email definitely works — but not the way most people do it. The reason you see people sending thousands is because they’re doing generic outreach. Low relevance = low replies. If you keep it simple and targeted, you don’t need volume. Even 30–50 highly relevant emails can get replies. What’s worked better for me (and others I’ve seen): • Very specific targeting (same niche, same problem) • Short email with one question (no pitch) • Then a quick Loom showing their exact gap Example angle: “How are you currently handling leads that come in after hours?” That usually gets more replies than a long pitch about AI. You’re already targeting the right problems — now it’s just about making the message feel specific to them, not like mass outreach. Are you personalizing each email right now or sending more general ones?

Warm Lead
I have a warm roofing prospect asking detailed questions about WhatsApp automation. I don't have the technical implementation ready yet. I'm looking for someone who can build/deliver this with me. I'll handle sales and the client relationship. You handle the technical implementation. We split the revenue.

This is exactly the kind of use case I’ve been building around. I’ve already got a working AI receptionist for home service businesses (handling calls + booking), so extending this into WhatsApp follow-up/automation for roofing is very doable. Curious — what specifically is the client asking for right now? Lead qualification, follow-ups, or full booking flow? Happy to jump in and build this with you if it aligns.

AI receptionist
Building an AI receptionist for dental clinics—which practice management system would you integrate with first?
1 like • 6h
I’d start with whatever system your target clinics are already using most — not the “best” one technically. From what I’ve seen, tools like Dentrix or Open Dental are pretty common, so integrating with one of those first makes it easier to actually sell. Otherwise you risk building something solid that no clinic can easily plug into. Are you targeting a specific region yet, or still exploring?

Interesting — quick question: Are you looking for just someone to handle conversations, or someone who also understands the offer and can qualify leads properly? I’ve been working on AI receptionist solutions for service businesses, so curious how deep you want the setter involved in the sales process.
