As mentioned in the title, I just delivered a project which is a 24/7 Voice AI Inbound Receptionist for trade businesses. Took me about two months working closely with my client and I implemented it using Vapi, n8n, as well as Simpro, which is a field service management software specifically for the trades. The entire system does the following: - Answers inbound calls automatically - Handles job bookings, rescheduling, cancellations - Forward calls to person in charge in case of emergencies - Answers general enquiries - Creates or updates records directly inside Simpro The goal was simple: Reduce missed calls and automate admin while technicians are on-site working. In total, my client paid me just over $2,000 for this implementation and service, it's definitely a huge win for me. Happy to connect with anyone exploring Voice AI automation for service businesses. ps. You can check out this website for the demo recordings: https://simpro-voice-agent.com/ pss. I would love to share a screenshot of the n8n workflows but I think my client's VPS server is down as of writing 🫠

Hey everyone! Respect to everyone grinding and shipping in here. Your wins are genuinely inspiring. Just wrapped my first paying client and wanted to share because this one almost went sideways. Context: First client was a construction company who was spending 80-100 hours every week just moving estimate data between Monday and QuickBooks. 45 minutes per estimate. All manual. Calculation errors costing them actual bids. I told them I’d automate the whole thing in 3 weeks. Then Week Two Hit: The platform I was building in completely broke. Make couldn’t connect to QuickBooks. Token issue. Their team had no timeline for a fix. I was stuck. So I made a call: rebuild everything from scratch in n8n—a platform I’d literally never touched before. Got it done in under a week. Why That Actually Worked: I’d already designed the system architecture before writing a single automation. When the tool exploded, I didn’t have to figure out what to build. Just how to rebuild it in different syntax. The system now pulls all the project data, calculates square footage automatically, checks for existing customers, maps everything correctly, generates the estimate in QuickBooks, and drops a clickable link back into Monday. Result: 45 minutes of manual work → less than 20 seconds automated. They’re saving between $104K-$156K annually in labor alone. Plus zero calculation errors now. Setup was $8,500 + $750/month for monitoring and optimization. The Real Lesson: “You don’t rise to your goals. You rise to the ceiling of your systems” I first heard this in one of Liam's videos a while back (interviewing Hormozi), and it made conceptual sense. But this project made it real. When everything broke mid-build, the system architecture I'd designed upfront was the only thing that saved the timeline. I didn't have a perfect plan. I didn't have unlimited resources. I didn't have formal training. I didn’t have a team. Just systems-first thinking under pressure. Real talk: this community keeps me moving. Your wins inspire me. Your struggles remind me I'm not the only one grinding through the chaos.
