if only i could go right back to the start. lots of people talk about the wins in their journey, but i feel as a community, we need to share losses too. to be frank, there are more losses than wins, we can all relate to them. just publishing wins, can be a dangerous game, we need to get around each other. it's a tough journey and much harder when people only share their successes and rub it in. tbh, that's why I'm making this post. I wish someone warned me of these things before i started my ai agency. It would've saved me time, money and a whole tonne of energy. But truth be told, even if someone did tell me: i'm not sure i would've listened. the hype of getting started and my stubbornness might've stopped me but i've found regardless, the best way to learn is to experience the lessons yourself. especially young and hungry dudes. embrace both the ups and downs - understand it's all part of the process. If you embrace your challenges and help people avoid them, this community will be a better place. That's why I'm telling you two things: -actually learn from my mistakes -actually try to apply these lessons to make your life easier i touched on the above in my recent YT video. always here to help gang. both with general biz advice and personal advice. best, Jack :)

I've been selling AI for nearly 2 years. This has allowed me to have hundreds, if not thousands of sales calls for businesses looking to implement AI. Because of this, I've made every mistake and learnt sales the hard way. This is how I tailored my approach and now have had some success with approaching sales calls in a more structured way. In this video, I unpack the step by step approach I use.

Some businesses miss half their daily calls. So I built an AI Receptionist that fixes this issue. It answers every call, handles FAQs, qualifies leads, and sends clean data to the sales team. Agents can relax knowing it lifts conversions, and works 24/7. I broke down how the whole system works in this vid:

LinkedIn is a strong client acquisition channel. It has active business decision-makers looking for solutions to their problems. Your prospects expect business conversations here rather than entertainment like other platforms. People scroll Instagram for fun, but they open LinkedIn to solve problems. One good post can drive weeks of warm leads with no ad spend. You get organic reach, authority, and direct access to the people who buy. If you run an AI agency or any service business, this is the platform you should master. Just dropped a video showing how we do it.

When a prospect hears about AI Voice Agents... They know these solutions can make them more money. But typically, They have two common reactions: -Curiosity -Skepticism . They don’t know what the tech sounds like, how it fits their business, or if it’ll actually work for their workflow. That’s why we build personalised demos for every qualified lead. Not generic examples. No mock demos. No edited demo recordings. Their own basic MVP. On their own website, with their own FAQs, their own brand voice. Once they hear their business being handled by an AI Voice Agent - answering questions, qualifying leads and booking meetings.... Their curiosity is solved and all hesitation goes away. They like seeing the value in action before they buy. At Talk AI, we build these demos in under 10 minutes. I made a video showing how and why we do it.
