Found out something shocking yesterday. The average small business loses $28,500 per employee annually on manual data entry. That number hit me hard because I just spent 3 hours helping a local restaurant owner who was drowning in supplier invoices. 25 invoices per week. 30 minutes each to type into QuickBooks. 12.5 hours of pure copy-paste torture. At $20/hour, that's $13,000 per year of wasted labor. THE PATTERN I'M SEEING EVERYWHERE: Dentist offices: Patient forms (4 hours daily) Law firms: Contract data entry (6 hours daily) Accountants: Invoice processing (5 hours daily) Gyms: Membership applications (3 hours daily) Restaurants: Vendor invoices (8 hours weekly) Every one of them knows it's painful. None of them know it's fixable. THE OPPORTUNITY: While they're losing $28,500 annually, you can solve it for $2,000 setup + $200/month. Their ROI: 1,427% Your new recurring income: $200/month per client THE SIMPLE STACK THAT WORKS: Email → PDF extraction → Their system Three steps. Massive transformation. Tools needed: - Automation platform (Zapier/Make/n8n) - PDF processor (PDF Vector handles this perfectly) - Their existing software Total setup time: 2-4 hours Your learning curve: 1 week max I'm watching too many of you overthink this while businesses hemorrhage money on copy-paste work. TODAY'S HOMEWORK: Find one business in your area doing manual data entry. Could be the dentist you visit. The gym you go to. Your accountant. Count their pain hours. Calculate their annual cost. Realize you can save them thousands. Who's going to spot their first $28,500 problem today?

I built X automation bot that pulls the latest crypto news, scores which story will perform best, then drafts and posts the tweet automatically. Thought might be useful for others in this group. Let me know what you think

Forget cold outreach. Find businesses in active pain. THE DESPERATION SIGNALS: **Job Boards** (Indeed, LinkedIn, Craigslist): Search: "data entry" + your city They're literally paying someone to copy-paste Your message: "Saw your data entry posting. What if you never had to hire for this again?" **Facebook Groups**: "[City] Small Business Owners" "[Industry] Professionals Network" Look for: "Does anyone know..." "I'm drowning in..." "Help needed with..." **Google Maps**: Search: Accountants, Dentists, Law firms, Clinics Check reviews for: "Slow paperwork" "Long wait times" "Disorganized" These are automation goldmines **LinkedIn Sales Navigator** (free trial): Filter: Small business, Posted in last 30 days Keywords: "overwhelmed" "manual process" "hiring admin" They're screaming for help **Your existing network**: That dentist you go to Your accountant Your gym owner The local restaurant owner They ALL have document problems MY BEST CLIENT SOURCES: 1. Job boards: 2 clients ($2,400) 2. Local Facebook: 6 clients ($3,200) 3. Direct referrals: 5 clients ($10,500) 4. LinkedIn: 4 clients ($3,200) 5. Google Maps: 3 clients ($2,100) THE DESPERATION TEST: Ask: "How many hours per day on paperwork?" If they say 2+ hours = DESPERATE If they're hiring for it = EXTREMELY DESPERATE If they're complaining publicly = SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY REAL EXAMPLE: Found this Indeed post last month: "Admin Assistant - Data Entry Focus - $18/hour" Messaged business owner: "Saw you're hiring for data entry. What if I could eliminate that position entirely?" Response in 2 hours. Demo on Thursday. Closed Friday. $1,900 setup + $200/month. They saved $3,120/month. YOUR ACTION PLAN: 1. Pick ONE source above 2. Find 10 desperate businesses 3. Send the 9-word message 4. Report back here First to book a call gets my demo script. Who's hunting today?

Just sent out my first loom videos with personal demos of the invoice automation for some local businesses. Hopefully I will get some interest 🤞
