Hi everyone 😉 I’d really appreciate some input from those of you already selling AI systems / automations in practice. I’m positioning my offers around business outcomes (time saved, cost reduction, revenue impact) rather than tools, but I’ve been running into a few very practical challenges and wanted to hear how others handle them: 1.Before the call Many leads ask for a website, portfolio, or more information before agreeing to a discovery call. How do you usually handle this? - One-pager? - Simple landing page? - PDF? - Short Loom video? What tends to unblock the call without creating unnecessary extra work? 2. Perceived risk & recurring costs even when I clearly show ROI and operational impact, some clients are still hesitant about: platform fees…API usage, monthly costs So how do you frame these costs to reduce friction, especially when the solution feels “new” to the client? 1. closing & delivery Once a client agrees to move forward, what do you typically send? - Invoice + contract? - Scope document? - Clear inclusions + exclusions? I’m asking because I recently worked with a client where the scope wasn’t clearly defined upfront, and I ended up doing far more work than expected. I want to avoid repeating that mistake. I’m less interested in theory and more in real-world practices from people who’ve been through this. Thanks in advance… really appreciate any insights.

I'm 15 days of 30 in the game, did a recap for myself (week review & planning new week) and I read many posts & questions here regarding contacting clients, prospects, whatever reaching out to people. So, I want to tell you what I did, how it worked so far and if you have any questions how to translate it to your situation, let's talk 😊 What I did: Started 18 conversations with friends & family (details follow) Responded with pain points: 4 friends/sister with each 2+ cases, 1 friend with 1 big task plan Responded, need to clarify: 2 friends Responded with "no": 1 family (she's not working, will change work, will ask her again), 1 friend (too busy), 1 family, 1 friends Pending: 3 Other ones I need to check/involved in previous responses Whom I have contacted: Friend (NGO) -> gave pain points Friend (project manager in big company) -> gave pain points Friend (volunteer, leading translation Team) -> gave pain points Family (Children home, network marketing) -> gave pain points Friend (Head of School) -> gave pain points Friend (leading startup) -> open to discuss/call Friend (started a NGO, english teacher) -> clarify Friend (office of NGO) -> clarify Family (Accounting car sale) -> pending Friend (real estate owner) -> pending x2 Colleague (Expat coach) -> pending Family, receptionist at dentist (paused, will change work) -> ask later again Friend (CRM manager) -> no Family (Kindergarden) -> no Friends (social worker & doctor) -> no (ask again) Plan to monetize: None. Why? >> I'll take my sister as pilot user and let her talk to her peers and charge them. Will leverage this workflow for further family & friends in network marketing, self-employed, etc. hopefully before year-end tax time is coming and everybody gets... happy 😊 >> Support my friends in NGOs for free. I rather be able to support their mission than to charge them anything. Just my opinion. >> Big companies, complicated setups, etc.? I don't think about this yet. I rather get pain points, build something and not sell it (yet) than miss the opportunity.
