Client's previous developer ghosted after 3 months and $18k. Rebuilt everything in 11 minutes. He cried on the Zoom call. Not exaggerating about the crying part. THE SITUATION Email from a desperate business owner: "Developer disappeared" "Took $18k" "3 months of work" "Nothing works" "Business is dying" "Can you help?" This happens more than you think. THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Jumped on a call. Owner shared his screen. What I saw: - Broken n8n workflows (12 of them) - Half-finished integrations - No documentation - Passwords changed - Access locked out of everything The promise was: "Complete customer onboarding automation" The reality: Nothing worked. Business was manually processing everything. Burning 6 hours daily. Owner: "I paid $18k for this" His voice cracked. THE SCOPE What he actually needed: 1. New customer signs up 2. Send welcome email 3. Create account in system 4. Schedule onboarding call 5. Add to CRM 6. Notify team in Slack The developer spent 3 months on this. Built 12 "advanced" workflows. None of them functional. THE REBUILD Owner: "How long to fix this?" Me: "I'm not fixing it. I'm rebuilding it." Owner: "How long?" Me: "Give me 15 minutes" 10:23 AM - Opened Skada.ai Typed: "New customer signup triggers: welcome email, account creation, onboarding calendar booking, CRM entry, team Slack notification" Skada built it: - Signup webhook - Personalized welcome sequence - Account provisioning - Calendar integration - CRM sync - Slack notification with customer details 10:34 AM - Workflow complete Added 2 custom touches: - Owner's branding in emails - Specific Slack channel routing 10:36 AM - Testing done Everything worked. Total time: 11 minutes THE REVEAL Owner: "So when can you start?" Me: "It's done" Owner: "What's done?" Me: "Everything. Test it." Sent him the signup link. He filled it out. 5 seconds later: ✓ Welcome email arrived ✓ Account created ✓ Calendar invite sent ✓ CRM updated ✓ Slack notification posted Owner went silent.

I closed a $60K contract today at NeoSky AI for a client adding new voice agent products to work alongside their human agents. They didn’t want to add headcount, but also, didn’t want to lose valuable employees. So we’re upping the game with enhancing current team members, teaching them valuable AI skills, while incorporating an entire AI suite of products! I was already working with this company, but only charging per AI agent setup and support. However, the client needed to decrease the time-to-market, so we expanded our partnership. Stay the course everyone!
