Mind if I share something that might help?" Message 2: The Value "I built a simple automation that handles exactly this. Takes about 10 minutes to set up. Want me to show you how it works?" Message 3: The Close "I can jump on a quick call Tuesday or Thursday to walk through it. Which works better?" Where to Send These: - Your existing LinkedIn connections - Facebook groups you're already in - Local business owners you know - Previous colleagues or clients Goal: 5 calls booked by end of week 2 WEEK 3: Demo and Close Your First Deal The Problem Calculator Framework: Step 1: "How many hours per week does your team spend on [manual task]?" Step 2: "What's the average hourly rate?" Step 3: "So that's costing you $[amount] per month..."
Don’t Sell “AI Resume Screening” — Sell This Instead 🔥
I would not pitch HR teams with: “I built an AI resume screening system.” That sounds risky. It makes people think: - AI rejecting candidates - hiring bias - legal problems - impersonal recruitment A better pitch is: “I help your team find the resumes worth reading first.” That feels much safer. Most HR teams do not have a hiring problem. They have a first-pass problem. One role can easily bring: - 100+ resumes - different PDF formats - missing contact details - unrelated candidates - good candidates buried in the middle The painful part is not choosing who to hire. The painful part is opening every file and scanning for the same details again and again. A simple workflow can help: Resume comes in n8n catches the file PDF Vector extracts key details Skills, experience, education, location, certifications The data goes into a review sheet The recruiter reviews the shortlist manually No automatic rejection. No “AI decides who gets hired.” Just a cleaner first pass. That positioning matters. Bad offer: “I can automate your hiring.” Better offer: “I can turn your resume pile into a structured review sheet so your team can review faster.” If you want to find HR clients, look for posts about: - “too many applicants” - “screening resumes” - “hiring is overwhelming” - “recruiter burnout” - “manual candidate review” Then message like this: “Saw your post about handling a high number of applicants. I’ve been testing a small workflow that turns resumes into a structured review sheet, without letting AI make the final hiring decision. Is first-pass screening a bottleneck for your team?” That is a much better conversation starter than selling an “AI hiring bot.” For sensitive industries, the winning angle is not replacement. It is better review. What process could you make faster without removing human judgment?
Ask This Before Building a Contract Automation Demo 🔥
Before you pitch contract automation, ask one question: “Do you know which contracts renew in the next 90 days?” If the answer is “let me check,” you may have found a real problem. Most companies do not have a contract problem because nobody has contracts. They have a contract problem because the important details are buried. Renewal date. Notice period. Price increase. Owner. Vendor name. Cancellation window. Those details sit inside PDFs, email threads, and shared folders until someone needs them urgently. So do not pitch this as: “I can automate contract management.” That sounds too big. Pitch the first useful slice: “I help teams build a simple renewal tracker from their existing contracts.” That is easier to understand. A good demo only needs 3 sample contracts. Show the before: Three agreements sitting in a folder. Show the after: One table with renewal dates, notice windows, vendor names, owners, and reminder status. No legal advice. No clause interpretation. Just the information the team already needs but does not want to search for manually. The best prospects are usually in operations, procurement, finance, office management, or legal ops. A simple conversation starter: “Quick question — do you track vendor renewal dates manually, or is there already a system for that?” If they say spreadsheet, ask who updates it. If they say calendar, ask how dates get added. If they say “we check when needed,” that is where the pain lives. Contract automation becomes attractive when it prevents expensive surprises. Do not sell the tool. Sell the missed-deadline problem. What deadline-heavy document would be painful for a company to forget?

Subscribed to 47 Newsletters. Read Maybe 3. Inbox Was a Graveyard. 🫢
Started subscribing to newsletters. Productivity tips. Parenting advice. Recipe roundups. Industry news. Local events. Good intentions. Terrible execution. THE NEWSLETTER GRAVEYARD 47 active subscriptions. Average 4 emails per week each. That's 188 emails weekly I was ignoring. "I'll read it later." Later never came. Just guilt scrolling past unread stacks. Occasionally something important buried in there. School fundraiser deadline. Recipe I actually wanted. Missed both because they drowned in the pile. Tried unsubscribing. Got through 12. Gave up. Life happened. THE CURATOR I BUILT All newsletters route to a separate folder. Workflow processes them daily. Extracts the actual content. Summarizes key points. Categorizes by topic. Daily digest: One email with summaries from everything. Organized by category. Links to full versions if I want more. Flags action items. Deadlines. Events. Things that need response. The rest? Summarized and archived. There if I need it. Not cluttering my inbox. THE INBOX SANITY Before: 188 weekly emails ignored, important things missed, constant guilt. After: One daily digest, action items highlighted, actually read the summaries. Discovered I only care about 8 of the 47 newsletters. Unsubscribed from the rest guilt-free because I could see I never clicked through to full articles. Those 8? I actually read now because they're not buried. Found out about a community event I would have missed. Was buried in a newsletter I hadn't opened in 3 weeks. The summarization isn't perfect on heavily formatted newsletters. Image-heavy ones lose context. But captures text-based content well. Inbox feels manageable again. I really want to share this json to everyone in this group What newsletters are you subscribed to that you never actually read?
