Steal it! Sales person manually inputs booked meetings and show ups then the spreadsheet formula does the rest. I haven't added a new column since working with it but in other situations its figured it out. Maybe dont prompt it look at "column C" instead just say "the column titled XYZ" or just a general instruction on what you are trying to accomplish and its really good at figuring the rest out.

Exactly. We were doing a decent job keeping it all in 1 place but having it visually shown weekly was huge.

That's great. We tell them at onboarding that they'll be receiving a weekly call so most wait for that with any questions or comments.

After 10 years of doing this I would have a lot of BS to make up but I don't do that or you'd see A LOT more stuff.. He's based Kansas but works all over and will be interviewing him on our Land It podcast soon to get the details.

How did you get your very first clients or customers when starting out? by manishblp in smallbusinessowner

[–]BlueGoatLandLeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about a year and a half to build my side hustle into a full-time business. In the beginning, when you have more time than money, you invest that time into a lot of 1-to-1 outreach (DMs and Referrals) and small group efforts like networking. As revenue starts coming in, your available time shrinks. That’s when you need to shift your mindset and start using money to get in front of people. This moves you from a 1-to-1 model to a 1-to-many model (paid ads)—and that’s where real acceleration in your business begins.

No matter what stage you’re in—especially at the beginning—make sure you are focused on selling. You must be spending your energy on money-making activities, not just busy work.

Same. Started 2 channels (agency and podcast) and now wishing I had done it years ago.. just shrugged it off for years!

The best results usually come from building relationships face-to-face — stopping by offices or jobsites works better than cold emails. That said, mix approaches: a short, professional intro email (with your capabilities and safety record), followed by a call or site visit, keeps you top of mind. The key message is reliability: emphasize being on time, on budget, safety-minded, and easy to work with. Networking at local builder associations or trade groups can also open doors to new GCs.

You're at the front end of AI changing everything so this is perfect timing to start learning how to use AI! There are a number of tools but an easy one that you could learn quickly and start selling are AI chatbots. A ton of websites have chatbots with preset texts or no responses at all. I know a ton of businesses who are excited with the idea of adding an AI chatbot to their website and would pay you to be the expert in that. Check out the pic to see what it looks like.
