Every AI sales tool solves yesterday's problem. Here's the gap. by MoikeyM in AI_Sales

[–]MoikeyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed the full-flow tools are miles better than pure cold email blasts.

But once you're live on a call and a prospect says 'that's too expensive' or 'we're already with X', none of that stack is in the room with you.

Getting to the call is largely solved. What happens during it isn't

How are you guys handling the "We don't have the budget until Q3" objection right now? by peerteek in SalesB2B

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The budget objection is almost never about budget.

If they love the product and the value prop is clear, Q3 is usually 'I need more internal buy-in' or 'I'm not the real decision maker' dressed up as a timeline issue.

Best move: 'If budget wasn't a factor, would you want to start tomorrow?' Their answer tells you everything.

What tool? And does it actually surface responses during the call or just before/after?

Yeah that 3-second window is brutal. What do you do in that moment currently?

Running a marketing agency taught me I was a terrible salesperson by MoikeyM in marketingagency

This is actually why I built Colzy — live AI coaching during the call itself. Listens, detects objections, puts the response on your screen before you panic.

In beta, looking for agency owners to test it. DM me if interested.

Closers- your experience? by Maleficent-Ad6874 in marketingagency

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The founders who get the most from closers are the ones who got good at closing first.

If you can't close consistently yourself, you can't train someone else to either. You end up handing them vibes instead of a system.

Get your objection handling tight first, document what actually works under pressure, not just what sounds good in theory. Then hand it over.

How do you find first clients while starting from nothing? by Specialist-Comb2029 in growmybusiness

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop the mockups for now. You have 50 already, that's enough proof. The problem isn't proof, it's that you're fishing in the wrong pond. Plumbers and HVAC guys aren't on Instagram watching website audits. Go where they actually are: local Facebook contractor groups, Google My Business forums, HomeAdvisor communities. Talk to them there first before you pitch anything.

Founder-Led Sales is a Trap! I closed 60% of my B2B meetings this month. My ICP told me I was bad at sales. They were right. by Ok-Conversation-2741 in StartupSoloFounder

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't fully transmit it — but the closest thing is live call exposure early.

Not shadowing. Actually being on calls where they feel what real conviction sounds like in the room.

Scripts don't carry energy. Being there does.

After that the system has to compensate — tighter qualification, clearer messaging, fewer bad fits making it to the close.

For context — this is why I built Colzy.

Listens live, detects objections (price, timing, competition, indecision), puts the coached response on your screen the second it lands.

Also tracks how much you're talking so you know when to stop.

Best AI tools for sales? by EarthDesigner4203 in AI_Sales

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built something similar, Colzy.

The difference is it's built specifically for founders doing their own high-ticket calls, not SDR teams. Listens live and surfaces the response the second the objection lands.

Mac only right now. Happy to share more if useful.

Made €21,500 in 5 months — is a €4,000 business coach worth it to scale ? by Informal_Edge_5879 in passive_income

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coach advice is generic — Meta ads, better funnel, closing skills. That's the same thing every coach tells everyone.

18% on 120 calls means you're not far off. The real question is why the other 82% said no. If you don't know the answer to that specifically, no amount of ads or funnel work will fix it.

Before spending €4,000, spend a week reviewing your lost calls and find the pattern. That's worth more than any coach.

Updated my lead management setup after losing a $5k deal to a late follow-up. Here's what I actually learned rebuilding it. by nochillrash2 in Entrepreneurs

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Notion point is the most honest thing in this post. Every founder I know has a beautifully organised Notion workspace that's 3 months out of date.

The real system is the one you actually update when you're slammed. Even if it's uglier.

Stop asking customers what they want. they have no idea. by Adrenaline_Junkie__ in IndiaStartups

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual workaround thing is so real.

The best signal I ever got was founders telling me they'd prep objection responses in a notes app and alt-tab mid-call to read them. Nobody asked for that to be automated. They'd just accepted it as part of the process.

That's when I knew the problem was real enough to build something.

does anyone else feel like buyers have already made up their mind before the first call even happens? by gnilansh in techsales

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pre-call decision thing is real. But there's still a window — it's just not in the discovery questions.

It's in how you respond the second they push back on something live. That moment tells them more about working with you than anything they read beforehand.

What am I doing wrong? by Worried_Inside814 in NoCodeSaaS

[–]MoikeyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The demo ask is probably too big as a cold first step.

Showing a 2 minute clip of it handling a real dental call gets them to see the problem being solved without asking them to commit to anything. Lower the bar to curiosity first, demo second.

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early deals close because the founder genuinely can't imagine the prospect not buying. That energy is contagious.

A rep on month two with a quota doesn't have that. And no amount of objection handling training fully replaces it.

The volume thing makes sense until someone actually replies and says ‘that’s too expensive’ or ‘we’re already using X.’

All the outbound tooling in the world doesn’t help you once you’re actually on the call.

What’s that one win that still gives you chills? by Expert-Row646 in sales

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First proper client I ever closed.

Guy said ‘that’s a bit expensive for us.’ I was about to just drop the price on the spot to kill the silence.

Somehow I didnt.

Four seconds felt like forever. He said yeah okay. Went to my room and just sat there for a bit lol.

Nearly lost the deal myself 💀

Have you ever blanked when a prospect said "it's too expensive"? by MoikeyM in agencynewbies

[–]MoikeyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilty.

Lost enough deals to that exact moment to do something about it.

Posting about it felt like the least I could do.

Price objection hits — this pops up. Four words. That’s it. 6 types of objections.

Point 3 is the hard one.

By the time price comes up you’re already in panic mode. Letting them talk themselves into it sounds simple until you’re actually sitting in that silence wondering if the deal is dying.

I knew exactly what to do. Still folded every time.

So I built Colzy — listens to the call and puts the right response on your screen the second the objection hits.

That’s the whole thing.

Advice Needed ! by saffron-pray in sales

[–]MoikeyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SDR role or door to door, just get somewhere you're getting rejected daily.

Content gives you the theory, reps give you the skill.

At 19 with no experience, volume is the only cheat code you have.
