WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.359 So you've probably been hearing all this buzz 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:05.080 about making real money with AI agents. Looking 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:06.879 good everywhere. And maybe you're thinking, is 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.519 this just another tech fantasy? Well, Prepare 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.119 to have that idea flipped. Because it's not fantasy. 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.460 People are already doing this. Exactly. We're 00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:19.039 talking significant income, like over a thousand 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.039 dollars a day for some, consistent two grand 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.059 a week for others. And the really interesting 00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:26.620 part. Yeah. You don't need to be some coding 00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:28.440 wizard. You don't even really need to know what 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.019 an AI agent is right now to get started. Seriously, 00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.500 it's not just hype. No. The barrier to entry 00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:37.119 has just dropped like massively. This isn't theory. 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.479 It's a A practical way to build a revenue stream, 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.460 like right now. Right. So for you listening, 00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:46.299 think of this deep dive as your shortcut, your 00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:48.560 fast track. We're going to unpack what these 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.240 AI agents actually are. Then we'll walk you through 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.100 building one step by step. A practical one, something 00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:57.679 businesses actually need. Yes. And then the crucial 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.420 bit, how to take that thing you built and turn 00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:03.500 it into actual money by selling it to businesses. 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.340 Clear, actionable insights. That's the goal. 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.900 No fluff. No overwhelm. And I think, honestly, 00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:12.420 there are some things we'll cover that might 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:14.819 genuinely surprise you. OK, so let's start with 00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:20.879 the basics. What is an AI agent? Because it's 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.000 quite different from how most people use AI today. 00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:26.459 Good point. Let's break that down. Most of us 00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:29.519 know tools like, say, chat GPT, right? Sure. 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.980 Very common. You type a question, get an answer, 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.620 type another prompt, guide it along. It's a back 00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:37.879 and forth. You're always driving. Right. Constant 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.700 guidance. That's the key difference. An AI agent, 00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:45.099 it sort of eliminates that need. How so? Think 00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:47.640 of it less like a chatbot and more like a junior 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.379 team member you can delegate a whole project 00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:51.400 to. OK. You give it a high level goal, and it 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.359 figures out the steps needed to get there on 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.799 its own. It can sort of think through problems. 00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:58.599 Ah, so instead of me saying, OK, AI, this file's 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.140 too big, now split it. Now transcribe this bit, 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.040 now put them back together. Exactly. The agent 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.700 would just see the big file and go, okay, needs 00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:08.159 splitting, transcribing, merging, done. No step 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.800 -by -step from you. Executes. Precisely. And 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.280 that autonomy. That makes them incredibly powerful 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.599 for businesses. I can see that. What kind of 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.560 tasks are we talking about? Oh, a huge range. 00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:20.159 Stuff that normally chews up tons of human time, 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.030 like... Reading and analyzing customer reviews 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.710 from all over the web scanning websites for specific 00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:29.590 data points for reports Automatically drafting 00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:33.650 email replies scheduling meetings managing calendars 00:02:33.650 --> 00:02:36.789 Monitoring competitor websites for price changes 00:02:36.789 --> 00:02:40.370 generating say weekly business intelligence reports 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:43.569 Stuff owners want but rarely have time for that 00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:47.060 saves hours easily hours upon hours and it gets 00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:49.800 even more interesting because different agents 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.259 can actually work together like a team exactly 00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:55.560 like a team imagine a customer service agent 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.719 handling the first contact passing it to a billing 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.080 agent if needed or maybe a tech support agent 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.340 for tricky stuff all happening behind the scenes 00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:04.539 yeah communicating collaborating like a human 00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:08.680 team but you know 24 7 tirelessly it creates 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.699 a seamless experience so this is the core opportunity 00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:14.650 then it's like having this digital workforce 00:03:14.650 --> 00:03:17.409 that never sleeps, never takes breaks, handles 00:03:17.409 --> 00:03:20.250 loads of tasks at once. And always on team, ready 00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:22.569 to go. It's a massive opportunity. Okay, let's 00:03:22.569 --> 00:03:24.550 make this real. Let's actually build one right 00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:26.949 here, right now, conceptually. Let's do it. We'll 00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:29.770 create something with immediate, like, undeniable 00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:33.129 value. We'll call it a Smart Competitor Analyzer. 00:03:33.189 --> 00:03:35.409 Okay, I like it. What does it do? It monitors 00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:37.870 competitor websites and sends detailed weekly 00:03:37.870 --> 00:03:40.210 reports straight to your client's email. Ah, 00:03:40.210 --> 00:03:42.490 that's smart. Every business wants that intel. 00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:46.310 Right. But who has the time to check five competitor 00:03:46.310 --> 00:03:49.849 sites every single day? Nobody. The value proposition 00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:52.610 there is crystal clear. It's not a nice -to -have. 00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:56.009 It's critical info, automated. That's the hook. 00:03:56.229 --> 00:03:58.810 So step one to make this happen, the platform. 00:03:58.969 --> 00:04:01.370 We've looked at a bunch. And honestly, Mind Studio 00:04:01.370 --> 00:04:03.870 is the way to go for beginners. Why Mind Studio? 00:04:04.050 --> 00:04:07.409 It's super user -friendly, no coding needed at 00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:10.780 all. And, uh... It's free to get started. You 00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:13.439 just need Google Chrome and their Chrome extension. 00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.579 OK. That extension lets the agent see websites. 00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:19.500 Pretty much, yeah. It allows it to interact and 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.379 read the page content. It really lowers that 00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.300 technical barrier. Good. So less tech hassle, 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:28.500 more focus on the actual job you want the agent 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:30.420 to do. Exactly. So once I've got that extension, 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.060 you go into Mind Studio, find the Build section, 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.600 click Create New Agent. Simple. And we're calling 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.889 it? Smart competitor analyzer. Just for clarity. 00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:43.050 Then you set the trigger. That's what kicks the 00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.230 agent into action. Right. What tells it go time? 00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.009 For testing, you'll pick browser extension. That 00:04:48.009 --> 00:04:50.310 means you click a button on a web page to start 00:04:50.310 --> 00:04:52.689 it manually. OK, manual first. Yeah. But we'll 00:04:52.689 --> 00:04:54.910 change that later to a schedule. Make it fully 00:04:54.910 --> 00:04:57.550 automatic. Got it. Like programming its basic 00:04:57.550 --> 00:05:01.149 reflexes first. Kind of. Yeah. Now, the important 00:05:01.149 --> 00:05:05.089 part, the instructions. the agent's brain. Okay. 00:05:05.149 --> 00:05:07.009 How do we do that without coding? This is where 00:05:07.009 --> 00:05:09.329 you use AI to build AI. It's pretty cool. Open 00:05:09.329 --> 00:05:12.529 up ChatGPT in another tab and type in this exact 00:05:12.529 --> 00:05:15.860 prompt. I want to build an AI agent with Mind 00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:18.860 Studio to monitor competitors' websites, track 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:21.339 changes in pricing and descriptions, and deliver 00:05:21.339 --> 00:05:24.560 a report to my inbox each week. Write me a detailed 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.019 prompt to put into Mind Studio. Huh. So you get 00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:30.459 ChatGPT to write the complex instructions for 00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:32.819 you. Exactly. It's a massive shortcut. You don't 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.160 need to be a prompt genius yourself. That's clever. 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.160 Leverage the AI. So ChatGPT spits out this detailed 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.600 prompt. You copy that whole thing, paste it straight 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.480 into the instruction box in Mind Studio, then 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.040 right at the very end, type two curly brackets, 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.800 and a drop down menu appears. Select page content 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.589 that tells the agent, hey. Focus on the stuff 00:05:54.589 --> 00:05:56.670 on this web page. Got it. Analyze what's on the 00:05:56.670 --> 00:05:59.310 page. Then output settings. For now, set it to 00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:02.370 display to user and format as text. We'll change 00:06:02.370 --> 00:06:04.430 this later, too. And the AI model? Does that 00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:07.389 matter? Yeah, a bit. We recommend Claude 3 .5 00:06:07.389 --> 00:06:10.709 Haiku. It's fast, accurate enough for this, and 00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:13.029 really cost effective. Keeps potential running 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:15.670 costs low. Good tip. Speed and cross matter. 00:06:15.970 --> 00:06:19.670 OK. Agent's brain is set. Now for the fun part, 00:06:19.670 --> 00:06:22.610 testing. Seeing it actually work. The aha moment. 00:06:22.689 --> 00:06:26.319 Totally. Go to any business website, a local 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.220 restaurant, mechanic, gym, whatever. Click the 00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:31.980 Mind Studio icon in your browser. The extension 00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:35.040 we installed earlier. Yep. Select your Smart 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.139 Competitor Analyzer and just watch. What happens 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:40.800 then? In moments, it'll read the site, figure 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.879 out who the competitors likely are, go look at 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.399 their sites, compare offerings, pricing, how 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.160 they talk about themselves. And then it generates 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.560 this detailed report, actionable insights tailored 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.759 to the business whose site you started on. And 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.100 this takes minutes. Literally minutes. But the 00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:00.480 report, it spits out. That would take a business 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.019 owner hours to do manually. That's the surprising 00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.620 power. Cutting down maybe 20 hours of research 00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.339 a month. That's not just saving money, it's creating 00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:10.379 time. It really is impressive when you see it. 00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:12.100 OK, but we need it fully automated for the client, 00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:14.459 right? Hands off. Right. Set and forget. So back 00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:17.060 into Mind Studio settings, change the output 00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:20.519 from display to user to save to variable. Call 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.560 the variable something like competitor analysis. 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.519 Then add an email block. Ah, so it emails the 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.879 report. Exactly. Put your client's email address 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.800 in there. Give it a clear subject like weekly 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.199 competitor analysis report. Nice. Consistent 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.399 delivery. They just get the insights. Now the 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.560 final automation step, the schedule. Go back 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.199 to the trigger setting. Change it from browser 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.360 extension. To scheduled. Click add, set your 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.100 schedule. Like every Monday at 9 a .m. click 00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:51.839 generate schedule. Okay, almost there. One crucial 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.199 last bit. you need to add a scrape URL block 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.480 right before the instructions block. What's that 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.339 for? That tells the agent which specific websites 00:08:00.339 --> 00:08:02.879 to visit automatically each week. It's like giving 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.680 it the list of addresses. Makes it truly hands 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.620 -off. Got it. Tells it where to go look. Once 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.120 that's all set, you hit publish, and boom, congratulations. 00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:13.680 You've built a fully automated AI agent ready 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.879 to deliver value. Which brings us to the big 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.620 question. You've built this amazing tool. How 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:22.600 do you actually turn it into, you know... Money, 00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:25.040 consistent income. Yeah, that's the million dollar 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.779 question or maybe the two thousand dollar a week 00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:30.339 question. Building it is step one. Selling the 00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:32.679 service is where the real business is. Selling 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.039 it to businesses who desperately need this but 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.179 don't have the time or, frankly, the know how. 00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:40.779 Exactly. Your ideal customers. Pretty much any 00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:43.460 local business that has direct competitors, which 00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:46.679 is most of them. Oh, absolutely. The potential 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.679 market is huge. Think about it. Your local restaurant. 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.519 They need to know if the place across the street 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.320 just launched a new menu or a two -for -one deal. 00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:57.220 Or a dentist. Are competitors offering cheap 00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:59.720 or whitening? Are patient reviews trending up 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.659 or down? Auto repair shops? What are others charging 00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:06.169 for an oil change? gyms, membership prices, new 00:09:06.169 --> 00:09:09.309 classes, real estate agents, competitor listings, 00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:12.870 marketing tactics. These owners are usually swamped 00:09:12.870 --> 00:09:14.490 just running the day to day. They don't have 00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.549 hours for this kind of deep dive research. Which 00:09:16.549 --> 00:09:19.309 is where your AI agent becomes their secret weapon. 00:09:19.990 --> 00:09:22.789 Valuable Intel, zero extra work for them, a clear 00:09:22.789 --> 00:09:25.230 ROI. Okay, so pricing. That's always tricky. 00:09:25.309 --> 00:09:28.049 What's reasonable here? Based on the value, easily 00:09:28.049 --> 00:09:30.950 $200 to $500 a month. Small businesses will pay 00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:32.990 for this. Here's a simple structure you could 00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:36.090 start with. Lay it out. Basic package, maybe 00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:39.490 $200 a month. Weekly reports on, say, three to 00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:43.110 five competitors. Standard package, $350 a month. 00:09:43.549 --> 00:09:46.029 Let's say biweekly reports, but on five to eight 00:09:46.029 --> 00:09:48.450 competitors, plus maybe a monthly summary of 00:09:48.450 --> 00:09:51.429 trends.

That tiered 00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:02.429 approach makes sense. Different needs, different 00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:05.049 budgets. And think about the numbers. Just 10 00:10:05.049 --> 00:10:08.909 clients on that standard $350 package. That's 00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:12.649 $3 ,500 a month. Which is around $875 a week. 00:10:12.769 --> 00:10:15.629 Nice.

But key tip, 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.179 don't go in selling hard immediately. Right. 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.899 Build rapport first. Yeah. Offer value. Hey, 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.679 I've been playing with a new AI tool that tracks 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.960 local competitors. I'd love to show you what 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.080 I found about yours this week. Can I send you 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.840 a quick sample report by Friday? Again, leading 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.919 with value. Free sample. Smart. Once someone 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.000 shows interest, offer a free two -week trial. 00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:14.700 Let them experience the reports arriving automatically. 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.779 Let the value sell itself. Precisely. Then on 00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:20.139 your follow -up call or email. So over the last 00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:21.940 two weeks, you got reports that probably saved 00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.740 you, what, three, four hours of manual digging. 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.399 At your hourly rate, the service basically pays 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.539 for itself in time savings, right? Not even counting 00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:30.940 the competitive edge. Framing it as an investment, 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.500 not just another bill. Highlighting that ROI. 00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:35.600 Makes the decision much easier for them. OK, 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.860 so you've landed a few clients. Things were working. 00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:41.610 Now what? Time to think bigger. Scaling up. Moving 00:12:41.610 --> 00:12:44.370 from a side hustle to a real business. Yes. This 00:12:44.370 --> 00:12:46.929 is where you build serious, sustainable income. 00:12:46.990 --> 00:12:48.789 How do you do that? Just find more clients for 00:12:48.789 --> 00:12:50.889 the same service. That's part of it. But also, 00:12:51.090 --> 00:12:54.490 expand your menu. Ask Chat GPT again. Give me 00:12:54.490 --> 00:12:57.029 more ideas for AI agents I can sell to small 00:12:57.029 --> 00:13:00.600 businesses using Mind Studio. Ah. back to the 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.379 AI for ideas, what kind of things might it suggest? 00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:06.720 Oh, loads. A customer review monitor pulls reviews 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.379 from Google, Yelp, et cetera, alerts the owner. 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.840 A social media analyzer tracks competitor social 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.720 activity. A price change tracker for specific 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.399 products. OK, those are useful. A content idea 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.840 generator based on industry trends. A lead qualification 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.779 agent for website forms. An appointment scheduler. 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.940 An FAQ responder for common website questions. 00:13:28.250 --> 00:13:31.029 Wow, okay. Each of those solves a different problem 00:13:31.029 --> 00:13:33.889 for a business. Exactly. Each one is a potential 00:13:33.889 --> 00:13:36.210 new service, a new revenue stream you can offer. 00:13:36.289 --> 00:13:38.850 If you're not just the competitor analysis person, 00:13:39.289 --> 00:13:41.769 you become the AI automation solution person. 00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:44.210 Precisely. And then you can bundle these, create 00:13:44.210 --> 00:13:46.909 package deals. Ah, like a combo meal. Kinda. 00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:50.309 Imagine a business intelligence package. $800 00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:53.789 month includes weekly competitor analysis, monthly 00:13:53.789 --> 00:13:56.490 review monitoring, maybe bi -weekly social media 00:13:56.490 --> 00:13:59.549 reports, and price change alerts. More value, 00:14:00.149 --> 00:14:02.250 higher ticket price. Or a customer experience 00:14:02.250 --> 00:14:05.669 package. Yeah, maybe 600 month. Automated FAQ 00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:08.210 responses, review monitoring, maybe routing customer 00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:10.730 inquiries, appointment scheduling help. That 00:14:10.730 --> 00:14:12.909 shifts the whole conversation. You're selling 00:14:12.909 --> 00:14:15.350 a comprehensive solution, not just one tool. 00:14:16.170 --> 00:14:18.669 justifies the higher price. And the beauty here 00:14:18.669 --> 00:14:22.090 is recurring revenue. These agents provide ongoing 00:14:22.090 --> 00:14:24.929 value month after month. So focus on monthly 00:14:24.929 --> 00:14:27.470 contracts. Auto -renew. Definitely. Or offer 00:14:27.470 --> 00:14:29.929 a slight discount for annual contracts. Locks 00:14:29.929 --> 00:14:32.490 them in. Improves your cash flow. And always 00:14:32.490 --> 00:14:34.889 look for upsell opportunities with existing happy 00:14:34.889 --> 00:14:37.029 clients. Hey, you love the competitor reports. 00:14:37.169 --> 00:14:38.750 How about we automate your review monitoring 00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:41.610 too? Exactly. And don't forget referrals. Offer 00:14:41.610 --> 00:14:44.029 clients an incentive if they refer another business 00:14:44.029 --> 00:14:47.240 that signs up. as you grow though. Things can 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.720 get messy, right? Managing more clients, more 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.120 agents? They can, which is why systematizing 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.519 is crucial. You need processes. A standard client 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.679 onboarding checklist or template. Quality control 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.039 steps. Maybe you spot check reports periodically. 00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:04.659 An FAQ doc or quick video tutorials for common 00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:07.779 client questions. Using proper billing tools 00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:10.580 like Stripe or PayPal for automated invoicing. 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.919 Billing the infrastructure for growth, not just 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.259 winging it. Yeah, it lets you scale without everything 00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:17.919 falling apart or burning you out. No. What if 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.120 someone listening is thinking, this sounds great, 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.320 but direct sales, networking, not really my thing. 00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:26.220 Yeah, the introvert -friendly angle. Are there 00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:29.759 options? Absolutely. Good news is, yes. The value 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.379 is strong enough you don't have to be a hard 00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:34.019 -charging salesperson. OK. Like what? One approach. 00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:37.179 Content marketing. Attract businesses to you. 00:15:37.179 --> 00:15:39.659 How does that work? Create genuinely useful content. 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.519 Blog posts, why manual competitor tracking is 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.919 killing your business, YouTube videos, watch 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.460 me set up an AI agent to monitor prices in five 00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:50.279 minutes, social media tips, maybe even offer 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.860 a simple free checker tool on your website. So 00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:55.179 you become the trusted authority and leads come 00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:58.179 to you already interested. Exactly. It's a longer 00:15:58.179 --> 00:16:01.759 game, but less direct selling. Another option, 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.019 partnerships. Partnering with who? Other businesses 00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:08.250 that already serve your target market. web designers, 00:16:08.610 --> 00:16:11.289 marketing agencies, business consultants, maybe 00:16:11.289 --> 00:16:14.250 even accountants or lawyers. Ah, so they offer 00:16:14.250 --> 00:16:17.110 your service to their clients. Yep. They leverage 00:16:17.110 --> 00:16:19.950 their existing relationship and trust. You get 00:16:19.950 --> 00:16:22.070 access to clients without direct outreach. Maybe 00:16:22.070 --> 00:16:24.190 offer them a referral fee or commission. That's 00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:26.629 smart. Piggybacking on existing trust. And one 00:16:26.629 --> 00:16:30.200 more, a bit more advanced. A SaaS -style platform. 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.980 SaaS software as a service. Yeah. Instead of 00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:35.419 you building custom agents for each client, you 00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:37.600 build a platform where businesses can log in, 00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:40.120 input their own competitor URLs, and configure 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.279 their monitoring themselves. Self -serve. Ooh, 00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:45.580 that sounds scalable. More upfront work, though. 00:16:45.769 --> 00:16:47.909 Definitely more upfront work, but potentially 00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:50.250 much larger scale with less ongoing effort per 00:16:50.250 --> 00:16:52.789 client once it's built. Okay, regardless of the 00:16:52.789 --> 00:16:54.730 approach, you need to track if things are actually 00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:57.509 working, measuring success. Right. You need metrics? 00:16:57.889 --> 00:16:59.570 Yeah. What should people be looking at? On the 00:16:59.570 --> 00:17:03.769 money side. MRR, monthly recurring revenue. Your 00:17:03.769 --> 00:17:07.630 predictable income baseline. CLV customer lifetime 00:17:07.630 --> 00:17:10.710 value. How much is each client worth over time? 00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:13.630 CAC customer acquisition cost. How much does 00:17:13.630 --> 00:17:16.569 it cost you to get a new client? And churn rate, 00:17:16.630 --> 00:17:18.390 what percentage of clients are leaving? Keeping 00:17:18.390 --> 00:17:20.710 an eye on the financials is key. What about the 00:17:20.710 --> 00:17:23.609 operational side? Good point. Agent uptime, are 00:17:23.609 --> 00:17:26.430 they running reliably? Report quality, are clients 00:17:26.430 --> 00:17:29.150 happy with the insights? You can ask them. Response 00:17:29.150 --> 00:17:31.230 time, how quickly do you handle client questions? 00:17:31.569 --> 00:17:33.769 And maybe utilization rate, how much of your 00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:36.200 agent capacity is actively making you money. 00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:38.400 Tracking those helps you spot problems and optimize. 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:40.759 So let's talk growth targets. What's a realistic 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.779 timeline? OK, rough roadmap. Months one to two. 00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.420 Build and really test that first agent. Aim for 00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:48.599 maybe two or three pilot clients, maybe at a 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.880 discount for feedback. Get proven concepts. Months 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.130 three, four. Refine your process based on feedback. 00:17:53.289 --> 00:17:56.210 Scale up outreach. Aim for, say, 8 to 10 paying 00:17:56.210 --> 00:17:58.410 clients. Start building momentum. Month 5 -6. 00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:00.549 Focus on those systems we talked about. Onboarding, 00:18:00.890 --> 00:18:03.710 billing. Aim for 15 -20 clients. Solidify the 00:18:03.710 --> 00:18:06.789 foundation. Month 7 -12. Start expanding your 00:18:06.789 --> 00:18:09.230 services. Offer that review monitor or social 00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:12.349 tracker. Grow your client base towards 25 -40 00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:14.660 clients. And the income potential there. Let's 00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:18.359 revisit that. 30 clients average $350 a month 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.900 each. That's $10 ,500 a month. Which is about 00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:26.099 $2 ,625 a week. Comfortably past that initial 00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:28.759 $2K goal. The numbers really do add up if you're 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.740 consistent and provide value. Okay, this has 00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:33.140 been incredibly insightful. But knowledge isn't 00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:35.480 enough. Nope. Knowledge without action doesn't 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.000 pay the bills. So let's give you, the listener, 00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:40.869 a direct step -by -step action plan. Things you 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:43.470 can do right now. A clear roadmap. Turn insight 00:18:43.470 --> 00:18:45.309 into action. All right. This week, first thing, 00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:47.630 go sign up for Mind Studio. Install that Chrome 00:18:47.630 --> 00:18:49.890 extension. It's free. It takes minutes. Step 00:18:49.890 --> 00:18:52.309 one. Then follow the steps we outlined. Build 00:18:52.309 --> 00:18:55.250 that first smart competitor analyzer agent. Test 00:18:55.250 --> 00:18:57.430 it. Seriously, point it at three or four local 00:18:57.430 --> 00:18:59.970 business websites. See it work. Get that aha 00:18:59.970 --> 00:19:02.839 moment yourself. Then, record that quick demo 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.579 video using Loom. Write out your first draft 00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:08.180 of that outreach email template. And finally, 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.099 research 10 local businesses in your area that 00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:13.819 look like good potential fits.
