Test my Voice AI for insurance agents
SCALINGMakes sense. Also, have you seen Hamming - Automated testing for Voice Agents ? They launched recently, their product is supposed to help with testing and fine tuning voice agents. I tried out their demo and it was pretty neat.- Chx

Test my Voice AI for insurance agents
SCALINGI tested it. I sold Final Expense a few years ago via cold calls so my feedback would be: - opener is exactly what I used to do... "hey is this NAME?" - I didn't love how it handled "not interested". It said "ok, what would be a better time to chat then?" vs. as an agent I would have said...- Chx

Michia Rohrssen (Co-Founder of Prodigy Software, sold to Upstart for ~$110m)
GURUSAwesome you were able to connect with him. Here’s a question that’s top of mind for me, if you could send it to him: In a recent video you (Michia) suggested spending 2-3 months on the idea/market before starting the business. If you were to start a new software company from 0, what...- Chx

Michia Rohrssen (Co-Founder of Prodigy Software, sold to Upstart for ~$110m)
GURUSGot some snippets from an archive of his website. IMO, this is a masterclass in value skew. He didn't make the next Facebook or ChatGPT, he's just helping car dealerships make a bunch of money and save a bunch of headaches, and made $110M doing so.- Chx

If Steve Jobs were to cold call...
MARKETINGSteve Jobs would never cold call random numbers. It's extremely low leverage. There are much faster ways to get the customer conversations you are after. You said you do web design?

20 Years Old -- Scaling to $20k/mo
MARKETING EXECUTIONThe way I see it, if I do a ton of fulfillment upfront, say in the first 2-3 months, I'll be much better equipped to train my web designer, copywriter, and whatever other roles are needed to replace me in the business, versus if I outsource immediately. If it gets out of hand I can take time off...- Chx

Starting a web design and hosting agency, need some advice
SIDE HUSTLEYou'll learn a ton if you ignore me and just rip it with your current plan but I do see one issue, "I will target small businesses with lackluster, outdated websites." Small biz with shit sites most likely (A) don't care about their website and (B) don't have the budget to pay you to remake...- Chx
