    I Work in UK Children's Care. The Paperwork Is Killing the Mission. So I'm Automating It.

    IDEA - AI - 
    Good idea. I worked in a behavioral health unit and there was an ungodly amount of paperwork that we had to fill out each shift. It does somewhat makes sense why, however. You want clear accountability standards and an ability to read summaries of the shift. In practicality, the paperwork grew...

    You needed to work 12+ hrs per day six days a week. And a seventh day after church. In terms of the volume, I logged 1200 pitches in a five day period. Keep in mind that this accounts for driving time and walking between businesses. So that's 240 pitches per day to different business owners in...

    @Andy Black Had a situation quite similar to how you got started fall into my lap. Buddy took over the wholesale operations for a coffee chain. He gets paid in residuals for the accounts. One of the biggest accounts is shifting. He needs more business to compensate. I put the ball into his...

    Full-time on my SaaS. Now scaling.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Good job. I did this. I did about 12 - 16 hours of direct sales conversations (in person) six days a week for about three months straight. At the end of this, my nervous system was shot. This cut down on overall productivity as there was a period where I had to physically recover. Now, I...

    Yep, done some light follow ups with them. Monday is when I launch the next phase of this project in earnest. Interest doesn't always equal a conversion but the network seems to be growing. I am not just sitting around watching TikTok. Taking some time to read and plan. Per @Richard Peck 's...

    Yes, the biggest lead would be a large pest control conglomerate. The head of sales gave me his phone number when I pitched him. Said to give him a call if I ever wanted to make some real money. The ol' fraternity needs some help with outbound. Many people disappear after graduation (myself...

    I've had businesses offer me work when I was going d2d. If you tell most business owners that you like doing sales, their ears seem to perk up.

    It is amazing how much progress you can make in a short amount of time if you do this. AI makes it even easier as you can ask the AI who are the top performers in your niche. And doing this is infinitely more satisfying than passively waiting for opportunity to knock on your door. You can knock...

    My favorite offer was helping people with their budgets for a fixed monthly fee. I can generally give clients a 10 to 1 return on their investment as they're making emotional decisions with their money rather than rational ones. Something like 70% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck...

    Interestingly enough, my first job out of uni was working for an EdTech company that built standardized tests. The tests were good enough that the students and teachers actually asked for MORE. It was hard to keep up with demand. In terms of monetizing it, there was a "build it and they'll...

    I started trying to sell stuff. Per the progress, the organization turned out to be a high volume organization with high churn. I made it three months before the tradeoffs of continuing would be too high. Would love to talk with @IceCreamKid about how I can filter these out in the future. That...

    The value that I get from the call is being able to see common bottlenecks and stopping points in myself and others. Then there is the psychological reinforcement that doing things like studying and reading up about business is a good thing. Then there is the benefit of emergent opportunities...

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Ended up pushing myself too hard last week for little gain. Was having fatigue symptoms set in while driving, which caused dangerous behavior. This, in turn, caused me to reflect. The game is to psychologically manipulate the sales force to sell as much as humanly possible through gamification...
