Hi I am Brian from Richards Bay, South Africa.

I work full-time as a chemical plant operator and I’m building a local service business on the side called 1Click Pro.

Goal:
Earn money outside of work, build skills that aren’t tied to my job, and buy myself more freedom and choices.

1. The Problem I’m Trying To Solve

Local businesses in my area — auto workshops, truck repair shops, diesel mechanics, and towing companies mostly:

Don’t have a website

Have weak or messy Google Business Profiles

Rely only on word of mouth and Facebook posts

Get calls/WhatsApp enquiries randomly, not consistently


Most of their customers already use WhatsApp + Google Maps.
When someone breaks down or needs a mechanic, they Google:

“mechanic near me”



…click a listing, and then call or WhatsApp.

And most of these businesses already use WhatsApp as their main point of contact.
There’s a clear gap between what customers want and what these businesses present online.

My solution:
Create simple WhatsApp-based websites — clean 1-page Google Sites pages linked directly to WhatsApp.
Fast to build, low-cost, zero maintenance, and directly built around how customers already behave.

2. My Product / Offer

Starter Growth Pack – R3,000 once-off

1-page WhatsApp-first website (Google Sites)

Google Business Profile cleanup & optimisation

Basic analytics (call & WhatsApp click tracking)

1 ad creative they can use on Facebook/WhatsApp


Optional Care Plan – R399/month

Monthly updates to site, GBP, and ads

Ongoing tweaks based on what’s working


Positioning:

I help workshops & truck repair shops get more WhatsApp enquiries using a simple 1-page site and a cleaned-up Google listing.


3. What I’ve Done So Far

Being honest:

Built a working demo site for an auto shop / truck repair workshop

Created basic branding for 1Click Pro

Wrote and tested WhatsApp outreach messages

Started cold outreach to local workshops using WhatsApp Business

Met one business owner I knew (not the right timing)

Built a demo for another owner I know — he didn’t reply, I followed up, still no response

No clients yet

No meetings booked yet


Right now I’m stuck between building the product and doing outreach, with too much time spent preparing and not enough time closing.

4. My Plan To Land Client #1

I’m keeping it simple now: take action, message businesses, book conversations, and get into real feedback loops.

Outreach Plan (WhatsApp → Meeting)

Since I work full-time, walk-ins are difficult.
So I’m starting with WhatsApp outreach first, and if they show interest, I try to book a call or meet after work.

My current opener:

> “Howsit, I’m Brian in Richards Bay.
I help workshops get more WhatsApp enquiries by fixing their Google listing and adding a simple 1-page WhatsApp website.
Can I show you a quick example for your business?”



If they say yes → I send the demo and ask some SPIN questions about their leads and pain points.
If it makes sense → I offer a quick call or meeting after hours.

Closing Strategy

For the first client:

Option 1: Charge full R3,000

Option 2: Intro price R1,500–R2,000 in exchange for:

Full case study

Testimonial

2–3 referrals



I’m open to feedback on whether working for free makes sense for client #1 — or if there are better ways to pull them in.


5. What I Want Feedback On

1. Offer / Product

Does this solve a real enough pain for workshops/tow trucks?

Is R3,000 right for South Africa or should I adjust?

Is the offer too simple or too complicated?


2. Execution / Focus

What should I stop doing?

What should I focus on this week to get one paying client?

What would you do with limited time (shift work)?


3. Outreach

Is my WhatsApp opener strong or weak?

How would you approach owners in this niche?

Start with WhatsApp, cold calls, or walk-ins?

This is the demo site I built


Thanks in advance.
