@basiclifestyles That's the right order. A missed call is money you already spent getting the phone to ring. Plug that leak first, then speed up the quote.
Small business owners don't need an AI strategy.
They need the phone answered when they're on a job, the quote sent the same day, and a text that goes out when somebody goes quiet.
Build that first. The fancy stuff can wait.
@CristianXIV Dark shingles in July is a different kind of humbling haha. If you can stay friendly on a hot roof after a full day of doors, nothing in business is gonna scare you.
@cyardley21 Mostly, yeah. The first no lands on you instead of on the offer. Took me a while to learn they were saying no to a stranger at their door, not to me. Once that clicks, the second knock gets easy.
@danmartell Came up knocking doors in the inner city. Nobody on those porches asked where I went to school. They asked if I'd still be around next month. Showing up beat smart every time.
Back on the doors, the sale was usually house two or three after the first "not now." The ones who came back got it.
Same with small businesses. Most customers aren't lost. They're waiting on you to follow up.
@andyfrisella Best door guys I knew weren't the loudest. They were the ones still smiling at house 60 with something to prove. That kind of hunger can't be taught.
@iamelijahbest Selling solar door to door while driving Uber is the part nobody sees on the highlight reel. Respect for that grind, and even more for bringing other vets up with you.
@Codie_Sanchez Knocking doors teaches this before any book does. You hear no all day until it stops being personal and starts being information. Every no made me sharper.
@AlexHormozi Most small businesses I talk to want AI on a step that shouldn't exist in the first place. Cut it first. Whatever survives the cut, that's what you automate.
First summer knocking doors, I took every no personally.
By the end, a no just told me something about the next house.
Building for small businesses works the same. The customer who says no is telling you what to fix.
@andyfrisella Came up knocking doors in the city. Nobody on those porches cared how hard my path was. They cared whether I showed up again the next day.
@Codie_Sanchez I knocked doors before I ever watched a business video. One week of real no's taught me more than a year of podcasts would have. Go get told no a few times, then the content actually makes sense.
