Quick win from a recent project. Client onboarding used to take ~1 hr, now down to 5 mins for a commercial real estate company. Systems matter more than people think.

Stop building automations around guesswork. Build around one repeated action. Example: When a lead books a call in GoHighLevel: - add to Airtable - send Slack alert - create Notion task - tag source - start follow-up if no-show That one flow removes 5 manual steps. It's as basic as it can get

68% of small businesses now use AI. My guess? 99% are using it completely wrong. I've used AI to make my $8M/year business $80k+ in the last 90 days. Here are 10 things I'd immediately automate in your business to save $50k+/year:

We fixed a broken workflow in 20 mins, for an e-comm agency It was causing 14 missed task assignments a week. Simple issue: No approval step before build. So we changed the process: 1. map the exact trigger 2. define the owner 3. confirm the output 4. only then build in n8n Fewer revisions. 4. only then build in n8n, Fewer revisions. ems, Want the approval checklist?

@AbhinavXJ Cool, was this from any event?

25000 usd in credits that includes > 10,000 usd in AWS > 10,000 usd in Azure > 12 months cursor pro > claude code and much more What a time to live in thanks yc

The ones who adapt won't just survive this.. they'll clean up. The question is which side of that line you're on.

@rxhit05 Passion for product is seen in marketing. If you spend all your time building it, how will u market it?

If your entire product is made by claude then how will you have passion for your product?

Here, the client reached out this morning, saying that "I used up all my limit till Friday with Claude in just one presentation of 10 slides. - Am I doing something wrong?" Short answer: yes. Not the tool. The usage. We fixed it by: - optimising prompts in a structure, giving it smaller steps but less number of prompts in the chat - removing repeated context - using the right model for the task - Also, turn of research and web search for the tasks that don't require it Same output. ~30% less usage

All this is using mostly free API's btw

How many of you are vibe prospecting using Claude code, it's f insane! Does all the work and puts it together in Notion for my review

Comment here if you want to know how I'm doing it

Before building anything, I look for one thing Where is time getting blocked? One client was losing ~10–15 hrs/week waiting on manual steps That’s ~$1K–$2K/month in wasted time We fixed that first

@ocadefusion Yeah no polling throughout the flow

@Manavv2305 Solid pattern. Pro tip: pair the Google Drive node (Create Folder operation) with a Google Drive Trigger on that folder. Any file dropped triggers the next step automatically. No polling needed.

Here's the simplest client onboarding flow one can build in n8n: 1. New client pays 2. n8n creates their folder in Google Drive 3. Airtable adds them to the client board 4. Slack posts the handoff 5. Typeform sends the intake form 6. GoHighLevel starts the welcome sequence. That removes 20–30 mins per client min. Want me help you with the n8n template?

@NickAbraham12 Looks like you’re giving away the $100 in the email itself

$100 to anyone who can guess why this campaign got a 10% reply rate and 60% interested reply rate - not a reengagement campaign (have never hit up these leads ever prior and they have zero clue who I am) - not using any signals or clay personalization Drop an answer 👇

@pmitu prolly claude will

So, who's building a LinkedIn replacement?

I know I repost about Claude A LOT, but they’re after everyone now

Reply with what's the biggest time sink for your team

In the last couple of Audits we've done, we've idenitfied only 1 thing. Everyone who claims things are busy, they actually aren't. It's just scattered. The real problem is most teams are switching between: Gmail, Slack, Notion, Airtable, GoHighLevel and 17 open tabs. Nothing feels broken. So they ignore it. Then the work piles up. And every task takes 3 times longer. The fix is not motivation. It's one workflow with one owner.

@misschopra Save youself some time and get the max plan

should i update my claude to $20 plan ????????

If your team still follows up manually, DM me SYSTEM

Last week on our monthly strategy calls, one of our e-comm agency client was losing 12-15 warm leads a week. All because replies were in Gmail, Notion, and Slack We built an n8n flow: - form submit in Typeform - lead goes into Airtable - Slack alert goes to the VA - follow-up task gets created in GoHighLevel - no reply in 24 hours triggers a second touch Result: 42 mins saved/day and the lead leakage has stopped, I'll share the improvement lead conversion rate as well after 10-14 days or so
