@romanbuildsaas I know some great operators looking for their next role, we've got a whole talent network for them

GojiberryAI grew 106% in one month and is now just a few days away from $1M ARR. Here is everything I’m doing right now to grow as fast as possible. A) Outreach Marketing 1) LinkedIn 8 accounts 35 connection requests and 40 DMs per account per day We use GojiberryAI to grow GojiberryAI. Our SaaS finds high intent leads and contacts them automatically to deliver high value blueprints and book demos. 2) Email 6,500 cold emails per day Around 2% reply rate This is a high volume strategy. We offer valuable blueprints and it works very well. People read, subscribe, or book demos. B) Inbound Marketing 1) LinkedIn 8 posts per day, one per account 6 days per week are lead magnet content 1 day per week is founder content 2) X 3 posts per day across 3 accounts No strict strategy, I document what we’re building. 3) Threads 1 repost per day 4) Reddit 2 posts per week I focus on high value content. 5) YouTube Previously 1 video per day, currently 2 per week The strategy is to rank in SEO on competitor keywords. C) Paid marketing 1) 3 LinkedIn influencer posts per week, around $500 each I contact them, negotiate, write the posts, and approve them. 2) An Ad placement on TrustMRR with @marclou 3) Facebook retargeting + We are scaling paid ads aggressively in February. D) Demos Between 5 and 8 demos per day Mostly sales teams Around 70% close rate to the free plan I do not love doing demos, but they are powerful. If I fully opened my calendar, I could probably do 20 per day. E) SEO We use Outrank by @tibo_maker. Someone edits and improves the articles. It is starting to gain a LOT of traction. What is working : - Using our own tool to grow our own tool. That is incredibly powerful. - Strong organic traction with 50k visitors per month - Churn is decreasing - Strong customer results - Stable product and fast development cycles - Very responsive customer support - We built scripts that automatically reply to LinkedIn comments with the requested resource. Huge time saver. - AI is helping me achieve 10x more than ever before. What is not working : - I am alone in marketing. - All of this takes around 18 hours per day and I am overheating. - Reddit and YouTube quality is dropping because I do not have enough time. I am currently hiring a right hand operator to fix this. The goal : With paid ads and hiring, the objective is to go from 1M to 2M ARR as fast as possible. LFG.

@trentjhughes @Tribefounders @jspujji for sure

Who should we have guest speak for @Tribefounders?

@alex_borkin I literally just went through this Hiring is tougher than ever right now, especially for these sort of key support roles

New executive admin quit this morning on me (after her first week). This was my third assistant hire in 9 months. AMA

#1 will best be done by enriching the data and using a knowledge graph with RAG, I don’t think anything off the shelf does that yet. I would be happy to have an apprentice build this for you no charge, would make a great capstone for them to upgrade our frameworks. #2 is too general without a specific business framework to model on IME. Personally have about a half dozen I use with different knowledge sets in biz strategy, offer crafting, financial analaysis (often best specific to the biz type, etc

@JacobColling There are 2 that I want: - A chatbot I can use to query all of my podcast episodes for both qualitative and quantitative data - A chatbot that can give feedback on deals, opportunities and business problems

Every AI chatbot I’ve tried is trash. “Just fine-tune on your data” they say. Cool. Now it confidently misunderstands me. I want to be impressed. So far I’m not. Who can prove me wrong?

@RandBusiness We normally do this for clients only, but I’d be happy to try a one off with you

Does anyone have an offshore staffing company that is specialized in finding AI/automations experts?

@alex_borkin Getting that setup for the local biz now.

We have 3 people managing the back office for our now 5 lines of business. 8am-8pm. They answer the phone for 5 different companies. Are knowledgeable enough to answer most questions. They move every call to a booked estimate. They coordinate with the correct project manager to schedule. They confirm with everyone the day of the estimate to make sure all details are lined up. Call the customer if we are running late. They follow up immediately with our in-field team to get the details from the estimates to put together a proposal for the customer. They update the CRM. Schedule follow ups. Answer questions. They scheduled installations when the customer moves forward. They coordinate with our installers. Collect payment. Solve any work related issues. Yes - we use a lot of technology, but we have a human touch for every step. We have a high close rate. Very high customer approval rate. People still want to work people.

@trentjhughes Depends on the role, probably some base with additional performanc

@gentoftech Pay them more for it too?

A business owner discovered his employee he is paying for full time work is actually working an hour a day by using AI to do most of his job The work is getting done still... What would you do with that employee?

What do you think the CPM of earned media is? For B2B?

@RandBusiness @eduschesne1 ?

I got this email from a peer group member today: “Is there anyone you could connect me with in the groups or otherwise that has experience running a b2b sales strategy? It's my major focus to get a sales hire and strategy together this quarter but don't have any good examples from a similar business. Most of the other janitorial owners I know are like me and don't have a full time sales person. Anyone you could connect me with that has a similar dynamic (maybe landscaping, or other facilities maintenance) that is further along would be really helpful. Thanks!” I made my recommendations, but I’m curious if anyone here has someone they’d recommend connecting.

@trentjhughes We have been using it internally for a few years Putting together a more formal training program later this year

@gentoftech I like this idea

How are people making money with AI? I feel like there are a ton of side hustles or business ideas to be had... What are you guys seeing?

@ctsanford Yes, it can work well

Ask your vibe coder if he is implementing rate limits and any sort of auth

@trentjhughes @ryanraysr At its core it is digital transformation or project buildout upfront with a maintenance or staffing backend Standard B2B service

@ryanraysr My only worry with ai automation agencies, is how do they keep recurring clients and not automated themselves out of jobs?

$1,000,000,000 Question How do you measure your capability to replace specific tasks in your business with AI/automation? Who has the killer framework or tool?

@aleckrem @denk_tweets @beehiiv @gregisenberg I think my show, @codyschneiderxx and @CoFoundersNik would make a great triple play

my boss @denk_tweets over @beehiiv is open to doing 3 podcast guest spots this month 🎙️ he crushed it on @gregisenberg’s pod last week, 150k+ impressions across 3 platforms. which podcasts should he hit next? tag the hosts below 👇

@niconley Replit

If you were building a custom website for a local service business with Replit, what would you use for the lead submission form? > Google forms is ugly. > Jotform is ridiculously priced to remove branding.

@jonahnewman_ Yeah, I’ve got a slow business and a fast one When it takes 90 to 180 days to close a contract that’s going to run for a year plus that is a very different biz than a one or two call close

I’ve seen both sides of this argument this morning. Sense or urgency is huge, bias for action -> execution makes a big difference. Prioritization and timeliness may point in another direction. Something to be said for both arguments. Subject matter determine which school of thought you should follow.

If you can’t wait two weeks to meet me, you don’t really have any interest
