00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:10.080
Hi. My name is Tyler Moore. I've been building websites for over twenty years and this is Emmanuel Diaz. He's been making websites for a long time and has made over a thousand websites.

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.185
You told me something last week. You said that nobody actually wants a website. They want something else instead.

00:00:16.185 --> 00:00:17.465
Uh, defend that.

00:00:17.945 --> 00:00:21.625
Yeah. So, you know, if if you run a website design agency,

00:00:21.865 --> 00:00:30.520
um, you might have noticed that you care a lot about creating a website and having a nice website. But for the average person or, like, the average business owner,

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:45.295
their website is not something that they think about a lot. It's kinda like a business card where, like, you know, you wanna have a nice business card, um, and then that's kind of it. You just it kinda sits there. And if you've ever tried to do, like, a cold sale,

00:00:45.695 --> 00:00:48.175
calling somebody to offer them a website,

00:00:48.415 --> 00:00:48.975
they

00:00:50.015 --> 00:00:58.175
unless it, like, is a particular pain point where they're, like, embarrassed about their website or their business is just starting and they kinda need something up and running,

00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:08.940
they don't really care about it that much. It's just like, okay. I have a website or I it's ugly or it's okay, and it just kinda sits there. It's it's kinda fine. So

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:15.365
what I've come to the conclusion of is that what customers actually want is not a website. What they really want is

00:01:16.165 --> 00:01:25.910
money. They wanna they wanna you need to sell them you need to sell them not on the website, but on systems that will will make their life easier.

00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:44.155
And if it makes your life easier and it also makes them more money, um, that is a a much better pitch than, uh, hey. I wanna make you a a better website. So how do you go about pitching them, and what is their reactions, and does it actually get the higher conversion rate when you reach out? Or how does it all work together?

00:01:44.875 --> 00:01:47.675
Yes. So I I wanna show you an example. So,

00:01:48.235 --> 00:01:49.835
uh, if you open

00:01:49.995 --> 00:01:53.675
right there where it says, um, if you go to gotyoursix,

00:01:53.990 --> 00:01:56.310
let me see. I think it's gotyour6.com.

00:01:57.750 --> 00:01:58.630
Oh,

00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:00.710
gotyoursix? Hold

00:02:01.190 --> 00:02:03.990
on. Gotyour6.com?

00:02:03.990 --> 00:02:08.545
You are. You are. You are. You are in the number six. Okay. Gotyour6.com.

00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:09.825
Okay.

00:02:10.065 --> 00:02:11.585
So this is like

00:02:12.385 --> 00:02:13.825
no. It's not this one.

00:02:14.785 --> 00:02:19.905
Although this is a this is a an equally equally bad What is this?

00:02:20.705 --> 00:02:22.940
I don't know. That's not the website.

00:02:23.260 --> 00:02:23.980
Let

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:25.580
me send you the

00:02:25.900 --> 00:02:26.860
the link

00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:28.540
right now. Oh,

00:02:29.660 --> 00:02:33.500
sorry. My bad. It's it's got your six firearms training.

00:02:33.865 --> 00:02:36.585
It's a very long name. So I'll send you the link.

00:02:36.985 --> 00:02:37.545
But

00:02:38.025 --> 00:02:41.305
the the website is it kinda has the same problem as

00:02:41.305 --> 00:02:42.985
the website that you just opened.

00:02:44.505 --> 00:02:58.040
It's like a ugly website. It's like a you know, it's just not they did it themselves. Right? Now if you if you look up the business, right, so if you just put Got Your Six Firearms Training, put Florida because they're in Florida. Mhmm. If you look up the business, okay,

00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.160
Got Your Six Firearms Training Florida,

00:03:02.535 --> 00:03:09.975
You can see that it's, uh, there. It's the first one. Wow. So they have, like, a very good they have, like, a lot of people going there.

00:03:10.455 --> 00:03:11.335
Right.

00:03:11.415 --> 00:03:12.055
So

00:03:12.455 --> 00:03:16.535
the business is doing well. They have a ton of reviews. They're very active on social media.

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:21.300
So if I call them and I say, hey. I can make your website look prettier.

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:31.060
Who cares? Like Yeah. You know, my my website my business is running just fine with, like, a simple website. Like, it gets the job done. Like, it's who cares?

00:03:31.380 --> 00:03:36.915
So what I try to pitch, not just them, but, like, any customer is, um, you know, you try to think about

00:03:37.155 --> 00:03:49.160
what could you actually improve in their business before you contact them. Uh, and it's hard to think about this for every single individual business that that could exist, so you kinda have to niche down to, like, okay. What what business can I solve a problem for?

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:51.240
And for them, for example,

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.520
the issue is that students will, like, book a class,

00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:09.755
and then, you know, they kinda do it one time, get, like, a firearms license, and then they they don't really go again. But, usually, for firearms, you're supposed to, like, train regularly so that you don't get rusty and you you know how to use it and, you know, you're safe about it. So what I

00:04:10.395 --> 00:04:15.915
yes. I offered them a nicer website because I want them to look more professional, but but what they actually want to buy

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.560
is a a booking system that automatically,

00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:28.880
uh, what it does is when they sign up a student every month, it automatically sends them a reminder asking them to book another class.

00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:39.095
Um, it also they can also log what level of training they did. So he has, like, different levels, level one, level two, level three. He can log what level they did, and then it automatically invites them

00:04:39.575 --> 00:04:41.895
to do, like, the next level of training.

00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:48.780
If it's the student's birthday, it sends them a reminder, like, a couple days before saying, hey. You wanna come, you know, train for your birthday?

00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:52.940
And, also, like, before holidays,

00:04:53.180 --> 00:05:03.105
it sends a reminder asking them if they wanna, you know, use the holiday weekend, the long weekend to to do, like, a training session or something like So when I when I explained that part

00:05:03.425 --> 00:05:11.985
in the in the business owner's mind, they're like, wait a minute. This more students, more train okay. Wait. This equals money. Yeah. That's what they actually that's what they actually care about, not

00:05:12.430 --> 00:05:25.870
not having a prettier website. But how did you even, like tell me the story. Walk me through the story of how did you actually contact them? What did you say? Did they contact you? What was that first step? And then and then how do you even know

00:05:26.455 --> 00:05:27.735
what they needed?

00:05:27.975 --> 00:05:31.015
You know? How does, a new if I'm trying to pitch somebody,

00:05:31.175 --> 00:05:32.695
how would I even know? Yeah.

00:05:33.335 --> 00:05:34.935
You know? So the the

00:05:35.255 --> 00:05:54.590
that's why it's good to kinda figure out a niche because once you figure out one one problem, it's easier to sell other similar businesses. Like, you know, once you you kinda have to go either do the research and figure out a known issue. Right? So if if you research, you'll you'll know that there's a lot of gaps in, like, um, subscription businesses that are

00:05:55.075 --> 00:05:58.835
that are routine, but you can't really have a subscription, like pet groomers,

00:05:59.555 --> 00:06:00.435
barbers,

00:06:00.755 --> 00:06:02.755
things that people go to routinely,

00:06:02.835 --> 00:06:05.555
but they can't really offer a subscription service.

00:06:05.795 --> 00:06:14.160
And you could think, you know, how could I how could I make their life easier? Right? You you really need to put effort into putting your yourself in the shoes of the business owner.

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:16.560
Imagine what their day is like and

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.200
and how to how you would fix their solution. And, you know, with with tools like Cloud Code, which is what I use,

00:06:23.945 --> 00:06:30.425
you know, it it really opens the door to okay. I can build any kind of software that can run any kind of system.

00:06:30.905 --> 00:06:37.305
How can I use this? Which I know that the business owner probably doesn't have access to a tool like this. How can I use this to build some kind of

00:06:38.090 --> 00:06:39.610
really niche software

00:06:39.770 --> 00:06:54.495
that can solve specifically this very specific issue that that is so specific and so small that there's no, like, giant software that does it? Right. But you can offer it to that to that small business. Can you give me some more examples of, like, what is a small, you know, niche thing that you can do

00:06:54.895 --> 00:06:55.775
for people?

00:06:56.095 --> 00:06:56.495
Yeah.

00:06:57.855 --> 00:06:59.855
So another example was for

00:07:00.335 --> 00:07:04.735
a bridal company that I did. So I think you have it pulled up right there.

00:07:05.455 --> 00:07:08.095
So this is Blushing Bridal. There's, a bridal boutique.

00:07:08.590 --> 00:07:19.630
And Very nice website. Did did you Yeah. It's a beautiful it's a beautiful website. And to be honest, for for these customers, they they never asked me, like, oh, can you build me this?

00:07:20.190 --> 00:07:23.805
It's kind of like I work with a subscription model. So,

00:07:24.285 --> 00:07:31.485
you know, there's only so much so many website updates that you can do. Right? Um, so I always try to think, well, what could I build

00:07:32.045 --> 00:07:32.685
that

00:07:33.565 --> 00:07:39.510
makes it worth it for them to continue to pay the subscription? Right? And Mhmm. When you give your customer a tool that,

00:07:39.830 --> 00:07:48.230
um, increases how much money they make, uh, and and and the money they make from the tool makes is more than what the, uh, what the tool cost. It's

00:07:48.790 --> 00:07:51.190
it it makes complete sense to

00:07:51.795 --> 00:07:59.795
to keep pay paying for it, which is, you know, I want my customers to be happy, and I I want them to use these tools for a long time. So she had on her she had a WordPress website,

00:08:00.355 --> 00:08:02.755
um, and she had a booking system that, uh,

00:08:03.155 --> 00:08:07.395
you know, it was a a very, uh, standard free plug in booking system.

00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:13.610
And what it would do is, uh, the person would would fill out the sheet. So if you go to her website

00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:18.090
if you go to her website, um, it says click click book your appointment.

00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:20.730
Book your appointment?

00:08:21.050 --> 00:08:26.465
Yeah. Right there. So this is what she had. She had an uglier version of this. We made it look pretty.

00:08:26.705 --> 00:08:31.905
Um, but this is what she had. So you could, uh, click a date right there, and then you could pick a time.

00:08:33.025 --> 00:08:40.290
And then the bride would fill out the information for, like, uh, trying on her dress. Right? And that's it. She did get a confirmation email, and that was it.

00:08:40.770 --> 00:08:43.410
And the the WordPress plugin that she had,

00:08:43.810 --> 00:08:44.930
it was abandoned,

00:08:45.010 --> 00:08:48.690
and it was starting to create, like, fatal errors on her website.

00:08:49.235 --> 00:08:54.515
So I told her, hey. Listen. We we we should replace this before it, like, breaks the website really bad.

00:08:55.795 --> 00:09:01.075
And she was like, okay. Let's let's let's work on that next. And I thought, okay. I can I can make a a booking plugin with Cloud Code?

00:09:01.810 --> 00:09:04.530
But I was like, you know, what if I made something that was, like,

00:09:05.170 --> 00:09:11.570
really cool? Like like like, go further beyond than just a booking plugin. There's a million booking plugins.

00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:14.530
So I made an entire appointment

00:09:14.530 --> 00:09:15.330
system.

00:09:15.650 --> 00:09:29.545
So it has the entire booking plug in part, um, that you would, you know, do. But the really cool thing is, uh, a couple of things. So she has this dashboard now that's, like, really pretty. Before, it was just, like, the WordPress UI, which is, like, blue and gray. Now it's, like, brand matched.

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:35.760
So this is a demo of what she sees. So, for example, under Olivia, if you click view,

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:38.080
uh, click view right there,

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:43.280
um, it also has, like, all the bride's details, almost like kind of like a mini CRM.

00:09:44.095 --> 00:09:50.415
And now she has another tool, uh, that she could use. You see where it says pick dresses? So click where it says pick dresses.

00:09:50.735 --> 00:10:01.560
This is where she can kind of preselect the dresses that she wants to demo for the bride based on her on her thing. So those are all the brands that she has. She can click any of the brands,

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:16.485
and it'll load from her website. Oh, wow. But instead of loading, like, the ecommerce view, it'll load, like, this really, like, nice elegant view. She can heart whichever ones that she wants to demo. So you can, like, heart one of them, it'll it'll add it to the little thing.

00:10:16.805 --> 00:10:23.765
And then you can click at the top left corner to, like, go back home or or save the the pic. So you go back home.

00:10:24.165 --> 00:10:28.060
And now here's the here's, like, the the really special part that I explained to her.

00:10:29.260 --> 00:10:32.780
She has in her in her studio,

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.540
like, this really big, giant

00:10:35.020 --> 00:10:36.460
60 inch screen

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:53.715
where she has her website open, and she shows the videos and the images of what the dresses look like. So I was like, wouldn't it be nice if the bride came in and it said, welcome bride's name, and then it had, like it wasn't just, like, her website. It was, like, something nice, uh, for the bride. So now if she clicks start appointment,

00:10:54.300 --> 00:11:00.380
it automatically launches a, like, a presentation mode. That's cool. So, yeah, so this will be on her screen.

00:11:00.780 --> 00:11:02.060
Uh, welcome, Olivia.

00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:09.100
And, uh, it has there her, um, social media tag at the bottom. And the idea is what I explained to her is, hey. Listen.

00:11:09.585 --> 00:11:12.785
The bride comes in. She sees her name. It feels personal.

00:11:12.945 --> 00:11:15.745
It feels like you did something really, like, really special just for her.

00:11:16.625 --> 00:11:17.985
Usually, brides

00:11:18.385 --> 00:11:24.160
are not gonna post to Instagram a photo of the dresses that they're picking it's kinda like the the whole point is it's, like, it's a surprise.

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:30.800
So, usually usually, brides will will share, like, every part of, like, what they do, but they won't share the dress part. But

00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:50.695
this, you know, they could take a picture that they're in the studio, and they could take a picture of this welcome screen with her tag. So it's something that is shareable without them having to share the dress. Right? So I think something that that they could share on social media, and it also has her her tag right there. That's cool. So now if you go to the bottom left hand corner I mean, sorry, bottom right hand corner, you click start.

00:11:51.655 --> 00:12:02.990
Yeah. Right there. It's gonna go to another screen where it's gonna have the dresses that were pre prechosen. You hover your mouse over them. It automatically plays a clip Oh, nice. Of the of that particular dress.

00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:07.230
And then if they click if you click on one of the dresses, then you get

00:12:07.445 --> 00:12:19.605
more photos and videos of of that particular dress. Wow. So this presentation mode, it doesn't have any tags or price information or or anything like that. It's all about, like, being in the moment and, like, selling the dress

00:12:20.030 --> 00:12:24.990
versus the the ecommerce website that, you know, it has a dress, but it has a bunch of other text information.

00:12:25.390 --> 00:12:28.990
And this is really more about, like, creating this, like, boutique presentation.

00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:36.415
So so what does she feel? Well, when you showed her this, what did she I mean, because this would have costed before, I don't know, a $102,100,000

00:12:36.415 --> 00:12:42.735
dollars, and I know she didn't pay that much for it. Her business probably couldn't even support paying that much for it. Right?

00:12:43.135 --> 00:12:45.535
Yeah. So So what did she say when she saw this?

00:12:46.610 --> 00:12:52.610
Yeah. She was blown away. She was blown away. She was, like, nervous. Like, she was, like, not sure. She

00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:54.850
she wasn't expecting it. Right? Mhmm.

00:12:55.170 --> 00:12:57.810
Because we basically developed an entire, like

00:12:58.465 --> 00:13:06.705
Yeah. A whole system for it. You're like Yeah. You pay this matcha, then you get, like, all of this, and she thinks it's some sort of scam or something.

00:13:07.025 --> 00:13:17.570
Right. So so she was blown away. She it's running on her website now, and I think her her first appointment where she's gonna use it is in a couple of days. So Oh, that's exciting. Excited about that.

00:13:17.970 --> 00:13:34.705
Yeah. So, you know, it's something that really makes her unique, and I think it's it's a you know, I like to think about it like, if it was my business, what would I want it to to feel like? Mhmm. And I think that is something that the customers value a lot. And when you're able to provide that kind of value to them,

00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:49.690
that is what they want, not just, like, a fancy website. Right. And I think that is part of the story. Now that we have and you have these tools, you can provide so much more value to people and go into so many smaller

00:13:49.850 --> 00:13:55.385
niches that were not available because this would've cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make.

00:13:55.705 --> 00:14:09.300
Right. Like, um, you know, creating I created this for her. Probably it took about a week, um, to get it to get it to work just right because, uh, you know, it is integrated with, like, payment processing and booking and all that kinda calendar and all this kind of stuff.

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:19.625
Um, but this would have been months months and months, um, in the past, and it might not have been as good. You know? And and I know that you said that you work on, like, a subscription

00:14:19.865 --> 00:14:24.105
services. You don't have to say the exact pricing of everything because I know it's probably per customer.

00:14:24.425 --> 00:14:30.505
But is this in the thousands of dollars a month, the hundreds of dollars a month, the 10 thousands dollars a month? Where are we?

00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:35.200
Yeah. No. I think she's paying she's paying, like, $250

00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.560
a month is what she pays.

00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:40.880
And I think if you were to, like, get Bespoke

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.320
booking software,

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:53.625
that alone is probably more. Yeah. You know? Well, like, hundreds software. Hundreds of thousands, I think this would have cost Yeah. You know, for all of the appointment and all the integrations and the website and everything.

00:14:54.025 --> 00:15:12.190
Yeah. So she she's super happy. And and think about you know, how expensive is a wedding dress? Right? So my logic is if this increases her conversion rate to even one more dress per month, which it it'll probably do more than that, but let's say that's all it does, well worth the value. Like, she why would she ever cancel a subscription? You know? Yeah.

00:15:12.990 --> 00:15:14.910
Uh, the other thing I wanted to

00:15:15.445 --> 00:15:17.365
point on is you showed me

00:15:17.925 --> 00:15:22.325
a text of one of your customers. I think it was the

00:15:22.485 --> 00:15:24.005
firearm person.

00:15:24.245 --> 00:15:26.485
Yeah. Because And he and he said that, like,

00:15:26.805 --> 00:15:33.780
you're, like, part of his family, part of the team. He he felt like some you know, some was that this person? That somebody had their back.

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:42.705
Yeah. Can you tell tell me about that story. I think that was really good. Yeah. So so this is a guy who he's starting a new business. Right? He he's been doing it on the side.

00:15:43.425 --> 00:15:44.705
What he does is, like,

00:15:45.425 --> 00:15:52.625
the renewal for, like, security guards. So security guards have to renew their licenses to to every, like, once or twice a year.

00:15:53.650 --> 00:16:00.770
And, you know, there are some compliances that he has to meet, like, with the state to do that. And it's very difficult because you have to have all this documentation

00:16:01.090 --> 00:16:09.525
saved, you need to re you need to remember everybody's renewal day and, like, remind them and, like, keep track of all the people. It's complicated.

00:16:10.005 --> 00:16:11.925
So he was using HubSpot before,

00:16:12.325 --> 00:16:14.725
and the the issue with HubSpot is that

00:16:15.365 --> 00:16:18.725
first of all, you need to learn HubSpot. And they're like actually,

00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:23.510
go go up like, pull up HubSpot pricing right now, and it's, like, it's, like, insane.

00:16:24.950 --> 00:16:26.470
And it's kind of like a a

00:16:27.110 --> 00:16:29.670
most softwares are, like, one size fits all

00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:34.975
because it's obviously, it's very difficult to make, like, custom software for every kind of of business.

00:16:37.055 --> 00:16:39.295
But, yeah, you see, if you go into professional,

00:16:39.535 --> 00:16:41.375
it's it's already in the $800

00:16:41.375 --> 00:16:42.975
a month. It's very expensive.

00:16:44.415 --> 00:16:48.330
And that's where all, like, the really good features are. So and even then,

00:16:48.570 --> 00:16:56.970
again, you have to learn HubSpot. Right? It's kind of like a one size fits all feature. There's a ton of stuff that that that you probably don't need to use,

00:16:57.530 --> 00:17:19.000
and it's it's just difficult for for business owners to figure out. Business owners don't want to figure out software. It's like another barrier. Yeah. Um, they don't they want the website to work for them, and they and and being able to approach a business and tell them, hey. Listen. I'm gonna build this software that does it does exactly what you need it to do. No nothing extra. Right. I'm show No the

00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:20.760
extra buttons.

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:28.600
And, you know, when he calls me and he tells me, hey. You know, there's this new document that's required, and we need to add that to, like, the to, like, the CRM.

00:17:29.125 --> 00:17:46.950
Okay. Yeah. Let's add another field to the CRM. No problem. Done. Yeah. Versus like, hey. You know, that's not supported in the software you paid for. Sorry. Yeah. You know? I can't do it. I can't do it. So so this CRM here, to make it super easy for him, it's, like, alphabetized. The number of students

00:17:47.430 --> 00:17:57.350
per letter are in there. If you click on any of the student profiles these are all demos, of course. If you click on it also, it's, like, matched to his brand too.

00:17:58.955 --> 00:18:05.115
So if you click yeah. It's all demo information. If you click any of the student's profile, he has all their content information.

00:18:05.515 --> 00:18:08.715
He has, like, all their documents all in one place.

00:18:09.275 --> 00:18:13.195
So he doesn't have to stress about whether he's compliant or not with, like, what it is.

00:18:14.300 --> 00:18:23.260
Another thing he told me is that he does, like, a course that that they have to complete. So we said, okay. Let's just build the courses into the into the CRM.

00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:27.115
I don't know if this demo has it. Go back to the home page. It it might.

00:18:28.235 --> 00:18:29.595
Uh, let's see.

00:18:30.155 --> 00:18:37.675
Oh, I think this one I think this link doesn't have it. But, yeah, we we had the he he wanted to do courses, and we just built in built in the courses as well.

00:18:38.970 --> 00:18:42.490
Nice. So he has like a custom it's completely

00:18:42.570 --> 00:18:43.370
custom.

00:18:43.770 --> 00:18:45.450
But what I wanna know is

00:18:46.090 --> 00:18:56.655
what was his response when you showed him this? Because he's not paying thousands of dollars a month for it. You know, he's paying a small fee for this custom software that would not have been possible

00:18:56.975 --> 00:19:00.415
eight months ago or a year ago. So, you know,

00:19:00.895 --> 00:19:11.890
I I just really love when he when you shared that text, and I want you to tell everyone, you know, what basically what that text said. Yeah. It was like a super long text of him saying how happy he he was

00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:13.010
because,

00:19:13.090 --> 00:19:16.770
you know, it it was I think this was something that was stressing him out a lot,

00:19:17.330 --> 00:19:20.450
like, compliance. Like, it was a very big

00:19:20.945 --> 00:19:27.025
barrier to him starting the business, like, having the required compliance and a system to document everything.

00:19:27.505 --> 00:19:31.745
And and this is not a technical person. This is not a technical guy. He he just knows his trade.

00:19:32.065 --> 00:19:47.935
So to build him a software that works exactly meets him at his level, does exactly what he needed what he needs it to do, it was very impactful to him because it it really made it simple for him to, um, go on to the next level and and and, you know, he's he's starting to book students. Like, it's

00:19:47.935 --> 00:19:53.135
nice to see that you're starting a business and, like, the gears are starting to roll and it's starting to actually work.

00:19:53.455 --> 00:19:54.175
Yeah.

00:19:54.575 --> 00:19:57.535
So you you started this with nobody wants a website.

00:19:57.775 --> 00:20:04.640
What do they really want? And so, yeah, what do they really want? Do they they want they want sales? They want organization?

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.880
They want a custom solution to,

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.240
you know, what they want?

00:20:09.040 --> 00:20:15.120
Yeah. Exactly. That's exactly it. Um, what what businesses really want is, um, they want their lives to be easier,

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:32.230
and they they want their business to to perform better. Right? So I think, uh, the the main takeaway is, um, you know, when you're trying to pitch a website, don't pitch a nicer website. That's it's gonna be unless the person really wants a nice website, it's gonna be hard to solve. Try to figure out what the pain point is of the business,

00:20:32.710 --> 00:20:38.550
figure out how you can solve it, and, you know, show them that solution that that that you built.

00:20:39.350 --> 00:20:59.595
And tell them, hey. Listen. You know, you probably have these issues, one, three, four, five, and and I built a system that solves these issues. And, you know, maybe that includes having a nicer a nicer website with better SEO and things like that. But if you present the the solution to to the problems that you know that they have, that's gonna convert way better than just a nicer website. How do you tactically go from,

00:21:00.670 --> 00:21:03.070
okay. I'm not gonna pitch a website anymore,

00:21:03.150 --> 00:21:10.750
but let's say I don't have a bunch of reviews like you do and people aren't coming to me. How do I approach somebody and say,

00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:17.345
uh, offer these solutions to them? Especially when I don't know exactly what they need. Is there a solution for that?

00:21:17.905 --> 00:21:21.745
Yeah. You know, if if I was starting from zero right now,

00:21:22.145 --> 00:21:27.265
um, I would still reach out to maybe friends and family who have small businesses.

00:21:27.745 --> 00:21:36.700
And, um, you know, using AI tools, it obviously makes it a lot easier. Uh, kind of talk to them, figure out what issues they have and what what tools would help them.

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:46.295
And then from there, let's say you have a a family member who's a plumber or who's an electrician or, you know, works in in whatever in whatever trade or or job,

00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:57.495
if you can build them a really useful tool, then it it gives you a leg up to reach out to other plumbing business, other electric That's smart. Other you know, say, hey. Listen. I I built this for this kind of company.

00:21:58.310 --> 00:22:01.190
We can build it for you. And sometimes what you need to do,

00:22:01.750 --> 00:22:05.190
if you figure out a really good it's you just ideate a solution,

00:22:05.750 --> 00:22:15.255
just build a dummy version of it. And, you know, reach out to the business and be like, hey. Listen. I built this product for dog groomers, and it solves these problems and, you know, share it with them.

00:22:15.655 --> 00:22:51.325
Um, and if you come from a perspective that you you wanna help them solve a problem and improve their business and not you just wanna sell them a nicer website, that converts better. And you I I think that's a great great advice. What I wanna do is I've seen a bunch of these framing websites. You know, they they frame pictures and stuff. And what I wanna do and I wanna try it is I wanna try to build software because they don't have any software that allows them to adjust the size and adjust the thickness of the frames and all that and the type of wood. And I wanna build that for them and then I wanna show them this demo that's obviously better than their website of filling out just a form

00:22:51.690 --> 00:22:54.330
And you know, they can interact with it, put in a picture.

00:22:54.970 --> 00:23:03.370
And I think that would do really really well. So if there was one takeaway, one thing that people can do tomorrow

00:23:04.265 --> 00:23:06.425
in order to not sell a website,

00:23:06.905 --> 00:23:12.105
what would it what would it be? And sell something else instead. What was, like, with the one action thing they could take home?

00:23:12.665 --> 00:23:15.145
Yeah. I think the the one thing you can do

00:23:15.465 --> 00:23:17.785
would be to figure out a a problem.

00:23:18.560 --> 00:23:24.880
And, you know, the the freebie that I would give you is businesses that have a regular booking. Right? So they can't do a subscription.

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.080
There's a lot of businesses like that, dog groomers,

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.840
personal trainers.

00:23:30.575 --> 00:23:31.775
There's a ton of them.

00:23:32.175 --> 00:23:38.975
Pick one that you like, and that's a that's a really good niche that that has that specific problem that I've identified.

00:23:39.135 --> 00:23:49.180
But if if you're familiar with other businesses near you or family members or friends that run businesses, ask them. Like, hey. What are what are some things that, like, you are, like, really tough that, like, you wish was easier,

00:23:49.340 --> 00:23:56.494
um, or or some software that you wish you had, but it's too expensive or too hard to use? Um, and that'll give you a lot of insight on on what you can build for them.

00:23:56.814 --> 00:24:04.094
Thank you so much. Please remember to comment, rate, and subscribe. I think that was great advice. Appreciate it. See you. Thanks, everybody. See you next time.
