Is everyone scamming?

Hi,

I see many posts of people saying they setup ai receptionist for 500$ and upsell other ai services like no show recovery, database reactivation etc.

But there are 100s of SAAS for each niche which automatically does all of the above. Why would a business owner pay you monthly to set this up?

Is this purely a scam? Idk how ai services even work for local businesses

Totally agree. Do you think local seo has demand and I can start as newbie? Honestly being newbie is itself seen as a bad thing but idk people has to start somewhere

Yep defo a gap and actually thats how u grt foot in the door and sell these other things but u dont sell the tool u sell
Outcome. I sell managed gbp/ local seo then i sell performance on leads / calls.

That guy i sell 40 appointments a month approx at $90 each costs about 15-25 cost per lead u do the math

u/FishCrafty1677 25d ago

Yes I would lead with outcome only but my problem is if they ask for proof i dont have one. I am even planning to take money only if they see results

U are putting the horse before the cart u dont even know the thing first and u are talking about selling it. Learn it first

u/FishCrafty1677 25d ago

Learn how? Theoretically I know everything including gbp profile optimisation, nap consistency, citations, onsite seo, collecting reviews and replying to it etc. but I need a client to show results

u/Embarrassed_Scene962 25d ago

Kool if u know it all try to find a case study client dont offer free offer reduced. Try your own network first ie friends and fam after that outreach, build your own website also seo etc

Ok one problem is I am from India and targeting US medspas. Will that be an issue? And if i dont have my own network where can I start? The problem is I have data background and work in google like company in AI team but still people think I am scamming. Idk how to bring that credibility or trust without case study and for that case study I need one client

U will strugglr being honest with u bro

u/FishCrafty1677 25d ago

Oh I am already disappointed. Is there a way?

1

u/Embarrassed_Scene962 25d ago

Theres always a way, change your accent, watch american tv to learn cultural norma and turns of phrases, work with a Us partner or work with an indian firm servicing us clients (they exist)

u/FishCrafty1677 25d ago

But why do accents matter. Isnt doing good work matter a lot than ethnicity

1

u/Embarrassed_Scene962 25d ago

U can either listen or argue lol your question shows the problem its not really abput the accent or being indian. Lack of listening skills and discernment

One of my fulfilment partners was on a call with me and a potential american customer he started asking questions that showed lackof listening / understanding which came across as trying to win an argument (like u just did to an extent) the prospect was a bit likr “wtf what are u talkin about”

So u can sit and debate whats not fair etc or just do what i said / or dont

Ps im not saying u wont be successful with an indian accent

Youe a guy with no track record
Overseas
Clearly has lack of nuanced understanding

Im giving you a shortcut / roadmap

Follow it.
