Why you're not getting any clients with AI automation

[@PaulDragoo-z7p]

Good insights Nick, shiny object syndrome is very real in this industry. There is literally new tools dropping every day, and trying to learn all of them actually is a form of attempting to compete with the AI, which we obviously don't want to do. As an automation specialist, you especially have to have this locked in, because your job is to explain to a business owner how AI can help them, and they likely are listening, because they're lost in the sea of shining objects. You can't expect to fix there problem of confusion and direction in the AI space if you haven't solved this problem for yourself. Just my thoughts, great video man.

So I came back to watch it end to end and by far the best advise to have an AI automation business running in 90 days. Thanks Nick. You are a legend.

[@akshatgarg21]

You're among the only five guys on youtube I actually watch & get value from. Thank you for sharing these useful tips onto implementing these now.

[@aalotbb]

Hey there I’m curious who’s the other four?

[@AKordyban]

Do you usually get the double bacon double cheeseburger combo? J/K Nick is awesome 😅

[@smartexplosion]

Also curious regarding other 4

Excellent video Nick, you’ve gained a subscriber. I’m blessed to have organic demand for my services, already being in business automation and process improvement. A 6 month project was long enough for ai agents to slip totally under my radar. Discovered it a week ago and my mind is EXPLODING with all the potential use cases. 2 months to finish my current obligations then I have a long list of things I’m going to build for people :)

[@JonathanRichey]

Wow..this couldn't have come at a better time! Great insight and practical advice Nick! I just set a calendar reminder in 90 days to re-evaluate my niche choices to see what worked and what didn't. Ok, signing off KZbin for a bit so I can focus on outreach!

[@nicksaraev]

My pleasure Jonathan! Great channel & stoked to see it man.

[@russabuss]

Man, I’m so glad the algo put this video in front of me. Subscribed 🤝

[@nicksaraev]

Appreciate you 🙏

[@ryannichols8352]

Nick, can you describe the logistics behind how you sell these automations to companies? For example, are you setting them up with their own make or n8n account, moving your automation into their account on their billing? Or are you building their automations in your account and passing the billing onto them? Love your content. You've encouraged me to start my own business!

[@jeffreynsng]

You cannot do in yours. The best and only way is have them have their own account

[@YourImpactInvestor]

Loved the section on 'shiny object syndrome' - it's so tempting to get pulled into this when you're operating in this business, but it's such solid advice to persist just as the results are starting to show... thanks Nick (you're diamond drawings need work but your KZbin channel has been amazing for me!)

[@Foodforconsciousnessvlog]

That parachute joke was really funny :) Absolute gold as usual Nick. Thank you. Kenny

[@alexandergottschick4554]

Sometimes it feels like you are reading the minds of people and provide required answers within a video, Nick🎉 Amazing as always, appreciate it a lot! Thank you!

[@nealbrown6345]

This is so on point - as someone with ADHD shiny object syndrome and dopamine chasing is something I battle with daily 😫

[@madchun.techtalk]

scary to watch this vid cos nick you just pointed out my all mistakes you mentioned, make real progress and stop passive learning! thanks a lot nice, great content and wake up call

[@AnandMarar]

Love this honest approach! Thanks for shedding light on the obstacles and giving us a fresh perspective!

[@IsaakMills]

This is incredible advice, I hope every entrepreneur trying to establish themselves finds this video.

[@solaawodiya7360]

Thanks for sharing Nick. I'm actually in the phase of getting my first client and in talks with some prospects. I guess my challenge now is how to leverage my time well and work on prospects that matter while doing lead generation 😅

[@cken27]

Precise observation on the problem and great actionable advices

[@shaunratcliffsr.3153]

Great video as usual. Except for the amount of ads that have popped up during this. In the first 23 minutes, there have been six ads at 30 seconds apiece.

[@nealbrown6345]

Man has to eat bro, especially when he’s giving away all his sauce 😊

[@royrosen3842]

Amazing video so relevant, shiny object and looking for the quick gains (hopping from niche to niche) really resonated.. keep it up nick thanks for the authentic content bro🔥

[@tanyas8596]

I think the only way this will work for me is if I also block slack. This is golden yet simple, thank you very much!

[@nicksaraev]

Slack is the new email, honestly. Would check once per day -> inbox zero -> close until tomorrow. Glad you found it valuable Tanya.

[@LawyersClub1]

31:25 that's what I am going through since May 2024. I make a very detailed plan only to never execute. Thanks Nick, going to throw my phone into a different room right after this video. Going to put my head down and do the work.

[@JanSchmidt1807]

same for me bro. I always tried to built the perfect system before talking to leads or doing outbound. but in the last week I did my Website and now im doing outbound. learning by doing is I think the most important thing when you have a online business

[@jzamudio99]

Keeping it real !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@paolobattiloro947]

I'm new to n8n and one thing that's very difficult to find in tutorials is how to control the chat. How to set timeouts, set a maximum number of messages, have a specific thing done if there is a specific input, set checkboxes in the chat etc... in short, everyone talks about how to set up a bot but few talk about how to have full control over user actions. Have you made any videos about it?

[@nicksaraev]

Great ideas Paolo. Agree there's a lot of high-level stuff but I'll make sure the next few vids dig into the weeds!

[@JonAtLarge]

The issue of selling without knowledge, if you manage to secure a deal that you undervalue and then can't deliver as you've misqouted then you're in more trouble than it taking a bit longer to secure a client. Plucking numbers out of the air is as dangerous as another human condition creeps in, quoting low to win the deal. But, a quote from a group the other night also rings true, you can't have imposter syndrome at this point in this industry as it's so new just by paying attention you're already more informed than 90% of the population.

[@chitdigital7057]

Great video thanks

[@synergyfitnessinc]

Great video. Are you using AI to edit or did you clone yourself?

[@aiwithmehmood]

Very important video and very well explained

[@Jan-Gess]

That shiny object part hit hard 😅

[@omar_se_fue6317]

Do you teach No-code AI Automation? I have been learning more about Automations and I am currently in the works of creating an agency, however I have no experience in coding. Hence my question. Your videos have been inspiring. Thank you.

[@ArizeOW]

Cold E-Mails are illegal in the EU, unfortunately.

[@HaraldontheMoon]

Same for cold calls. Nowadays you have “I want to be called” registers instead of “don’t call me registers”. And guess how large these “call me” registers are. Next to that my experience is that customers are not interested in HOW I help them solve their problem and IF I am actually using AI automation. As long as I solve their problem in a cost-effective way.

[@ArizeOW]

@@HaraldontheMoon I am not really sure about other countries, but cold calling businesses is actually legal in Germany. You are just not allowed to call private numbers.

[@victoriadedicova]

So set up your business in Germany unless you know people IP, you don't know where their email is located. ​@@ArizeOW

[@HaraldontheMoon]

@@ArizeOW it’s different per EU country, whereas mostly it’s not allowed when the person has opted out. Here in the Netherlands, consent is required, unless you’ve received the contact details from the business for commercial purposes or there’s a prior relationship with the customer. In Germany, generally, it is not allowed without consent, except when there is “presumed consent”, i.e. when you have a solid reason to believe that the product or service you promote is of interest to your contact and that the person being called can be presumed to currently agree to be contacted via phone.

[@DeepResearchLab]

Nope, it's legal. You can can't send offer.

[@Elish604]

Nick Does this mean if someone is too shy to record videos, they wouldn’t be successful in client acquisition? ☹️

[@PaperSpeak]

my problem is that i don't have good ideas for systems or solutions i can build and offer.

You see a lot of people spend money to get the ball rolling in this venture, then bail before they've given themselves the chance to earn it back. Like it's some sort of slot machine. Yeah, I mean it sucks not being good at stuff right away - but what a waste.
