Dan Martell - Start an AI Automation Business

00:00:00.000 I wanna start an AI automation agency,

00:00:02.180 but I don't know where to start.

00:00:03.620 Go sell what you're gonna do first.

00:00:06.220 Don't learn how to do it.

00:00:07.620 I get it, you wanna feel confident

00:00:09.300 that you know how to talk about the thing

00:00:10.840 you're gonna go sell.

00:00:11.740 But honestly, go find a customer first.

00:00:13.740 Go figure out how you're gonna position yourself differently.

00:00:15.940 Go figure out how you get in front of them.

00:00:17.460 Your business isn't a business

00:00:18.740 till you get a stranger to buy something from you.

00:00:20.720 So right now, you should hang up this phone

00:00:22.280 and start calling small businesses and having conversations.

00:00:24.840 And I know they're gonna hang up on you

00:00:26.300 because you're gonna sound awkward and weird,

00:00:27.920 but guess what?

00:00:28.440 having the product figured out is not going to change that. Learn to reach out, add value,

00:00:33.380 connect, build some rapport, see if there's a problem you can help them with, sell them your

00:00:37.100 thing. And then you run really quick back at the office and you figure out how to solve it.

00:00:41.420 Get to a hundred no's. That's my rule. Every day I want you to get to a hundred no's.

00:00:44.900 All right, let me get some no's. Get some no's, bro.
