    829 | Nobody Wants A Website (Sell This $250/Month AI System Instead) | Enmanuel Diaz

    🎯Nobody wants a website. They'll pay $250/month for these AI systems.🎯 Enmanuel Diaz sold websites for $2,000 and one in ten people said yes. Then he found a firearms training company with 500+ five-star reviews, a packed calendar, and a homemade GoDaddy site ranked #1 on Google — and realized they didn't need a better website. They needed a system. He blew up his own model. Now local businesses pay him $250 a month for custom software that used to cost $50,000–$100,000 and take a coding team months. Nine out of ten say yes. His churn is under 2%. There are no contracts and no build fees, and his pricing is public. In this episode he opens his actual client dashboards and walks through the 5 systems he sells to local businesses, then builds one live on camera using AI — from a blank screen to a working homepage. 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:→ The automatic rebooking engine that took one client from 1 booking per customer to 4–5 → The booking + CRM system he built for a bridal boutique in under 7 days → The revenue dashboard that shows a client exactly how much money their website made ($1,100 in 19 days on a $450/month site) → Why he hides his client's prices — and why sales went up → How he prices a $100,000 build at $250/month and still profits → Why he gives clients the files and lets them cancel any time → The exact prompt he uses to build a client homepage with AI If you run an agency, sell websites, or sell anything to local businesses, this is a working playbook for turning one-time website projects into recurring revenue.

    827 | This Solo Agency Owner Is Racing to $1M With AI Agents in 9 Months | Siloh Moses

    🎯He replaced a $1.2M team with AI agents — solo, $70K in 31 days. 🎯 This is how to build and sell AI agents for business, and why home services (plumbers, HVAC, roofers) is the smartest niche nobody's touching. Siloh "Silo" Moses runs Uno OS as a single founder with zero employees — just a team of AI agents doing the work of a hundred people. In this episode he breaks down the exact playbook agency owners can copy: how to sell AI agents to local businesses, why speed-to-lead is the first agent you install, and how his CFO AI agent found a client running a $66K monthly loss they didn't even know about — then built a plan for $1.2M in extra revenue. If you're building an AI automation agency, learning how to make money with AI agents, or figuring out how to package and price AI agents for real businesses, this is the tactical breakdown — cold outreach, the 30-day install order, testing before launch, and the content engine that fills the pipeline for a one-person company. 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:– How to sell AI agents to local businesses without cold sales calls – The exact order to install agents (and why lead-response comes first) – How to price AI agents on outcomes, not hours – Why home services is the highest-ROI AI automation niche – How one founder runs a full agency with AI agents instead of staff 🔔 Sta tuned for more on AI agents for business, selling AI, and running lean. 🔗 CONNECT WITH SILOH:LinkedIn: ⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/silohmoses/ Website: https://www.unoos.ai/ 👉 Book an AI readiness assessment / work with Silo: [https://ai-guide.unoos.ai/workshop] 🔗 CONNECT WITH VENDASTA:💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendasta/ X: https://x.com/vendasta 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vendasta/ #AIAgents #AIAutomationAgency #SellAIAgents #AIforBusiness #AIagentsforbusiness #HomeServices #SmallBusinessAI #AIreceptionIST #SpeedToLead #Entrepreneurship ABOUT VENDASTA:Vendasta is an AI customer acquisition & engagement platform.

    ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube 🎯Jon Cheney is back. 🎯Watch Jon's first episode here: [https://youtu.be/kQ8jy1raZso] Last time he showed us how he built a million-dollar business solo with zero coding experience. This time we went deeper on the part nobody asked about? How a non-technical guy with no sales team booked $180,000 in AI deals in six weeks, completely cold. Jon walks through exactly who's buying vibe-coded AI solutions right now, the word-for-word script he uses on every single sales call, and the 10-minute live demo trick that has CEOs ready to buy before he's done talking. We also talked about how to price AI services so you actually have a business, the real story of how one AI voice agent saved a staffing company $100,000 a year, the biggest mistake people make when they try this, and his simple model for keeping clients month after month: If you run an agency and you've been wondering how to sell AI to local businesses, this is the playbook.

    825 | He Let AI Build His Business (It Made $180K In 6 Weeks) | Jon Cheney

    ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube 🎯How He Scaled His Business From $0-180K in 6 Weeks With Vibecoding🎯 Jon Cheney can't write a single line of code, and he's landing $15,000 AI contracts in 5 days using vibe coding. In this episode, Jon breaks down exactly how he went from idea to first paying customer in one weekend: building an entire AI training business for ~$400, fixing a broken Stripe checkout, and closing a $15K deal by Tuesday — then scaling to $180,000 in six weeks, completely solo. He also reveals the one client question that flipped him from one-day trainings into a recurring-revenue fractional Chief AI Officer model, and walks through real client builds: a 5,000-employee staffing company that cut case resolution from 39 days to 11, and a dashboard that gave BYU Athletics back a full week of work every month. If you run an agency, consultancy, or local business and want to sell AI services without knowing how to code, this is the roadmap. 🚀 Meet Vibe, Vendasta's new AI app builder. ✨ See how you can go from idea to app in just minutes. ⚡📱.

    824 | AI Agents Run 98% of His Business (No-code Setup)| Tim Cortinovis

    ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube 🎯 Behind Tim Cortinovis' Agentic Team That Runs 98% Of His Business 🎯 Tim Cortinovis hasn't answered his own email in eleven months. His agents handle 98% of everything that hits his inbox — and his clients say the replies are remarkable. In this episode, he hands over the entire system that runs his business: every agent, what it does, and how he built it in ten minutes with zero code. Forbes calls him a tech visionary. Thinkers360 ranked him a Top 10 thought leader in agentic AI. He's advised Siemens, ING, and e.on on this exact shift, and wrote the Amazon #1 book on building a company that runs on agents. Now he's running his own business as the proof. Host Jeff Tomlin digs into what's actually left for the human to do — and a prediction about sales jobs you're not going to like. In this episode: ✅ The agentic team that runs his business ✅ The 10-minute, zero-infrastructure prep he runs before any prospect meeting (the exact tools and prompts) ✅ The belief about clients he spent a year quietly proving wrong: why speed beats presence ✅ Why the email-based SDR has "no reason to exist within the next twelve months" ✅ How to sell to buying agents — not humans — before your prospect knows they're in the market. 🔗 Connect With Tim Cortinovis 🌐 Website: https://www.timcortinovis.com/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timcortinovis/ 📩 Newsletter: https://www.cortinovis.de/blog/ 🔗 Connect With Vendasta 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendasta/ X: https://x.com/vendasta 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vendasta/ Thanks for listening!

    823 | Meet the Man Who Cracked LinkedIn with AI (copy his EXACT system) | Charlie Hills

    ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube 🎯 How Charlie Hills Hit 200K+ LinkedIn Followers in a Year (& the 9 AI Prompts Behind It) 🎯 Get all 9 prompts here: https://www.vendasta.com/content-library/youtube-content-library/ LinkedIn reach is down ~80%, AI content is everywhere, and most agency owners are posting into the void. So how did Charlie Hills go from posts dying at 400 impressions to 200,000+ followers and a client pipeline in just over a year? In this episode we break down the exact system — the profile setup, the content strategy, and the full library of AI prompts Charlie uses with Claude and Gemini to create high-performing LinkedIn content without sounding robotic. You'll learn why "how I did it" beats "how to," the 70/20/10 content split that drives both growth and revenue, and how to engineer hooks, carousels, and infographics that actually stop the scroll. Whether you're an agency owner, founder, or solo creator trying to turn LinkedIn into a lead machine, this is the playbook. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Post as much as is sustainable early on to gather data, then double down on what works ✅ Storytelling and a specific point of view beat generic "top 10 tips" content in the AI era ✅ Your profile is a landing page, not a CV — optimize the headline, banner, About, and Feature sections to convert ✅ Content is the engine of your pipeline: it generates intent signals from your ideal clients ✅ AI does the heavy lifting, but the ideas, perspective, and judgment have to come from you ✅ It's a long game — expect 3 to 6 months before real traction 🔗 Connect With Charlie Hills 🌐 Website: https://www.linked-agency.com/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-hills/ 📩 Newsletter: https://charliehills.substack.com/ 🔗 Connect With Vendasta 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendasta/ X: https://x.com/vendasta 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vendasta/ Thanks for listening!
