Episode notes
Free Test Built A Paying Business
- Danny built a voice agent for his barber for free and it immediately converted missed calls into bookings.
- That pilot turned into a business charging $2,500–$5,000 upfront plus monthly retainers.
Sell By Demoing Live In The Chair
- Demo voice agents live while you're sitting in the barber chair to close deals instantly.
- Prebuild or change the agent to their business name and call it in front of them as a sales tool.
Early-Window Opportunity Like Yelp
- Danny compares the current voice-agent window to early Yelp/Google Business Profile opportunities.
- These platform windows are short but can remain profitable for years if you act now.
