0:00Hey guys, what is up? It is Dominick and
0:01in this video we're going to be talking
0:03about GoHighLevel, of course, but more
0:05specifically I'm going to be breaking
0:06down what I would do if I needed my
0:09first ever client. Now, trying to get
0:12your first ever client on GoHighLevel is
0:14way different than trying to get your
0:16fifth, sixth, or seventh. And I'm going
0:18to explain why that is. I don't want
0:20anyone to get nervous and be like,
0:21"Okay, why is it different? Are you
0:23doing something different for this
0:24client than you are for the other
0:25clients?" Technically speaking, yes,
0:27sometimes. So, that's what I'm going to
0:29break down what I would do if I needed
0:30to get my first client, what you should
0:32do to get your first client ever on GHL
0:35because your first client can honestly
0:37make or break your entire business. So,
0:40let's get into it. Let's find out how to
0:42get your first client and exactly what
0:44you should do in order to achieve it.
0:46So, starting off, this video is not
0:48going to be a tutorial on GoHighLevel.
0:49I'm not going to break down what we're
0:50doing for that client in terms of AI
0:52studio or building their website or
0:54doing this. I'm going to tell you what
0:56to do for that client, but I'm not going
0:57to show you exactly how to do it. I have
0:58onboarding videos for all of that and I
1:00don't want to waste you guys' time. This
1:01video is specifically about that first
1:04client. How to define it, how to find
1:06them, what to say to them, and
1:07everything in between. So, first let's
1:09break down why is the first client so
1:12important? What makes the first client
1:14so vastly different than the second,
1:16third, or fourth? Well, for starters,
1:18it's your first real attempt at
1:20onboarding or using GoHighLevel. Like
1:22you can sit here and say, "Oh, I use
1:23GoHighLevel for my own account, blah
1:25blah blah." There is no better
1:26experience than actually onboarding a
1:29real-life client. When you have to get
1:31their information, plug it into GHL,
1:33make sure they sign up properly, make
1:34sure they're using it properly. That
1:36first client can sometimes scare a lot
1:37of agency owners away. They go, "Wow,
1:39this was a nightmare. This was way too
1:40hard. I don't want to do this ever
1:41again. You're telling me I have to do
1:42this 50 more times to make a living,
1:44yada yada yada." So, hopefully what this
1:46video does for you is number one, calms
1:48you down, takes away a lot of the fear
1:49of getting that first client, and
1:51understanding that the first client will
1:53be very different from the next ones
1:54that you you up. But, I also want you to
1:56understand why that first client is so
1:59important. So, not only does it teach
2:01you how to onboard with GHL, but it
2:03shows you all of the things that you
2:05don't want to do. That's how it was for
2:07me. My first client showed me so many
2:10things that I never wanted to do ever
2:13again because they were a nightmare.
2:14They were a pain to do. And then over
2:16time, my agency started adapting based
2:18off what I liked to do and based off
2:20what that first client liked me to do as
2:22well. So, that's why it's very important
2:24to understand that your first client's
2:25probably going to be your worst, but
2:27also your best in terms of what you're
2:30going to learn, how you're going to
2:31adapt, and how you're going to work way
2:33better with your second, third, and
2:34fourth. And I'm not sitting here saying
2:35your first client's going to leave you
2:36and it's going to be a disaster. I'm
2:38just telling you to try a lot of
2:40different things with that first client
2:41and do whatever they want you to do to
2:45an extent. Let me explain. So, first
2:47let's start off with how to get your
2:48first client in general. A lot of you
2:49guys might not have any word-of-mouth or
2:52anything like that. You're starting from
2:53scratch. You might be starting off in a
2:54town where you just moved to and you
2:56don't know anyone. So, for this example,
2:57let's say you have no word-of-mouth. You
2:59can't work with an aunt or an uncle or
3:01your parents or your boss. You have to
3:03start from complete scratch with zero
3:06connections and zero networking
3:07capabilities. If that's the case, we're
3:09probably going to go over to Google.
3:11Now, before I go to Google, I first have
3:13to break down what we're going to be
3:15looking for in Google because we have to
3:17find an industry to target. Now, yes, we
3:19can target multiple industries. I
3:20actually think you should target
3:21multiple industries. I do not recommend
3:23niching down, especially now that we
3:25have AI Studio, Ask AI, and everything
3:26with the AI world. Niching down kind of
3:29doesn't make any sense at all. However,
3:30I do think you should somewhat niche
3:32down into these 70 categories. So, if
3:35you're not going after companies that
3:36are in these 70 industries, then I
3:38probably recommend at least trying out
3:40one or two of these. And there's a ton
3:42of awesome ones in here. We've got
3:43carpenter, we've got cleaning services,
3:45electrician, fencing, flooring,
3:47foundation, pool cleaning, roof
3:49contractor, roof sewage system, snow
3:51removal, tree service, water damage,
3:52window cleaning, lawn care, locksmith.
3:54And then if you come up here, we have
3:55all the education, beauty school, dance
3:57instructor, driving instructor. We've
3:59got child care, funeral homes. Funeral
4:01homes make a ton of money. I know it's a
4:03little bit dark, but you could
4:04definitely nail some funeral homes in
4:05there, and I promise they will pay.
4:07Dental, I would actually stay away from
4:09dental. There's a lot of moving parts,
4:11and the software is just intense. We
4:12have a ton of different lawyers. I'm
4:14talking a ton. Bankruptcy lawyer,
4:16business lawyer, contract lawyer,
4:18criminal lawyer, DUI lawyer, et cetera.
4:19We also have finance, financial planner
4:21and tax specialist. We have real estate
4:23agents. So, we have a ton of different
4:25ones that we can target right here. Now,
4:26what exactly am I in? Why am I reading
4:28this list? What does this list even
4:29mean? This is the list of Google local
4:32service ads. This is the list of
4:34industries that qualify for Google local
4:37service ads. So, Google local service
4:39ads are basically Google ads on
4:41steroids. They're Google's newest,
4:42baddest, best version of running
4:45advertisements for small businesses. I'm
4:46not going to sit here and break down
4:47Google LSAs. I do that in multiple
4:49videos. I actually have a video coming
4:50up very soon where I set up an LSA
4:53specifically for a landscaping company
4:55that I actually just filmed for, and
4:57that video is going to be coming out
4:58very soon, too, of me filming for the
5:00company that I'm setting up the LSA for.
5:02So, stay tuned. A lot of really cool
5:04stuff coming. So, stay tuned. I might
5:06even give you a sneak peek of that at
5:07the end of this video. I don't know yet.
5:08But, I'll be honest, guys, if you follow
5:09me on Instagram, you probably already
5:11saw that I posted it. So, make sure to
5:12follow me on Instagram, and you'll see
5:13all of my promo videos that I do for
5:15these businesses, and that's kind of how
5:18I get in with them. That's why they
5:19trust me, and that's why they sign up
5:21with me so often. But, either way, let's
5:22move on. So, Google LSAs, absolutely
5:25incredible. You guys can set these up so
5:27easily. They're so much better than
5:28Facebook ads, literally in every way
5:30possible. So, that's why I only target
5:32industries that fall under one of these
5:34categories. So, that's rule number one.
5:36Now, the second step is to actually
5:38reach out to one of these companies and
5:39find one that needs our services. So,
5:41for this example, we could go after
5:43landscapers. Landscapers are, in my
5:45opinion, one of the easier industries to
5:47go after. They're very visual. I love
5:49companies that are visual. I love
5:51companies that photos go a long way,
5:53that videos go an even longer way
5:55because you truly see what their company
5:57does. For instance, lawyer, it's hard to
5:59film a lawyer. It's hard to take a photo
6:01of a lawyer and be like, that's a good
6:02lawyer. Lawyers are more individual
6:04based rather than landscapers, which is
6:06like project and service based where you
6:08can actually see the project being done.
6:09You're not even allowed to film in a
6:11courtroom, so it's hard to see a lawyer
6:12doing his work. You kind of just have to
6:14take his word on it. So, for that
6:15reason, let's look up landscapers in the
6:18area. So, we're going to go over to
6:19Google real quick and there are a couple
6:20methods that we can do. The first one we
6:22can just type in on Google right here. I
6:24typed in landscaper in Springfield,
6:26Illinois. That's where I'm currently
6:27looking. Obviously, you guys would put
6:29in yours. And so, as I scroll down,
6:31basically what I'm going to look for is
6:33landscapers that aren't necessarily
6:34running ads right now. If it says
6:36sponsored landscapers, that means
6:38they're running ads. So, a lot of these
6:39at the top are in fact running ads.
6:41We're going to click on more landscapers
6:43and keep scrolling outside of the
6:45sponsored. So, these are all the
6:46sponsored. So, we're probably not going
6:47to go after any of these sponsored
6:49landscapers. However, if we keep
6:51scrolling down here, we will find a lot
6:52that are not sponsored. So, we've got
6:54Greenview right here, 148 reviews. We're
6:56going to look at the reviews. 30
6:57reviews, 73. We're going to try to find
6:59one that doesn't have a lot of reviews.
7:00We're going to keep going down. Knob
7:02Hill Landscaping, that's a huge
7:04landscaping company. I know they don't
7:05have a lot of reviews, but I know for a
7:06fact they're huge. So, I'm definitely
7:07not going to go after them. Just keep
7:09going, keep going until you find one
7:10that you're like, okay, these people
7:12probably haven't done a lot with their
7:14website or haven't done a lot with their
7:15reviews and they most likely don't run
7:17ads at all. So, let's try Copper Tree
7:19Landscape. We're going to click on the
7:20website right here and okay, really
7:23beautiful photo, but the website is
7:25pretty boring. They've got a video right
7:27here, so I can tell they're trying. This
7:29is a company that's actually trying.
7:302013, all right, maybe their website is
7:33a little old. 2013 is crazy. That's a
7:36long time ago. So, yeah, something like
7:37this, we could definitely reach out.
7:39They've got their phone number right
7:40here. They've got their email right
7:41here. If they have a building suite D,
7:43we could probably even walk in and talk
7:45to somebody in person. So, there's a lot
7:46of different ways that we can reach out
7:47to Copper Tree Designs. Pretty
7:49beautiful. It seems like they have a
7:51beautiful portfolio here, and they do
7:53good work. We love companies that do
7:55really good work, but just cannot figure
7:57out the marketing side of things. So,
7:59for that reason, this is a pretty good
8:01example of someone that has an okay
8:03website, not a terrible one. They have
8:04no chat widget at the bottom right.
8:06They've got really nice photos, which we
8:07can totally use, and we could easily
8:10copy their entire website with these
8:11photos, take it into AI Studio, and make
8:13a way better website. That's what you
8:15could do to reach out to this person.
8:18Once again, I'm not doing that in this
8:19video. I do it in so many other videos.
8:21You can go watch them all on my YouTube
8:23channel. I'm just showing you guys how
8:24to get that first client. So, so that's
8:26the first step that I would do. I would
8:27go take this website, go into AI Studio,
8:29take all these photos, and I would make
8:31a much better, more beautiful website
8:33with a chat widget, and maybe even
8:35create like an AI bot for them as well.
8:36You don't have to do all of that, but
8:38this video is about getting your first
8:39client. One thing that I want to break
8:40down about getting that first client is
8:42being desperate for that first client is
8:44fine. I was very desperate for my first
8:46few clients, and it worked. I mean, I
8:48got the meetings. I got the clients. I
8:51got to work with them. I got to network
8:52with these multi-millionaires that I
8:54signed up because of how desperate that
8:56I was. I was building websites for free.
8:58I was doing so many things for them for
9:00free just to get the meeting. And a lot
9:02of people watching this are like, "No, I
9:03don't want to do anything for free. I
9:04never want to do anything for free. I'm
9:06in here to make money, blah, blah,
9:07blah." But, if you don't have your first
9:09client, you're already making $0 a
9:11month, then being desperate can work.
9:14And what I see from a lot of people when
9:16they're prospecting or pitching what
9:18they do is they'll come over into their
9:20GoHighLevel account, and they'll start
9:22naming off every single one of these.
9:24They'll be like, "Oh, we'll build your
9:25website. We'll do your SEO. We'll get
9:27you more reviews. We'll run your ads.
9:29We'll blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
9:30But, at the end of the day, when you are
9:32truly desperate for that first client,
9:35it's not about all the things that you
9:37can do for them. It's more so about what
9:39are their problems, what are the most
9:41annoying things that they don't want to
9:42do or can't figure out, and then you
9:44solve those problems, and then you're
9:46good. Your agency does not have to
9:47revolve around that. It's just about the
9:50learning experience. It's about working
9:52with that client. You may go, "Hey, this
9:54is not going to work out. I don't want
9:55to run your Facebook ads. I don't want
9:57to run your Google ads. I don't want to
9:58do all these things much later on." But,
10:00these are all things that I did in the
10:01beginning, and I do not regret it. I
10:03think I ended up pretty well. So, once
10:05again, desperation is fine. You can
10:07adapt later. Please remember that what
10:09you do for your first client does not
10:10have to be what you do for the rest of
10:12them. So, if I had to run Facebook ads
10:14for my first client, which I did, by the
10:15way, then that's what I'm going to do,
10:17cuz it's better than having no clients
10:18at all. And don't worry, guys, I show
10:19you how to run Facebook ads, too. Would
10:21I do it for client number two, three,
10:22four, and five? Absolutely not. But,
10:23would I do it in the beginning for
10:25client one? Yes, I'd do whatever I had
10:27to do. So, now we've broken down how to
10:29find that first potential client, which
10:31is super easy, by the way. Google just
10:33has so many potential clients,
10:34especially in your area. I always tell
10:36people to go local, go local, go local.
10:38It's so much easier. And there's another
10:40method that I use that I made a video on
10:41the other day. And that, my friends, is
10:43called Facebook ad library, where you
10:45can actually type in where you want to
10:48search anywhere in the country or even
10:51the world, possibly, and then just add
10:53in landscaping or whatever the industry
10:55is. So, I typed in Springfield, Illinois
10:56landscaping, and boom, check this out.
10:58It shows all the ads currently being run
11:00on Facebook for this industry in this
11:03town. This is super important. I can now
11:06watch these, break them down, and be
11:08like, "Whoa, this is not a good ad."
11:10Which, by the way, 99% of these ads are
11:12going to be horrendous. Business owners
11:14just don't know how to run good ads.
11:15They just don't know how to do it. I'll
11:16give you a perfect example. Wellman's
11:18Lawn Care. This is actually the lawn
11:20care company that I'm working with right
11:21now. I'm supposed to meet with Wellman's
11:23on Monday, and I just filmed two ads for
11:25them. Two ads I filmed completely for
11:27free. One of them is already on my
11:28YouTube channel. You can go see the
11:30entire video of me filming the ad. That
11:31is this video right here, how to get
11:33GoHighLevel clients full tutorial. I
11:35highly recommend this. It literally
11:37shows my point of view of me filming the
11:39entire ad. I don't just use a drone, by
11:41the way. I would say 90 to 95% of the
11:43time I'm just using my iPhone, but I
11:45highly recommend watching this video
11:46right here if you want to see exactly
11:48how I created the ad for Wellman's Lawn
11:51Care. But, let's go back and let's just
11:52watch their current ad. Let's watch the
11:55ad that made me realize they needed my
11:57help. So, let's press play.
12:03Oh, dear god.
12:09>> [sighs and gasps]
12:09>> I can't. I can't watch anymore, guys.
12:11It's too
12:13bad. That was actually one of the worst
12:15ads I've ever seen. I don't even know
12:17what I just watched. It looks like
12:19something a middle school would do for
12:21like an end of the year project. It was
12:23just photos put in with some annoying
12:26Facebook sound in the background. I'm
12:28going to have to show you guys what I
12:29did for this guy because my ads are just
12:32so much better. I actually filmed one,
12:34put it on Instagram already. In between
12:36Instagram and TikTok, it has almost
12:37100,000 views. I got them 100,000 views
12:41for free. And I'm not saying that to
12:42brag about, "Oh, look how good my ads
12:44are." It's just this guy right here,
12:46Wellman's Lawn Care. He wants to work
12:47with me now. Like, he wants to work with
12:50me. He wants me to do the website, all
12:51the automations, AI chatbots, and the
12:53ads. He wants me to do everything. So,
12:54if I was starting over from scratch and
12:55I needed my first client ever, you're
12:57telling me all I had to do was film for
12:59him for 1 day. It was only 1 day of
13:02filming, and then editing took like an
13:03hour and a half. I filmed myself editing
13:05it, too. Go watch that video. It's
13:07insane. And so, I edit the entire thing,
13:09and then I just send it back to him, and
13:10now he's like, "Well, yeah, we have to
13:12work together. This is crazy. This is
13:13better than any ad that I've ever had."
13:15So, that's just one way to be desperate,
13:17but not really, and to get any client
13:19that you want. And this is another
13:21really, really good form of prospecting.
13:23I love using Facebook ad library. It
13:25breaks down everything. I mean, you
13:26could just see the ads. I can't even
13:28believe this exists. That you can just
13:30spy on anyone's ads. It's kind of crazy.
13:32But, it's a great But, once again, great
13:34way to prospect. You guys need to be
13:35using Google and Facebook to prospect.
13:37You can also use Instagram. So, as you
13:39can see, I typed in junk removal in
13:40Springfield, Illinois, and I can go
13:42after any junk removal company inside of
13:44Springfield, Illinois that comes up.
13:46Obviously, a lot of these are not
13:47Springfield. 401 is not a Springfield
13:49area code. And Instagram, in my opinion,
13:50is not the best way to prospect. I think
13:52Google and Facebook are way better, but
13:54it's still an option. You can look them
13:55up and just try to find out more
13:56information about a company using
13:58Instagram. So, then what? What happens
14:00when you find the perfect client? You're
14:02like, "Okay, I found a client. I'm
14:03really happy with them. What do you do
14:05next?" Well, of course, the first thing
14:07is to reach out. But, if you have
14:08nothing to reach out with, then it
14:10becomes a little bit difficult. That's
14:11why I kind of tell you to create demo
14:13websites. You can use AI Studio to do
14:15that. Now, you can create entire demo
14:17websites in like 5 minutes. If you guys
14:19haven't watched one of my most recent
14:20videos, I highly recommend this one
14:22right here. Go HighLevel AI Studio
14:23prospecting cheat code where I build
14:25three websites at one time. This is a
14:27concept video, but I did it in real
14:29life, and it's super, super cool. You
14:31can genuinely build three, four, five,
14:33six different demo sites on one AI
14:36Studio prompt. Absolutely insane. So,
14:39you're not sitting here just making demo
14:41sites all day, wasting your time, and
14:42then having the company never respond to
14:44you. If they don't respond to you, who
14:45cares? Go to the next one. It doesn't
14:46matter anymore because AI Studio is so
14:48fast, so adaptable, so good that we can
14:51create these amazing AI demo sites, and
14:53then send them to the possible
14:55prospects. You can also do the website
14:56chat widget. You could do the AI You can
14:58do the AI chatbot, voicebot, whatever it
15:00is that you want, the forms that work.
15:01There's so many different methods that
15:03you can use if you wanted to prospect
15:05correctly. Another amazing prospecting
15:08tool, and I'm sorry, I have to plug
15:09myself real quick again, is if you use
15:11that link in the description below and
15:13become an affiliate of mine, you
15:14actually don't need to do a lot of
15:16prospecting work at all because I do it
15:19for you. Let me explain. You're going to
15:21get added to the high level AI SaaS lab
15:23where you get all of these amazing
15:25bonuses that are going to help you from
15:26start to finish on starting your agency
15:28and everything you need to know about Go
15:30High Level. But more importantly, what
15:31are you going to learn about
15:32prospecting? How does joining my
15:34affiliate program help you at all? Well,
15:36I'm glad you asked. If you scroll all
15:37the way down here, you can go to Dom's
15:38bonuses, click open, and this is where I
15:41create all my white label videos. So,
15:43what are white label videos and how can
15:45you use them to help you prospect? Well,
15:46for starters, a white label demo video
15:48is a video that I film without my face
15:50in it. It's just my voice, and I film an
15:51entire demo explaining exactly what
15:55you're doing, what you're selling,
15:56whether it's AI studio, whether it's a
15:58chat widget demo, whether it's AI voice
16:00bot demo, and I have a ton more demos
16:02coming out. But I explain exactly what
16:03we do so that you don't have to sit
16:05there and be like, "Uh, I sell this or I
16:07sell that." Just be like, "Hey, I've got
16:08a quick little demo for you. If you can
16:10just give me like 3 minutes and watch
16:11the video, it explains everything. It's
16:12better than me trying to explain it to
16:13you." And they'll be like, "Okay, let's
16:14watch the video." My demos have actually
16:16been proven to work very, very well over
16:18the last 4 years, and I've obviously
16:20updated them. These are all 100%
16:21updated, by the way. Updated exactly for
16:232026. You can use them right now today.
16:25They'll work great. And not only do I do
16:27demos, I also do promos, white labeled
16:30promos. You can send these to anyone
16:32that you want. So, pool cleaning promos,
16:34food service promos, waste management
16:36promos, power washing, dog grooming, car
16:37detailing, landscaping. I have another
16:39landscaping one coming out. I'm going to
16:40be doing junk removal. I have all these
16:42insane promos that I spent hours and
16:44hours out in the fields filming.
16:46Actually, like I filmed all of these
16:48myself. And then I edited all of them,
16:49and I white labeled them so that you
16:50guys can use them. There's nothing about
16:52Dominic Baptist in any of these videos.
16:55They're all white labeled. So, why does
16:57this help? Why does a dog grooming promo
16:59help you at all? Let's click on it real
17:01quick. If you live in Chandler, Arizona,
17:03or the surrounding area, and you're in
17:05need of pet grooming services, then you
17:06have got to check out Apple's Pet
17:08Boutique. They do every service you
17:10could ever imagine from the haircut to
17:11the full body wash, nail trimming, teeth
17:14brushing, shaving, and even fun custom
17:16hair colors. The owner of the boutique
17:17Apple is amazing.
17:19>> So, these are quick little promo videos
17:21that I created and I do it for all
17:23different types of videos. I got car
17:24detailing, landscaping, like I said. And
17:26I have some with captions, some without
17:28captions. You can adapt them, change the
17:30language from English to German,
17:31Italian, I don't care, whatever you want
17:33to do. You can literally download it
17:35right here. The files are right here.
17:36You download it, you're good. Super
17:37cool, super clean, and you just send
17:39them off to other dog groomers or other
17:41landscapers or other car detailers and
17:43you say, "This is the perfect example of
17:45an ad. This is what you're supposed to
17:47be doing with your company." And if you
17:48really want to wow them, just say, "I
17:50will make one for you just like this for
17:53free." And they're going to go, "What?
17:55That's insane." But that's that
17:57desperation thing I was telling you
17:58about. Being desperate can work to get
18:00that first client. I would 100% be
18:02filming for my first client. I did film
18:04for my first client. Like, anything you
18:05can do to get your first client, you
18:07should do. I'm not trying to toot my own
18:08horn, but I'm a multimillionaire and I
18:10still filmed all of these videos for
18:13free. So, you can't sit here and be
18:14like, "Well, I I don't want to do it for
18:15free. I'm you know, I deserve my time's
18:16more valuable than that." I'm a freaking
18:18millionaire and my time's not more
18:19valuable than that. I want to work with
18:21these people. I want to work with these
18:23companies. I want to network and I will
18:25still be desperate as a
18:27multimillionaire, I will still be
18:29desperate if it means I can get my foot
18:31in the door. So, if I'm willing to do
18:33it, you guys better be willing to do it,
18:35too. No excuses. This is my favorite
18:37method by far. I actually just got a
18:39comment just now on YouTube. I think I'm
18:41going to pull it up. I bet he's watching
18:42this right now, but it's a really,
18:43really cool comment. pull it up real
18:45quick. Check it out right here. The
18:46Crosby Show. He said, "Dom, I have
18:48commented on several of your videos. I
18:50watched maybe 50 of your videos before
18:51becoming an affiliate of yours. Thank
18:53you. I did significant research in how
18:55to do what you're doing. I'm pleased to
18:57say that with your help primarily, I
18:59have had four clients before coming out
19:01of my trial period." Absolutely amazing.
19:04Insane. He said, "I appreciate you more
19:05than you can know. Thanks for your
19:06videos. Thanks for your email support.
19:08Thanks for teaching me everything I know
19:09about GHL. Looking forward to growing my
19:11businesses." Unbelievable, I love
19:13comments like this. He is copying what
19:15I'm telling you guys to do because it
19:18literally works. I would not be here
19:21today if it didn't work. I hate when I'm
19:23telling you guys something and then you
19:24go try something way different because
19:25I'm just sitting here going, well, I
19:27mean, I'm giving you the blueprint, you
19:28just don't want to do it. So, thank you
19:30and shout out to the Crosby Show. I love
19:32watching people copy what I do. Copy me
19:34to an extent where you just get my
19:36stuff. That's why I give you my things.
19:38I give you my work. I literally give you
19:40my intellectual property for you to use
19:42in whatever way that you want. So, make
19:44sure you use that link in the
19:44description below and use my property.
19:46Either way, thank you, Crosby Show. 18
19:48minutes ago he just commented this. He's
19:49probably like, how did he already make a
19:51video on my comment? But, I'm quick with
19:53it, what can I say? So, now that we know
19:54to create a demo site or use any of my
19:57white label demos, we're going to send
19:59those to the client. And we saw on their
20:00website there's multiple different ways
20:02we can send them. I recommend even
20:03calling them, like, send it to them
20:05through email or something, wait like a
20:07day and then call them and say, "Hey, I
20:09sent you a really cool promo video. I'm
20:11in the area. I would love to film for
20:13you or I'd love to build you another
20:15site or this or that or something like
20:16that and show them what you do. That way
20:18it's not necessarily the coldest of
20:20calls of you being like, hey, do you
20:21need help with your website? Do you need
20:23this? I I hate that. Like, guys, I'll be
20:25honest, I hate it. I don't respond to
20:26those cold DMs. I don't respond to those
20:28cold calls at all. But, what I do
20:30respond to more is if they've already
20:32done something for me and they've sent
20:33it over to me because then I can go,
20:35"Okay, let me see your work. Let's see
20:36what you've done." Like, if someone says
20:37they want to be an editor for me, but
20:38they haven't edited anything, and I'm
20:40not seeing any demos, then no, you're
20:41not going to be an editor for me. If
20:42someone wants to do my thumbnails and
20:44they haven't shown me their thumbnails,
20:45no, you're not going to be a thumbnail
20:46designer for me. And same goes with Go
20:48High Level. If you can't show me a demo
20:49site, if you can't show me your work,
20:51you're probably not going to get the
20:52meeting. So, that's why it's very
20:53important to use my white label videos
20:55so they don't have to go create them
20:56yourself and just send them out and out
20:58and out. You can do this like 100 times
21:00a day, guys. You're going to get a call.
21:02And if you don't get a call, call them
21:03and just say, "Hey, did you get that
21:04demo I sent you?" I I really cool demos
21:06in Springfield, Illinois or I make
21:07really cool demos in Chicago, or
21:09wherever you're at, I don't know. And
21:10just be like, I would love to sit down
21:11with you for a second and just explain
21:13what I do, or just watch this video.
21:15It's 3 minutes long. It explains
21:16everything that I do. But mostly, we're
21:18just trying to dissect what our problems
21:19are and then solve them. That's all
21:21we're doing. It's not rocket science.
21:22It's actually pretty simple. It's just
21:24how do we get there? That's the
21:25question. And with every client, it's
21:27different. So, it's hard for me to just
21:28be like, this is what you do, X, Y, and
21:30Z, when every client is vastly
21:32different, when every client can be a
21:34little bit different. I would like to
21:35break down. It's very important to
21:36understand GHL, because if you don't
21:37understand GoHighLevel, then you're
21:39probably going to fail with that first
21:41client, and you definitely don't want to
21:42do that. I have a lot of crazy stories.
21:44I had horror stories with my first
21:46client. I had a moment with my first
21:47client where I sent a text message and
21:49something broke in the system like years
21:51and years and years ago. This is
21:52probably 4 and 1/2 years ago. And it
21:53sent out thousands of text messages that
21:56cost my client hundreds of dollars. And
21:58it just kept spamming text to like the
22:00same numbers. And I'm talking thousands,
22:02like 100 a second. It was like crazy.
22:05And I wasn't next to my computer, so I
22:06had to get on my phone, like turn my
22:08phone sideways, and log in to
22:09GoHighLevel because it doesn't optimize
22:11for mobile. Obviously, I couldn't do it
22:12on Lead Connector at the time. Times
22:14were way harder back then, guys. It was
22:15scary. So, I logged in, turned my phone
22:17sideways, and had to like log into the
22:18automation, unplug the entire system,
22:20and then my client was like, "What the
22:22heck happened? Why did it send so many
22:24texts? Why did I get charged like $400?"
22:26I was freaking out. That was a rough day
22:28in my agency life, and I could have
22:30easily quit. I could have easily said,
22:32"All right, well, that was fun. Let's
22:33move on to the next business model." But
22:34then, my life would not be where it is
22:36today. So, I'm glad that I didn't do
22:37that. have an affiliate named Preston
22:39Rhodes, who's one of my top students
22:41ever of all time. And he actually had
22:43one of the same things happen to him in
22:44his first client. His first client was a
22:45family friend, and he messed up
22:47something with the text messaging or
22:48whatever. And I think he sent a bunch of
22:50texts to the wrong people as well. And
22:51that family friend yelled at him and
22:53basically was like, "Hey, this isn't
22:54going to work out." And he lost his
22:55first client. And he almost quit. He was
22:57like, "Damn, I think I'm going to give
22:58up. I'm going to quit. This was
22:59embarrassing. It's hard for me to show
23:01my face to that family friend again and
23:03like I just didn't do what I thought I
23:04was going to do." And instead, he got
23:06back on the horse and he fixed the
23:08problem, he got another client, that
23:09never happened again because now he knew
23:11what went wrong and he fixed it. He
23:12ended up going on to build a very
23:14successful agency and now he's one of
23:16the top AI guys in the world on TikTok
23:19and he's got like 150 or 200,000
23:21followers now. It's insane. And that's
23:22the same kid that was freaking out on
23:24the phone to me in my garage. He was
23:26like, "Dude, I don't know what to do.
23:27What am I going to do?" And now he's,
23:28yeah, one of the top guys. So, hopefully
23:30that story makes you guys feel better if
23:32you had really tough times with your
23:34first client or if you think you're
23:36going to have tough times with your
23:36first client, it always happens. It
23:38happens to everybody, it happens to the
23:39best, it happens to the worst and you
23:41can overcome it, you can adapt, you just
23:43can't give up. I know it sounds corny,
23:45but mistakes make us a lot better
23:47because then we know what not to do and
23:49if we know what not to do 100 times in a
23:51row, then we're probably going to start
23:52perfecting our agency. So, that's kind
23:54of the point, that's what we're trying
23:55to do. So, be desperate, do whatever you
23:56have to do to get that client and then
23:58start building them kind of whatever
24:00they want. I know this all sounds crazy.
24:01This doesn't sound like a video that
24:03Dominic Baptist would usually make, but
24:04I keep seeing this time and time again.
24:05People who are struggling to get their
24:07first client and I always ask the same
24:08question, "Well, what's your pitch?" And
24:09their pitch is always the exact same.
24:11It's like, "Oh, I can give you
24:12reputation management, get your reviews
24:13up, I can build you a website, I can do
24:15this." And it's really frustrating for
24:16me because I know what you have to do in
24:19order to get that first success. Getting
24:21the first success is the hardest one by
24:23far. The second, third, and fourth are
24:25much easier because now you have proof
24:26of concept, you can go in and say, "Oh,
24:28well, we did this for this client. We
24:29did this for this client." this video we
24:31just did for that client. When they know
24:33you're working with other people, you
24:34become a hotter commodity. People want
24:36to work with you. It's harder to get
24:37work if you've never done work, if that
24:39makes sense. So, that's another reason
24:41why getting that first client is super,
24:42super important. And we have all these
24:44different things that we can do for
24:45them. So, as long as they have problems,
24:47which 99% of them are going to have a
24:49bunch of tech problems, we can solve
24:51those problems, we can work really,
24:52really hard with that company, be super
24:54hands-on, get them set up, and then
24:56boom, move on. That's the point that I'm
24:58trying to make with this video. That's
24:59why I didn't go into specifics like,
25:01okay, we're going to build a website,
25:02then an AI agent, then we're going to go
25:03to AI studio, then we're going to go to
25:04the calendars tab, because there is no
25:06specifics here. Being specific is what
25:08shot us in the foot in the first place.
25:10Don't be specific. Ask them questions.
25:12What do they need? Yes, we can guide
25:14them there. We can see on their website
25:16that they need a lot of features. I
25:17didn't even see their form. Let's go to
25:19contact. I mean, yeah, this form I
25:21highly doubt if I ever filled out this
25:23form, I would get a text message. I can
25:24almost guarantee I won't get a text
25:26message. I would be shocked if I did.
25:28But, this is another thing that you can
25:29do. Fill this out with your actual name,
25:31your actual address, email. Wait a
25:33minute, there is no text message Wait a
25:34minute, there is no phone number even
25:36available. Of course, I won't get a text
25:37message. That's huge. I can easily
25:39submit an email right here, submit it
25:40right there, and then I can try to reach
25:42out on the phone number, like actually
25:43call them, which should be down here,
25:45this number right here, and say, "Hey, I
25:47noticed your form doesn't have text
25:48messaging. Is there a reason for that?"
25:49And they're going to say, "Yeah, we
25:50don't know how to do it." Because you
25:51have to be A2P approved and a lot of
25:53other stuff. And then you can go, "Well,
25:54let's get you text messaging. It's
25:55insanely important. You do not want to
25:56miss out on that." So, that's another
25:58huge angle that you can take based off
26:01just looking at their website. And then,
26:02of course, yeah, the chat widget at the
26:03bottom, they need that, too. It seems
26:05like they're trying to connect to all
26:06these other social medias. It looks like
26:08they have Instagram. I mean, I can click
26:09and see what happens. Yeah, they have
26:10Instagram. These are some beautiful
26:12photos. I like their photos a lot, but
26:13are there any videos in here? It doesn't
26:15look like there's a lot of videos, but I
26:16would say they have an aesthetically
26:17pleasing Instagram. This is okay. I just
26:19know that they need a lot of help, and
26:21we can help. So, there you go. And then
26:23going into the aspiration thing, and
26:26what you can do for a company like this
26:27is yes, we can run Google Local Service
26:30Ads. We have landscaper in here. So, we
26:32can run Google Local Service Ads for
26:34them, which is going to get them way
26:35more customers, and it's going to get
26:37them qualified customers. It's also
26:38super, super easy to set up. Go watch my
26:40video on it if you haven't yet. And I
26:42have one coming out where I set up a
26:43real company. I already told you that.
26:44But, that's kind of my point. If you can
26:45set these things up, if you can actually
26:47do the top of the top services, they're
26:50going to recommend you, and it's going
26:52to be a domino effect, especially in a
26:55town under like 300,000 population.
26:57Everybody knows everybody, they all talk
26:59about everything. So, you're going to
27:00get that word of mouth movement, and
27:02people are going to start to find out
27:04who you are and what you do. Trust me, I
27:05know, I've been there. So, that's why I
27:07like LSAs. Facebook ads, a little bit
27:09more difficult to do, but if you can do
27:11them, I recommend doing them only for
27:13that first or second client. I would not
27:15recommend building an entire agency off
27:17of it. That would be a nightmare. I know
27:18a lot of people that do run successful
27:19agencies while running Facebook ads for
27:21their companies, but personally, I would
27:22only run Facebook ads if I owned the
27:25company. Maybe that's selfish of me, but
27:26I'm just trying to look out for you
27:27guys. Now, Google LSAs, way easier to
27:30set up, way easier to maintain, and you
27:31don't have to have creatives. Creatives
27:33are like videos and photos. You don't
27:35have to have them. So, that's why I like
27:36these, and I don't have to rely on the
27:38customer as much. If I have to rely on
27:39the client, like on Facebook ads, I have
27:41to rely on the client a lot. And for
27:42that reason, I don't like it. Anytime I
27:44have to rely on the client to do
27:45something over and over again, red
27:47freaking flag. As long as I can do it on
27:49my end, and I'm responsible for what
27:51happens on my end, I'm happy. So, there
27:53you go. I broke down as much as I
27:54possibly can in terms of being
27:56desperate, getting that first client,
27:57what to do, how to find them. Ask them
27:59questions, ask them what they need, what
28:01they want. I showed you guys how to join
28:02my affiliate program using that link in
28:04the description below. You can also
28:05upgrade with us. And I am very excited
28:07to announce the summer of AI promo. So,
28:11I have a lot to break down in a very
28:13short amount of time, so let me be
28:14quick. Basically, Go High Level is doing
28:16their biggest summer announcement ever.
28:18Three months. We've got June, July, and
28:21August all breaking down the three main
28:23AI features in Go High Level. So, for
28:25June, it's going to be the conversation
28:28AI bot. As you can see right here,
28:29conversation AI. I've made a ton of
28:31videos on this, but this is going to be
28:33one of the biggest sellers in all of
28:35GHL, in all of the agency space. Every
28:38single small business is going to have
28:39some type of conversation AI bot in the
28:42future. You might as well be the one to
28:43sell them that. And then after June's
28:45big promo for conversation AI, the
28:47second big promo for July is going to be
28:51voice AI. As you can see right here, I
28:53am in the voice AI section. Looks a
28:55little bit scary, but it's not. It's
28:57super easy to set up, and I give you all
28:59the prompts, guys. If you use my link,
29:01then you get every single prompt. You
29:03don't have to do any of this. And once
29:05the voice AI bot is trained, you can set
29:07it up directly in your Go High Level
29:08account. You can put it on a chat
29:09widget, do whatever you want, and you've
29:11got a voice AI bot that can answer all
29:13questions, set up appointments, do
29:14whatever you needed to do for that
29:16business or for you. So, that's July.
29:18July is going to be all about voice AI.
29:20And then finally, August to finish it
29:22off, round off summer of AI, yours truly
29:25is hosting the entire event, Dominic
29:28Baptist, me. I'm going to be hosting the
29:30summer of AI August promo for AI Studio.
29:34Yes, I am hosting the AI Studio event,
29:37the workshop for Go High Level, and this
29:40is one of the biggest promos you're ever
29:42going to see in all of GHL, and that is
29:44August AI Studio. So, stay tuned. Do not
29:48miss any of this, and I know what you're
29:49wondering. Okay, what are we getting?
29:51What is happening? Why is this so
29:52important, and do we get a discount?
29:54Well, of course you get a discount. So,

30:17this summer with all of these amazing
30:19promos, these bonuses, everything that
30:21you get when you use my link, which I'm
30:22going to break down in a second, but
30:24you're getting 50% off. Now, there's
30:25only a certain amount of window of time
30:27where you can get the 50% off, and that

31:04me, if you guys use my link because this

31:20of his bonuses plus all of my bonuses,
31:22and you're going to be here for hours
31:24because it's a lot of bonuses. I don't
31:26even think I can break it all down in
31:27this video. But basically, anything that
31:29you need to learn for GoHighLevel,
31:31getting started, how to get clients,
31:32snapshots that you might want, sales
31:34scripts, AI prompts, trust me, you're
31:36going to need these. And then most
31:37importantly, guys, Dom's bonus section
31:39right here. I am very proud of my bonus
31:42section. I specifically work with
31:45white-labeled content. I think that's my
31:47best character trait right now, is that
31:49I'm pretty good at making these type of
31:50videos. I'm pretty good at making demos
31:52and promos. And so, I make sure my
31:55affiliates get to use everything that I
31:57make so they don't have to go and make
31:58it themselves. So basically, all you
31:59have to do is take these videos that
32:01I've already made, I've already
32:02white-labeled, and you just send them to
32:05your leads. And I will close the deal
32:07for you. Whether it's AI Studio, whether
32:09it's Chat Widget, whether you're selling
32:10AI Voice Bot, whether you want to work
32:12with landscapers, car detailers, dog
32:14groomers, power washing companies, I
32:15don't care. I've made promos for so many
32:18different companies, and I've
32:19white-labeled them and given them to
32:21you. Super cool. I highly recommend
32:22checking these out, but you can only do
32:24that if you use that link in the
32:25description below. Either way, I'm super
32:27excited for everything that's coming
32:28this summer. I'm super excited to be
32:30hosting my own workshop with GoHighLevel
32:32for AI Studio. AI Studio is the best,
32:34guys. It's one of the best features I've
32:35ever seen in all of GHL. And if you
32:37don't know what it is, you need to go to
32:38my YouTube channel right now because I
32:40make videos on AI studio all the time.
32:44It's changing the way that we run our
32:46agency. It's changing the way that
32:47businesses run their business, and it's
32:49transforming the entire industry itself.
32:52So, I'm very proud that I get to be
32:53headlining the AI studio events. I'm
32:55very proud of the entire summer of AI. I
32:57can't wait to see what happens, and I'm

33:00amazing bonuses. So, once again, use
33:02that link. Make sure you're within the
