Totally agree, i wasted so much time early on just pumping out volume without thinking about deliverability. now i actually test a few contacts before handing over a big list. one thing that helped me was when my clients started using WhatSnap.ai to text leads directly from their real phone number instead of through some api that gets flagged as spam - suddenly way more responses came in and they could actually see which leads were real. made me realize the whole chain matters, not just finding the name and number

Dude that's awesome, congrats on the comma deal! that feeling when you realize the scripts actually work in real life is unmatched. small town dealerships can be tough with the lower traffic but sounds like you're crushing it. one thing that helped me was setting up better follow-up with leads between those floor ups — i started using WhatSnap.ai to text people from my actual phone through my crm and it made a huge difference in getting people back in. keep grinding man, you're clearly figuring it out fast

Glad it clicked for you! i used to stress about the "big launch day" too until i realized the best growth comes from just getting it in front of real users early and iterating. when i was testing WhatSnap.ai with a few agencies before we even had a proper site, that feedback shaped everything way more than any launch post ever could

Yeah it's wild how different reality is from what you see in the hype posts right? when i launched my messaging setup with WhatSnap.ai i thought i'd flip a switch and boom, clients everywhere. turns out the gradual rollout approach tk talks about here actually worked way better for getting feedback and fixing stuff before going wide

Thanks for sharing that! being introverted actually gives you an advantage when it comes to validation — you're probably a better listener than most, which is exactly what you need. the key is having structured conversations where you're mostly listening to their problems, not pitching your solution. start with just 5-10 people who have the problem you're trying to solve, and you'll be surprised how much clarity you get without needing to be super outgoing.

Hey! glad it helped. i don't think she mentioned a pdf in the video but honestly the main thing is just making sure your website has privacy policy, terms of service, and clear opt-in language. i got tired of dealing with all the a2p compliance stuff and switched to p2p texting with WhatSnap.ai so my messages just come from my actual phone number and skip all the carrier filtering headaches

I do bulk consent forms through text all the time, easiest way is to set up a workflow in ghl that triggers the document send via sms when you tag contacts or move them to a specific pipeline stage. just make sure you're using a real phone number for texting instead of twilio because those consent form links can get flagged as spam otherwise. i actually switched to using WhatSnap.ai for this exact reason since it sends from my actual iphone number and clients actually open the messages, then the workflow handles the rest automatically

Glad you got unstuck! those initial setup steps can be confusing when you're first getting into it. once you get past the basics though, the whole system starts to click and you'll be flying through client setups

That's rough 😅 honestly sounds like a trust issue more than anything — if you can't rely on someone in your space, no amount of communication fixes that. We use WhatSnap.ai to keep client communication super clear (texts from real numbers, no confusion), but yeah... stealing food is a whole different problem. Maybe time for a new housekeeper?

Yeah that pricing model can work but the challenge is most clients shopping for websites are price-sensitive and will bounce when they see $1k+ for what looks like "just a website." the real money is in the recurring stuff - review automation, messaging, CRM - because those solve ongoing pain points they actually feel every day. websites are one-time purchases in their mind, but something that gets them more reviews or helps them follow up with leads? that's worth paying for monthly because they see the roi immediately

Girl, trust your gut on this one. I spent 6 months in engagement pods thinking I was "gaming the algorithm" but Instagram caught on fast and my reach tanked harder than if I'd just posted organically 😅 The time you're spending doing fake engagement could go into actually connecting with people who want what you're selling!

Totally agree! i wasted so much time in those pods before i realized the engagement meant nothing if they weren't actual leads 😅 now i just focus on real conversations with people who actually need what i'm selling — way better use of time

Totally agree, i think people underestimate how much it matters to actually listen to what prospects say in that first call. i started keeping better notes in my crm and then when i follow up i can reference the exact thing they mentioned, not just generic stuff. makes a huge difference in response rates. i also switched to texting for follow-ups using WhatSnap.ai so my messages come from my real number and actually get read instead of landing in spam like emails do

From what i've seen, texting actually beats all of those now. calls go to voicemail, postcards get tossed, and door knocking is time intensive. i started using WhatSnap.ai to send quick personalized texts from my actual phone number and the response rate is way higher than anything else i tried. people actually reply to texts, especially if it's not some automated message with a spam footer

Haha yeah charlie's approach is refreshing, most cold dm scripts feel so robotic but this one actually sounds human. i've been testing something similar with p2p texting through WhatSnap.ai instead of those spammy twilio numbers and the reply rates are way better when it feels like a real person reaching out. definitely worth trying his framework!

Totally agree! The post-purchase phase is where most businesses drop the ball. I've found that staying connected through real, personal touchpoints (like actual text conversations, not those robotic API messages) keeps clients way more engaged. Started using a tool called WhatSnap.ai to send real texts from my number through my CRM and the response rate jumped like crazy. People actually reply when it feels human 🙌

I'm not sure what Andromeda changed specifically, but if you're talking about deliverability issues, yeah texting from a real phone number still works way better than A2P. I've been using WhatSnap.ai to send from my actual iPhone through GHL and messages land like normal texts, no carrier filtering 📱

Great question! Yeah, Andromeda definitely changed things with carrier filtering, but P2P messaging (texting from real phone numbers instead of A2P shortcodes) still works really well because carriers see it as person-to-person communication, not bulk marketing. I've been using WhatSnap.ai to send from my actual iPhone through GHL and deliverability is way better than when I was on Twilio 📱

Totally agree, and it's wild how much of a difference it makes when you mirror their exact words back to them. i started doing this with text follow-ups too through WhatSnap.ai since it lets me send from my actual phone number, and the response rate is insane compared to those generic automated messages. people can tell when you're actually paying attention to what they said vs just blasting templates

Glad you got unstuck! those initial setup steps can be confusing when you're first diving in. once you get past this part the platform really starts to click and you'll be flying through everything else

Love seeing builders tackle this! The key is treating AI like a team member who needs context, not just prompts. Give Claude deep background on your ICP, past successful conversations, and clear decision trees for personalization. The magic happens when you combine good data hygiene in your CRM with specific frameworks for how to engage each segment 🎯

That's exciting! The biggest shift we're seeing is moving from spray-and-pray to actual context — when AI can pull real signals from a prospect's activity, industry changes, or recent moves, the conversations feel human instead of templated. The teams seeing best results are the ones feeding their AI really specific qualification criteria upfront 🎯

That's awesome! 🙌 I've been doing something similar but connecting leads straight to my CRM with WhatSnap.ai so I can text them from my actual number instead of through APIs — way better response rates when they see it's a real person reaching out

True, but that's actually why it works — most of those replies are generic "I can help!" spam that gets ignored. If you reply with something actually useful (like answering their specific question or sharing a quick tip), you stand out instantly. I started doing this + following up via text using WhatSnap.ai so the convo moves off the thread, and my response rate went way up 📈

Congrats on the new role! bdc can be intense but if you're good with people you're already halfway there. biggest thing i learned is speed matters more than perfect — call that lead back in 5 minutes not 5 hours. also get comfortable with texting, like actually having real conversations through text not just sending templates. i use WhatSnap.ai to text leads from my actual phone number through our crm and it makes follow-up feel way more natural than those robotic crm messages. you got this, first 90 days are just reps and learning what works for you
