How can I create a specific, scalable offer or value proposition for my custom consulting and development shop that works across any industry?

We already work with any industry on anything they need—AI systems, business software, automations. The simplest way to start productizing is not to invent a new service, but to look at what you’ve already delivered that clients liked and double down on that. Make a list of every project you’ve done over the past year, pull the email threads, project files, and note the industries and types of work. Patterns will emerge: you’ll see which systems you built most often and, more importantly, which ones generated the most revenue. Use that data to decide which services to package. Then, reach out to the clients you built those high‑value systems for, remind them of the results, and ask for referrals and repeat business. Reactivating past clients is a low‑effort way to generate upsells—typically a 3‑4% uptake rate, and I’ve seen 15‑20% when I first started. Identify the most profitable, least time‑intensive product you’ve created—often an automated follow‑up agent or similar—and turn it into a repeatable checklist or product. Streamline the delivery: ask if you really need three discovery calls or if a single call or a form will suffice, reducing time investment and allowing you to raise prices, which is pure leverage. In short, catalog your past work, find the high‑margin, low‑effort services, market them to similar clients, reactivate old customers, and refine the process into a sellable product.

How can I acquire my first customer and scale my viral social media tool, and what social media ad and marketing strategies should I use?

I don’t know the specifics of your product, but mimicking what’s working for others is a reasonable first step. The tactics I use in my own social‑media advertising involve spending a lot of money for time, which isn’t ideal for you because you have plenty of time but limited cash. Instead of giving you a detailed walk‑through of my exact methods, let’s look at your situation more generally. You’ve spent a lot of time building a tool that helps people go viral. The usual approach is to keep investing time and money into the product and then hope marketing will magically work later. That’s the opposite of what you should do. It’s far more effective to start by marketing and selling, then build the product only after you’ve validated demand. If you begin with demand, you’ll already have customers and a clear idea of what they actually want when you finally create the tool. Rather than building a big inbound funnel for a product that might become obsolete, reach out directly to potential users. Pitch hypothetical offers or tools you could build if they show interest. For example, you could say, “Hey, I’m transitioning to software and think I could save you $10‑15k a month with a tool that does X, Y, Z. Would you be interested in a free version?” If they say yes, you have validation without even having a finished product. Modern AI lets you build functional tools quickly, so you can test ideas fast. My recommendation: focus all your time and energy on marketing first. Validate the product through outbound outreach. If validation fails, iterate and try a new idea. This outbound‑first approach is the 80/20 play many high‑growth agencies use today, especially with AI accelerating development. In practice, avoid inbound because it’s undirected and slow to show ROI. Set a target number of outreach contacts and define clear exit conditions—e.g., at least five booked meetings from a thousand messages. If you hit those metrics, then you proceed to build the product. Remember, you can market and sell an idea without a finished product; you just need a compelling concept and a way to communicate it.

Could you give me an insight or framework you use when mapping processes to automate or optimize for a client on a discovery call?

The first thing I do is ask the client to walk me through all of their existing processes. I then focus on the steps that actually move revenue, not the ones they think matter but don’t. I map the entire customer journey—from the very first touch point (whether it’s an ad, email, referral, DM, or social post) through every interaction until the engagement ends. I look at what I’m sending the client, how I manage the relationship, and the actions that directly drive revenue. I keep the 80/20 principle in mind, concentrating on the customer’s experience and the revenue‑generating activities. Once that core journey is clear, I add admin, logistical, and other automations as needed, and then look for automation opportunities that help with reach, acquisition, conversion, closing, or long‑term re‑activation.

What are you doing with Left Click right now, and what offers are actually selling? I'm guessing most of your client acquisition comes through your personal brand rather than needing a cold-traffic-friendly offer — what does the split of work look like (ops, GTM, etc.), and is it mostly online businesses/agencies?

Right now the offers that work are training/upskilling/workshops — getting businesses up and running with Claude Code specifically, including how to manage shared skills within it, since Claude Code is exciting to people but often outside their day-to-day skillset. For a meat-processing/distribution client specifically, we built an ERP-style inventory system with a lightweight AI layer that progressively takes over more of inventory management over time. You're right that the vast majority of my work these days isn't from cold traffic — I don't have a fixed set of offers right now, though I'd like to as I want to scale Left Click past $250K/month. Currently we're working with a few big names (e.g. Mr. Beast) and most of my time goes there, so it's mostly consultation. I also have team members now: Cody McLean handles a lot of the consultation/sales side (case studies with the government of California, Lululemon, etc.), and my business partner Geo leads the technical/dev side at Clear Vero. It would help my time efficiency to sell a simple productized package to small-to-mid businesses, but the current split leans toward larger clients for leverage reasons. We're actually spinning up a cold-traffic offer in the next few days, testing Instantly's new Airmail mailboxes through Left Click, to see how that performs.

I work with a digital marketing agency that wants to add an AI chatbot to a client's website, but the site gets little organic traffic. Is it worth implementing the chatbot, or should we first focus on getting traffic to the site?

What a great question. This is more a consulting and strategy perspective than a building one. Naturally, if you're trying to make more money and thinking, 'Ooh, what's a way to make more money? I know AI is all the rage—maybe we'll add an AI chatbot to our website,' but if the chatbot doesn't talk to anybody, it won't make you more money. You've stumbled on a universal problem for many service businesses: they just don't have any leads. The real point of value, the bottleneck you could fix, is usually lead generation. I don't know how many people visit their site daily, monthly, or yearly, so it's hard to suggest exactly what to do next, but you're on the right track. The usual thinking is: get leads first, then worry about optimizing how you deal with them, nurture them, and improve conversion rates later. In your opinion, what's the best automation to sell? Could you make a video on it? The best automation to sell is something that increases or encourages lead generation, which we discussed. One of the main systems I sell is a cold outreach system where I build distribution for someone from scratch for about $200–$300 a month ongoing. They start with zero leads in their pipeline—usually an agency—and after the system is set up, they get roughly 30 leads per month that want to book calls. This is a game-changer and easy to justify as an investment for companies whose bottleneck is lead generation, like most businesses under $50k–$100k per month in revenue. Think of it this way: I'm solving their most dire problem—no leads entering the business. I charge them $3,000–$4,000 a month, which is fine because without me they wouldn't even have a business making more than $3k–$4k a month. In my experience, the best automations to sell for small to mid-sized businesses are those that help the top of the funnel. If they already have an outbound system but aren't getting many leads, I'd recommend a speed-to-lead system. Anything close to the top of the funnel—whether outbound or inbound—helps a lot, and that's what I'd recommend.
