I asked Codex to make me as much money as possible

I asked Codex to make me as much money as possible Speaker 2: In less than 30 minutes, I use voice mode inside Codex to go from zero business to fully fleshed out idea, packaged AI service, a working website, and a list of 10 local businesses that I could walk into and pitch this service to today. I did not plan this idea ahead of time. I didn't even type a single prompt. I literally just had a voice conversation with Codex while it helped me choose the service, it helped me shape the offer, it built the website and researched prospects near me. I'm going to show you that entire process including what Codex got right, where I had to steer it, and whether the final business is something a non-technical operator could realistically sell. So let's start with a blank slate. So we're going to be using voice mode inside Codex to have a real conversation with Codex to find us a business idea, build the offer, find us clients, literally take us from idea to working offer. And the goal is about 30 minutes. Now, I have nothing pre-planned here. I'm literally going off the hip. I have no idea what rabbit hole we're going to go down and what this is going to turn into. This will just be a fun experiment to show you guys how simple it is to have an idea and turn it into an actual product slash offer. In no time, so let's fire up Codex here. We're going to come down here to the voice chat function. Hey Codex, so we're going to work for the next few minutes on, I want you to help me come up with a business idea. Now, this needs to be a business idea that Someone like me who's completely non-technical can implement and I want it to be an idea around helping local businesses or basically selling AI services in some way shape or form. I have no idea what that's going to look like, so I want you to help me one, come up with the idea. Once we decide on the idea, then I want you to help me build out all my business assets, so like my website, my landing page, The actual offer itself, so what exactly it is that I'm going to be selling, and from there, once we come up with what I'm going to be selling and the offer, then we're going to have you go out and find leads, go out and find clients that I can contact and sell this offer to. So let's start with the business idea itself. Help me come up with a good idea that someone who doesn't have a ton of experience, who's non-technical can start making money selling AI services. And I want this to be something that I can scale to big numbers if I want to, but it's also relatively easy to start. Speaker 1: Let's map that out. Start with an AI appointment recovery service for one local niche. You set up instant texts to missed calls and web inquiries, plus AI follow-ups until they book. It's easy to explain, high-value and repeatable. Would you rather target home services or appointment-based businesses like med spas and dentists? Speaker 2: So I like that idea. Give me a few more ideas. I want to maybe have like five total ideas and I can pick my favorite from those five. That's a really good one because I think the value is clear to the client, but give me a few more ideas. Speaker 1: Sure, let's explore some options. I've drafted five service ideas around clear outcomes. Appointment recovery, review growth, local content engine, estimate follow-up, and a simple front desk chat assistant. The first two tie most directly to revenue, which usually makes them the easiest to sell. Which one feels strongest to you? Speaker 2: So I like the appointment recovery. So basically you're saying the appointment recovery system is what we're selling is instant replies and follow-up texts for missed calls and new inquiries aimed at booking appointments. So basically that's like a speed to lead system. And then the review growth system is automated personalized review requests after a completed job or visit plus responses to new reviews. Is it possible for us to Like maybe bundle that into one service because my goal with what we're selling is we need to create an irresistible offer. So I want you to do some research around Alex Hormozi's book titled $100 Million Offers and use the concepts and frameworks in that book to come up with an offer that's so good, it's so strong, customers would feel stupid saying no to. So take those frameworks and those principles and apply it to either the appointment recovery service or the review growth system or some combination of the two. Speaker 1: Let's work through that carefully. These fit well together as one system. Capture every lead, then turn happy customers into reviews and referrals. Let me put the offer together now. Yes, bundle them. Position it as a local growth recovery system. Turn missed calls and new inquiries into booked appointments, and turn completed customers into reviews. Live in seven days, done for you, and guaranteed around what you control. That's the version I'd build around. Speaker 2: Okay, so what's the actual offer itself, right? So if that's the idea that we're going to go with, help me come up with the offer. When I mean the offer, when I'm talking to a customer, the offer is the, here's what you're going to get and all the bullet points of everything you actually get. So walk through that with me and let's try to keep it as simple as possible. I don't want to have to learn a bunch of new software tools. I want this to be something that we can either build inside Codex or something that's going to be relatively easy to implement for them. Speaker 1: Let's keep that simple and concrete. The offer is your local lead and reputation engine. We turn missed calls and new inquiries into booked appointments and turn completed customers into more five-star reviews without adding work for their team. It includes an instant text back for missed calls, immediate follow-up for web and social leads, a simple booking flow, and automated review requests after each job. Plus a monthly scorecard. You set it all up and manage it. Live in seven days or the setup fee is refunded. Speaker 2: And how much are we charging for the setup fee? What are we pricing this at to make it an irresistible offer? Are we pricing this like they pay per lead? Are they paying a monthly retainer? How are we setting this up? Speaker 1: Let's pin down the pricing model. Start simple with a one-time setup plus a monthly fee. For founding clients, $750 setup and $500 a month. Cancel any time after 90 days. Then, once you've got proof, raise it to $1,500 to $2,500 setup and $750 to $1,250 monthly. Don't do pre-lead yet. Keep it predictable and easy to say yes to. Speaker 2: Okay, so we've got our idea. We've got our offer. What's my pitch? Like what's my one-liner when I go to it? Let's say I'm going into a local business. I'm walking in the door and pitching this service. What am I telling them they're going to get exactly step-by-step? Like say it to me out loud. Speaker 1: Here's a clean one-liner. We help local businesses turn missed calls and new inquiries into booked appointments and automatically turn happy customers into five-star reviews without adding work for your team. Then, in three steps. First, we install a missed call text back and instant follow-up so every lead gets a fast response. Second, we set up a simple booking flow and reminders so more people actually book. Third, after each job, we automate review requests to boost your Google rating. We set it up in seven days and manage it. Guaranteed. Speaker 2: Okay, I like it. That's actually pretty strong. Now, what's the tech stack? Like, what are we going to have to set up for them in terms of technology? One of my concerns is that I don't want to have to set them up on a tech stack that they're not used to and that they, you know, might feel some friction around using, but I guess if we're managing the whole thing for them, they're not actually having to use the tech. Is that correct? And then tell me what exactly we'd be installing for them. Speaker 1: Let's sort that out. You're right to minimize friction. They keep their current in sight while we run the system behind the scenes. You'd typically install one platform like GoHighLevel as the back-end layer connected to their number and forms. What you've set up is a missed call text, a shared inbox for new leads, simple booking link connection, and review requests via text with their Google link. They just answer hot leads and mark jobs complete. You handle the tech, they keep their habits. Speaker 2: Okay, now if they're already using it, I like the idea of GoHighLevel. I think that's the best option here. What if they're already using a different CRM? Do we have to work around that or can we set up GHL in addition to that? Give me some feedback there. Speaker 1: Let's think that through. You can usually add it on top, but the easiest clients first are those without a real CRM or barely use it. Your line is we don't replace your systems. We add a managed response and review layer around them. If they're advanced, integrate lightly or skip to Marleone. Target the ones where this slots in cleanly. Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that makes sense because I think people would be shocked to know how many businesses, even big ones, are not using a CRM at all. So I don't think it's going to be crazy for us to find a business that has this need and is not using a CRM and so we can go and set that up for them via GoHighLevel. I think that's a great idea. So, okay, so we're on the same page. Summarize where we are so far. Summarize what we have so far and then let's keep moving through the process. Speaker 1: Click Recap. We're selling a local lead and reputation engine that turns missed calls and new inquiries into booked appointments and automatically asks for reviews after the job. The offer includes instant text back, speed to lead follow-up, booking link, review requests, and a monthly scorecard, live in seven days. Pricing starts at $750 setup and $500 monthly for founding clients, then goes up. We run it in GoHighLevel behind the scenes, without replacing their CRM. Pitch, we capture the leads you're already getting, book more of them, and boost to reviews, done for you. Next, do you want the outreach script or the first target list next? Speaker 2: Let's first build a website for this business using Codex Sites. I want you to mock up just a simple one or two page website that just says, Who we are, what we do, you know, keep it simple and use your judgment as far as like naming the business. I'm not too concerned with the name of the business, but I want it to be simple, sleek, aesthetically pleasing, something that if a client lands on our website, they're going to feel like we're professionals. And then once you've built that out, then I'm going to have you look up our first batch of leads so that we can either call them or go directly into their business and pitch them on this service. Speaker 1: Let's put that together. Speaker 2: All right, so I've got my microphone muted for Codex while it's going to build that out. It's probably going to take a few minutes to build that. But one reason I love doing this inside Codex is because they have their Codex Sites feature, which is basically a... Speaker 1: I'm keeping it clean and conversion focused. Brand is signal local with a clear promise and one call to action. Speaker 2: Okay, I don't hate that. Signal local, that's not terrible. But again, it's gonna build out our website on top of Codex sites, which is gonna give us a link that will link directly to our website. And then if and when we're ready to put it on our real domain, like let's say we buy signallocal.com, then we can very easily switch it from a Codex site to our domain. And it's just gonna live in Codex for the time being. And the Codex sites that I've built thus far are really slick. So it does a great job with these typically. We'll see what it builds. I'm going to pause and come back once it's ready. Speaker 1: Built and validated. And I'm publishing it privately so you have a live sales presence. I've put the LiveSignal local site on your screen. Give it a look and tell me if you want any tweaks before you move on to leads. Speaker 2: Alright, so this is the site that it built for us. Let's check this out. I'm going to open it up in Chrome so that we can see it a little more in a little more detail. So it mocked up a little simple logo for us. Turn every local lead into momentum is what it put as our headline. I like that. Signal local helps service businesses respond to every missed call and inquiry fast, then turns great customer experiences into five-star reviews. So like super simple value prop, you know right away what we offer and what you're getting. It even says done for you set up live in seven days, no new workflow for your team. It's got a button to book a free consultation. And funny enough, when I click that button, it opens my email client. So like it's a real live working button that if somebody clicks that link, it's going to open up an email to our team. If we click to see how it works, It pulls us down to the next page where it says one simple system, your growth loop handled. We install and manage the quiet infrastructure that helps you capture more of the business you already earn. Respond instantly. Missed calls, website forms, and new inquiries get a helpful response in moments, not hours later. Follow up with intent. Thoughtful reminders move interested people toward a booking or a real conversation with your team. Grow your reputation. After a great visit or completed job, the right customers get an easy path to leave a Google review. So I like this. I also love this offer. I think this is such a no-brainer. I think if you go door-to-door pitching this, you'll get a client in less than a week. Like, I might actually do that just for fun because it's, I think, a great offer. So, it says the local lead and reputation engine, more book customers, more proof, missed call text back, speed to lead follow-up, booking or callback flow, automated review requests, monthly growth scorecard setup and management included. Ready when you are. The leads are already calling. Let's catch them. Book a free consultation. So I like this. I mean, it's super simple. It says the problem, leads go cold, great jobs go unreviewed, zero leads should fall through the cracks. Now, is this website like 100% ready, we would deploy it immediately and make no changes? No, but it's 90% there. The only thing we need to change about this is just tweaking a few of like the, you know, like this lead response and review growth. I'd probably just remove that entirely. I'd make this banner a little bigger and maybe more centered. But overall, like this is, I mean, considering this took three minutes, this would have cost $5,000, you know, four years ago and taken three weeks. So it's, it's a really, really good view one. I'm very pleased with it. Now let's go back to Codex. So now that we've got our idea, we've turned it into an offer, we know exactly what we're selling, we've got our website for credibility, let's now find some leads that we can sell this to. I really like the website, so what I want you to do next is I want you to find some local service businesses specifically in and around the Charlotte area. I'm not really too concerned with the specific industry. I don't care what industry we focus on. I just want to find local service businesses that have Good Google reviews, but they have a very poor digital presence. So either they have no website at all or their Google business page has links out to like a Facebook page and they're clearly a mom-and-pop operation not owned by private equity. Because I feel like if they have a poor digital presence, they probably aren't using a CRM either and those are probably the lowest hanging fruit leads for us to go after. So can you find 10 of those, put them in a Google Sheet, include the address to the actual office and I want you to sort them in descending order in terms of the ones that are closest to the NODA neighborhood in Charlotte because I want to show up in person and I want to be able to go down the list one after the other in a route that is optimized. I don't want to have to drive across town when I don't have to. I'd rather go in order. So let me know if that makes sense. Speaker 1: Let's map that carefully. I'll use a connected Google Sheet so it's easy to edit and use from a phone. Speaker 2: So I'm really interested to see what it does here. I'm going to pause. It's probably going to take a few minutes for it to do this research and put this together. So I'll come back as soon as it's ready. Speaker 1: But I need more time to verify 10 businesses properly. So the list and route are solid and not based on guesses. Treat likely no CRM as a prospecting signal, not a certainty. And I'll include a quick check note for each. Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, there's no way for us to tell with 100% certainty whether or not they're using a CRM. So, take your time, verify the business is properly, output the Google Sheet, and let me know when you're done. Speaker 1: Got it. I'll get that ready. I'll use public signals only. Review strength, web presence, and signs they're independently operated, clearly separated from the likely no CRM hypothesis. Speaker 2: Alright, so while it's going to work on this, just something I want to note. One of the things that I love about Codex is you can connect to Codex from your phone. So again, I could literally be driving down the road talking to Codex from my phone and having it do this exact work that I'm doing here. I'm using the remote feature inside Codex. So it's, I've gone pretty much all in on Codex. I love it. So as we can see here, it is working in the background. If we pull up the browser. Speaker 1: I found a tight first route clustered along North Trion, the plaza and nearby northeast quarters. Several have strong public review counts, but no website listed on Google Maps. Speaker 2: Okay, and it looks like it's finding some like tire shops, auto shops, which could be a really good niche. And think about it, those are companies that are getting leads in from online. And if they don't respond quickly, there's so many tire shops or auto shops, people are just going to go to the next one. So these people likely have a very legitimate need. These companies have a need for the service. Again, with Codex, it can just open up the browser inside of Codex. So right now, Codex is just looking at Google Maps inside of Codex. So it's not having to use Chrome. It's not having to have me sign into anything. It's literally just able to fire it up right here within Codex. So I'll come back once it has put that list together, and we'll see what that looks like. Speaker 1: I've put the Google Sheep on your screen. It has 10 stops ordered for Hanoda area walk-in route, plus review and web presence note. Speaker 2: Alright, so let's see what this looks like. If we open up the sheet here, let's just open it up within Codex. So again, we can open up Google Sheets, we can open up anything right here inside Codex. Now, all of these are like walking distance from my house, so I could literally hit all 10 of these in the next hour if I wanted to. So it said, Signal local Charlotte walk-in prospects ordered roughly from node outward. No website link is a Google Maps observation, not proof of CRM use. So I've put together this neat little table here. So first and foremost, we've got this company, King Auto Repair. It's an auto repair shop. It is based in Charlotte, relatively close walk to me. 4.5 star Google rating with 251 reviews with no digital presence. So right now it's saying no website link shown on Google Maps. Why it's worth a visit, very close cluster with the Plaza Tire and Romo, owner operated signal. It's recommending a walk-in approach. So what I'm gonna tell Codex, I actually want it to link the Google business page to the sheet. Hey, can you add a link to the Google business page for every company on your sheet so I can easily link out to that if I'm on my phone? Speaker 1: Let me add those links. Speaker 2: All right, so it's going to add those links to our sheet. It should probably just take a second because, again, if I'm On my phone and I'm on the move, I want to easily be able to pull up their Google business page to just have a, you know, to look at at a quick glance. I also want to verify Codex's work. I mean, this is a pretty easy research task for Codex to do, so I'm sure all this is correct. But I do just want to double check and make sure that this particular company doesn't have a website set up already. So I'll come back once that change has been made. Speaker 1: I've added a mobile-friendly open maps link for each business. Speaker 2: Alright, so here it is. It went ahead and added it to the J column of our sheet. So if we click Open Maps, it opens it up right here in Google Maps. King Auto Repair. Pretty much right down the road from where I live. It's a 4.5 star Google review, 251 reviews, exactly what Codex found. You see the main photo here is literally just a picture of the front door of this establishment. So it's very clearly a mom-and-pop operation. It is probably something that, the owner is probably the guy working in the shop. Just knowing these types of places, he's probably the head mechanic. If I were to walk over to this business, I could be there in 10 minutes, walk in the front door, say, can I speak to the owner? I've got an AI solution for you guys or however I want to pitch it in terms of just walking in and cold pitching it. I could probably get an audience with the owner relatively easily. And again, these guys have great Google reviews, but if we sort by newest, so their newest review is from a week ago, then they had one a month ago, another one a month ago, a month ago, a month ago, so they're getting You know, they're getting a few reviews per month, but then here's one right here, a one-star review from a month ago that says terrible customer service, doesn't take criticism well when it comes to arguing with customers, dismissive. Another one-star review right before that one. So, and then a three-star right before that. So like, again, this is a business that has a lot of opportunity, not only to, let's get more five-star reviews to drown out the one-star reviews, but let's also proactively respond To the one-star reviews and at least we can have like a good professional response on our page so that we look more professional and Then let's respond to new leads quicker, right? Is there an opportunity to So they have a phone number on their Google business page again. They don't have a website so really the only way to Buy from this business is to show up in person, right? So there's no way to get a quote or to book an appointment online. So they're leaving a ton of money on the table. This is just one Business that we found, let's look at the next one. So the next one here is Plaza Tire and Auto, very similar. The photo of the business is literally just a picture of the front door. 4.7 star review out of 140 reviews. They've got a phone number. They have no website. They are, if we look at the reviews that they're getting, most recent review was two weeks ago, then they had one a month ago, and then the most recent one after that was three months ago. So these guys are getting like one review per month on average, but they're clearly doing business, right? They're located in a good spot. They've got 4.7 stars, so people like the service. They're probably just not asking for reviews. And similar to the other one, there's no way to book an appointment. They don't have a website. If I call the phone number, maybe they pick up, maybe they don't. Bottom line, this is a no-brainer offer in my mind. So right there within under 25 minutes, Codex, literally just by us having a conversation with Codex. I didn't use my keyboard a single time. I just talked to Codex. I could have done this while I was driving, while I was on a walk, while I was doing anything else, just talking to Codex, having it build out this entire business for me. Now I have everything that I need at my disposal to walk in the door and confidently pitch this service. So if you like this kind of content, let me know. I like doing these like business ideas, building them from the ground up within Codex.
