How To Get Paid $2,500 + Monthly Checks for "Drag & Drop" AI Employees⏐Ep. #268

So, the other day, I come across this guy named Danny. And Danny went in to get a haircut, and he talked to his barber who's very busy and said, Hey, have you ever thought about using a voice agent to answer your calls for you while you're cutting hair? That way you don't miss out on customers. And he said, that sounds awesome. Danny said, why don't I build that for you for free? He built it for him, and it changed the game for this barber. Now Danny builds voice agents for barbers, and he charges $2,500 to $5,000 upfront, plus hundreds of dollars a month to maintain it. But the thing is, is that these voice agents can be created with just a few clicks. You can train them just by dragging a screenshot over from their Google Business profile. That's it. Or just by linking their website. Better yet, you can sell to the barbers as you're getting your haircut by pulling out your phone, updating the voice agent on your phone, so it answers as Bob's Barbershop, or whatever the name is of the barbershop that you're at right then. Then you could have it call the barber as he's cutting your hair and use that as a sales tool. I am hyped about this interview. You are going to love it. Danny got a start about 11 years ago helping people optimize their Yelp profiles. He said there was a very small window of time on Yelp where you could make a lot of money doing this. Then it went away. He said today, that same small window of time exists with creating voice agents for local businesses. I've talked about this a few times on the pod before. You guys love it every single time. This is the first time I've interviewed a business owner that's actually doing it. I've done it a couple of times. I have two different episodes where I launch a voice agent business live, but this is a different beast altogether. I promise you'll love it. If you end up starting this agency or any agency built on top of high level, it would mean the world to me if you use my affiliate link in the comments below, you'll get 30 days free instead of the normal 14

Let's go talk to Danny.

Danny (1:45)

One of my barbers, I call him my therapist because I talk to him every week. It's cheaper than therapy.

I was like, hey, let me rebuild your website because it didn't look that good and let me start doing some stuff on go high level. He's the number one barber in Huntington Beach, California. I felt like if I did this for him for free, he's in one of those buildings where there's all these like, like salon suites, Yeah.

Chris Koerner (2:12)

Many business owners in one room.

Danny (2:13)

In one room.

That's my lead cycle right there. Let me build you this website. You'd be my test dummy at the end of the day. I'll do this all for free. I build in the website. I build in this AI agent. And he was absolutely amazed by the AI agent because there's kind of two types of barbers. There's one barber where he's absolutely busy and he can't take any, like any phone calls because he just constantly booked. And there's another barber who is just not that booked. Yeah, right.

Chris Koerner (2:43)

And so he's like nothing in between.

Danny (2:45)

Yeah, exactly. And so he's the booked guy. And so he was, I was like, let me implement an AI agent because how many people are calling you and you just might miss the opportunity from just a scheduled link, right? And so we implemented an AI agent so that whenever he doesn't answer, instead of going to voicemail, the agent picks up, ask him all of these questions. We kind of fed him all of the business information.

Chris Koerner (3:09)

You're saying that people call him, he's in the middle of cutting, he can't answer. So a voice agent picks up and asks a bunch of questions and fills out a form.

Danny (3:17)

Yeah, like we just gave him all the information. But if they want to schedule something, then it would give him the direct link for them to book an appointment. Right away, I mean, he was getting bookings from that link, just the day we turned it on. And so it gave him the freedom to know that like, hey, this works and I don't really have to stress about new clients. And like, I understand the time's money and stuff like that. But this helped a lot.
