Help pls 🙌 built an after-hours voice agent for hvac. getting owners to look at it is the actual problem.

the build was the easy part. getting an hvac owner to look at it:

stack: retell for the agent, twilio for numbers, n8n for routing, postgres as the job log, next.js dashboard. answers after-hours calls, sorts emergency vs can-wait, warm transfers emergencies to the on-call tech, emails the rest for morning.

- linkedin free tier: 5 messages, 1 reply, from a retired owner
- 60-80 ig + fb dms over 4 days: 0 replies
- posted in r/hvac: permanent ban

two asks:

if you've sold a voice agent to any trade, what did the owner push back on most?
if you have an hvac client or related person who'd spend 15 min tearing apart a call recording, i'd take the intro.

Would love some help guyss

I build the automations but I'm bad at finding clients. Looking for someone who's the opposite

Hello everyone,
I build automations: n8n, Make, Zapier, and AI agents on the OpenAI and Claude APIs. I'm good at the building and bad at sales, which so far means solid workflows and no clients.

So I'm looking for someone who's the opposite. Maybe you're good at finding and closing small business clients but don't build. Maybe you run an agency and need someone reliable for the builds. Maybe you already have clients asking for automation and nobody to hand it to.

What I bring: I build it, test it, document it and look after it afterwards. I'm in Romania, 7 hours ahead of New York, so work gets done while US clients sleep.

Open to a revenue share or a split per project, whatever is fair once we talk. If this sounds like you, comment or DM me and tell me how you find clients now.

White labeling a Software Platform Question

So wanted to come on here today, because another person on reddit in another group asked about my platform I founded/solo developed and if I would be opening to white labeling it.

He isn't the first one to ask, nor is reddit the only placed I've been asked. I had some SEO agencies ( I think that is what they are called) reach out to me on other platforms to see if I was open to white labeling.

But after thinking about it, one of the biggest things I personally dislike the most is having to handle business relations and outreach. Its not something I'm good at, so I stayed purely on the development side while passing this off to someone else on my company.

And this would essentially allow my company to have less surface area and time spent on this, whereas we can stay product focused. We are in the Voice and CRM space, so its why I wanted to make this post here. Because what we have is the full stack with a complete in house CRM and bookings, plus a plethora of industry specific features. Yet we built entirely around the idea of not being bloated.

We charge nothing for the CRM system. We only charged businesses on the Voice and SMS usage.

So I think this is what garnered attention from resellers, SEO agencies, and such. Because they wanted to essentially white label this, package and resell this to their business clients, and charge whatever amount they seem fit for the entirety of it. And we would just bill them our rates on the Voice and SMS usage just as we do now. Charging zero for the CRM system.

I guess the reason I'm making this post is, for something like this to come to fruition, it would take a bit more interest then a handful of agencies.

And what you would get is our entire user interfaces, CRM system, etc just as we offer to business owners. But with you being the billing partner and having control of your business relationships and pricing models. And we would just bill you our rate as we have now.

As far as branding goes. Its up in the air. As it would make sense to do this where your own branding and such is used and your own domain, and we handle the ux/ui backend and such.

But the only caveat here is iOS and mac OS apps. We have these and are in the midst of a review with apple as we speak. Yet, this isn't something we can just white label rebrand and upload to the apple store. Apple will block this. So this is something I'm trying to think of.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? Picture for attention, this is showing our automated dispatch and smart routing feature that is apart of the trades dashboard. Its one of many free features in our CRM ecosystem we built in house.
