Next Steps

Decisions & Open Questions

🎯
Niche Focus
Horizontal (all local service) or vertical (HVAC only) to start? Vertical = easier to build proof and case studies faster.
💰
Pricing Locked
Website: $497 flat. AI Lead Machine: $297/mo. First month free with website purchase. Lock in messaging now.
⚙️
Tech Stack Confirm
GoHighLevel ($97/mo white-label) vs. n8n (self-hosted free). GHL has CRM built-in but adds cost. n8n = more control.
📣
Outreach Channel
Cold email, cold DM (Instagram/FB), or paid ads? Email is cheapest to test. Need a personal vs. agency brand decision.
🏗️
Build the Demo
Create 1 live demo site for a fake "HVAC company" to show prospects. Visual proof closes faster than any pitch.
📋
Sales Script
Build the actual sales call script and outreach email templates before launching. Atlas can generate v1.
