how to NOT waste 5 months pitching to everyone

i was pitching to anyone who would listen. restaurants, gyms, coaches, salons, random people who seemed interested.

every call went well. nobody paid.

eventually figured out the pattern. the people who get most excited about automation are usually the ones with the least budget and the most opinions about how it should work differently.

the boring guys don't get excited. the manufacturer who's been doing the same thing for 15 years. the property developer who sounds mildly annoyed on every call. they just want to know if it solves a real problem and what it costs.

been working with hotels and property firms for a while now. that's where the money actually is.

if you run a business with a genuine operational problem, leads falling through the cracks, follow ups being done manually, data entry that shouldn't require a human, drop it below. genuinely curious what the broken thing looks like in different industries.
