There Are Two Kinds of People Right Now. Nobody's Putting Them Together.
I've been on a TON of calls lately. Business owners, creators, old-school sales guys, people all trying to figure out where they fit in this whole AI thing.
And I keep seeing the same split. Over and over.
There are two kinds of people out there right now.
The first kind can BUILD. They'll spin up a website in fifteen minutes. Stand up a newsletter, wire up a CRM, get an AI agent running that does the work of five assistants. This stuff comes easy to them. But ask them to go knock on a door and sell it? No chance. They want to sit at home and build. That's their happy place.
The second kind can SELL. They've got a Rolodex a mile long. They've been knocking on doors their whole life. They walk into a room and they own it. But the tech side? No idea where to start. They just know the train is leaving the station and they do not want to miss it.
Here's the thing that gets me. Both of those people are sitting on half a business. And neither one knows the other one exists.
That's the gap. And genuinely, I think it's one of the biggest opportunities out there right now.
Because a few years ago you couldn't bridge it. To serve a bunch of clients you needed a team, assistants, bookkeeping, the whole thing. Now? One person who's good at newsletters can sit at a command post and run fifty of them. A hundred. The billing is handled by an agent. The scheduling is handled by an agent. All you bring is the expert eye.
So the move is to stop trying to be both people.
If you're a builder, you don't need to become a salesperson. You need to find the people who love knocking on doors and give them something to sell. If you're a closer, you don't need to learn to code. You find the builders and go get the clients.
And here's the part I love. The way in is small. You don't walk into a pizza shop and pitch some ten thousand dollar transformation. You say, "hey, let me build you a website, fifty bucks a month." You build it in fifteen minutes, you show them their name in lights, and 99 out of 100 times they can't believe it. That fifty dollar website isn't the product. It's the friend-maker. Once you've wowed them, you get a crack at their CRM, their marketing, their content, their scheduling. That fifty bucks becomes a thousand. Sometimes two.
None of this is complicated. A networker, a builder, and a small foot in the door. That's the whole game.
So if you've been sitting on one half of this... go find your other half. Genuinely. That's where the money is right now.
Stay in the fight, Kevin
