When I started, I made the same mistake most people make. I collected random business leads and started sending outreach. But I was not getting good replies because those businesses did not have a clear reason to need my automation. Then I changed my approach. Instead of targeting random companies, I started looking for businesses already showing signs that they had a real problem. For example: * Hiring receptionists or support staff * Running paid ads * Receiving lots of calls or enquiries * Responding slowly to new leads * Doing repetitive manual work * Growing their team or locations Then I contacted the right decision-maker and connected my message directly to the problem I noticed. That simple change helped me get better replies and eventually close my first AI automation client. I created a complete Notion guide explaining the exact process I used to find relevant businesses, useful signals, decision-makers, verified emails, and outreach angles. I’m sharing the complete document below. https://khuzaima.notion.site/How-to-Find-Businesses-That-Actually-Need-AI-Automation-3a81a2d3c58280a9a50de5bf1badb872 I hope it helps someone here get their first client too.

Hey everyone, my name is Luis De Los Santos. I’m a Dominican entrepreneur based in New York City, with a background in real estate, business development, investments, and entrepreneurship. I’ve worked with investors, developers, and businesses across the United States and the Dominican Republic. My goal is to land my first AI client and build a successful AI solutions business that helps companies automate processes, increase efficiency, and grow. My “why” is freedom having the ability to control my time, create opportunities for my family, and build businesses that make a real impact. I’m also excited about the future of AI and want to be part of the wave that’s transforming how businesses operate. Looking forward to connecting with everyone, learning from the community, and taking action together. Let’s do it!
