How I Turn Local Networking Events Into Qualified App-Building Opportunities! I've been learning how to build AI apps and one question kept coming up… Where am I going to find the people who actually need these apps? Then it hit me! Every week, I attend local networking events at ASU, surrounded by business owners who could benefit from the very apps I'm learning to build. So instead of just collecting business cards and hoping someone follows up, I decided to build a SYSTEM to capture that interest! Here's what I did: ✅ Created a simple flyer with a QR code ✅ Built a funnel that explains the app and its benefits ✅ Added an application to qualify business owners ✅ Connected a calendar so qualified prospects can book a call ✅ Set up follow-up emails to keep the conversation going Now I can walk into a networking event with more than a business card. I have a way to turn conversations into qualified app-building opportunities! And the best part? This same strategy can work online, too! I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what I built because I know I'm not the only one learning these new skills and wondering how to turn them into income. Now, I have TWO invitations for you: 💗 APP BUILDERS: Want to learn how to build a funnel like this to attract potential clients? Comment FUNNEL and let's connect! 💚 BUSINESS OWNERS: Already getting leads but need a better way to follow up, book appointments, and close sales? I'm offering qualified businesses a FREE custom AI app build with the setup fee waived. Comment FREE APP to see if your business qualifies! Here's what I'm learning through this whole journey… Learning to build apps is one skill. Learning how to find customers who need them is how we turn that skill into a business! Let's stop just learning about this stuff and start putting it to work! — Renee J. | Your Funnel Mentor #AppBuilding #ClickFunnels #AIApps #FunnelBuilder #SmallBusinessGrowth #LeadGeneration #NetworkingToClients #BlackGirlsHackFunnels2

Stop saying “Let me know if you’re interested….” Business owners, here’s a simple change that could help you book more appointments. When someone asks about your service, don’t leave them wondering what to do next. Give them a clear next step! 💡 TRY THIS TODAY: Instead of saying: “Let me know when you’re ready.” Say: “I’d love to help! Would today at 3 or tomorrow at 10 work better for a quick call?” See the difference? You’re making it easier for someone to take action. More conversations can lead to more appointments. More appointments create more opportunities to make sales! QUESTION: What if you had an app that alerted you when a new lead came in AND told you what to say when you called? Would that help your business? Let me know what’s up with u and ur business! #BlackGirlsHackFunnels2

One Comma Club Offer Creation in the process. Here are some images that I have been creating to help me visualize the workflow. First I have been working on all 26 letters of the alphabet worksheets in English and Spanish. Now that is completed, all the worksheets will be a freebie bundle for the lead magnet. (Love the image.) Then I asked Gemini what is the next step and WhaLaa! Gemini spitted out the whole workflow for capturing leads. So I ask Gemini to create an image of the workflow and I gotta love how it was recreated in the preschool classroom on the desktop.😆 In order to see the workflow better I asked Gemini to make the workflow on a bulletin board! 🤩

Do Not Automate an Offer No One Has Proven They Want This may sound strange coming from a funnel builder and AI consultant. But your first move may not be building a funnel. It may be having a real conversation. Funnels and AI can help you sell faster—but they cannot create demand for an offer people do not want. Before you automate, learn what your audience is already trying to solve. Your next step: Talk to three people who may be a good fit for your offer. Ask: 1. What result are you trying to reach? 2. What is stopping you? 3. What have you already tried? Listen to the words they use. Those answers can help you create your headline, offer, bonuses, content, and follow-up. One lesson I brought home from FHL is that technology should support a proven path—not replace the work of understanding your customer. Where is your offer right now: just an IDEA, being TESTED, or already PROVEN with paying customers? #FHL2026 #OfferCreation #CustomerResearch #FunnelStrategy

Getting the sale feels exciting. Then the emails, forms, appointments, files, and questions begin. Without a clear process, customers can feel confused—and you can feel overwhelmed. Here’s what I did and you should too: Build an onboarding app that will help you to do the following: ✅ Collect the right information ✅ Explain the next steps ✅ Create a customer plan ✅ Organize important details ✅ Give every customer a better start Better onboarding saves time, builds trust, and helps customers reach their results faster. Write down the first five things that happen after someone pays you. That process may be a great app opportunity. What is the hardest part of bringing in a new customer?
