If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quieter than normal this week, there’s a good reason… I’ve been heads down building something that I honestly think is going to change the way agency owners prospect. For the last several months, we’ve been studying how our team has conversations with hundreds of local businesses every day. But here’s what hit me… Most of you don’t need 500 conversations a day. You don’t need another giant lead database. You don’t need another complicated CRM. You just need a simple way to consistently find high-quality local businesses and start intelligent conversations with them. So that’s exactly what we built. I would like to introduce you to our new LeadScout tool. It's my personal Agency owner tool that I use for scouting out potential clients integrated into my daily browsing. Think of it as having a prospecting assistant living inside your browser. You’re on Google… Facebook… Browsing a local business… Even sitting in a coffee shop researching a niche… LeadScout helps you instantly understand whether that business is worth talking to. It pulls together the information that actually matters: - AI Visibility - Review opportunities - Business insights - Website information - Conversation starters - Personalized outreach angles - So instead of spending 20 minutes researching one business… You can decide in a couple of seconds if it’s a great prospect—and know exactly how to start the conversation. The goal isn’t to send more spam. The goal is to have better conversations with better businesses. That’s exactly how we’ve been building our own agency. 🚨 FIRST LOOK — LIVE THIS TUESDAY I’m going to do the first public walkthrough of LeadScout. You’ll see: ✅ How I find high-quality leads throughout my normal day with almost no extra effort ✅ How I qualify businesses in minutes instead of hours ✅ How I turn research into personalized outreach ✅ The workflow we’re using internally to build a consistent pipeline And because you’re a Skool member…

Quick impromptu update for you guys — recorded late, no slides, no polish… just what’s actually happening inside our agency and client accounts right now. Here’s the short version 👇 If you don’t have an AEO offer this year, you’re going to feel it. AEO = Answer Engine Optimization (also being called AISEO / GEO depending on who you talk to) Different name. Same shift. Why this matters (a lot) Clients are no longer just asking: “Can you rank us on Google?” They’re asking: “Why aren’t we showing up when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or AI tools who to use?” And here’s the part most agencies are missing… This isn’t replacing SEO. It’s the next layer on top of it. If you already: - Sell SEO - Have AI Spotlight - Do content, ads, or reputation - Talk to multi-location businesses - Build websites - Or are looking to have a HOT OFFER this Year!!! This becomes your what’s next offer. Proof, not theory I’m not positioning myself as “the AEO guru.” I do what I always do: - Hire the right people - Implement internally - Track every lead source - Then show you what’s actually working Right now, we can tell clients exactly where leads come from: - PMAX - Direct - ChatGPT - AI-driven discovery And yes — those AI leads are showing up. Especially for: - Larger brands - Multi-location businesses - Higher monthly retainers What I’m opening up I’m considering hosting a live AEO workshop next week (likely Tuesday). On that call, I’ll walk through: - What AEO / AISEO / GEO actually means (no fluff) - How we’re implementing it for 8-figure clients - What we’re doing internally across our own brands - How you can package this as a clean add-on offer - How to confidently explain it to clients without sounding like you’re guessing Live. Questions allowed. No “trust me bro” slides. 👉 If you want me to run the workshop: Comment AEO below. If there’s enough interest, I’ll drop the details later this week. 2026 is not the year to stay reactive.

Just filmed a quick 13-min convo with longtime member @Venkat Maddala and… whoa. He quietly spun up a trust-first system that’s pulling real business owners into his world—during normal 8–5 hours—without chambers, cold outreach, or ad spend. Highlights from the clip: - Went from <100 → 6,000+ followers (aka audience of buyers) in ~4 months - Closed 7–8 clients in ~60 days at $100–$400/mo (recurring) - It’s all trust → traction: targeted FB groups, simple posts, compounding engagement - No bots. Real businesses commenting, DM’ing, and raising hands - Works even if you can’t attend local networking (no travel, no random “spray & pray”) If you want us to drop the 5-part training (audience building, group strategy, content that converts, engagement engine, ethical outreach) with blurred proof shots and step-by-step, comment TRUST below and Venkat or I will tag you when it’s live tomorrow. WINGMAN PASS MEMBERS - Keep eye out for an notification :) Let’s close the trust gap and flip the script from chasing to attracting. 🚀
