A few weeks into this deal, the guy with the audience messaged me. Not with a pitch. He asked ME to send over the comp plan. He wanted me to name my terms. You asked for Part 3, so let's finish the story. Recap: I found the whale (Part 1). Next, I stayed a peer, not a buyer (Part 2). Then he walked me into his clients. So what did I put in front of them? Here's where the deal sometimes goes south. Folks lead with the price. "It's $5k, plus..." And the partner's brain runs the math. Cost. 📈 Risk. 📈 What if it flops? 😳 If there's any potential they end up with egg on their face? The deal is dead on arrival. So, I did the opposite. I pulled every reason that made him look bad off the table: >> "Since he's one of your [clients], I'll fund 100% of the test myself. >> No retainer. No cash upfront. >> Normally it's a $5k setup, the bot build, the tech, all of it. I'll cover it. >> We test on 1,000 of his dead leads. I only get paid on the backend, a cut of the sales my AI actually brings in. >> Zero downside for him [his client]." Now, "I'll cover the $5k" sounds generous. It isn't. Here's what's actually happening behind the scenes: my machine was already built. The bot, the workflows, the AI logic, all of it sitting on my server, ready. So funding the test costs me almost nothing ( I may be out a few pennies in tokens). Now, I'm not **really** risking $5k. I'm spinning up something that already exists and aiming it at his dead leads. That's LEVERAGE. When the machine is already built, "I'll cover it" isn't a risk...It's the cheapest yes you'll ever buy. What do you think happened? He took it to his clients. They said GIMME GIMME GIMME! Then came the message from the top of this post. >> "Hit me back on your proposed comp plan. How's that look, since you're paid on backend results?"

I've got a library of video content going back to 2014. One of the things I'm excitedly focused on is using AI to repurpose the content into books, courses, membership programs and so much MORE! I am blown away by what Claude AI, Perplexity, and POE AI can create that I can monetize with the licensing model. 👍There are endless licensing money machines to build using A.I. 👀I believe MARRYING AI and Licensing gives birth to the most stress-free income babies ever born! If you don't have content of your own? There are heaps of coaches, consultants, content creators, experts, and business owners with a fortune in IP just "sitting under their mattresses." ...without the know-how or time to monetize it. How interested would you be in me talking more about AI and royalty payments? 🖕1= I'd rather spend a weekend at my mother-in-law's than use AI to earn royalties. 👍10= I'd spend a weekend with my mother-in-law to learn more! (or somewhere in between? LOL) Sound off 👇 Thanks in advance! Rooting For Ya, Travis
