This is how I Automate my business

Nov 20, 2023

Today, I'd like to share with you a new aspect of my business, how I automate processes. and how am I saving time before I even started.

Recently, I haven't been making that much money from selling digital products.

Here's the sales data for the last 6 months.

So, I was brainstorming what can I do to increase this.

One of the ideas was to start my consultancy or create a coaching program.

This basically means that I need to sell a lot less, and I'm going to get a lot more in return.

The only downside is I need to put in a lot more time.

Okay, enough of the introductions, let's get right into the meat of this newsletter.

Here are 3 processes I automated before I even started with consulting/coaching.

#1 Initial Contact

The first step of the entire process is the Discovery call, where we will talk about how can I help them achieve their goals.

There are a couple of things that should happen before the call.

I need to:

  1. Check if they're qualified

  2. Create an agenda

  3. Create a Google Drive folder

  4. Create a Google Doc that needs to be filed before the call

  5. Create a new lead in the CRM

  6. Send an email to the new lead with all of this information

So I just made this workflow in Zapier:

#2 Post-call output

This is a much simpler workflow... at least for now.

It's triggered as soon as the meeting is over and there's a new recording in Zoom.

What I need to test a bit better is how is ChatGPT going to work for call summarization and I need to figure out if I can get the company name from the Zoom call so that I can use it when I move the recording to a Google Drive folder.

#3 Payment

So, our lead is interested in working with us, they dig everything that we've done until now and want to try it out for themselves.

Awesome, from our side, we just need to update the row in the CRM and the email will be sent to them to fill out a short form.

As soon as they fill out the form, we're going to create a new invoice in QuickBooks and send it to them.
