Transcript
Hello everybody.
Vit Muller:Welcome to another episode on High Level Experience podcast.
Vit Muller:Our guest today is somebody who's lived the bleeding edge of SaaS, FinTech and
Vit Muller:AI for nearly two decades, launching startups, leading high stakes strategy
Vit Muller:at billion dollar companies, and now building tools that are shaping the
Vit Muller:future of the high level ecosystem.
Vit Muller:He's the kind of guy who just, you know, he's just as comfortable on stage hosting
Vit Muller:AI events in Cancun as he is in lab architecting next gen CRM automations.
Vit Muller:Oh, and did I mention he's the Brains behind AllThingsGHL, SuperCloner and
Vit Muller:SuperEditor and also he once run a 4,000 member GHL expert community.
Vit Muller:That was so good it got acquired.
Vit Muller:That's right.
Vit Muller:So let's welcome to the show Fer Patel.
Fer Patel:Thank you for that awesome introduction and just, you know, the way
Fer Patel:you pos position it though, just it's.
Fer Patel:Reminding me of all the different milestones I went through in my
Fer Patel:life so far to get to where I'm at.
Fer Patel:So you succinctly summarized.
Fer Patel:It was fantastic.
Vit Muller:you've done a lot, man.
Vit Muller:I was looking at your LinkedIn and I was like, where was I in 2004?
Vit Muller:Yeah, that's right.
Vit Muller:I was just finishing high school, I guess.
Fer Patel:Oh man, you just aged me.
Fer Patel:Great.
Fer Patel:Thank you.
Vit Muller:But no, like, I, I, I didn't mean it that way, I'm just saying like,
Vit Muller:you've done so much, but also you've stayed, stayed the whole time, like in
Vit Muller:the tech, which, which is really cool because obviously that, you know, like
Vit Muller:I, I haven't, like, I've done, I've been a chef and I've been in the fitness
Vit Muller:industry, personal trainer and the now last six years or so of doing this.
Vit Muller:But, so really appreciate being here because you know, you, you obviously
Vit Muller:have ton of experience being in that, in that industry for so long, so.
Vit Muller:yeah.
Vit Muller:So you, you, you must have had a wild journey, FinTech sa, ai high level, and
Vit Muller:now building your own empire of tools.
Vit Muller:What was that exact moment you realized high level wasn't just another CRM,
Vit Muller:but like a full on movement with like worth building business around?
Fer Patel:It's, it's funny, it's, so when I, when I pivoted from FinTech into
Fer Patel:marketing, and like most other people at that time, you know, a lot of people
Fer Patel:came in through the ClickFunnels world.
Fer Patel:They got, I saw the ClickFunnel ads, I picked up the.com secrets.
Fer Patel:I read the book, they got into the ClickFunnels world.
Fer Patel:Then I started building funnels and then realizing, okay, I
Fer Patel:need to have, email automation.
Fer Patel:So I got an active campaign.
Fer Patel:Okay, then I need another third party tool.
Fer Patel:Okay, now how do I connect them?
Fer Patel:So I got the Zapier.
Fer Patel:So then at one point I'm like, oh, I need a chat bot onto to ManyChat.
Fer Patel:So I had about 5, 6, 7 different tools.
Fer Patel:I was running and patching together using Zapier, and
Fer Patel:always hoping nothing will break.
Fer Patel:It worked out for the most part, and I then high level came along.
Fer Patel:Someone sent me a link.
Fer Patel:I look at high level, went to the landing page back then, I'm like, I
Fer Patel:don't have time to learn another tool.
Fer Patel:Like I already have seven tools I'm working with.
Fer Patel:This is just another tool I'm gonna have to add in my inventory.
Fer Patel:And I just kind of just brushed it off.
Fer Patel:I watched their, I think it was Robin doing a demo video at
Fer Patel:the beginning on their webpage.
Fer Patel:I'm like, no, no, I'm not gonna do this.
Fer Patel:Then a month later I'm like, let me try it out.
Fer Patel:Maybe again.
Fer Patel:I brushed it off.
Fer Patel:I'm like, I don't have time for this.
Fer Patel:It's like, you know the, you always have that.
Fer Patel:You see those memes where you have the one person carving out the, you
Fer Patel:know, the pushing the wheelbarrow.
Fer Patel:One guy's carving out a circle or the wheel and the other
Fer Patel:ones working with the squares.
Fer Patel:I'm like, I don't
Vit Muller:Oh yeah.
Fer Patel:keep going.
Fer Patel:I gotta keep going.
Fer Patel:Let me just keep going.
Fer Patel:I have my momentum to whatever effect it is.
Fer Patel:Let me just going at it where it was.
Fer Patel:Then, luckily, somehow I was joined someone else's mastermind
Fer Patel:and then he says, Hey, everyone was part of the mastermind.
Fer Patel:They get a free sub account.
Fer Patel:On this, on his, white label.
Fer Patel:CRM solution wasn't high level at that time.
Fer Patel:Yeah, I think it was high level because it wasn't branded.
Fer Patel:He didn't really care.
Fer Patel:That wasn't his main thing.
Fer Patel:So I got a free subaccount.
Fer Patel:So I got into the subaccount.
Fer Patel:He gave me a snapshot.
Fer Patel:Then now I'm, now I'm getting a chance to try it out without the stress of paying
Fer Patel:a, you know, you know, a subscription fee is gonna be coming up pretty soon.
Fer Patel:You're either using it or not using it.
Fer Patel:If you don't use it, you feel like you have to cancel it.
Fer Patel:So you, you have that window at that beginning of time.
Fer Patel:I'm already paying for seven different tools.
Fer Patel:Do I want to add one more tool, part of my toolkit?
Fer Patel:That's the way I look at it.
Fer Patel:So then I got a free account from someone.
Fer Patel:Then I had zero pressure.
Fer Patel:So I'm going through it, checking it out.
Fer Patel:Oh, I can create triggers and campaigns and, you know, the workflows.
Fer Patel:Like, that's pretty cool.
Fer Patel:And I was working, it was, it was a mastermind in the real estate space.
Fer Patel:So then I had a snapshot that gave me 365 days of.
Fer Patel:Automations ready to go, or you know, you have a sequence for 365 days.
Fer Patel:I'm like, well that's pretty cool.
Fer Patel:So it's all ready to go.
Fer Patel:It's all kind of automated, like, this is pretty cool.
Fer Patel:I didn't have to do anything.
Fer Patel:He just pushed it into my account.
Fer Patel:Then, then I'm thinking right away, okay, I think I need to use this tool.
Fer Patel:I gotta try this out now.
Fer Patel:Because if I onboard my own real estate client and I onboard 2, 3, 4 other ones,
Fer Patel:I, all I have to do is push a snapshot.
Fer Patel:I'm ready to go, ready to go and just do a few little tweaks.
Fer Patel:So then I started, I, at that point, I saw the benefit.
Fer Patel:I saw the, you know, the features that will save me time and energy.
Fer Patel:And then at that point I started using it right away on one or two clients.
Fer Patel:And at that point, once I started using it for one or two clients,
Fer Patel:I'm like, okay, I think this, there is something in this software.
Fer Patel:I gotta, I might go a little bit further in.
Fer Patel:And that's when I joined the high level community.
Fer Patel:At that point it sub 5,000 users.
Fer Patel:you know, when I, I did one of those things where, you know, when you're in
Fer Patel:the ClickFunnels community, I was just a person in the community amongst the
Fer Patel:90 or a hundred thousand other people.
Fer Patel:There's already people who are, who have already carved out their niche.
Fer Patel:They've already become known, well known in the community.
Fer Patel:And, you know, you're coming in late to the game if you wanna say,
Fer Patel:you gotta work your work really hard to make yourself known.
Fer Patel:Whereas high level can be 5,000 people.
Fer Patel:Like, what can I do to add value in the community?
Fer Patel:So I realized a lot of people kept asking similar questions around,
Fer Patel:oh, how do I customize this?
Fer Patel:How do I customize that?
Fer Patel:Like, I think this is, could be a way in for me.
Fer Patel:So I started providing them the customization tools, the CSS, the Java
Fer Patel:scripts, the various small little hacks.
Fer Patel:And the thing is, I didn't know any of that stuff.
Fer Patel:I learned it on the fly.
Fer Patel:All I had, all I had to keep doing is staying one step ahead of everyone else.
Fer Patel:Someone says, how do I do it?
Fer Patel:I use that as a reason to go learn it right away, find the solution,
Fer Patel:and then share with people.
Fer Patel:Then everyone thinks, oh my God, you're, you know, you're awesome.
Fer Patel:You know what you're doing.
Fer Patel:I'm like, you know, back of my minds, I have no idea what they're asking me.
Fer Patel:I'll figure it out.
Fer Patel:So my mindset's always been about, I'm not the person asking the questions.
Fer Patel:I'm the person who will find the solutions.
Fer Patel:So I would always find the solutions no matter what on my own.
Fer Patel:I would get it going.
Fer Patel:And then I started building up a lot of tools and I shared, I shared it
Fer Patel:freely within the community because in my mind, I wasn't looking for this
Fer Patel:to be a revenue generating, tool.
Fer Patel:It was more about how can I help the community out and
Fer Patel:just share some goodwill?
Fer Patel:That's all it was.
Fer Patel:I had zero strategy in mind over here.
Fer Patel:It was just more about, Hey, how can I be helpful?
Fer Patel:That's all it was, and I was able to help people out that way.
Fer Patel:Then I realized afterwards, okay, this is taking a lot of my time now.
Fer Patel:So then I'm, instead of just sharing Google Docs across the
Fer Patel:board with the tools, let me put this on a repository online.
Fer Patel:So I put a book, repository online.
Fer Patel:I shared it there freely.
Fer Patel:Then people started coming to me asking me for customization.
Fer Patel:They wanted more work involved.
Fer Patel:So I had a developer with me.
Fer Patel:I would get the developer to help 'em out a lot.
Fer Patel:If it's small tasks for five, 10 minutes at a time, I wouldn't even charge them.
Fer Patel:Like it's, it's too small of an amount of effort because I
Fer Patel:know how much time it takes.
Fer Patel:So I would just do it for free for them.
Fer Patel:Whereas in their mind they think, oh, it could be very heavy.
Fer Patel:You know, technically I could have charged for two hours of work.
Fer Patel:Like, oh, that's, oh, that's really complicated because I already
Fer Patel:have all the templates built out.
Fer Patel:I would, it's 10 minutes of work I'll do for free.
Fer Patel:I wouldn't even think about it because in the end, I know how much time it takes.
Fer Patel:But then those 10 minutes kept adding up, right?
Fer Patel:So those 10 minutes end up being five, six hours in a day.
Fer Patel:Time is, how do I customize that?
Fer Patel:Then somehow along the way, someone encouraged me, why don't you create
Fer Patel:a paid membership out of this?
Fer Patel:Like,
Fer Patel:you know what, maybe I should, that will help pay for the RD that we're
Fer Patel:doing going forward so I can keep my, develop the developer I had with me.
Fer Patel:I was paying 'em out of pocket at that point just to keep feeding
Fer Patel:and helping community out.
Fer Patel:Now we turn that into a community which we called GHL Experts, so there is
Fer Patel:where we create a membership portal.
Fer Patel:That's where I found a new way of just placing all the code, all the
Fer Patel:repository over there and charge people a monthly membership fee or a
Fer Patel:lifetime membership fee when they came on board and that helped subsidize
Fer Patel:or, you know, pay off my developer time and energy to facilitate that.
Vit Muller:I think I used your platform.
Vit Muller:Is that, is that the one that you had like a free CSS codes for surveys and then
Vit Muller:the paid ones and, and all that stuff?
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:I think I used that way back,
Fer Patel:I think honestly the vast majority of the people who use high
Fer Patel:level, in the early days, they were members on that platform because I
Fer Patel:was, there was three people in totality that were doing something similar.
Fer Patel:One was charging an outrageous amount for such trivial stuff.
Fer Patel:Then another one built a software around it.
Fer Patel:And then there was me who was giving out the code just freely.
Fer Patel:So this is, this is where I kind of built more of my mark or a, name for myself in
Fer Patel:that, in the community around GHL experts.
Fer Patel:And then we started building up more and more over there.
Fer Patel:We built custom menus before high level had custom menus.
Fer Patel:We built, you know, you know, some chat widgets before they offer these things.
Fer Patel:And we are always staying ahead of them knowing that they're gonna just eventually
Fer Patel:build them natively within the platform.
Fer Patel:We know what's gonna happen.
Fer Patel:I had conversations with them back then, but we gave 'em a free
Fer Patel:membership to our membership portal.
Fer Patel:Like, look, we know you guys are gonna just literally make these
Fer Patel:things native in the platform and you should, there's, you should not be, I
Fer Patel:should not have to be providing custom JavaScript to create custom menus when
Fer Patel:it should be natively in the software.
Fer Patel:So I'm well aware, like these things you need to build into the
Fer Patel:software, here's the code I'm using.
Fer Patel:It helps you, helps you.
Fer Patel:But it's always been knowing the fact that it's going to, we we're gonna
Fer Patel:have tools and hacks that are gonna be obsolete in the coming months as
Vit Muller:I, I, I think on the same token though, what you've done is you've
Vit Muller:allowed them, you've, you've provided them with that leverage, helpful leverage
Vit Muller:for them to continue to be the skateboard and continue to like, focus on the
Vit Muller:other things rather than having to like, oh, well, we need to build it as well.
Vit Muller:Oh no, we don't have to.
Vit Muller:Actually, our community's solving that problem for the minute, so we don't have
Vit Muller:to stress about it and we can do others.
Vit Muller:So it's like a win-win for everybody.
Vit Muller:question though, and, and also like a bit of a, like a, a big takeaway from what
Vit Muller:you discovered is like providing value.
Vit Muller:I think it's so, powerful in general, like in business, in any business.
Vit Muller:For you guys listening as well, it's like.
Vit Muller:We all wanna grow our businesses and wanna make some money
Vit Muller:and have a better lifestyle.
Vit Muller:And it's, it can be really tough if you've got no following, some, like,
Vit Muller:if you start from scratch and whatnot.
Vit Muller:So like, there's honestly, like, it's tested.
Vit Muller:Like if anything else, this will, it's kinda like, if anything
Vit Muller:else, this will always work.
Vit Muller:Going out there, not expecting anything in return.
Vit Muller:And then just looking at opportunities to help somebody, looking at
Vit Muller:posts, looking at comments.
Vit Muller:How can I, how can I work out, how I can help that person?
Vit Muller:Like,
Fer Patel:Hundred percent.
Fer Patel:That's always been my approach.
Fer Patel:Let me give, and again, this is the approach that you see when you read even
Fer Patel:some of the marketing books you read.
Fer Patel:Just give value.
Fer Patel:It's not reciprocity.
Fer Patel:People will return.
Fer Patel:A lot of people, when I give them stuff for free, they say, I want,
Fer Patel:I want to pay you something, like, I want pay you for the time.
Fer Patel:I'm like, no, it's okay.
Fer Patel:It's very trivial.
Fer Patel:But people, people feel bad or guilty that they're getting something of value.
Fer Patel:It's valuable to them, but it's negligible in terms of time for me.
Fer Patel:But people feel like they need to give something in return.
Fer Patel:That's when they'll go and go.
Fer Patel:Then on their own, they feel that they need to do something.
Fer Patel:They'll do a shout out online.
Fer Patel:So I have lots of people gimme shout outs online because they felt they
Fer Patel:wanted to do something to reciprocate what I was able to offer them.
Vit Muller:Yeah,
Vit Muller:I mean, even if you just like put it from a perspective of, of a sales funnel.
Vit Muller:Right.
Vit Muller:I mean, when you think of it, this is people have problems.
Vit Muller:That's why they posted about the problem and you looked for a solution.
Vit Muller:That's awareness, right?
Vit Muller:The goal of that sort of stage is, is to, is to help somebody.
Vit Muller:And then if that makes sense, then you can, then you can, you can offer
Vit Muller:them something on the back end of it.
Vit Muller:But it just creates this like a really natural, journey When nobody's be,
Vit Muller:nobody feels like they're being sold to.
Vit Muller:it's, it's, you're building, you're building trust, on, on the front
Vit Muller:end and it just be, you know, it just becomes so, it's like I, yeah,
Vit Muller:it's, I highly believe in that.
Vit Muller:And obviously you, you, there's, there's few people in the community that, that
Vit Muller:stand out for doing this type of stuff, and they really appreciate, and one of
Vit Muller:'them is obviously you, Michael  Reimer.
Vit Muller:He's been provided a ton of value to the community.
Vit Muller:Michael Pacitto.
Vit Muller:Mario, right.
Vit Muller:there's so many others that obviously I haven't, I can't think
Vit Muller:off the top of my head, but, yeah.
Vit Muller:thank you guys for what you're doing.
Vit Muller:appreciate what you're doing is what I wanna say, I guess.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:Oh, thank you.
Fer Patel:But it's one of those things that I've just been doing naturally from
Fer Patel:day one, because if I see someone asking a question, I'll jump in there,
Fer Patel:just answer the question because it's such a simple question for me.
Fer Patel:I see the answer, but they're struggling and it's holding them back.
Fer Patel:So they're waiting for someone to answer that question.
Fer Patel:If I could come in there, put a 30 seconds, answer their question, a minute,
Fer Patel:two minutes, but now it will unblock them to continue in their journey.
Fer Patel:Right.
Fer Patel:So that's kind of the direction that that's always been, the
Fer Patel:approach that I've been taking.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:so 5,000 members, so that would've been what, late 2019?
Vit Muller:Early 2020 you started?
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Fer Patel:Around there.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:'cause I think I started 2020.
Vit Muller:It was about 7,000.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Those were different days.
Vit Muller:The group was a little bit smaller.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:so, you wanna unpack that journey from there.
Vit Muller:How did you get to landing?
Vit Muller:being a manager of special projects for high level?
Vit Muller:I was like, I think it was like last, last year, right after Level Up.
Vit Muller:what was that?
Vit Muller:You know, what led to that?
Vit Muller:If, if, you know, just like, just curious.
Vit Muller:and, if there was any like, unique projects that you
Vit Muller:worked on that you wanna share.
Fer Patel:So, you know, from GHL experts, it was always a kinda a
Fer Patel:side project for me and my partners.
Fer Patel:We were building it, my two partners on it, Shawn and on us.
Fer Patel:They would, they had, they both had their own marketing agencies.
Fer Patel:I had my own marketing agency and GHL experts.
Fer Patel:Something we just did as a hobby to get together.
Fer Patel:We would just do it for fun.
Fer Patel:So we didn't really put that much energy, extra energy.
Fer Patel:We could have taken it much further.
Fer Patel:We realized in retrospect, had we just put some time and energy on it, it could have
Fer Patel:been a significantly a different business.
Fer Patel:But again, it was a side project.
Fer Patel:We never took it seriously.
Fer Patel:So it just, it kind of, it grew at a certain pace.
Fer Patel:And then we had an opportunity where we connected with X extently
Fer Patel:and we realized X extently has.
Fer Patel:A certain level of traction going on right now.
Fer Patel:And I think we, if we combine forces, we can do a significantly better job
Fer Patel:because we had a, GHLX on our peak.
Fer Patel:We had six employees, the three partners, and just a few
Fer Patel:resource support and developers.
Fer Patel:'cause again, it was just a little side hobby for us.
Fer Patel:Whereas Extently at that point was, you know, a hundred employee plus like, you
Fer Patel:know, what, if we merge forces, I think we could do significantly a lot more.
Fer Patel:We combined forces, that's when we got acquired by Extently, with Bay.
Fer Patel:And then from there, we kind of moved into different roles within
Fer Patel:that organization, absorbed into it.
Fer Patel:So we took over the marketing, the technology, and the
Fer Patel:ops side of the business.
Fer Patel:So I was there for about a year and a half.
Fer Patel:and then after a year and a half, an opportunity arose at high level
Fer Patel:where I was talking to, Shaun then, and then Robin and Varun
Fer Patel:about more Varun at the end about.
Fer Patel:What potential opportunities they could exist, at high level.
Fer Patel:And they pretty much offered, we talked about two or three different areas
Fer Patel:and the one that resonated the most with me was their AI employee launch
Fer Patel:Before it was, that was literally about last year around this time.
Fer Patel:Like, it was about this time when the conversation started, because I remember
Fer Patel:I was right around Level Up and I, I started with them right before, I think
Fer Patel:three days before Level Up I started, or four days before, and that's when they
Fer Patel:announced the AI employee launch for the Voice AI product at Level Up last year.
Fer Patel:So I obviously, when I have a few options, I took AI employee as the
Fer Patel:offering, and honestly, I didn't even use AI much before, before starting
Fer Patel:with high level ai like everyone else.
Fer Patel:I was, my journey with ai, the, my extent of AI at that point was chat, GPT.
Fer Patel:That's it, but.
Fer Patel:So I'm like, what do you mean AI employee?
Fer Patel:What's in ai?
Fer Patel:Employee voice ai.
Fer Patel:That sounds pretty cool.
Fer Patel:How does that work?
Fer Patel:So I came as a very novice user.
Fer Patel:Then I had to dig deep immediately right into the trenches.
Fer Patel:Okay, what does the product do?
Fer Patel:Who's our target audience?
Fer Patel:What are we trying to sell?
Fer Patel:What is the path for them to sell it?
Fer Patel:What is the, you know, the unique selling, proposition?
Fer Patel:So have to get into the whole mix of it.
Fer Patel:'cause they're launching it already.
Fer Patel:Now we gotta figure out, and now it's kind of coming onto me to help
Fer Patel:get it to market, get it out there.
Fer Patel:And knowing high level, as we all know, high level, we move so
Fer Patel:fast over there at that point.
Fer Patel:So documentation was a nightmare.
Fer Patel:We couldn't even document it.
Fer Patel:'cause every week it was a new update.
Fer Patel:It was so fast.
Fer Patel:So why are we even documenting it?
Fer Patel:There's no point.
Vit Muller:No point.
Vit Muller:No.
Fer Patel:you, by the time we finished going through the process of documenting
Fer Patel:it, a release already happened.
Fer Patel:That's already outdated.
Fer Patel:So at that point.
Fer Patel:We need to educate the public in terms of what the feature does, what the
Fer Patel:software does, what it's doing for ai.
Fer Patel:So I decided that at that point we should, let's just hold
Fer Patel:coaching calls every single day.
Fer Patel:That's it.
Vit Muller:That's it.
Vit Muller:That's it?
Fer Patel:way it'll just be organic.
Fer Patel:And as new information comes to me, I'll relay it real time because sometimes while
Fer Patel:I'm on a call, I see a release happen.
Fer Patel:Okay guys, this new release, let's talk about it now.
Fer Patel:So I started pushing coaching calls as being the easiest
Fer Patel:way to get information out.
Fer Patel:So those who were on the calls would see the latest, they would
Fer Patel:get the latest information, if they had questions, we'd answer their
Fer Patel:questions or this not working, we'd troubleshoot for them as well.
Fer Patel:So we, during that time, it was called the season of ai.
Fer Patel:We ran that promotion at the tail end of November, December.
Fer Patel:So from that promotion itself, I think we did about seven weeks of
Fer Patel:AI every single day coaching calls.
Fer Patel:So every day, 3:00 PM Eastern, I had a coaching call to do and luckily
Fer Patel:we brought in certain experts from our community to help facilitate.
Fer Patel:So I can kind of take a little bit of a step back on those calls and just
Fer Patel:be the facilitator versus being the main person presenting, because it'd
Fer Patel:be very difficult to present every single day having a new topic every day.
Fer Patel:So then we chose specific people.
Fer Patel:Okay, you, this person's gonna talk about more sales side.
Fer Patel:This person will be talking about how to build up the voice side, from a, you know,
Fer Patel:agency perspective, support perspective.
Fer Patel:Someone else will talk about more about, all right, how would
Fer Patel:you use it with everything else within the high level ecosystem.
Fer Patel:So we tried segmenting out each speaker in terms of what their
Fer Patel:roles would be, but sometimes call, depends on where the call would go.
Fer Patel:They start with a topic, but then the conversation on the call would derail that
Fer Patel:topic and it'll just be a q and a session.
Fer Patel:Which was fine because that was the whole point.
Fer Patel:The whole point was we want whoever's on the call to engage and ask questions.
Fer Patel:To make it easy because when high level launch voice ai, most
Fer Patel:people didn't know about voice ai.
Fer Patel:They may have heard of vapi and retail and a few others, like I
Fer Patel:barely knew about them at that point.
Fer Patel:'cause we're just so deep down in high level.
Fer Patel:And you hear about ai, you're not thinking about AI in high level itself.
Fer Patel:You're just thinking about AI in general.
Fer Patel:And then there's other tools out there in the ecosystem.
Fer Patel:You're not using it because you're only gonna stick to one tool because you
Fer Patel:don't have time to go learn another tool.
Fer Patel:You just don't have time.
Fer Patel:Right?
Fer Patel:There's so many tools out there.
Fer Patel:There's 1,001 tools out there.
Fer Patel:Even right now, as I'm preparing for our, we will talk more about it
Fer Patel:later, about the ai workshop we're gonna be doing at early next year.
Fer Patel:We, our team, my team, my video, team member, we're going through
Fer Patel:almost every video AI tool.
Fer Patel:So he's testing out every single one.
Fer Patel:And I think we're testing, we're at 15 tools, we're testing out
Fer Patel:and we're documenting our journey.
Fer Patel:Why, like why did you choose this tool?
Fer Patel:What are the shortcomings?
Fer Patel:Why did you choose this tool?
Fer Patel:What are the shortcomings?
Fer Patel:So kind of showing the progression of how did we end up at this specific tool?
Fer Patel:'cause now we're narrowing down from 15 down to three.
Fer Patel:Now these three can do whatever, whatever these other tools can do.
Fer Patel:So now we've narrowed it all the way down, but it's a process.
Fer Patel:It takes time to trial and error.
Fer Patel:Costs a lot of money to trial and error as well.
Fer Patel:So we're going through a whole trial and error process and we're the tools.
Fer Patel:We think, oh, there's the greatest tool out there based on marketing.
Fer Patel:You're realizing other tools that might not have better, may not
Fer Patel:have the same level of marketing actually have a better tool.
Fer Patel:So that's, you know, that's on the tool side.
Fer Patel:People get distracted by all the shiny objects and that's the, we're marketers,
Fer Patel:we get distracted all the time.
Vit Muller:One thing I wanna say with like, you're talking about that
Vit Muller:experience working for high level and rolling it out and trying to figure
Vit Muller:out how do we continue to educate the customer because documentation is no
Vit Muller:point because it keeps innovating so fast.
Vit Muller:often like lot of us, like I know when I say lot of us, I, I do
Vit Muller:tend to refer to myself a lot as an example here in this podcast.
Vit Muller:But like we, we start high level, we might launch it as an, for, for our
Vit Muller:agency initially, and then we wanna do it as a SaaS thing, a bit of hybrid.
Vit Muller:And, I don't know about you guys listening, but like for me it's,
Vit Muller:I'm a just, I'm just obsessive perfectionist and always like, I
Vit Muller:gotta get things really pretty, really nice, really like well thought out.
Vit Muller:So that people have really good experience and I've learned that approach just.
Vit Muller:It bites you back, it bites you back big time when it comes to
Vit Muller:revenue and acquisition because things just take too long.
Vit Muller:So, I've learned that.
Vit Muller:Missed.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:yeah, it's, it's funny you say that because I, I'm just,
Fer Patel:I used to be the same way as well.
Fer Patel:So when I was in the ClickFunnels world, the same thing.
Fer Patel:You know, you're so busy trying to learn it.
Fer Patel:'cause you want to learn the platform inside out.
Fer Patel:So when you make your first sale, I know everything.
Fer Patel:I can easily sell it because I know the whole software inside out.
Fer Patel:So people sign up for a platform, then they would, they would be paying for
Fer Patel:it for six months, be learning for it for six months, not making money.
Fer Patel:They're not selling because they're still trying to learn it.
Fer Patel:Now, the number one advice I tell people when they come to the high level
Fer Patel:community is just spend one hour learning the ropes of high level as a whole.
Fer Patel:What's available, what it can do.
Fer Patel:Then go get your first client right away.
Vit Muller:Yep.
Fer Patel:Just know what's in the software.
Fer Patel:Go get your first client.
Fer Patel:Ideally depends on the person's personality because this is generic
Fer Patel:advice, but depends on your personality.
Fer Patel:Go find a friends or family a relationship.
Fer Patel:Go find, I'll call 'em a friendly, get them as your first client.
Fer Patel:Unpaid as well.
Fer Patel:People will differ with me on that, but I believe don't get
Fer Patel:it paid on the first month.
Fer Patel:Say, you know, first month I'm doing it for free.
Fer Patel:I'm here to help you.
Fer Patel:You know?
Fer Patel:'cause they, the reason why I say that is if you start charging them,
Fer Patel:then they have certain expectations on you right away and demand.
Fer Patel:Then you have stress.
Fer Patel:Now they're stressed, like you promise them I'm gonna do this,
Fer Patel:and you don't deliver it in time.
Fer Patel:There's all the stress on you.
Fer Patel:You don't know the software.
Fer Patel:Now you get the stress on the other side.
Fer Patel:If you can get a friendly saying, Hey, I'm gonna build this out for you.
Fer Patel:I'm still learning it.
Fer Patel:I'm gonna try it out.
Fer Patel:If it works great for you, after 30 days, it's all good, you're happy.
Fer Patel:Then after the next month, then we'll talk about the rate.
Fer Patel:And this is what I, this is what I would charge you, but I'm
Fer Patel:discounting in the first month.
Fer Patel:So for those who run into that paralysis by analysis situation, this
Fer Patel:will help break them out of there.
Fer Patel:Because most people struggle a lot and they stick to learning
Fer Patel:because that's their comfort zone.
Fer Patel:Learning it's easy.
Fer Patel:You're in your own world.
Fer Patel:No, there's no responsibility.
Fer Patel:You can keep doing it.
Fer Patel:But once as soon as you get your first client, now you, you have
Fer Patel:responsibility to that client.
Fer Patel:They paid you money, they paid you a thousand dollars, they paid you $200,
Fer Patel:doesn't matter, even a hundred dollars, but I paid you a hundred dollars.
Fer Patel:I expect a deliverable now.
Fer Patel:So now they have certain expectations on you.
Fer Patel:If they send you an email, they expect you to respond back.
Fer Patel:So
Fer Patel:don't take, don't take the first
Fer Patel:color.
Vit Muller:and at that point, this is where you wanna make sure you've
Vit Muller:got that really good experience, but otherwise you're gonna have churn and
Vit Muller:then it's gonna impact your confidence in order to want to go for the next one.
Vit Muller:So yeah, you wanna get it right.
Vit Muller:And also, another, another angle to this as well is like, again, going back to
Vit Muller:that perfectionist thing is like you're trying to build something and it takes, it
Vit Muller:takes weeks before you get it out there.
Vit Muller:and I know some of you might be listening and like, Hey, but Vit
Vit Muller:like I'm still that perfection.
Vit Muller:I, it's not like I can switch it off.
Vit Muller:so I haven't fully switched it off.
Vit Muller:It's still it within me.
Vit Muller:I've just learned how to work within that fucking, obsession thing.
Vit Muller:Right.
Vit Muller:what I've found works for me these days is just shorten in the cycle so
Vit Muller:I can still work in something and make it really cool and feel like I can
Vit Muller:fulfill that, that thing that I need to fulfill, like that perfectionism in me.
Vit Muller:but do it like on a weekly cycle.
Vit Muller:So like, good, good example of that now is I started doing these workshops.
Vit Muller:For, for my SaaS.
Vit Muller:so I've obviously spent maybe like a full day and mapped out all the
Vit Muller:different marketing categories.
Vit Muller:marketing Legion, like related to any business that want to
Vit Muller:grow, and then broken them down into like subtopics, right?
Vit Muller:And then based on those subtopics, I've come up with different workshop titles.
Vit Muller:So now I do these workshops.
Vit Muller:Like la last week I did a workshop on brand voice, like defining brand
Vit Muller:voice, inviting people for free and like, Hey, come basically selling this.
Vit Muller:Hey, you know, if you run a business and you're trying to like get content
Vit Muller:out there, you do the marketing, it's not really hitting the mark.
Vit Muller:It could be that it's not a line of your brand, so let me teach you about brand
Vit Muller:voice and what it means, but then also tie it in, into software on the back of it.
Vit Muller:So then I'm doing a bit of a demo and I'm positioning a product, but
Vit Muller:on the front end I'm still providing a ton of value and it's positioned
Vit Muller:as a workshop, not a webinar.
Vit Muller:So then it gets to like write some stuff, stuff out.
Vit Muller:Anyway, so I've been doing these for, for, for the last couple of
Vit Muller:weeks and they seem to work really well, like it seemed for some reason.
Vit Muller:I think there's value in that, so people like, like it becomes a bit of a no
Vit Muller:brainer, so they sign up, to, to attend.
Vit Muller:So, yeah, like I had, I don't know, 20 people show up last week.
Vit Muller:I've got another one in two hours and
Vit Muller:yeah,
Vit Muller:that could be, and, and so that way I can still like, make my
Vit Muller:slides pretty and everything.
Vit Muller:but yeah.
Vit Muller:Anyway, just some food for thought for you guys listening.
Vit Muller:You're like, Hmm, is there a way for me, I'm the perfectionist girl or guy.
Vit Muller:I think this could be it.
Fer Patel:I'm gonna say it's just like, you know, given a, I think we all are
Fer Patel:well aware of an example of a company that launches MVPs and they're successful.
Fer Patel:They only do MVPs, right?
Fer Patel:We all experience it.
Fer Patel:We all feel it every single time, and they can become a billion dollar
Fer Patel:company, not being a perfectionist.
Fer Patel:I actually had a conversation with one of the founders about this while when I
Fer Patel:was working with them, I asked them why.
Fer Patel:We just launched this feature, could we not have waited just two more
Fer Patel:weeks and like polish it up a little bit more, have it go through product
Fer Patel:marketing, have them refine the images, have them refine the content, and he's
Fer Patel:like, no, we launch skateboard model.
Fer Patel:That's our model over here.
Fer Patel:And they, they, I thought honestly, when I went to go complain, I'm
Fer Patel:like, we should be doing this.
Fer Patel:I thought he would be backing me.
Fer Patel:I honestly thought he'd back my thing.
Fer Patel:'cause I'm like, you know, I really care.
Fer Patel:You know, I think we should, we could do a much better job.
Fer Patel:We did this as this.
Fer Patel:He's like, no, we're a skateboard model company.
Fer Patel:This is, that's literally the ethos that they all live and breathe
Fer Patel:across the whole organization.
Fer Patel:So I was in the wrong, now, not wrong, wrong, but just my
Fer Patel:approach, I'm going contrary to the culture in the organization.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So I'm like, wait, but if we just did two more weeks, we
Fer Patel:could have done this, this, and this.
Fer Patel:And he told me, this is not the way they do things here.
Fer Patel:They roll it out and the stats prove.
Fer Patel:That it works.
Fer Patel:Like he, in the end, it's like statistically they,
Fer Patel:he gave another example.
Fer Patel:You know, previously they had a few products that they launched to perfection.
Fer Patel:They pushed it out there, they got a bit of a buzz, people got excited, they got
Fer Patel:a bit of an uptick, and then it kind of fizzled out certain features or products.
Fer Patel:But when they launch a product or a feature, even incomplete,
Fer Patel:even if they have naysayers, people complain and they complain.
Fer Patel:They, oh my God, this is a terrible product or a terrible feature.
Fer Patel:I can't believe this.
Fer Patel:People complain.
Fer Patel:Adoption's still there.
Fer Patel:They do a new release, update it.
Fer Patel:So now more complaints come in, more adoption, and they release again,
Fer Patel:more complaints, more adoption.
Fer Patel:So even if people are complaining about it, it's bringing attention to it again.
Fer Patel:And people are like, oh yeah, okay, let me try it out.
Fer Patel:So the case in point example I was bringing up to them, he challenged
Fer Patel:back saying, you know what?
Fer Patel:This was actually our best.
Fer Patel:Feature in terms of adoption.
Fer Patel:I was just blown away.
Fer Patel:Like, okay, I need to rethink the way I, you know, I come from a software
Fer Patel:background, software development, FinTech, like we got FinTech, financial technology.
Fer Patel:You can't make mistakes.
Fer Patel:There's no MVPs over there because you're dealing with people's money
Fer Patel:and you're dealing with compliance.
Fer Patel:You can't cut corners.
Fer Patel:If something goes wrong, you're gonna get a fine or you're gonna get very angry
Fer Patel:regulars coming at you if you cut corners.
Fer Patel:And when it comes to this type of software, it depends on the feature,
Fer Patel:obviously, but they're able, not, wouldn't they cut corners, but they can
Fer Patel:launch it prematurely, pre polished.
Fer Patel:And the users of the platform, for the most part have been super accommodating.
Fer Patel:And they understand because they understand the trade off of polish
Fer Patel:and perfection to the speed at they that they go, that the rapid
Fer Patel:fire things are being released.
Fer Patel:'cause even if you complain about it.
Fer Patel:What is incredible though is the response, the responsiveness of
Fer Patel:the team to fix those issues.
Fer Patel:So, you know, if you, in simple terms, they'll throw it out into the public.
Fer Patel:You guys beta test it for us.
Fer Patel:Okay, you now tell us all the issues and we're gonna fix 'em
Fer Patel:all and now we're ready to go.
Vit Muller:Yeah,
Fer Patel:Right?
Fer Patel:That's kind of what happens a lot of times, but it
Fer Patel:works
Vit Muller:it's, and it's like super lean as well because like cost efficient as
Vit Muller:well, because, instead of trying to like, pay for your own research and trying to
Vit Muller:figure out all the bugs, and you might not even be right at the end of it because
Vit Muller:the user experience, the actual underlying user is the one who's gonna be using it.
Vit Muller:So they might have a different perspective of different needs.
Vit Muller:There's always gonna be like, number one in terms of value, it's, it's the
Vit Muller:feedback coming from the user rather than trying to figure it out himself.
Vit Muller:So, yeah, a hundred percent agree with you.
Vit Muller:It's, I mean, I mean they, they keep growing.
Vit Muller:They grow.
Vit Muller:I mean, good, good example like ClickFunnels, right?
Vit Muller:Rassle.
Vit Muller:Ranson trying to roll out 2.0 and if just such a flop, right?
Vit Muller:I don't know if it was that example of perfectionism behind the scenes and then
Vit Muller:rolling it out and it wasn't a thing.
Vit Muller:I'm not sure exactly what, but it felt
Fer Patel:Well, no one, everyone, no.
Fer Patel:ClickFunnels is, they sell, he's a, he's a marketing, he is a salesperson.
Fer Patel:They sold, I think he pre-sold it, pushed it out prematurely when the
Fer Patel:product wasn't ready and, and then at the same time, people who are switching
Fer Patel:from a stable product to an Unseed product, were not happy about it.
Fer Patel:Like, why would you push us to 2.0 with all the packages?
Fer Patel:The promotions prepay for a year, annual play.
Fer Patel:Then they switch over, it's not working.
Fer Patel:Then people get frustrated.
Fer Patel:Whereas over here, for the most part, high level is very stable.
Fer Patel:But then new features are clunky sometimes, but they'll fix it.
Fer Patel:They're very responsive to fixing it when it comes up, because I've been on both
Fer Patel:sides, so I know I've been on the inside.
Fer Patel:Whenever I would be monitoring all the Facebook posts, all the complaints
Fer Patel:coming through, and I'll take those things, curate the post and send it
Fer Patel:to the specific product managers.
Fer Patel:Like, Hey, there's an issue here.
Fer Patel:Then I would add my own Loom video too.
Fer Patel:I'm like, I double checked it.
Fer Patel:They're right.
Fer Patel:This is what it is.
Fer Patel:Because I, you know, to a certain point as well, people complain, used
Fer Patel:to complain on the Facebook form, I would, we're double check and
Fer Patel:triple check what they're saying.
Fer Patel:And sometimes it's user error, like straight up user error.
Fer Patel:They don't know what they're doing.
Fer Patel:They're making the mistake, but they're blaming high level for the mistake.
Fer Patel:So those are the type of posts I would personally take down
Fer Patel:because it's false information.
Fer Patel:But in parallel, I would DM the person, Hey, by the way,
Fer Patel:I reviewed your situation.
Fer Patel:This is a, this is what it is.
Fer Patel:And I dropped 'em a Loom video so they don't feel like, Hey, you're
Fer Patel:just looking down and you didn't hear from, you know, like, that's not fair.
Fer Patel:So we, and this.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:We're not shutting.
Fer Patel:And this is actually, that comes from the top.
Fer Patel:This is like Shaun's methodology as well.
Fer Patel:He's like, don't take down a post unless you tell the person why it was taken down.
Fer Patel:Right?
Fer Patel:Because if we take down a post and they're in the wrong, tell them,
Fer Patel:Hey, by the way, we double checked it and have an explanation because
Fer Patel:we don't wanna hear a complaint coming back after, like they're just
Fer Patel:neutralizing my posts or taking it down.
Fer Patel:They don't want to hear what's happening, the truth.
Fer Patel:I'm like, a lot of times I've seen personally, someone would come in and put
Fer Patel:us on blast, my account got hacked, how unsecure is high level, and they'd go nuts
Fer Patel:then.
Vit Muller:emotions and,
Fer Patel:Then you'd see people chiming in, oh my God, they
Fer Patel:need to do something about this.
Fer Patel:How I can't believe they're letting this happen while this is all going on.
Fer Patel:I would go pull up the person's account.
Fer Patel:I would jump into the account, I would review what's happening because I pull
Fer Patel:up their ticket, I would go through everything, diagnose it, and I realized
Fer Patel:it has nothing to do with being hacked.
Fer Patel:This person gave access to one of his admins, and the admin, well became a rogue
Fer Patel:admin who did X, y, z within his account.
Fer Patel:That has nothing to do with high level, that has to do with your own
Fer Patel:internal information security policies.
Fer Patel:So if you have an employee that goes rogue and you wanna blame
Fer Patel:high level for that, right?
Fer Patel:like you had your own employee, a va, and they start deleting funnels.
Fer Patel:Is it high levels fault for, letting your VA delete the funnels or your fault for
Fer Patel:giving 'em permissions to those tools?
Fer Patel:So in certain cases where that happened, I saw it firsthand and
Fer Patel:I see people complaining about it.
Fer Patel:But I did, I took a different approach on one of those posts.
Fer Patel:I would just come in there.
Fer Patel:A commentary, Hey, by the way, I investigated this.
Fer Patel:This is strictly a user error, has nothing to do with high level.
Fer Patel:And then I would just, you know, I would put a, what do you call it?
Fer Patel:Stop commenting on the post.
Fer Patel:We're just trying to kill off the commentary.
Fer Patel:'cause then after it calms down, then I'll kill that post off.
Fer Patel:Because we don't want people sharing and spreading false information as, because
Fer Patel:you get new members coming in all the
Vit Muller:yeah, I get, I get
Fer Patel:comes in, a new member comes in and they sees this, you
Fer Patel:know, this tool, I just got hacked.
Fer Patel:How does that make a new member feel?
Fer Patel:I'd be very concerned if I saw that.
Fer Patel:So from a reputation point of view, and this is something, you
Fer Patel:know, I'm of the same opinion from the reputation point of view.
Fer Patel:If it's blatantly false information, we remove the post
Vit Muller:Yep.
Vit Muller:I, and you know, thank God that we have audit logs.
Vit Muller:Like you're bringing a really important point.
Vit Muller:This is for all of you guys listening as well.
Vit Muller:Like, if you're serious about running, like building your sales on the
Vit Muller:back of high level, you have that responsibility over making sure that
Vit Muller:your platform and every single sub account, all your customers are secure.
Vit Muller:Like, I actually, these days, if I've got somebody working on our stuff,
Vit Muller:I don't give them like that admin, role access to all sub accounts.
Vit Muller:I do not.
Vit Muller:It's like I just give that particular one that you are working with.
Vit Muller:If you're no longer working there, I cut you out.
Vit Muller:'cause it's not about, you know, whether I like that person or not.
Vit Muller:It's just about if somebody wanted to, could they, okay, well if they could.
Vit Muller:Doesn't matter how good of a person they are, let's get rid of that, possibility.
Vit Muller:So this is like, I mean this is whole another topic we could do
Vit Muller:whole episode on how do we security
Fer Patel:about, this is pure info information.
Fer Patel:Security rules don't give people more access and privilege
Fer Patel:than they need to have.
Vit Muller:yeah.
Fer Patel:Don't put people in a position where they can abuse it.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:Because who knows what happens in someone's life at one point of time.
Fer Patel:Then it's like, oh, you know what?
Fer Patel:I have a nice funnel here.
Fer Patel:I think I can take his funnel and sell it and make money off of it.
Vit Muller:Either dad or you just, I don't, don't have a con you don't have
Vit Muller:control of the endpoint of their machine, of their computer that they're using.
Vit Muller:So they could get hacked or somebody else could get on there.
Vit Muller:Or their 5-year-old, maybe they're working from home and they didn't
Vit Muller:log out and their 5-year-old is playing around Now that deleted
Vit Muller:someone is automation, you dunno.
Fer Patel:reasons why it could happen, but I've seen so many cases where
Fer Patel:they, people come in, give their VAs admin access and the va, they hired
Fer Patel:somewhere online on five or somewhere.
Fer Patel:They've done no vetting.
Fer Patel:They did something in their account.
Fer Patel:I've seen cases where people have taken over someone else's account
Fer Patel:because of, then again, they blame high level I I audited the whole flow.
Fer Patel:It took me time to understand.
Fer Patel:Like, do you not think it was odd that the person sent you a a
Fer Patel:two factor authentication request to change the email address?
Fer Patel:You didn't find that concerning, like they literally gave him all the
Fer Patel:information, then it got transferred over.
Fer Patel:It's like, oh, I didn't know what he was doing, but why are
Fer Patel:you blaming high level for this?
Fer Patel:This is user error.
Fer Patel:You literally gave him like, oh, here's my login.
Fer Patel:Go ahead, do what you want.
Vit Muller:Yeah, fair.
Vit Muller:I wanna segue to the next part of the conversation, but,
Vit Muller:this is really good point.
Vit Muller:I think, I, I, you know, level Up is around the corner at the
Vit Muller:time making this Podcast, right?
Vit Muller:We're all excited just to hear all the new announcements, but I think that would be
Vit Muller:really cool if this area of flag security, access security, access control, could
Vit Muller:be enhanced with additional feature.
Vit Muller:Like, one feature I could think of is like, some sort of a, a log of if a
Vit Muller:user haven't access a particular sub account for a certain amount of days,
Vit Muller:it would automatically lose access to it or things like that to like, make
Vit Muller:us SaaS, you know, SaaSpreneurs make our job a little bit easier and like
Vit Muller:any other layers that we can rely on.
Vit Muller:Automations, not all us, to just do it all manually.
Vit Muller:So that'd be very cool.
Vit Muller:Wouldn, you agree.
Fer Patel:So I was working with the security audit team as well, and I was
Fer Patel:trying to bring in a lot more features.
Fer Patel:I, you know, so one of the comments I, you know, as now that I was on
Fer Patel:the inside, one of the things I first did is I reached out to the product
Fer Patel:manager for the audit logs and I asked a, I as a genuine question, I go.
Fer Patel:I asked him, what are the purpose, what is the purpose of these audit logs?
Fer Patel:A year ago, he's like, oh, to be able to do this, this, this.
Fer Patel:I'm like, okay, I've been using audit logs for two years.
Fer Patel:I've never ever been able to find any utilization outta the audit logs.
Fer Patel:Ever.
Fer Patel:Someone does something that specifically I'm trying to find,
Fer Patel:it's not in the audit logs.
Fer Patel:So I was like, what do you mean?
Fer Patel:I'm like, you go try finding any use of these audit logs.
Fer Patel:It's great from a system point of view, a workflow ran, this
Fer Patel:happened, but from a user agency owner perspective, it's useless.
Fer Patel:So that got them going.
Fer Patel:That brought on some other agency owners to give feedback and that's now
Fer Patel:we got IP addresses in the audit logs.
Fer Patel:Finally, like, why did we have IP addresses?
Fer Patel:Because like for, I kind of pushed it in there.
Fer Patel:I'm like, we need, this is boilerplate.
Fer Patel:Everyone has ips.
Fer Patel:Put it in there.
Fer Patel:At least I can help.
Fer Patel:Specific things I would like to know when people are logging
Fer Patel:in from what IP address.
Fer Patel:I would like to have, you know, the basic crude updates here.
Fer Patel:If anyone creates an action.
Fer Patel:You know, deletes an action, modifies an action.
Fer Patel:We should be logging all these things.
Fer Patel:Everything should be logged.
Fer Patel:So we have full transparency.
Fer Patel:So if you have a user working for you, you can just skim what his,
Fer Patel:what his activity was in the account from a security point of view.
Fer Patel:Because why are they accessing specific contacts on the account
Fer Patel:when they should not be accessing it?
Fer Patel:Like what's the reason?
Vit Muller:Especially if it's the, agency level role.
Vit Muller:What would be cool with the IP addresses is to say, well, somebody's working
Vit Muller:for you, you know, doesn't matter.
Vit Muller:Even let's say if they're in Philippines, right?
Vit Muller:If you could have, okay, well tell me your IP address.
Vit Muller:So you are only gonna be able to log in from that IP address.
Vit Muller:And so if the, if you then try and log in from another location, it's gonna
Vit Muller:flag and it's gonna lock you out.
Vit Muller:I mean, you're talking about, cybersecurity, like for us in Australia,
Vit Muller:like I'm in Canberra right now, and this is, it's a capital of Australia.
Vit Muller:We have a lot of government, departments here.
Vit Muller:So if I'm trying to do, work with a business owner, the likelihood it's, it's
Vit Muller:quite high likelihood that they also work.
Vit Muller:they also do, projects for government, which means they
Vit Muller:have rules and regulations.
Vit Muller:You gotta, they have to comply.
Vit Muller:Now, me being another vendor, e even though I'm not working directly with
Vit Muller:the government because they have policies, then, then that could limit
Vit Muller:me being able to work with them.
Vit Muller:So all of these little things, but I think it's super important to be
Vit Muller:able to say, Hey, here is how we protect our data and our customers.
Vit Muller:We have not just, you know, policies, procedures are fine,
Vit Muller:but if they're manual, then there's always room for error.
Vit Muller:If it's stuff that's software driven, like brilliant.
Fer Patel:that's, that's one other things I recommended.
Fer Patel:The IP range is.
Fer Patel:We can put IP ranges, locations, give people security controls, allow the
Fer Patel:user to dictate and control the security because if someone's working from home,
Fer Patel:just lock it to that one location.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Alright.
Vit Muller:Segue to the next thing, fair.
Vit Muller:I really wanna pick your brain on a bunch of things.
Vit Muller:so working with so many agencies as you did while we were at high level at
Vit Muller:GHL Experts, you've worked with a lot.
Vit Muller:What do you think, is the biggest mistakes that agencies make
Vit Muller:when they try to scale too fast?
Fer Patel:Whoa.
Fer Patel:What's a biggest mistake when they try to scale?
Fer Patel:So, you know, let me, let me I build on that question first.
Fer Patel:Depends on the stage of where the agency's at, right?
Fer Patel:So if they're a beginner agency, meaning they have a few clients
Fer Patel:here and there at a certain point.
Fer Patel:They need to decide, are they gonna be handling support themselves
Fer Patel:or outsourcing the support?
Fer Patel:Like are you in sales mode or support mode?
Fer Patel:So if you're a one man operation paying for your SaaS right now, you'll probably
Fer Patel:be doing support at the beginning yourself because you want to save money.
Fer Patel:But then you have to decide how much time are you spending supporting those two,
Fer Patel:three clients of yours every single day.
Fer Patel:Would it be easier or more useful for you to use one of the
Fer Patel:third party support companies?
Fer Patel:That's in our ecosystem.
Fer Patel:That's one decision people need to make.
Fer Patel:Another one is, you know, are they gonna be a generalist
Fer Patel:SaaS or a specialized SaaS?
Fer Patel:If you're a generalist SaaS solution, then you're competing against high
Fer Patel:level themselves and every other person's coming along saying, GHL
Fer Patel:is the best software in the world.
Fer Patel:We're gonna white label it and sell it exactly as is the same marketing pitch.
Fer Patel:So now you're competing against everyone else saying, use my software because we
Fer Patel:consolidate 15 other softwares and people are like, I've heard that one before.
Fer Patel:Like it's gonna be over and over and over again.
Fer Patel:Like why are you any special?
Fer Patel:You need to decommoditize yourself.
Fer Patel:High levels become a commodity as a software platform, but what solution or
Fer Patel:what problem are you solving for someone?
Fer Patel:So those who are doing the best out there I've seen and are able
Fer Patel:to scale rapidly, is they really focus their offering, their niche.
Fer Patel:That's how they can find the right avatars, and they really
Fer Patel:know how to go down that path.
Fer Patel:So we have some people or one individual, agency, I'm thinking top of my mind.
Fer Patel:He only sells reviews.
Fer Patel:Only sells reviews.
Fer Patel:He made a whole platform around reviews.
Fer Patel:So you're thinking, oh my god, high level has over 80 different features.
Fer Patel:He's only selling one feature itself, reviews for the same price.
Fer Patel:Everyone's selling everything and why?
Fer Patel:And he is extremely successful with it as well.
Fer Patel:He's growing at a rapid pace because when it's one feature.
Fer Patel:One problem.
Fer Patel:It's so easy to, it's like, this is what I solve.
Fer Patel:Everyone's like, I got it.
Fer Patel:And they buy the product because it's not saying, oh, I sell reviews.
Fer Patel:Plus I also do web funnels.
Fer Patel:I also do website.
Fer Patel:I also do reporting.
Fer Patel:I also do phone.
Fer Patel:Everyone's like, I don't care.
Fer Patel:You're solving a problem for me.
Fer Patel:He's like, I need a way of getting better reviews.
Fer Patel:So he solving pain points.
Fer Patel:Or we have other people who are focused more on the AI side.
Fer Patel:They're an AI focus agency around high level.
Fer Patel:They're not talking about all the other features.
Fer Patel:It'll be there, but they're not even talking about it.
Fer Patel:They're talking about we're gonna help you build an AI
Fer Patel:receptionist for your business.
Vit Muller:Michael Reimer is a good example of that,
Fer Patel:yeah, He's focused strictly on ai.
Fer Patel:We're gonna help you build a conversational AI agent so you can be,
Fer Patel:you'll have agents working for you 24 7.
Fer Patel:You don't even have to log in.
Fer Patel:We're gonna send you reports, and they're gonna charge them
Fer Patel:4 97 a month, for example.
Fer Patel:Now you took it, you've taken one feature and decommoditized yourself.
Fer Patel:Now you're focusing on being an AI agency.
Fer Patel:You're not just a software solution, I'm solving a pain point for you.
Fer Patel:And your pain point is now you have an employee working 24 7 for you.
Fer Patel:When you're not able to work, you're solving a pain point for them.
Fer Patel:So as someone trying to scale, find your vertical, find your
Fer Patel:niche, and scale from there.
Fer Patel:If you say too general, you're competing against everyone else on the market.
Fer Patel:And a great example would be, you know, those who come from the ClickFunnels
Fer Patel:world or heard Russell Brunson's pitch.
Fer Patel:He gave a pitch about, you know, he has an iPhone, he's trying to sell his
Fer Patel:iPhone for a thousand dollars, or a thou iPhone's worth a thousand dollars.
Fer Patel:But he's saying, I'm gonna sell this iPhone for $10,000.
Fer Patel:How is he gonna sell right now?
Fer Patel:It's a commodity.
Fer Patel:I why?
Fer Patel:I remember thinking, why would I pay more?
Fer Patel:I could just go buy the same iPhone somewhere else for a thousand.
Fer Patel:It's like, no, on my iPhone, what you'll get access to is my contact list.
Fer Patel:You're gonna get access to, the courses I've downloaded.
Fer Patel:You're got access to these people, you'll have access this.
Fer Patel:So all of a sudden going from $1,000 to 10,000 to $50,000 of value.
Fer Patel:Nothing changed.
Fer Patel:The phone's a phone, but now your perceived value goes
Fer Patel:up significantly higher.
Fer Patel:So he de commoditized a simple product.
Fer Patel:This is what, you know, those coming from the ClickFunnels world, the
Fer Patel:education on that side is fantastic 'cause it teaches you how to think
Fer Patel:a little bit more differently.
Fer Patel:But a lot of people coming fresh into the high level community, they
Fer Patel:don't have a marketing background.
Fer Patel:They just see an awesome software and they wanna sell it.
Fer Patel:So then they go out there selling, I will sell you a subaccount for $37.
Fer Patel:They're just selling subaccounts
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:they see a way of making fast money, but it's not sustainable.
Fer Patel:It's not a real business.
Fer Patel:They're just trying to, it's just a hustle for them.
Fer Patel:Like, oh, they go in, I see people DM sometimes say, I have a amazing
Fer Patel:software that I can give you access to that has everything for $37.
Fer Patel:Are you interested?
Fer Patel:I'm just looking at, yeah, they just send the
Vit Muller:There's no, there's no wins on that.
Vit Muller:I mean, I, I don't know how people do it, but I can't imagine how this, how you can
Vit Muller:actually support that customer at that price point so that they are successful
Vit Muller:with, I don't, I don't see that happening.
Vit Muller:You mentioned a couple of unique, use cases, like going really deep
Vit Muller:on a particular, so like sum it up.
Vit Muller:So like you can go really specific on a particular niche.
Vit Muller:So you build your SaaS product specific to that niche.
Vit Muller:Or you can, you can just pick one feature, in which case you
Vit Muller:don't have to be really niched.
Vit Muller:You can just be feature, feature market, like feature marketing
Vit Muller:oriented, which is cool if you don't wanna pigeonhole yourself.
Vit Muller:so that's cool.
Vit Muller:Now I'll just plug a couple of episodes for you guys listening.
Vit Muller:So episode 44 with, Tariq.
Vit Muller:So Tariq, he is, believe it or not, he is a Diamond SaaSpreneur.
Vit Muller:So he's got over a thousand sub accounts, diamond or Platinum.
Vit Muller:Can't remember if I always get it wrong and get this.
Vit Muller:He, he started his own business is in US party rental.
Vit Muller:Party rental business.
Fer Patel:Okay.
Vit Muller:blow up castles.
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Oh.
Vit Muller:He's got, he's got over a thousand subaccounts of other
Vit Muller:party rental businesses Do
Fer Patel:incredible.
Fer Patel:What
Fer Patel:a
Vit Muller:like what an niche.
Fer Patel:That's a niche within a niche.
Fer Patel:Within a niche, right?
Fer Patel:Who would've thought of that?
Vit Muller:he, he's built a snapshot.
Vit Muller:He's built the education, he's built a system, and then he just
Vit Muller:sells it to anybody that wants to either, and it's really cool.
Vit Muller:And it's different angles, right?
Vit Muller:Like, Hey, I used to get tired of your nine to five.
Vit Muller:What if you could just have your own little side job
Vit Muller:as your, your own business?
Vit Muller:just blowing up, you know, bouncy castles for kids parties on the weekends.
Vit Muller:And then so he breaks down, you know, investment and I
Vit Muller:think he's all, he's dialed in.
Vit Muller:He's also got like suppliers, so you can actually buy the.
Vit Muller:Buy the equipment through his, through, through him and the whole thing.
Vit Muller:And then you've got the business model.
Vit Muller:That's really cool.
Vit Muller:So anyway, that's that.
Vit Muller:yeah.
Vit Muller:It's
Vit Muller:really nice to see, those use cases because it gets you real, like
Vit Muller:it gets the, it gets you thinking like how you could apply that to
Vit Muller:your own, to your own, use case.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:You know, I'm talking to someone else, this earlier this week.
Fer Patel:I tell 'em there's a market for everything out there.
Fer Patel:Everything has a market.
Fer Patel:The most ridiculous things we'll have in market, for example, it's
Fer Patel:just, it's gonna sound odd, but we all see and we make fun of it.
Fer Patel:You can, you know, people, so I, it came from the FinTech space and payment
Fer Patel:processing, and that's when I came across this and this one, compliance
Fer Patel:kicked in and risk kicked in for us.
Fer Patel:People are selling pictures of feet, right?
Fer Patel:So we're just trying to figure out like, what is this?
Fer Patel:Or we're just trying to understand why are people buying these things?
Fer Patel:This is, you know, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, like, why
Fer Patel:are people buying these things?
Fer Patel:I don't understand this.
Fer Patel:How do they even learn about this stuff?
Fer Patel:But then you start realizing people have their weird foot
Fer Patel:fetishes and there's a market fund.
Fer Patel:They'll pay $50 for a photo of someone's feet, like, my god,
Fer Patel:$50 for a picture of a this.
Fer Patel:Then you take a step back, like, okay, there's a market for everything out there.
Fer Patel:If you, if you know, you hear about one person.
Fer Patel:Out there saying, oh, I would wish to a solution for X, Y, Z, or they
Fer Patel:need something, there's probably a thousand, a couple of thousand people
Fer Patel:in the same space easily based on the one person just go hunt in Reddit.
Fer Patel:You'll find the weirdest things in there while people are trying to buy, while
Fer Patel:people are looking for just, and then you can start building solutions to cater.
Fer Patel:I wouldn't say in that industry, I'm just saying, but there's
Fer Patel:always a need out there.
Fer Patel:So Tariq built a solution around ev, you know, party rentals.
Fer Patel:It was really niche specific and that Matt that he's just giving
Fer Patel:you and his avatar is those who are just tired of nine to five.
Fer Patel:And I'm gonna give you a simple business and I'm gonna give you a
Fer Patel:whole turnkey solution ready to go.
Fer Patel:So you're ready to go.
Fer Patel:Now you're on my SaaS.
Fer Patel:So people book in, they just have to go through your booking calendar,
Fer Patel:it runs an automation, hits them with the landing page, and then the
Fer Patel:triggers and the workflow, the emails,
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:About the journey and
Fer Patel:do is you pay as soon as you pay.
Fer Patel:I already know what, what, what you're looking for.
Fer Patel:Then I just know you need to know one to show up.
Fer Patel:The automation handle everything for me.
Fer Patel:So you found an niche, you found the client and now it's rinse repeat so easy.
Vit Muller:yeah.
Vit Muller:So how do you pick a niche?
Vit Muller:I think it's based on what you've done in the past.
Vit Muller:What's your experience, what's your career experience?
Vit Muller:Right.
Vit Muller:I worked in restaurants.
Vit Muller:My career, I'm a qualified cook, so way back, but I could, if I,
Vit Muller:you know, if I really sit down for a whole day and just stare, stared
Vit Muller:it at the clouds or whatever, like.
Vit Muller:stare into the horizon, stare into the nature, and just think, I'm
Vit Muller:sure I could think of a bunch of different problems that, that that
Vit Muller:industry faces and some unique stuff.
Vit Muller:It could be, you know, it could be for the restaurant owner, but it also be
Vit Muller:for the chef working in the kitchen.
Vit Muller:What, how can I help them?
Vit Muller:And, you know,
Fer Patel:but I
Fer Patel:wouldn't even,
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:the easiest solution for you, which you know, you have
Fer Patel:that, that part, but you mentioned that you were in the fitness space.
Fer Patel:The people in the fitness space, they don't have time to learn
Fer Patel:anything with software technology.
Fer Patel:All they want is.
Fer Patel:Help me get clients and handle the rest.
Fer Patel:So I just need an online booking form.
Fer Patel:They fill out a survey, then I get it in a format that makes sense to me.
Fer Patel:Okay, you want, you bought a nutrition plan, great.
Fer Patel:You filled in all the details I needed already.
Fer Patel:I don't have to ask any more questions.
Fer Patel:Then I can build you a nutrition plan, and then you can have your,
Fer Patel:you want premium coaching or services, part of that upsell, okay?
Fer Patel:Every day I'm gonna, it's automatically, you're gonna have a check-in.
Fer Patel:Reminder, SMS goes out saying, Hey, send me your journal today.
Fer Patel:Or what did you eat today?
Fer Patel:Or did you work out today?
Fer Patel:It's all automated.
Fer Patel:You don't have do anything.
Fer Patel:But people will pay for these things because now a turnkey system,
Vit Muller:Yep.
Fer Patel:that's what they want.
Fer Patel:Take away my pain point.
Fer Patel:I just want something that I can come in as an expert, deploy a whole
Fer Patel:system, launch it, and it runs for me.
Fer Patel:And I will pay for that now because now if I lose that system and you thinking
Fer Patel:I'll have to do all that myself again.
Vit Muller:Hmm.
Vit Muller:You just got me thinking about personal training again.
Vit Muller:It just brought memories of back.
Vit Muller:'cause I, I was a personal trainer for about a ad, so, there's
Vit Muller:definitely, something I could do there for, for those folks.
Fer Patel:on landing pages and everything, that's what they need.
Vit Muller:I mean, you could have a form, you could have a form like lifestyle form.
Vit Muller:You get new client signs up for personal training package, they fill it up.
Vit Muller:the output of that, you inject it into a pre-made prompt in your
Vit Muller:workflow and that generates whatever.
Vit Muller:Right.
Fer Patel:Well, with AI now, you don't even have to do anything yourself.
Fer Patel:You just kind of customize your prompt, feed it in there,
Vit Muller:once and done optimizes go, but once and done.
Vit Muller:really, it's what it is.
Vit Muller:well I'd really like to ask you about the products that
Vit Muller:you've got and, and all that.
Vit Muller:But I think before we segue into that, really wanna pick your brain on
Vit Muller:the AI as an overall like, 'cause I hear and everybody's like, you gotta
Vit Muller:talk to Fer, you gotta talk to Fer.
Vit Muller:he's got really good, wealth of knowledge of ai.
Vit Muller:did you wanna share something like unique use case or that you found, That
Vit Muller:really stood out for you over the last six months or 12 months in this space?
Fer Patel:So, you know, I'll think of one while I'm talking to you right now,
Fer Patel:but one of the things that people need to realize, LABA ai, AI is not the solution.
Fer Patel:You need to have the strategy first, have a strategy in mind,
Fer Patel:then you apply that to ai.
Fer Patel:AI is not gonna be like, oh, just throw AI at it.
Fer Patel:It will solve everything for us.
Fer Patel:Like, no, that's not gonna happen.
Fer Patel:It's like you need to know exactly what you want out of
Fer Patel:the, out of the AI solution.
Fer Patel:You gotta know what you feed into it, and then you get the output.
Fer Patel:It's like, you know, they're saying garbage in, garbage out.
Fer Patel:You can't just, AI's not gonna solve for you.
Fer Patel:It'll just make it prettier.
Fer Patel:It's still gonna be garbage.
Fer Patel:You just make it prettier.
Fer Patel:So AI in essence, will make, you, will amplify.
Fer Patel:If you're good at something, it'll amplify the good.
Fer Patel:If you're bad at something, it'll just make you look less bad.
Fer Patel:Right.
Fer Patel:So I've seen tons of examples where AI has been extremely successful.
Fer Patel:A lot of my focus in the last little while has all been around voice ai,
Fer Patel:so I'm more biased towards that side.
Fer Patel:But where we've seen tremendous examples of voice ai, funniest examples, I'll
Fer Patel:just tell you on one of my coaching calls was, someone was trying to
Fer Patel:call, a dog pooper picker upper.
Fer Patel:Like, you know, whatever, what's the official term?
Fer Patel:So they're calling them on Thursday.
Fer Patel:They wouldn't answer Friday.
Fer Patel:They didn't answer.
Fer Patel:So like, and they're paying for Google ads.
Fer Patel:They're paying for Google ads and they're not answering the phone.
Fer Patel:So now the guy was calling them, he's a marketer.
Fer Patel:He's like, no, I would just normally go, if it was anything else, you
Fer Patel:go to number two, number three.
Fer Patel:He's like, no, I'm gonna reach out to him.
Fer Patel:And then he finally got contact with him.
Fer Patel:I was like, dude, like I clicked on your ad that probably charged you five, $10.
Fer Patel:I tried calling you.
Fer Patel:You didn't respond back.
Fer Patel:So I'm gonna go to the next person in the list.
Fer Patel:So now you got charged for that Google ad for me clicking on it, but
Fer Patel:you didn't actually answer my call.
Fer Patel:And when you do call me back a couple days later, I would've
Fer Patel:moved on to someone else.
Fer Patel:What's up with that?
Fer Patel:He's like, oh, I run ads, but I'm busy at that time.
Fer Patel:I can't do them.
Fer Patel:And you can't, he can't turn it off because of whatever
Fer Patel:reason, whatever the reason was.
Fer Patel:He's like, what?
Vit Muller:I would say also sounds like you're in the business of pissing
Vit Muller:money away rather than picking up poo.
Fer Patel:Or the other way around, right?
Fer Patel:So, so he literally pitched him on that.
Fer Patel:It's like, why not use a virtual AI receptionist?
Fer Patel:He'll answer your calls 24 7 and he'll book you appointments for you while
Fer Patel:you're busy doing your other stuff.
Fer Patel:And the guy so bought it right away because he found a utility of it, he
Fer Patel:can't answer the calls while he is there.
Fer Patel:Or we had another client on a call, perfect example.
Fer Patel:'cause the question that always, always comes up all the time is, how
Fer Patel:much should I charge for the offering?
Fer Patel:Because sometimes you just don't know you, you might, you don't want to charge
Fer Patel:too cheap because then you, if you're a beginner, this is a, you know, a lot
Fer Patel:of people, if you're brand new to the space, this is a very common question.
Fer Patel:And those who are more experienced, sometimes you see snarky responses like,
Fer Patel:oh, you know, charge what you're worth.
Fer Patel:You know, like honestly, a new person coming in.
Fer Patel:He is just putting time is irrelevant to him at that point.
Fer Patel:He just wants to put in the time he'll figure it out.
Fer Patel:He's still trying to learn.
Fer Patel:So he wants to know what is the range he should be charging.
Fer Patel:That's fair.
Fer Patel:And you don't wanna come along and say, oh, voice ai, I'm gonna charge you $5,000.
Fer Patel:'cause he or someone else say it like, you know, 5,000 is because you're doing
Fer Patel:all these other things, be reasonable.
Fer Patel:So on this call, this person asking how much should he charge?
Fer Patel:Then he gave, then I told, gave him different ranges and I
Fer Patel:explained to him how to pitch it.
Fer Patel:He came back to me on the next call and says, guess what?
Fer Patel:Like what happened?
Fer Patel:One of my friends, she owns a salon and one of her employees wanted a raise and
Fer Patel:she didn't give it to her 'cause she couldn't afford it, so she quit on her.
Fer Patel:I'm like, okay.
Fer Patel:And he's like, and all that receptionist did all day was take appointments.
Fer Patel:I'm like, okay.
Fer Patel:And what, what happened over there?
Fer Patel:He is like, I sold her on the AI receptionist.
Fer Patel:I'm like, awesome, how much did you sell it for?
Fer Patel:He's like, I sold it for 597.
Fer Patel:What do you think?
Fer Patel:I'm like, that's fantastic.
Fer Patel:Your cost is $97 for the AI employee unlimited plan.
Fer Patel:And then you get your negligible cost for the phone carrier cost, very negligible.
Fer Patel:So we'll say it's gonna cost you $125.
Fer Patel:He's charging $600.
Fer Patel:He's making them, you know, 375 475.
Fer Patel:In terms of the markup.
Fer Patel:That's his revenue.
Fer Patel:That's his revenue there.
Fer Patel:And for the client, that was a steal of a deal for her.
Fer Patel:'cause she was paying that employee $2,200 a month and now
Fer Patel:she's only paying $600 a month.
Fer Patel:So she is saving $1,600.
Fer Patel:That's in her mind like, wow, I'm saving $1,600.
Fer Patel:And now the receptionist handles everything for her.
Fer Patel:And the best part or simplest part was people call in, they would just
Fer Patel:send 'em a booking link anyways.
Fer Patel:That's what she would do.
Fer Patel:She would just go on the booking link, do it that she was just send it to them.
Fer Patel:I saw her pain points.
Fer Patel:Now she doesn't have to worry.
Fer Patel:So she's happy 'cause she's saving 1600.
Fer Patel:He's happy 'cause he's making 375 475 over here.
Fer Patel:It became a win-win.
Fer Patel:So seeing how this solution is changing people's lives when it's used well
Fer Patel:and effective, it's incredible.
Fer Patel:Like, I've seen so many amazing examples where it works extremely well, but then
Fer Patel:you'll get your naysayers like, oh, you know, it's, it doesn't sound like human.
Fer Patel:Like, no one's trying to make it sound like human.
Fer Patel:I would cons, you know, tell people, say, Hey, I'm so and so's virtual
Fer Patel:AI receptionist right off the bat.
Fer Patel:Because if you don't say that, literally a minute into the call, a minute and
Fer Patel:a half into the call, someone's gonna realize, wait a minute, this is ai.
Fer Patel:And then they feel like they've been duped.
Fer Patel:Like, you just lied to me.
Fer Patel:No one likes to feel like you've been lied to on a call.
Fer Patel:Then they get frustrated.
Fer Patel:But if I tell you straight up, it's an AI receptionist, no problem.
Fer Patel:Now people are becoming more and more used to AI everywhere anyways.
Fer Patel:We already had Alexa, we already have Siri.
Fer Patel:Everyone's just used to this already.
Fer Patel:So I tell you, it's there.
Fer Patel:You'll get on a call and I actually don't mind talking to AI as long as
Fer Patel:it works because then I've seen one of our, one of your guests a Beyond, he
Fer Patel:has a restaurant, the pizza restaurant.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So he installed AI at a pizza restaurant because for those who still
Fer Patel:call in, I don't know why people call into a restaurant, like to place an order.
Fer Patel:You can do it online now, but for those who do call in, they'd get on
Fer Patel:the call like, oh, can you tell me what your specials are for today?
Vit Muller:They wanna talk for minutes and you don't have
Vit Muller:time, you're gonna make pizzas.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:And okay, I have a gluten allergy.
Fer Patel:Which of your products are I have a gluten allergy?
Fer Patel:Then they're just going on and on three, four minutes and the person like,
Fer Patel:okay, do you ready to place your order?
Fer Patel:I'm busy.
Fer Patel:You hear noise in the background, they can't even hear the
Fer Patel:person talk to you anymore.
Fer Patel:There's so many things going on.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So he added the AI receptionist there and said, Hey, I'm
Fer Patel:so-and-so's, AI receptionist or ai.
Fer Patel:Whatever you call it in his
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:pizza, ai, I don't know what the term was, whatever it was.
Fer Patel:And then what he realized is people spend four or five minutes talking to
Fer Patel:the AI and he would say, you know, so and so, when you're ready to place an
Fer Patel:order, say, I'm ready to place an order.
Fer Patel:Then it would transfer it.
Fer Patel:So people would be on the call talking to the AI and saying, oh, okay.
Fer Patel:How large is the large?
Fer Patel:Do you, do you offer halal options?
Fer Patel:do you offer gluten free then sure, I'll send you the menu right now.
Fer Patel:Then they ask you, okay, how much would this cost?
Fer Patel:What's the best sellers?
Fer Patel:They're taking their time asking questions.
Fer Patel:They don't feel rushed.
Fer Patel:Then it's like, okay, I'm ready to place order.
Fer Patel:Then once they're ready to talk to the, the, order kicker, 30
Fer Patel:seconds to a minute order is done.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:Bam.
Fer Patel:So it's solving problems.
Fer Patel:This is where AI is as effective as how you use it and
Fer Patel:utilize it in the right areas.
Fer Patel:Don't just think throw AI as a solution for every problem.
Fer Patel:Some people don't need ai.
Fer Patel:Yet for whatever they're in, but AI can help them in
Fer Patel:different areas of the business.
Fer Patel:Without a doubt.
Vit Muller:Yeah, and what I like about that example as well,
Vit Muller:so we have two examples there.
Vit Muller:The first one, the person losing a job, they asked for a raise, they
Vit Muller:probably weren't that good enough.
Vit Muller:And so they, they lost a job, whatever the reason was,
Fer Patel:They left.
Vit Muller:so, so.
Vit Muller:Okay.
Vit Muller:They left the job.
Vit Muller:Okay.
Vit Muller:Well that's, that's a, okay.
Vit Muller:So, but nevertheless, like some might be like some, some people losing jobs,
Vit Muller:let's say if it was that situation.
Vit Muller:but now we've got this example, a pizza.
Vit Muller:Nobody's losing job.
Vit Muller:In fact, it's making their jobs.
Vit Muller:I mean, I, I've worked in the pizza kitchen and a big large establishment.
Vit Muller:We have 200, 300 pizzas a night.
Vit Muller:You got the docket printing.
Vit Muller:You gotta be, you gotta been doing stuff.
Vit Muller:So it's stressful already as it is.
Vit Muller:And now you've gotta pick it up, take all it's like, yes.
Vit Muller:So now you're actually making, that workplace healthier for everybody.
Fer Patel:more efficient.
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Vit Muller:More efficient and healthier.
Vit Muller:You don't have to stress about and all that.
Vit Muller:Yes.
Vit Muller:Brilliant.
Vit Muller:so you, you, you're putting together, you're putting together something
Vit Muller:special in January, and a event in Cancun that's gonna be all about ai.
Vit Muller:Do you wanna talk to, talk to the audience about what is it?
Vit Muller:I know you've partnered out with Michael Ray on this.
Vit Muller:yeah, that's all I know.
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So it's in essence, we, we all want to learn ai, anyone, so anyone in the
Fer Patel:marketing space and then outside the marketing space, we all hear about ai.
Fer Patel:We all wanna learn about ai.
Fer Patel:We all will just watch some YouTube videos, try to figure out, but
Fer Patel:you just don't have time to really get into the weeds of it, right?
Fer Patel:So for myself, for example, I hear about vibe coding all the time.
Fer Patel:I'm like, man, I wish I could learn how to vibe code.
Vit Muller:Yeah,
Fer Patel:I watched a video.
Fer Patel:I'm like, ah, I don't wanna do this anymore.
Fer Patel:I got distracted with 10 other things.
Fer Patel:So, and this
Vit Muller:well shout, shout out to Mario.
Vit Muller:He's putting, he's, he's working on something pretty special.
Fer Patel:That's exactly it.
Fer Patel:So, you know, I, I chat with Mario about it.
Fer Patel:I put posts on, Hey, what vibe coding tool should we be using?
Fer Patel:I get a thousand different options.
Fer Patel:I'm like, you know what, at this point I'll just put this on pause.
Fer Patel:Let me figure it out.
Fer Patel:Or video ai, I would see Michael Reimer doing a bunch of stuff on
Fer Patel:video ai, but that's pretty cool.
Fer Patel:He, like, he animated our logo, like, how do you do all that stuff?
Fer Patel:It's just that little part from, I don't know, to like, oh my
Fer Patel:God, I know how to do it now.
Fer Patel:A lot of people don't spend that time figuring it out.
Fer Patel:They don't have the opportunity or they just don't know where to get started.
Fer Patel:So knowing that, and this is my person personality, a lot of other
Fer Patel:people are like, I don't know how to do that, because they haven't
Fer Patel:spent the time to figure it out.
Fer Patel:So the, or the event I'm trying to organize right now is let's dissect every
Fer Patel:single tool that someone can utilize in their toolkit and make money with.
Fer Patel:Learning it and putting in your back pocket like what we all used to do.
Fer Patel:Learn high level, learn ClickFunnels, put in your back
Fer Patel:pocket, doesn't make you money.
Fer Patel:That's fantastic.
Fer Patel:You're a high level expert or ClickFunnels expert.
Fer Patel:It's fantastic.
Fer Patel:Are you making money with it or not?
Fer Patel:You're not.
Fer Patel:Your job is not to keep learning about it.
Fer Patel:It's to learn to turn it into something you make money with.
Fer Patel:Turn it into a revenue opportunity.
Fer Patel:So we're gonna go through specific AI topics.
Fer Patel:So we're gonna cover video ai for example.
Fer Patel:How do you use AI to generate videos that you can sell and make money
Fer Patel:with or utilize for your business, utilize for your clients how to
Fer Patel:make commercials, and people will charge 500 to $1,500 per video.
Fer Patel:Now you can do it for five to $10 and you can sell it at 500 to a
Fer Patel:thousand dollars in terms of value.
Fer Patel:We're gonna show people what tools to use, how to prompt it, how to build
Fer Patel:it, and how to sell it every single.
Fer Patel:AI area is gonna be focused on.
Fer Patel:We're gonna show it to you, and we're actually trying to do, we're making our
Fer Patel:best effort right now for everything I'm pushing out right now for the AI event.
Fer Patel:We're trying to use AI as much as possible on our side.
Fer Patel:It's kind of dog fooding on our side.
Fer Patel:So whenever we push out a video, we want to use AI as much as we can on the
Vit Muller:The practice.
Vit Muller:Practice what you're gonna be preaching.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:It's cool.
Fer Patel:pretty much.
Fer Patel:And then we'll try to do it behind the scenes like, this is what we
Fer Patel:did, this is how we did it, and then we're gonna ask everyone in
Fer Patel:the audience, now is your turn.
Fer Patel:Everyone has to do it with us.
Fer Patel:It's a hands-on event.
Fer Patel:You're not sitting back and listening.
Fer Patel:You're gonna
Fer Patel:be actively engaged.
Fer Patel:It's a workshop.
Fer Patel:So every single person there, the goal is if we're gonna be do videos,
Fer Patel:every single person will have to have their own video produced at
Fer Patel:the end of that specific workshop.
Fer Patel:Obviously, it's not gonna be that hard.
Fer Patel:We're gonna prompt them, show 'em examples, then do something
Fer Patel:that's specific to your business.
Fer Patel:So you might want to create a video around.
Fer Patel:A podcast commercial or you know, a video around, selling something, you know, a
Fer Patel:busy kitchen and busy on the phone and selling pizza, and you need a solution.
Fer Patel:We can implement video ai or voice AI for you.
Fer Patel:A little mini commercial.
Fer Patel:So every single person, we're gonna show them an example with us.
Fer Patel:Follow along.
Fer Patel:Now carve out, do something specific for your own needs so you have an
Fer Patel:asset that you're done in that, that workshop, we'll do something.
Fer Patel:Video, voice ai.
Fer Patel:Everyone's gonna build their own voice AI agent that will
Fer Patel:be specific for their needs.
Fer Patel:We'll do something chat bot related.
Fer Patel:We're gonna be using certain tools.
Fer Patel:You're gonna build a chat bot and it'll be you deploy it and we will demo it.
Fer Patel:And I want everyone to have a demoable product for everything we do, for every
Fer Patel:topic area we're doing because you're, you, you're literally gonna walk away with
Fer Patel:not just a toolkit, but all the tools.
Fer Patel:You know how to sell them as well.
Fer Patel:So I'm bringing people who are sales experts as well saying, that's fantastic.
Fer Patel:Now you know how to do videos.
Fer Patel:How are you gonna sell it?
Fer Patel:What's your pitch?
Fer Patel:How are you gonna sell to a client?
Fer Patel:How are you gonna make money with it?
Fer Patel:It's fantastic.
Fer Patel:You know how to do vibe coding, but are you making money vibe coding or are you
Fer Patel:just sitting there all day long vibe, coding, building amazing softwares,
Fer Patel:but you, you haven't made a dime.
Fer Patel:So the main objective where I feel if I, the success of the event or the goal I'm
Fer Patel:going for is every single person there will have a new tool in their toolkit
Fer Patel:for every topic we're talking about, and they will know how to sell that
Fer Patel:tool as well and make money off of it.
Fer Patel:That's the goal.
Fer Patel:That's my ambition for this event.
Fer Patel:I want people to be able to make money from everything
Fer Patel:they're learning over there.
Fer Patel:That's why even I'm trying to be very.
Fer Patel:Calibrate even our messaging on the page saying you, you're not coming here
Fer Patel:to have fun and sit back and relax.
Fer Patel:This is not gonna be a passive event all day long.
Fer Patel:You're gonna be actively engaged, following along and
Fer Patel:learning from all the experts.
Fer Patel:So even all the speakers I'm bringing, we're calling the code nine speakers.
Fer Patel:They're coaches or teachers, they're all engaged with you.
Fer Patel:So we're gonna cross train every single coach as well.
Fer Patel:So if you struggle at one point, you'll have all the other coaches
Fer Patel:helping you out because every single person, we're pulling them along with
Fer Patel:us, they have to succeed with us.
Fer Patel:I don't, I'm not gonna, you know, I don't expect anyone to be falling
Fer Patel:behind because it's not hard.
Fer Patel:We're gonna have a roadmap for everyone to follow.
Fer Patel:We're gonna tell you what tools to follow.
Fer Patel:You're gonna learn, and at the end you can walk away saying,
Fer Patel:I can sell any of these things.
Fer Patel:Now you choose now what you wanna sell, what you want to add to your agency.
Fer Patel:It's all up to you.
Vit Muller:H Here's what I like about this opport, this opportunity.
Vit Muller:I think we're on the verge of, and this is gonna happen.
Vit Muller:I, I reckon.
Vit Muller:Right about November, I'm predicting right, black Friday's gonna hit, there's
Vit Muller:gonna be a lot more offers being put out.
Vit Muller:Christmas time, time to chill out, you know, you know, time to maybe
Vit Muller:look at online, not being stressed about work, time to explore.
Vit Muller:Business owners are gonna be looking at what's gonna be my cutting
Vit Muller:edge to 2026, all that stuff.
Vit Muller:And I'm predicting next year what we're gonna see, our fast adoption
Vit Muller:of these tools this year has been some, some are doing it, some are not.
Vit Muller:Some are skeptical.
Vit Muller:I think, you know, we, you know, what do they call that?
Vit Muller:The curve thing, the J curve, whatever.
Vit Muller:I think we're on the bridge of that j of kicking off, and I think it's
Vit Muller:gonna happen at the start of next year.
Vit Muller:So, big thing is gonna be ai, like a lot more business owners.
Vit Muller:I, I, I, I, I'm 99% like, sure this will happen.
Vit Muller:A lot more business owners are actually gonna be proactively looking, how do
Vit Muller:we implement that in our business?
Vit Muller:And not just for efficiency, but like for everything, sales,
Vit Muller:marketing, everything, because it's.
Vit Muller:It's a, it's a such a cutting edge advantage that it's no longer a
Vit Muller:question of if you want to, it's almost like it's non-negotiable
Vit Muller:if you wanna continue staying in business and, and be competitive.
Vit Muller:So this is a great investment.
Vit Muller:This is, I think this is a great opportunity.
Vit Muller:You're gonna be doing it in a nice location, so I, I assume
Vit Muller:there's gonna be some time to chill in the evenings or whatever.
Fer Patel:You know, the evenings are there to chill to a certain point.
Fer Patel:Up to then, like during the day, follow along and I guarantee
Fer Patel:you'll get the results.
Fer Patel:That's during the day evening.
Fer Patel:You could do as you wish.
Fer Patel:It's all inclusive resorts, so you're gonna have fun.
Fer Patel:But for those who want to geek out a little bit more in the evening,
Fer Patel:we're gonna have more curated, more intimate training sessions for people
Fer Patel:who want to geek out specific topics
Fer Patel:with specific, teachers will have a very limited thing.
Fer Patel:It'll be like maybe eight to one ratio for very specific audiences who choose
Fer Patel:to opt into that because, I, my, again, my goal is for everyone to walk away
Fer Patel:from this event saying, I understand everything I need to know about ai.
Fer Patel:You're not gonna be an expert, but we're gonna take you from beginner
Fer Patel:to an intermediate, and I've exposed you to everything you need to know.
Fer Patel:Now, any one of these topics come up, someone says, oh, you
Fer Patel:know, I need to, I need a video.
Fer Patel:I got it.
Fer Patel:I know how to do it.
Fer Patel:You know what tool to go to.
Fer Patel:You can throw it together and within a half an hour.
Fer Patel:You can do it, but it's a five star all inclusive resort.
Fer Patel:One of the criteria I had when I was selecting the venue as well is,
Fer Patel:you know, I'm a first time event organizer as a whole of this level.
Fer Patel:I've spoken to other event organizers who've done something similar.
Fer Patel:One of my criteria was how do I make, find the best venue for
Fer Patel:the cheapest price possible?
Fer Patel:Because I'm passing the cost savings onto people not putting the markup.
Fer Patel:So even right now, you know, I don't know when people are listening to
Fer Patel:this, so they're gonna, they might feel bad after hearing about it.
Fer Patel:We have our early bird special going on right now
Vit Muller:Yep.
Fer Patel:as of now, that after we hit the target number we need for the early
Fer Patel:bird, then the prices will go up, in different phases, in different tiers.
Fer Patel:But the reason why we're doing it this way is we're trying to make it as
Fer Patel:cost effective as possible, because we know the audience that will be coming.
Fer Patel:These are people who are investing in their education and they want to learn.
Fer Patel:They're taking time away from their business, or they want to level up.
Fer Patel:They want to take it to another level for their skillset.
Fer Patel:Or they want to get better at it.
Fer Patel:I, I have some people who are investing, like literally the example you had,
Fer Patel:they're, they're a family run business.
Fer Patel:They need to learn more about AI and technology for their business.
Fer Patel:So one of the, the son of that business is coming to this event so he can bring
Fer Patel:it back to the family business, everything he's learning to help grow their business.
Fer Patel:Because a
Vit Muller:it doesn't have to be just agencies.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:It could be anybody really.
Fer Patel:no.
Fer Patel:So I'm trying to branch out from the agency world, the marketing world.
Fer Patel:It's, if you're a business owner, you don't even have to be using high level.
Fer Patel:It doesn't matter.
Fer Patel:This is an AI event, not a high level event.
Fer Patel:A
Fer Patel:high level will be one of the tools in our toolkit that we'll be using for
Fer Patel:specific things, but you don't need to be a high level user or member in
Fer Patel:order to, to do what we're trying to do.
Fer Patel:So it's open to everyone in high level, outside of high level, as long
Fer Patel:as you're passionate about learning about AI and you want to do better.
Fer Patel:This is the people we have there.
Fer Patel:I've chosen specific speakers based not on their popularity, because
Fer Patel:just because someone's very popular in the AI space doesn't mean
Fer Patel:they're great at being an AI coach.
Fer Patel:Right.
Fer Patel:There's a, There's
Fer Patel:a
Vit Muller:important.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:very important, because I, you know, I've, I've been
Fer Patel:fortunate to be on both sides.
Fer Patel:I've spoken to a lot of people in the AI space as well.
Fer Patel:some people have fantastic followings, large followings, and they're great
Fer Patel:at content pushing it all out there.
Fer Patel:But they don't know, they're not very, they're not AI users or they're just more
Fer Patel:of a content generator around AI for them.
Vit Muller:Mm-hmm.
Fer Patel:So I'm selecting people who use it and understand it at a user level,
Fer Patel:and they know how to teach it as well.
Fer Patel:So that's why the, you know, I've had people reach out to me, oh,
Fer Patel:I wanna talk about, I'm like.
Fer Patel:These speakers I have are very specific because they know
Fer Patel:their subject matter very well.
Fer Patel:That's what we want them to be.
Fer Patel:I don't need the most popular person there or the most AI savvy that you hear about.
Fer Patel:I want people who I know know the AI at a very tangible level.
Vit Muller:I love it.
Vit Muller:so when is the event?
Vit Muller:How many days does it go for and where do they, how do they sign up for this?
Fer Patel:So the website is AI Unleashed Intensive.
Fer Patel:So three words, aiunleashedintensive.com.
Fer Patel:It is taking place January 28th to 30th.
Fer Patel:So people would arrive on the 27th.
Fer Patel:if people opt in for a VIP package, they would come in one
Fer Patel:day earlier on the 26th instead.
Fer Patel:And we have all the details around the VIP offering as on the website itself,
Fer Patel:and it's taking place in Cancun, Mexico.
Fer Patel:So for those who are in the states.
Fer Patel:It's a couple hundred bucks to fly down from anywhere pretty much in the States.
Fer Patel:That's why it's a, it's a des travel destination super cheap.
Fer Patel:in terms of traveling, I think when I was pricing it out, I was, again, I'm,
Fer Patel:I'm, I was very conscious on the dates as well, so whenever I would look at the
Fer Patel:dates, I would go into Expedia, price line, search, those dates from major hubs.
Fer Patel:How much would it cost for tickets flying at that time?
Fer Patel:And it was $300 to go from New York to Cancun, $300.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Vit Muller:Right.
Fer Patel:And that's incredible.
Fer Patel:So that's why I'm trying to find a way to make the travel
Fer Patel:expense as cheap as possible.
Fer Patel:Once you're there, the, it's all inclusive resort.
Fer Patel:Everything's bundled in within our ticket and our, package price, which is almost,
Fer Patel:almost say 60% cheaper or 40 or 50% cheaper than other packages you would see
Fer Patel:similar to that, to those destinations.
Fer Patel:So it's.
Fer Patel:You know, as being a first time event organizer, my goal is not to
Fer Patel:make money on this event, per se.
Fer Patel:It is to deliver on the promise of what I'm trying to teach.
Fer Patel:That's what we're trying to do, and that's the promise I'm
Fer Patel:trying to ensure we achieve.
Fer Patel:That's the event that we're doing.
Vit Muller:I love it.
Vit Muller:I love it.
Vit Muller:So guys, so definitely check it out.
Vit Muller:I think it's definitely worth the investment.
Vit Muller:I, I mean, I would consider it as well if it wasn't for, you know, having other
Vit Muller:things on, on at the time, unfortunately.
Fer Patel:Have some other Australians coming down, just letting you know.
Vit Muller:yeah.
Vit Muller:Okay.
Vit Muller:Alright, well I'll, I'll think about it.
Vit Muller:I mean, I'll see what I can do.
Vit Muller:now we, we've got, I'm just conscious of time But I do wanna talk to you about
Vit Muller:like, I would like to share, I'd like you to share a little bit about your product.
Vit Muller:You're a super clon and a super editor.
Vit Muller:How did, like, let's start with the super cloner.
Vit Muller:I've seen, I've seen the link on the Facebook, I think Mario or
Vit Muller:somebody posted it and I looked at it like, oh, this is really cool.
Vit Muller:But how did you come up with that concept and what problem were
Vit Muller:you solving that no one else was?
Fer Patel:So let's take a step back.
Fer Patel:Actually, I started with Super Editor,
Fer Patel:so that was my first tool, super editor, and it's again,
Fer Patel:so it was such a simple tool.
Fer Patel:But the pain point I was solving, why it came about was I had a funnel on one of my
Fer Patel:accounts and I had a spelling error on it.
Fer Patel:So I'm trying to find out, oh, I gotta go fix this funnel, but
Fer Patel:I don't remember which account.
Fer Patel:I couldn't find where that funnel was located.
Fer Patel:So I went into my sub account.
Fer Patel:I went through every search, search, barely finds you anything.
Fer Patel:So I was going through every single account, every single
Fer Patel:funnel, step to find it.
Fer Patel:I spent almost two and a half hours looking for that one page.
Fer Patel:Then I realized it was on another sub-account.
Fer Patel:I barely used.
Fer Patel:I'm like, why did I even put it on that account?
Fer Patel:I don't understand why.
Fer Patel:But then I found it after two and a half hours and I'm thinking, man, this,
Fer Patel:this sure has to be an easier way.
Fer Patel:And this solution Super Editor, is a simple Chrome extension on top of
Fer Patel:your page, you know, simple Chrome extension that you just click on the
Fer Patel:Chrome extension, it will detect if it's a high level page, first of all.
Fer Patel:So it indicates it's a high level page.
Fer Patel:Then once you get there, you just simply click on the extension.
Fer Patel:It'll open up a box and say, you know, edit content.
Fer Patel:If you click on edit content, it'll drill you directly to that
Fer Patel:subaccount, to that funnel, to that step and open up in the builder.
Fer Patel:So spend sending you spending five or two, three minutes trying to
Fer Patel:look for, in the best case scenario, it's opened in five to 10 seconds.
Vit Muller:Right.
Fer Patel:So that is,
Vit Muller:mean, if, if you wanted to share a screen, show a quick demo of it.
Vit Muller:If it's quick, I don't know.
Fer Patel:Let me make sure I'm at the right.
Fer Patel:Okay, let's do it.
Vit Muller:You can show it to the guys.
Vit Muller:Now, guys, if you are listening, obviously you won't see it, but, we do have a, a
Vit Muller:YouTube channel, so if you head over to YouTube, you can, we do share screens
Vit Muller:on a lot of these episodes to, you know, to showcase the demo of these products.
Vit Muller:So I would like to invite you to check out our YouTube channel right there.
Vit Muller:Give it a subscribe, give it a like, would appreciate you guys doing that.
Fer Patel:All right, so let me
Vit Muller:we go.
Fer Patel:you see my screen.
Vit Muller:Yes.
Vit Muller:Let me just drag
Fer Patel:so this is my super editor page, and the whole idea is
Fer Patel:one click access to your builder.
Fer Patel:So this is the extension on top right here, super editor, and it lights up.
Fer Patel:It says, Hey, I have access.
Fer Patel:You know, super editor has access to page.
Fer Patel:That means it's a, we know it's a, it's a high level page or funnel.
Fer Patel:So if I wanted to, I come to this page and I realize, oh, there's
Fer Patel:a spelling error right here.
Fer Patel:I simply click on this page right here.
Fer Patel:It'll open up a box, say edit content.
Fer Patel:Which sub account do I want to go into?
Fer Patel:In this case here, I know it's under my main account.
Fer Patel:Hopefully I'm logged in.
Vit Muller:I'm not, are you?
Vit Muller:I I'm only seeing the screen share of that thing.
Vit Muller:Oh, you're getting it?
Vit Muller:Okay, cool.
Fer Patel:I think just then it drilled right in.
Fer Patel:So now it opened up directly into the editor of the page itself.
Fer Patel:Now?
Vit Muller:So as long as you're logged in, it takes you straight there.
Vit Muller:If you're not logged in, it'll prompt you to log in.
Fer Patel:Yeah, it is.
Fer Patel:I do nothing on the security side.
Fer Patel:All I'm doing is routing you directly to your account the same way as
Fer Patel:you normally do with copy paste.
Fer Patel:So that's, that's what the tool does overall.
Fer Patel:So it's a such a simple little tool that it will just drill
Fer Patel:you in and I give it away.
Fer Patel:One free license on a sub.
Fer Patel:You know, if you anyone comes to it, they go supereditor.cc, they can install
Fer Patel:it Chrome extension to use simply on their own, white label account.
Fer Patel:Then they can use it for free.
Fer Patel:One installation.
Fer Patel:And then hopefully you like it, you wanna share with other people.
Fer Patel:It's, it's, we have one installation for that white label.
Fer Patel:If you want someone else to use it, you gotta subscribe to the plan.
Fer Patel:That's the whole idea.
Vit Muller:So that's super editor.
Vit Muller:You've got two more tools.
Vit Muller:I've seen the migration tool and then there was another one, the Cloner.
Vit Muller:Do you wanna unpack those?
Fer Patel:now super cloner, it just came about because anyone
Fer Patel:who's building funnels or, you know, sometimes just doing things yourself
Fer Patel:is so much faster than having to hire someone, explain it to them.
Fer Patel:So sometimes I see a, I see a nice page, I'm like, this is a really nice page.
Fer Patel:Then I'm like, I like the layout, I like the structure, I like
Fer Patel:how they laid out their menu.
Fer Patel:I don't care about the content.
Fer Patel:The content's completely irrelevant to me because it's like a template for me.
Fer Patel:I look at these things as templates.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So Super Cloner will let you go to any high level website or funnel.
Fer Patel:You simply click on the cloner, icon itself.
Fer Patel:You copy, it'll copy the whole page.
Fer Patel:They'll scan the whole page, copy it.
Fer Patel:Then you open up or go to your funnel builder section on an empty builder.
Fer Patel:Then you click on that again and paste and it paste it right in.
Vit Muller:All the elements, all the custom CSS, everything, all.
Fer Patel:it copies it 100% as is you're ready to go.
Fer Patel:And now part of the disclaimer I always have to make just because you
Fer Patel:always get those people who will listen like, like, oh, that's not right.
Fer Patel:You can't do that.
Fer Patel:I'm like, what are, what are you doing after you copy paste?
Fer Patel:Are you gonna go live with someone else's website?
Fer Patel:You'd be foolish to do that.
Fer Patel:What you want are trying to do now is like, okay, change
Fer Patel:their logo to your own logo.
Fer Patel:Change the images to your own images.
Fer Patel:Change the content to your own content.
Fer Patel:All you're really doing is trying to get the structure, the layout.
Fer Patel:'cause that takes so much time.
Fer Patel:I've built funnels and like I go through desktop view, then I'm like,
Fer Patel:oh, I forgot about the mobile view.
Fer Patel:Oh, the mobile's broken.
Fer Patel:Now I gotta fix over here.
Fer Patel:All these things.
Fer Patel:Take five to six hours to get a landing page going nicely.
Fer Patel:Imagine you find something you really like, copy, paste, go modify your live.
Fer Patel:And now I don't have to go hire someone to do it.
Fer Patel:Normally you go spend something maybe a hundred dollars, 150
Fer Patel:bucks for someone to do the page.
Fer Patel:Now you pay per credit.
Fer Patel:You clone the page.
Fer Patel:You can edit it yourself in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on what
Fer Patel:you're doing nowadays with chat.
Fer Patel:GPT, go in there, okay, I need a header content over here.
Fer Patel:Paste it in.
Fer Patel:Do that.
Fer Patel:You do it over and over again.
Fer Patel:You have a page ready to roll out in an hour, you're live.
Fer Patel:I have people who sometimes like someone's like, this is a nice checkout page.
Fer Patel:They just like how the structure is.
Fer Patel:It's a checkout page.
Fer Patel:They just like, oh, they added little sections over here.
Fer Patel:They did that.
Fer Patel:That's perfect.
Fer Patel:I can do the same thing.
Fer Patel:And they clone that.
Fer Patel:They change all the images out there, obviously, and make it their own.
Fer Patel:And as a disclaimer, you know, I say clone responsibly, don't
Fer Patel:steal someone else's content.
Fer Patel:That's not the whole point of this.
Fer Patel:The whole point is you're trying to use it as a template.
Fer Patel:To structure it and then build something off because no one in
Fer Patel:their right mind will clone it and go live with the exact same thing.
Fer Patel:Because if you do that, you would get flamed and destroyed online.
Fer Patel:You're not trying to copy someone's stuff.
Vit Muller:That's it.
Vit Muller:That's it.
Vit Muller:So guys, so do the right thing and you know, all all the way down to make
Vit Muller:sure, like, change the bloody colors.
Vit Muller:Like you've got your own branding, please change it.
Vit Muller:do the right thing.
Vit Muller:And I think if it's right, if it's used for the right reasons,
Vit Muller:I think it's a really good tool.
Vit Muller:I'm definitely gonna check it out.
Fer Patel:Yeah.
Fer Patel:I've heard no complaints from people overall about it.
Fer Patel:They've had great success.
Fer Patel:I had amazing success.
Fer Patel:Success stories from people, how they're extremely, I get a lot of feedback.
Fer Patel:They go, oh my God, this is amazing.
Fer Patel:It's fantastic.
Fer Patel:I love what you did here.
Fer Patel:It saves them time because if you're an agency owner of 3, 4, 5 people,
Fer Patel:you don't have time to do it yourself.
Fer Patel:You just can give it to one of your guys.
Fer Patel:Just go clone this page.
Fer Patel:I like this page.
Fer Patel:What do you do when normally when you want to build a new website?
Fer Patel:The first question is like, what type of websites do you like?
Fer Patel:You give 'em examples.
Vit Muller:Yeah.
Fer Patel:So now it's like, here cone, this page, change this.
Fer Patel:Let's go live.
Fer Patel:We're ready to go live in an hour.
Vit Muller:Brilliant.
Vit Muller:now if this wasn't controversial enough for some, the last tool will
Vit Muller:probably will be the most, your
Fer Patel:The last one is actually, so I have another tool that I
Fer Patel:built called Super Migrator.
Fer Patel:So that one is not a tool I have to, we, I took a step back on this tool here.
Fer Patel:I'm not gonna publish it for the public to use ever, because it's,
Fer Patel:it's too dangerous to be in the wild.
Fer Patel:It's a tool that will help.
Fer Patel:It's a service.
Fer Patel:It's a service offering.
Fer Patel:We do.
Fer Patel:So if now, again, my disclaimers over here and why I built it.
Fer Patel:When we are, I was working at high level, I would see so many people
Fer Patel:complain about how working with rogue agency owners who would, they're no
Fer Patel:longer answering their questions.
Fer Patel:They're stuck in there.
Fer Patel:They won't eject them, they won't give 'em a snapshot, and
Fer Patel:now they're forced to go rebuild everything step by step themselves.
Fer Patel:It's taking them six weeks to eight weeks to rebuild everything.
Fer Patel:Or they hire someone that'll cost them 3 to $5,000 to do, it's not one example.
Fer Patel:I've seen 30 to 50 different examples of these things happening, but it just
Fer Patel:can't, just, luckily, somehow we stumbled upon how to build something in a, with
Fer Patel:doing all these tools, we got better and better and we're like, wait a minute, we
Fer Patel:can now we can drill into your account.
Fer Patel:Great.
Fer Patel:We can clone a public facing page.
Fer Patel:Great.
Fer Patel:Now we can go into any subaccount and clone the whole subaccount.
Fer Patel:So I can come in there and say, I want to copy all the funnels and we can
Fer Patel:paste all the funnels somewhere else.
Fer Patel:I can copy all your websites, paste all the websites somewhere else, copy all
Fer Patel:your workflows, paste it somewhere else, copy all your tags, your custom values
Fer Patel:with the values and bring them over.
Fer Patel:So it's not as good as an ejection.
Fer Patel:Ejection is a hundred percent exactly as is.
Fer Patel:You're just changing the.
Fer Patel:Agency owner, but it's better than a snapshot because I'm bringing
Fer Patel:along your custom values as well.
Fer Patel:And I'm gonna be able to export your contacts with the notes in there as well.
Vit Muller:What about conversation history?
Fer Patel:conversation history.
Fer Patel:We are extracting conversation history and adding it to your notes
Fer Patel:only because we, you can't keep it in it's, that's a database level.
Fer Patel:We can't touch that.
Vit Muller:Yeah, so that's that.
Vit Muller:The ejecting is, yeah.
Fer Patel:that eject me better.
Fer Patel:So this is super migrator and it's a tool that on demand.
Fer Patel:I've actually refused two people who come to me to, migrate this
Fer Patel:stuff because in the end, I knew who the agency owner was already.
Fer Patel:I know, like, honestly, I know most of the agency owners, whatever, what's going on.
Fer Patel:I'm like, in their case, they were trying to take all the, they had very minimal ip.
Fer Patel:They wanted to take the agency owner's IP with them.
Fer Patel:I'm like, so in those cases I would decline them and or refund them.
Fer Patel:Like I don't need to be involved at, I'm looking at a case of.
Fer Patel:They can easily rebuild it.
Fer Patel:If they wanna rebuild it, they can do it on their own.
Fer Patel:It has nothing to do with me.
Fer Patel:I won't involve myself when I know it's clearly they're just
Fer Patel:trying to take someone else's ip.
Vit Muller:Mm-hmm.
Fer Patel:So super migrator, it's a fantastic tool.
Fer Patel:It's one of those things when people are trying to leave an agency account,
Fer Patel:you know, it's, I understand the, I understand a hundred percent
Fer Patel:the controversy involved here.
Fer Patel:It's like I'm helping people leave other agency accounts.
Fer Patel:Look, they're leaving anyways.
Fer Patel:I'm just facilitating the transfer for them in a more cleaner manner, and at
Fer Patel:the same time, it's already happening.
Fer Patel:If they're leaving, they're leaving.
Fer Patel:So it's up to the agency owner saying, why don't you monetize?
Fer Patel:If they're leaving, charge them to eject them or let them rebuild it on their own.
Fer Patel:It's up to you.
Vit Muller:like the, the, the red flags for me is like a really simple one is if
Vit Muller:you are under an agency and they do not even let you export your contact list.
Fer Patel:Oh yeah,
Vit Muller:That's like, yeah.
Vit Muller:So we could.
Fer Patel:can do that.
Vit Muller:Brilliant.
Fer Patel:I extract your contact list.
Vit Muller:we, we could rant on forever,
Vit Muller:So, Fer, let's, we put together a bit of an offer, for you guys.
Vit Muller:so you guys can get 25% off on, I dunno if it's all these tools,
Vit Muller:but Fer, do you wanna unpack that offer and where do they go?
Fer Patel:Yeah, so the, what was the offer you said on We set the
Vit Muller:I think you mentioned 25% off for the listeners
Fer Patel:You know what?
Fer Patel:Let's just do 30%.
Fer Patel:We'll do 30% off for all your listeners.
Fer Patel:we'll do super clon.
Fer Patel:We'll give everyone a 30% discount.
Fer Patel:Who's listening and what was the code that we agreed upon in there?

Vit Muller:that'll take you to a landing page.
Vit Muller:We get to, read bit more about the offer, and then there's gonna be a button for
Vit Muller:you guys to click on that'll take you to the actual way you complete the purchase.
Vit Muller:I will put the promo code on that landing page, on that initial landing page.
Vit Muller:If you scroll down below the fold, there's gonna be some other,
Vit Muller:offers that I've got as well.

Fer Patel:It's gonna save them a ton of time.
Fer Patel:we'll give 30% discount to all your listeners.
Fer Patel:It will be on the landing page at the same time.
Fer Patel:Check out super editor.
Fer Patel:You don't know how valuable it is until you actually use it.
Fer Patel:I had people like Mario.
Fer Patel:Mario, I showed him Super Editor initially at the beginning.
Fer Patel:He was less polite about it, and he pretty much said what a useless tool that is.
Fer Patel:That's in, you know, simpler terms.
Fer Patel:Like what a useless tool.
Fer Patel:Why'd you waste your time on that?
Fer Patel:That's what he told me until he came back to me four weeks later.
Fer Patel:He was like, oh my God, I need your tool.
Fer Patel:Then he got it.
Fer Patel:Then he's like, this is the greatest tool in the world.
Fer Patel:I'm like, yes, because it's so, I use it probably 15 times a day because
Fer Patel:I just, I don't ever go into the funnel builder itself and search ever.
Fer Patel:I'll just go to the page publicly, click edit right into the page.
Fer Patel:I don't wanna waste time navigating.
Fer Patel:So the, the purpose of the tool is to just save time and simplify your day to day.
Fer Patel:Take away the wasted clicking and the time consuming part and get straight to
Fer Patel:the stuff that will bring you the ROI.
Vit Muller:Brilliant.
Vit Muller:Fer.
