Claude Bot - Work on The Business and In the Business at the Same Time
I've been trying to get a lot of the people I coach on this but if you are feeling stretched for time, and have a lot on your plate to try and do - the answer is Claude Bot. This is an extension for your Chrome browser. Everyone know what Claude is but I've always been annoyed because AI can tell you how to do everything but you have to do it. You still have to find where to click, find the setting, learn the interface. Claude Bot DOES THE CLICKING FOR YOU. It's unreal. These are projects I've been sitting on that I've knocked out THIS MONTH!! An estimator for my website. Dude I've been having a crappy half finished estimator on my website for a couple years. I asked Claude bot to revamp my estimator on my website to what is going to make the most sense, give me revisions, help me with prices, then test it. laude Bot says - well if I test this you'll have a bunch of emails in your inbox from the testing. I said that's cool you delete them. Then tell me the results. The only thing is it wasn't' able to put pictures in there. No worries Claude bot, I can manage that. This is The Result Next up - I fired my SEO company. I asked Claude bot to go through my website make a punch list of everything that could be improved SEO wise and help with our rankings. Then I asked it to do the things it's able to and make a list with SOPs for the things it can't. Put them in tasks in my company click up for my VA so she can easily go through everything. Set up tasks that need to be reoccurring and set up tasks we can use Claude bot for. Boom done. Fix and optimize my Go High Level - I paid someone to do my automations but there were some things I didn't like. I didn't want to pay her to make adjustments and also wait for them but I don't want to learn to navigate go high level. Ok Claude bot - do that. All the time I'm doing this, I just have that running on one screen then the other computer screen I'm knocking out quotes or putting together content. Oh ya I also made a dashboard for our click up so I can see where everyone is at with projects in one place, have it help me do quotes if I'm watching football or generally don't have the energy to do the things I need to do, and have it put my calendar together for the next week in a few minutes. YOU GUYS NEED TO GET ON THIS! Yes - you'll end up needing to spend money. But TIME is money. It can save you so much time.How to Present Home Service Agreements Seemlessly
So we are in California and Home Service Agreements are a part of life. But did you know there is a place to put this in your contract so it covers your butt and your clients? At the bottom of your quotes there is a contract/ disclaimer section to put yours in easily. Do you have different types of jobs that require different disclaimers? Great - AnthonySalazar just did a post about templates. You can make a different contract for each one. One thing to consider - not everyone reads this. Kind of understandable. These are the not fun things about a job. One idea is to make a fun video about what's in it and send it to them when they accept a quote. Don't judge, we made this video a couple years ago but it's a good illustration of what you can do. Honestly you can make it on your phone Our Video on You Tube Another Idea is to have it as an attachment that you send out every time. This is less ideal because I like getting their signature on the document itself. Either way - make sure you are putting this in your quotes. If someone comes back to you about something that's in your contract you are covered!How Are Home Service Businesses Preparing for AI Search Visibility?
