This video outlines five proven methods for acquiring high-ticket AI clients for an agency, targeting businesses seeking AI agents and automation. The speaker, Yiannis, emphasizes that these methods work regardless of coding experience. He promises viewers that implementing at least one method will lead to a client within 30 days or bring them very close to signing one.
YouTube Funnel: Building a YouTube presence with consistent, high-quality, long-form content positions you as an expert, attracting clients organically. The speaker uses a niche-focused approach, creating videos addressing specific use cases within target industries. This inbound strategy shifts from actively searching for clients ("hunting") to attracting them passively ("fishing").
Cold Email Funnel: Despite the negative reputation, a well-executed cold email campaign can generate significant revenue. The speaker advocates for personalized messaging, leading with a free AI workshop to educate potential clients and build trust before pitching services.
LinkedIn Outreach Funnel: Used in conjunction with cold email, automated LinkedIn outreach can generate a high volume of qualified sales calls. A case study is presented where a client booked two meetings per day using this method.
In-Person Events: Attending industry events, even simply as an audience member, allows for direct networking and relationship-building. The speaker notes several clients secured through this method, citing deals ranging from $2,000 to $15,000.
Referrals & Upselling: Exceptional client service results in referrals and opportunities to upsell existing clients with additional services, streamlining existing processes with further automation.
