From the Frontlines: Big Wins, Major Events & Your VIP Access

What an absolutely incredible ride it’s been lately in the world of AI, community, and events. Let me give you the inside scoop—and a few can’t-miss opportunities you need to know about!

First off, a massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at AI Marketing World with Austin Armstrong in Dallas. The energy was electric—we packed the room, had 55 people at our live coding session night, and 24 of you walked away with brand-new apps in hand. Nothing makes me happier than helping this community take action and get results, so keep sharing your wins!

Then it was on to HighLevel’s Level Up Summit, and wow—what a whirlwind! Over 300 new features and updates announced (seriously, game-changing stuff). Even better, I got to reconnect with our amazing marketing family, internet friends, channel fans, and meet a ton of supporters in person. Don’t be shy—if you see me at an event, come say hi! I absolutely love hearing your stories and helping however I can.

On top of all that, we got to bring home some serious hardware:

• Gold Award for over 100 members in our White Label program (shout out to everyone crushing it with us!)

• Silver Affiliate Award—so grateful for our affiliate family. If you’re not one yet, let’s talk!

• Plus, I had the honor of collecting the Diamond Award for Julie Chennel and Cathy Olson’s FG Funnels, and the Platinum Award for Perry Belcher’s Springboard CRM. Huge congrats to all the friends and partners who won big this year—there’s room for everyone to win, and I love seeing our circle succeed!

How to Actually Sell GHL Services in 2025 (ft. Matt DeSeno—No Ads, No Fancy Résumé Required)

Alright, let’s get this out of the way: If you think you need a PhD in marketing or a fat ad budget to sell HighLevel services in 2025, let me introduce you to the real MVPs—Matt DeSeno and, well, yours truly. Between Matt’s “buffet theory” and my personal love for QR codes and chocolate feet (it’s a thing, trust me), we’re about to make selling feel less like cold-calling hell and more like offering pizza at a diet convention.

Why This Matters (And Why Matt’s Right)

Here’s the deal: Only about 25–30% of businesses are actually using AI or automations in their daily grind. The opportunity? Massive. Most agencies either go too big too fast, pitching the full SaaS buffet, or too generic, forgetting the power of a well-placed offer. Matt’s take? Don’t sell the buffet—sell the thing everyone wants seconds of. (Spoiler: it’s reviews.)

Key Moves from the Matt & Nuno Playbook

• Pick the Service, But Know the Who

  • Matt’s golden rule: It’s not just what you sell, but who you sell it to. Go hyper-local or super-niche, and suddenly you’re not just another salesperson—you’re the local egg guy at the farmers’ market. (And yes, people pay more for local eggs, even if they’re just eggs.)

  • Example: Google reviews for brick-and-mortar? Gold. TrustPilot for digital businesses? Smart. Right offer, right person.

• Micro-Offers Win Big

  • Don’t lead with the monster package. Start with a review automation, chatbot, or AI voice service—get your foot in the door (sometimes literally, with a chocolate foot or a plexiglass QR code).

  • Once you’re in, Matt says, then you open up the buffet: websites, social, advanced AI… But don’t overwhelm your new client with options they don’t understand (or want—yet).

• Consulting: Your Secret Weapon

  • Matt drops the consultant play: Local businesses will pay (and listen!) if you show up, ask smart questions, and diagnose their actual problems. The act of giving clarity is valuable—don’t give it away blindly.

  • Use Instagram DMs, local drop-ins, or even the “donut strategy.” And remember, showing up in person is your unfair advantage—big competitors won’t do it.

• Pricing with Conviction

  • Matt and I both agree: $97/month is your baseline. That’s the psychological anchor (thanks, HighLevel!). If you believe it’s worth more—charge more. If you don’t, borrow our belief until you do.

  • Upsell with results: “We’ll triple your reviews or your money back.” Want higher ticket? Package a Google Business Profile setup ($500–$1000) or AI chatbot test drive. The more value you believe you bring, the more clients will pay.

💡Pro Tip from the Duo

When in doubt, lead with generosity, follow up with clarity. Give them a small win (like a boost in reviews or a chatbot on their site), then educate them on what’s next. And whatever you do, never keep your other services a secret—your competition sure won’t.

Real Talk & Takeaways

Selling GHL services in 2025 is less about what’s new and shiny, and more about what’s simple, effective, and sticky. If you can walk into a business, connect their Google Business Profile, slap a QR code on the counter, and double their reviews—congrats, you’re already ahead of 70% of the market.

Matt’s stories of consulting and my grassroots walk-in hustle prove one thing: success comes from doing, not just planning. The best salespeople are the ones who aren’t afraid of rejection—and maybe even ask for a discount at Starbucks just to practice their thick skin (cheers, Matt).

So go local, go small, go in person. Whether it’s free pie, pizza, or just a few new clients who can’t believe how easy you’ve made it, the result is the same: sticky relationships, recurring revenue, and a business that actually grows.

Ready to be the farmer’s market egg (or, you know, the chocolate foot) in your town? Print those QR codes, knock on doors, and let’s get those HighLevel wins—Matt and Nuno style.

Build an AI Quiz App That Books Clients on Autopilot

(Lovable AI + HighLevel = Lead Nurturing Nirvana)

Picture this: It’s 2025, and you’re still offering boring PDF lead magnets while your competitors are booking calls on autopilot with interactive, AI-powered quiz apps. Guess who’s winning? (Hint: not the guy still collecting dusty spreadsheets.)

Let’s talk shop about what actually works right now—because thanks to the magical tag-team of Lovable AI (for building apps at warp speed) and HighLevel (your all-in-one CRM command center), you can spin up a quiz app that captures, qualifies, and books leads—no engineering degree required.

Why You Need to Care (And Why I’m Obsessed)

The old playbook of “download my eBook” is…well, let’s call it gently retired. Today, what gets attention are interactive, personalized experiences—stuff people actually want to use. This isn’t just another hack. It’s how you stand out, get better leads, and automate the whole dance.

Here’s How I (and you) Build an AI Quiz That Sells, Step-by-Step:

• Start with an AI Assistant:

  • I use Claude to brainstorm quiz questions (but ChatGPT or whatever’s clever will do).

  • Example prompt: “Create an interactive quiz to rate a business’s automation readiness, score it, and segment into 3 levels for follow-up.”

• Lovable AI Makes it Click:

  • Take your AI-generated quiz content, paste it into Lovable, and let it whip up a fully-functional web app—database, login, and all.

  • Pro move: Keep your prompts short and tight; too much detail, and Lovable might get confused (don’t we all?).

• HighLevel Does the Heavy Lifting:

  • Want leads to flow straight into your CRM? Set up a webhook in HighLevel—every quiz result gets piped in, complete with name, email, score, and all the good stuff.

  • Bonus: Build a calendar for instant bookings (no “I’ll get back to you” nonsense).

• Automate the Follow-up:

  • In HighLevel, map all those juicy quiz fields to contact records.

  • Tag each new lead, personalize the email follow-up based on their quiz score, and—this is big—branch your nurture automations so you’re sending exactly the right next step.

• Host, Brand, and Publish:

  • Lovable lets you publish the app on your own domain (or subdomain), so it’s not just some generic widget—it’s your brand, your experience, your new favorite sales machine.

💡Pro Tip

Don’t gate the quiz results. Let prospects finish the quiz, then ask for their info—name, email, maybe even the name of their first pet (kidding, but you get the idea). This keeps friction low and conversions high. And always embed your calendar on the last page so booking a call is one tap away.

What’s the Real Magic Here?

You’re not just “generating leads”—you’re qualifying them, capturing key insights, and kicking off automations that actually move the needle. And yes, all of this can be done in a few hours, not weeks.

If you want to step up your offer game, here’s the recipe:

• Use AI to make app building fast and fun.

• Get interactive—nobody’s wowed by a static form in 2025.

• Automate nurture and booking so you spend less time chasing and more time closing.

So go on, try this out. Your leads will love the experience, your clients will thank you for the efficiency, and you’ll finally have an answer when someone says, “What’s new in AI marketing?” (Spoiler: It’s you.)

⚡️ AI News Flash: October 2025

(What Actually Matters for Agencies & Small Biz)

The world of AI is moving faster than ever, and keeping up can feel impossible—especially when you’re running an agency or local business. Below, you’ll find a quick digest of the latest breakthroughs and trends, with a focus on what actually matters for marketers, service providers, and entrepreneurs. Here’s what’s new (and what’s coming soon) in the world of AI, automation, and tech—without the hype.

🚀 GPT-6 Rumors: Another Leap?

• Rumor mill: GPT-6 could drop by end of 2025.

• Reality check: GPT-5 just launched, so don’t expect a revolution overnight. But if you’re building on GPT (chatbots, automation, etc.), keep an eye out—each leap can change what’s possible with “AI-powered” offers.

💡 Nvidia DGX Spark: AI Power for the Rest of Us

• Nvidia’s new DGX Spark is the smallest (and most energy-efficient) AI supercomputer yet.

• Why it matters: More compute in smaller packages = cheaper, faster AI for everyone (think: better voice bots, image gen, faster analytics, etc.).

🧠 Claude Skills: Custom Skills for Your Brand

• Anthropic just launched Claude Skills (think: plug-and-play “knowledge packs” for Claude AI).

• Real world: Now you can upload brand guidelines, SOPs, playbooks—Claude loads them only when needed.

• Impact: Marketers can finally have an AI that knows your brand inside out (and keeps your context clean).

🔐 AI Login Buttons (Platform Risk Alert!)

• OpenAI is pitching a “Sign in with ChatGPT” button (like Google/Apple sign-in, but for AI-powered apps).

• Why care?

  • Your customers could use their own GPT Pro accounts (better models, lower cost for you).

  • Platform risk: If OpenAI changes policy or disables the button, your app/business could be in trouble.

  • Pro tip: Always have a backup login option!

🦾 Waymo “DDOS”: When 50 People Order Robotaxis to a Dead End

• 50 people ordered Waymo robotaxis to a dead-end street in SF. They all got stuck.

• The lesson? AI & automation still break in silly, real-world ways. Always have human backup and monitor your AI integrations for “edge cases.”

🎬 Video Gen Updates (VO 3.1, Sora)

• VO 3.1: Longer video, better controls, multi-image input, object removal.

• Sora: Now does storyboards and up to 25-second video clips for pro users.

• Agency POV: Video generation is becoming more polished, customizable, and usable for real client projects.

🧬 AI Doing Real Science (Google C2S model)

• Google’s latest model helped discover a new cancer hypothesis—and it was validated in living cells.

• TL;DR: The “AI as scientist” trend is real. Expect more breakthroughs, more often, and expect your clients to start asking about “AI insights.”

🛡️ Military AR: Call of Duty, But for Real

• US military’s new Eagle Eye helmet uses AR to give a “video game” view of real battles (think: 3D maps, mini-maps, real-time video feeds).

• Even if you’re not in defense, this is a glimpse of where “enterprise AR” is heading (field service, logistics, construction).

🛰️ Space Data Centers? Bezos Thinks So

• Jeff Bezos: We’ll build massive, solar-powered AI datacenters in orbit within 20 years.

• For now, just a fun headline. But “infinite compute” will keep pushing AI’s boundaries.

🧩 AGI: How Close Are We, Really?

• New paper says:

  • GPT-4: 27% of the way to “AGI” (human-level intelligence).

  • GPT-5: 58% of the way.

• Reality check: The goalpost keeps moving, but every release gets us closer to “AI that can do almost anything.” Stay adaptive!

Key Takeaways for Agencies & Marketers

• Stay nimble. New AI features (like Claude Skills) let you productize your agency’s “secret sauce.”

• Keep humans in the loop. Even the military and robotaxis need human backup.

• Don’t get caught flat-footed by platform risk. Always have Plan B if you build on top of OpenAI or any “AI as a service” tool.

• If you aren’t testing new AI tools each month, you’re falling behind. The tools above are getting easier to use—clients will expect you to know what’s possible.

Alright, I’m hijacking this section because there’s one video I need everyone reading this to actually watch, not just add to your “someday” list. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels like AI is just a glorified assistant for answering questions or making memes—but deep down you know it should be way more powerful for your business—this is the video that will flip the switch for you.

Here’s the truth: 99% of people (even in tech!) are still using AI like it’s 2022. This video breaks down the actual difference between playing with AI and leveraging it as a real multiplier for your team, your processes, and even your daily ideas. It covers how the new breed of “AI agents” can chain together, handle tasks while you’re busy doing other things (like, say, actually living your life), and how you should be thinking about the future of work and automation. There are hands-on examples, crazy real-life use cases, and honestly—this is the mindset upgrade that will keep you ahead of the curve.

Don’t sleep on this. Take 25 minutes, watch it, and thank me later.
