Speaker: Welcome to the Solarpreneur Podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level. My name is Taylor Armstrong. I went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why cell drips fail.
Speaker: I teach you to avoid the mistakes I made and bring in bringing the top solar dogs of the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads Bowling up like a pro. and closing more deals. What is a solarpreneur you might ask? A solarpreneur is a new breed of solar pro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery And you are about to become one.
Speaker: All right. Well, what's going on? Welcome back to another podcast. We've got a returning guest today. and a Great episode we did. I look back, it was actually three years ago that we last had. Garrett Mendelsohn on. So ah Garrett, thanks for coming back for another podcast with us.
Speaker: Yeah, man. Thanks for having me. It's pretty it's pretty insane to think that ah it's been three years. like It blows my mind. it It almost feels like I got to Puerto Rico and then I went to sleep and I woke up. That's that's what I say every single day now. so yeah i Thanks for having me back on.
Speaker: it's funny i was i told you i was just listening back to some and sections of the last podcast we did. And three years, we're already talking about AI and all that. And I'm i'm thinking how much I use AI, like chat GPT and everything now. and Like, wow, I don't even know if I realized like AI existed back then, but we're already talking about it.
Speaker: yeah it's crazy Yeah, it's crazy, right? Yeah, because... ah I think it was. right at the beginning of it like little bit like because GBT launched. Like.
Speaker: Q4 I think or end of Q3 of 2022 and I was like one of the first people on the platform and then And then it just. Went from there and I think we had our podcast like the...
Speaker: sometime the following year but it was like i think it was like the first wave of the early ai adoption just people like making the weird pictures and how infancy stage it was but it felt really cool at the time you were like wow this is This is incredible. And I mean, I guess we're all burnt out with how advanced it's gotten and now where it's just like another day, right? Like, like yeah you know, because the stuff you can make now with AI and the tools and GPT.
Speaker: And just the. The marketing, yeah, you know it's AI, but it's so nice looking. That. You know, when we did this podcast last. It was so hard to even get words to spell properly. Like when you would do a prompt and make a picture.
Speaker: the half the words would have misspellings and it was just like you had to try so hard to get something so like basic so it's Yeah, it's it's incredible. It's crazy. It's mind blowing. Yeah, I had no idea. You know, back then it felt like just kind of like a novelty. There's a few people using it, but.
Speaker: you know It wasn't really implemented that much yet. And you know, you look. You look. for today today and There's not like a single day where you're not using it. for most people. And so i know it's crazy how much it's evolved. and everyone's using it now it's it's insane because i think about that too because if they pulled the plug and they say we no more ai i think all of us would probably have like panic attacks and you know, freak out for a few, for a bit. Cause then you got to think.
Speaker: like how to do things again. yeah You know, cause right now it's just, ah I don't know, at least it's like a copy paste mind mindset. You could just like copy paste stuff and put just random things and it just does it all. And it's just, I even noticed like when you like.
Speaker: type a lot. And I'm a fast typer. And I noticed that like I spell more words wrong a lot more because. It doesn't matter because it can fix it. and i it's like those little things i think it's going to shift us uh away from like actually being caught like able to comprehend anything like nobody's gonna be able to read or something That's the scary thing. It's it's crazy to think about it because...
Speaker: You know, I got like my Tesla now. um I'm pretty much having the Tesla self -drive. Like 90 % of the time. It's a weird thought, right? Yeah. And then like, you know, chat, GBT, AI and everything.
Speaker: And there's a lot of times where I'm like, oh, I don't need to think through this. I'll just put the prompt in there. chat GPT and it'll tell me what to do. Crazy to think about its like 10 years from now, we we're all going to be, no one's going to be driving themselves. We're not going to be thinking for ourselves. AI is going to do all the thinking for everything, all the creativity.
Speaker: You know, i I think to myself, like we're in that like golden era. Where. AI is so cheap right now because all the companies like beg for business because they are trying to make profit, even though they're all not making profit, but the goal is long -term profit. So they're trying to acquire as many clients and customers, but they're all losing money. and because they're losing money i i feel like we're in this like sweet spot because Unless they bring the costs down for energy and all the other stuff that they're trying to do, which I'm sure they will.
Speaker: I don't see how you could spend like 20 bucks a month or 100 bucks a month or 200 bucks a month for these subscriptions and then you can produce so much output. for that cost i think it's right now because you know everybody sees it but they don't really there's not really a lot of people actually using it besides like mundane tasks like asking it questions or figuring basic stuff but like truly actually utilizing it there's not really a lot of people doing that And I think. ah
Speaker: We're in this really cheap window that you can do a lot of things before it's going to become really expensive or it's going to become limited because when the, you know, the government was, you know, talking about like the the mythos, you know, with the clod and stuff. You know, if they consider that like to.
Speaker: too dangerous, then you have to ask yourself. Have we hit the ceiling public's going to have access to? And very soon we'll be rug pulled away because. If it keeps going the trend the trend it's going to go, it's going to get way better than mythos. So if it was really a threat, then...
Speaker: I don't know, they're going to have to limit it in ah in a way or just not give people access to it. So I think the whole thing is going to evolve in the future and change quite a bit as economics play out. and Once there's a...
Speaker: A real... like AI emergency where somebody used an AI product or coding to build a... bad mash cat casualty event or something really dangerous happens then there's going to be like a rug pull because i i think a lot of people out there don't really comprehend like what it can actually do so i so i think we're in this like almost like the early days stages of the internet where you could kind of go to any website
Speaker: and see anything and do whatever. But then slowly that got you know they got hold of everything. And I think that's what... is coming very soon and i think it's gonna be faster than people think because even Claude is talking about watermarking every single thing you do.
Speaker: So they're trying to... I think they're trying to, if I if if if i were them and they're trying to maximize profits. I would probably ban all open source like Chinese models a hundred percent. And then I would probably require a watermark on like they're doing.
Speaker: on every single thing that's output and then make it illegal to use anything not. So if you have a website or a company that's legitimate that you use these products and you get audited and you don't have the watermark, then you're going to get like fined heavily and shut down possibly. So I think when they.
Speaker: grasp everything and they they take control of it like any other product i think the cost per output will be way expensive. So people won't be spending. the whole day building stuff.
Speaker: unless they have tons of money. But I could be wrong. I'm just like guessing, you know. yeah so no it's so Yeah, super interesting to think about. But yeah, who knows where it'll go. yeah i've heard i don't know if you've heard this up but i've heard like the government had ai way before we did.
Speaker: And things like that. And we're getting like stuff that they've already had before. Do you think that's true that the government had it before? and been existing for a long time. I don't think so entirely. Maybe only because like.
Speaker: they they're so clueless about it and i feel like if they did have it they would be like They would have like, like, like if these. these boomer politicians all truly understood what this could do. They probably would have.
Speaker: Regulated everything. like two years ago three years ago like they they probably but a lot of them are just like trying to make money and they they don't really comprehend it. So I feel like if they... had a secret AI thing that they had that nobody else had.
Speaker: they would have a comprehension of how possibly dangerous it it really is because Cause like I think about all the time, like. Will they let... the average person just like Vibe code. a replacement of a company and just say, hey, make me this Facebook clone or. Take a picture of.
Speaker: this website or this company and say, Build me this, but make it better. Like, I just. I feel like I... Don't think that's going to be. there for long and forever because Copyright law. and economy and They're going to say safety and privacy and all this weird stuff. and I just think and then also it's too disruptive because right now like everybody feels all of it's kind of just like a toy.
Speaker: Like you just do it like as like you make like a Minecraft clone or you just make some fun little clones and stuff. But like. they're going to find out that it's not a toy with the right people and the right persons. And, and you know, you you essentially could have... a weapon that you could build anything you want as long as you have the capabilities in your mind and you can figure it out. and
Speaker: I think when they they understand that. they're going to rug pull it and and limit it and make it. where if you wanted to build that minecraft clone it's going to cost you like 10 grand so that means you're not going to build it now you're probably... nobody you know what i mean you can do it but you are not going to do it because you don't have 10 grand you know and then in the future also like decades in the future right When the jobs are gone.
Speaker: And the service industry gets hit. Because robots are now like. abundant and they can do everything. Because like service industry will come. But in the future, in decades in the future.
Speaker: There's going to have to be some like. UBI of some sort, because if people can't make money. But whatever money they have, they're not going to be able to make more money. So they're kind of never going to be able to actually use the tools.
Speaker: because they're going to be too expensive because If you get... Like if you're like a 20 year old ah kid, you know, in the future. and you want to hustle and make money. but AI replaced everything.
Speaker: and does everything and everything's been invented and robots do everything. It's like, it's going to be, ah you can probably make muscle money if you hustle, but you're never going to be able to make that breakout. Like, you know, where you could make a million bucks or 10 million bucks or a billion bucks. It's going to be really difficult besides.
Speaker: It'll probably be like insanely hard to get rich in the future. Besides like, like right now it's probably the e easiest time, but it's probably going to become the hardest time in the future. uh to get rich so I think i think we're we're going to be leaving. I think this AI window. Hopefully not, but I think this is the last window to... to make a lot of money.
Speaker: And if you don't make a lot of money and you don't have yourself set up for the future, if if it does play out the way it is, you're going to just get poor and be broke and hate everything. And you're going to be like a slave, essentially. You're going to be broke because you're not going to have money and you can't make more money. So what do you do? And and as things get more expensive, if they do.
Speaker: You're just going to have to downgrade consistently until you could get stable. And by then it's way below your living standards as today. And then you're just like ah kind of dependent at that point. The urgency is real.
Speaker: Yeah, well, but yeah, I never thought of it that way. but um Yeah, that definitely puts things into perspective. I mean, how could you make money? Like if you were 20, if you have your kids were trying to make money or you wanted to hustle in 30 years and everything's been invented, every software is out, every. Thing is, using robots, like...
Speaker: You're not really going to be making money. Who's going to who's your customer at that point? Everything's done. Influencers are replaced. AI, like influencers are even... I see these. AI musicians and they're they're actually really good. I listen to them.
Speaker: They said it's good music and they there's their fake. So. like And then I think a lot of people are sick of the real influencers as well because they just. show off their money and their their stuff. and because the the wage uh Gap is so...
Speaker: getting bigger and bigger and bigger between people. And there's less opportunity to make more money. So the frustrations build up and because frustrations build up, they don't want to see people succeed. So they see that. the AI influencers. So then.
Speaker: It just becomes like a, you know, everything is just. ai like in the future like everything Yeah. and And it's just. that's that's it and you're just like stuck you use whatever the the government or gives you or whatever you can get is what you get because like Like, again, how would you make money?
Speaker: What business will you start? AI can start the same thing. it's If it's done, all the software. and everything. Right. Yeah. That's interesting man. Yeah, I mean ah crazy to think about. And didn't didn't necessarily mean to.
Speaker: To ah start it with with the whole game. No. You're good. you yeah You know, speaking of all that, your platform is a GameForce .ai, right? That's the... ah Name your new new platform.
Speaker: Yeah, so in the last three years, so... You know, initially when we we got on the call, right? um it was you know we were building a software you know for solarbootcamp .ai so so at the time that was the that was the company and you know with the changes in the tax credit and the industry shifting i just you know thought you know,
Speaker: I wanted to bring this to the market. Because I felt like this is a really good product because, the you know, over three years ago. I noticed a problem in the market where everybody was using go high level. Everybody was kind of like, you know you know what I mean? Everybody was using them. It's just...
Speaker: and and And honestly, it sucks. You know, it's not good. It's just using slow, boring looking as I as I noticed that I also noticed that when it comes to like call centers, like go high level doesn't really have anything like you have a dialer and then you have weave dialer, which is. three lines but i think it costs like per user and It's expensive. And they got like.
Speaker: uh twilio has like short duration charges and and and all this stuff so i I was trying to find a solution. So we started building. This software. It was it it was initially like.
Speaker: a dialer and a crm but i wanted it to be like an olin one where i can run my solar boot camp you know dot ai business in in one spot. Without having to... pay for 50 different. platform. So we started developing this And it. Now, since then...
Speaker: It's so It's so insane. Like, I'll give you an example. so Outside of like the dialer and the door -to -door side. And I'm just going to talk about the gamification side. like i was Mentioned before this we have a full -on Like. metaverse system built into it where users because you know When you build teams, you know building culture, building community, it's important getting people bought into what you're doing. So.
Speaker: game force it's gamified where you log in there's a tutorial system you customize your avatar there's a full character system a character builder like you know from a game it's like a 2D pixelated thing, but you can run.
Speaker: and there's a there's a a digital office space where you have your avatar your name your sales title your team name and your webcam above it. So you can walk around in this. We call it Sail City.
Speaker: virtual office space and you can have your meetings in there and you can see your other team members like oh they're they're level 12 today whoa they got cape or a pet or a hat You know, so something like that. Right. And they can show it off. And here's the thing.
Speaker: When they're making calls, because we built our own proprietary software, so we have our own multi -line dialer so it can call. like ah I mean, there's no cap. We have it set 50 lines per user. But as users are dialing.
Speaker: or knocking doors. They... They can run into. Like on the door -to -door side, for example, there's there's a few things. there's the There's the golden doors. So behind these these pins, there's these golden doors. and If user... knocks one of those they get a a bonus and they get ah and a possible an item for their character Or there's a gift box on the map that they can find.
Speaker: That gives them an item that's like one out of a hundred, one out of a million, a rare unique item for their character that they can show off. to their friends. Is that like all the no soliciting doors are golden doors? Yeah, it's all of them. It's the ones you. Yeah, the ones you should not go to. Yeah, that's the challenge. You unlock a cape if you if you if you succeed. no Yeah, no, exactly. Because because the idea...
Speaker: no literally because the idea is like you you have the like i see with ah our clients like So the users are making these cool looking characters and they're changing their hair. their their avatar, there's different races. You can be like a goblin or an alien. And, you know, it's like a, it's like a game. But it's cool because... You know, you can have a really cool item that you got because you were knocking doors or you were out there hustling.
Speaker: And somebody wants to like, hey, where'd you get that? And you can trade it and, you know, trade it to them if you really wanted to. but you have the ability to unlock items. not Not just that, it's the same thing for the dialer. You make calls.
Speaker: you have a you have a you roll a dice essentially automatically After your disposition and you get. a possible loot box. So you can get a... A gift box, an item that you...
Speaker: That you. Playing that has a random reward for your character. Wow. So it's, it's like, it's a unique, so it could be like one out of a hundred, like I said, one out of a thousand. So it just makes it fun, makes it entertaining. And also Don't forget, like when you're in the sales city, if you have multiple teams for your business.
Speaker: It shows their team name, their name, their sales title and stuff. And then you can, you know, you, you know, who's part of which team it's like fun and there's competitions. And there's even, for example, i I don't know if we spoke about this last time, but it's called the dual arena.
Speaker: And. You can challenge somebody on the platform or you can opt in and challenge somebody from another platform. There's a global feature. And you can challenge them to a one verse one live streaming sales battle. You choose like if it's appointments.
Speaker: How many rounds? How many minutes? And you can challenge the other person and stream it live with an AI referee. With a chat box and everything. Wow. yeah that's crazy well a lot of features and i remember you mentioning some of these with the last platform. I think it was SBU. Um,
Speaker: And so... have Yeah. Did you fully launch that with the other three years ago? and There are some of the similar similarities. Was that fully launched? Is this kind of just building off of that or is this?
Speaker: quite quite different from your original. So it's the same. it's the same but Yeah, it's the same platform. We've just... Upgraded it and made it just. you know our whole roadmap is out essentially like we built everything that we that it's like an all -in -one so you know like for here's another example You can click any house.
Speaker: and you get older information. their name, their phone number, their email, every person that lived there, permit information. Uh, for 0 .004 cents. So 10 ,000 leads. is $40.
Speaker: So. Yeah, so... what what What clients are doing. We have an AI canvasser. they're building lead lists or they're uploading an address list and then they get to enrich it. And then just throw it in the dialer and make calls or.
Speaker: Because it's an all in one platform. There's a door to door app built in. And. You can have every single door the door -to -door guys knock. you can have it automatically skip trace.
Speaker: and go into the dialer. so that the people that are calling can call the doors in real time as they knock the doors. Wow. Yeah, so... Crazy. you Yeah, so like imagine you knock a door or drop a pen. All of a sudden.
Speaker: Um. the the dialer agents We'll be calling that house that same house. So it just doubles your odds. So that that's that's what that's just like, you know, one. feature there it's there's a lot of stuff on here for example You know, when it comes to team building.
Speaker: it's It's a struggle for some companies because it's like, how do you get people hired? track them, manage them, see who goes on the team. but you can actually We have a recruiting command center. You can actually...
Speaker: Send recruiting links. Approve, disapprove, whoever into these links. And then. you can have their entire onboarding funnel built out. Like what's the first step of them being hired? What's the second step? So it's all automated. And if you fire or they quit.
Speaker: So you get everything. And then on top of that, for anybody that's in solar or who's an EPC. As much as we all have been frustrated with site survey guys or installers not showing up and... Sights of you guys.
Speaker: you know, definitely not showing up and just I don't know what's worse. a sites I would say installer not showing up is worse. That's that's the worst one. You have a sale. It's ready for install and the installer doesn't show up. But the second worst.
Speaker: is a site survey guy doesn't show up because if he doesn't show up. just want to grab you know throw them against the wall because... you hit the big you lose the deal like nine times out of ten unless you got you know magical powers and the customer is like oh it's okay you know whatever but I've gone through that too many times. I got too much solar PTSD at this at this point. so We have a full fulfillment center built in too. so They can do, you can do live dispatch. you can
Speaker: You can get real -time. tracking notifications of... the site survey guy. So if they're running late, You get notified in real time. You can see them on the map. They could send real updates to the homeowner.
Speaker: ah it's It's a full fulfillment center, like replacing ServiceTite and replacing like Zoho and you know whatever. So wow the platform we built is literally built for sales teams to grow huge. like it's built for the service industry to go grow huge we don't just do solar we do All industries now.
Speaker: And it's it's built from a salesperson perspective, not a CRM. And, you know, engineer perspective. So you're you're. You're thinking, what to like as a salesperson, how can I scale, grow, and manage?
Speaker: in a simple way without being confusing that's that's scalable and that's what this this platform does, it it simplifies it. and one login, one spot with everything you need. In a simple way where you literally like have people knocking doors, making calls, all in coexisting in one platform.
Speaker: Seeing the call recordings, nobody said, hey, what happened to this call? You know, you have everything trackable. There's AI coaching. there's Chats, there's... like we we have something called pitch lab so for here's an example you have reps making calls Most managers, unless you're like a top tier guy. that that will do this, but it's pretty rare from what I've seen, will review every single call of somebody.
Speaker: They won't do it. They'll review some calls. But we have something called Pitch Lab. It scans all the calls. And it will tell them what objections your team is running into. And then it will show you. the objection you click it And you see.
Speaker: the the per the closer the setters or this would be the let's say the setter this is from calling perspective there's a door -to -door version too i'll get into And you can see the objection, the setter ran into what objection, what they said, what the homeowner said, what the response is. ah a recording clip so you could just go play it right then and there and then you can see which which ones got past it, it will show green if they got past it, orange if they... It was neutral and red if they failed. So then you can train your team on.
Speaker: These are the objections you're running into. this week. Because if you don't know what you're running into, you can go months without ever finding out like half your team and can't get past. I'm gonna move sooner. I don't. Like. what it looks like, you know, those types of things.
Speaker: Which speaking of... a side note about i don't know what it looks i don't like what it looks like we have a We have a full proposal tool. so Solar. So you can, in an AI visualizer, so you can.
Speaker: Use Google Street View or take a picture. And. It will show you, just imagine. You choose the product you're selling. It could be solar roofs, Christmas lights. It could be anything. Let's say you just do solar.
Speaker: Mm hmm. Has the house? and then a slider in the middle. and then you slide it back and forth. And I'll show you what the house looks like with solar. realistic. You can't tell it's AI. Like 100 % realistic. and you can attach it to the proposal. So it's called the visualizer.
Speaker: So if somebody says, I don't like what it looks like, be like. It's cool. Let me show you what it looks like. Or if you wanted to. And then you can actually show them. And they can just slide it. Back and forth, before and after.
Speaker: and see what it looks like. And it literally looks a hundred percent realistic. Like zero. It's it's crazy. Yeah, that's cool. That's crazy, man. So many features. and Um...
Speaker: Yeah, sounds like we're just scratching the surface. But it reminds me, I don't know if you ever heard of this app. It was called Habitica. and it was kind of like a similar thing where yeah You had it was for habit tracking oh You put the habit you wanted to do, or you put like, you know, go to the gym.
Speaker: and yeah similar concept you get like it was this virtual world and you would get like a new cape it's kind of like yeah like gamify it that that's what a lot of people the the gamification but here's the problem in our industry no offense to the other guys
Speaker: Nobody's gamifying it in a real way. They're gamifying it in like a stupid point system with leaderboards. That's old school. This is like an RPG, like a role play. game this is actually like gamify in a way where you get your rep spot in, there's achievements, badges, titles, like this is.
Speaker: This is like a... like world of warcraft for sales runescape for sales right that's that's essentially what it is So it it it makes it fun, engaging. entertaining not stupid like competition well there's competition i'm not saying they're stupid But we have competitions, obviously. We have all that stuff. but That's not enough nowadays, I feel. to get people really hooked and engaged. Maybe for that like top 1 % of the closers, like, ah. I got to be the top.
Speaker: But for like the the rest of them, like. Like you you, you, you're, they're, they're gone. So like. all the other apps on the market are just like old school. Like they're just. like the the old way of doing it.
Speaker: So. And that's why, like... With this, it's like you can log in and now you have this like operating system for your business where it's like, okay. My calling and my knocking, recruiting, fulfillment, like like you can run your whole business on it. So you don't have to. find Like.
Speaker: this software, this software. and Find somebody connected. and Maybe it doesn't connect, so manually move. the uh list over like you don't have to do those things It's like one place with reporting and everything. So it just makes it.
Speaker: just so much easier to scale. And. ah Yeah, it's it's crazy. um Yeah. so does it integrate with because our company for example we're using aurora seems like most installers are using aurora these days for you know like you're a good leap and different financers so does it integrate with that or Have you guys figured out a way to like.
Speaker: replace some of these proposal softwares too. or What do you do with that? Yeah, so we have a proposal tool that you can actually build. Um, like open solar aurora They have API keys so we can integrate them if you really want to use them. so Uh...
Speaker: Financing, we're in the process of getting that integrated. So this is going to be a system where you can go one -stop shop. I mean, you can send contracts. through it right now. as well. So you don't have to use DocuSign.
Speaker: So. You can do most of the process already on it. uh long term speaking it's going to be able to run like the financing it's going to be able to you're going to be able to order equipments uh very soon like uh from different equipment providers so you're gonna be able to place orders for that um Has a roofing proposal, HVAC, gutters, windows.
Speaker: All the services, like a proposal tool. And it has a really nice proposal builder so you can send it. And if you're a roofer, for example, listening to this, it also has... Live radar in the map so you can check Hail.
Speaker: Damage wind. tornadoes you can see the map in real time then you can use the ai canvasser tell you tell it to skip trace a storm And then now you have an AI build you a lead list for.
Speaker: 10 ,000 leads is 40 bucks. Dirt cheap. And then you make calls on those and turn them into appointments. Yeah. Right? so so there' And we're adding soon the ability for you to track.
Speaker: Blackouts in real time, nationwide. Get notified when a blackout happens. Use the AI canvasser. Skip trace that area. Now you got leads in a blackout during a blackout and just go call it in real time. Like, hey, your power's out. Let's do batteries and solar, right? You could do that with the really soon on GameForce.
Speaker: You could pull permits. Old permits. For example, Somebody that has an old roof. you need to replace it or old HVAC or old solar or... You can even pull up companies that have gone out of business for solar and help them with detach and reset, or even just solar that got installed. without batteries.
Speaker: So you can literally pull all that up. Skip trace it automatically And then have it in your dialer just like a minute later. And then just make calls. And, you know, it calls like. you can do dozens of people at once so if you had a list of a hundred thousand you could theoretically do that in a day with it If you had two or three agents.
Speaker: Definitely do that in in a day. Yeah, wow. Yeah, so for companies that don't really do uh like calls Do you have people? is Could you like hire? a I don't know, telemarketer or something to make calls with in there? Or is that something you just give people the tool and then...
Speaker: they can figure out who they want to hire for it. Have you done it? Yeah. I mean, So. we have partnerships we're forming and we have uh but it's like limited supply but we can plug in like uh bilingual agents.
Speaker: uh for six dollars an hour and then it it's like 300 solar install commission or 150 for a roof. ah You know, they're cheap, obviously. but you know it's limited and uh It's not always available, but we we do that. But otherwise, you know, people can hire online. There's there's a lot of websites out there.
Speaker: Go on Facebook. Because it's so easy to plug and play setters. We have a special setter mode. For it, for call centers. That it's like. Strips away every feature. and just puts the dialer and puts the stuff that they have to see.
Speaker: And that, and it, you know, it does commissions on here too. I didn't even mention that so they can track their payroll and stuff. So it's like they. they they just They just have the dialer. It's a super simple call center mode. and Also...
Speaker: It's on the mobile too. So if you're somebody on the go. you know This is in the app store for iPhone. android ah By the time you see this, it's. You know, it's already on the Android store. It's about to be in the. at a beta store. um but essentially it's an all -in -one app so you know this are Our door -to -door map is a door -to -door map that replaces RepCard NZ. SalesRabbit, Spodio, you don't need it. It has way more features than them.
Speaker: way more compet competitive features. it's if you see it and you have your avatar on the map too so it's like fun your character you build will be out there so if you're knocking doors with a lot of people you can see you know, you know you can, you can see them. So it's.
Speaker: It's very unique. It's very... Modern. It's very like fun and. the The potential on this is like. like the The clients we have... like They love it. like they they love they love they love game force it's not just they like it they love it like you don't leave Cause it's like.
Speaker: If the audience is wondering, like we don't we don't charge a single thing to get started. It's a week free. So it's one week free and it's the cheapest prices on the market for now, at least. And.
Speaker: You know, if you're somebody that wants to get a dialer, you got to do a or a contract or pay like $150 to $300 a month per user. Literally, it's as low as $20 a month per user. at you know at growth the growth option so it's like significantly cheaper, and you get everything at once.
Speaker: without having to spend. dialer crm door -to -door app and then you you know the door -to -door app that's a whole different thing there Their platforms are just... dated. they're They don't connect really well.
Speaker: you can't take the data and just call them instantly yeah And it's just. They're older school. They were good the pre -AI era. But now we're in a new era, new technology, new software. and Like this, that's the old way of doing things like.
Speaker: Nobody wants to have. these different door -to -door apps and then have to have these different dialers and these different CRMs and different fulfillment and recruiting. and and And plus, if you're a small business owner listening to this, you don't have the money either to pay for.
Speaker: thousands of dollars a month for... all these different software options. You just, you just don't. so With this, it just simplifies your life, puts it in one place, and then... Yeah, you can do everything. like I can go on about this. like There's AI role play. You can role play with an AI. Give your your sales team training.
Speaker: there's a university you could build your trainings there's like automations funnels like it could replace you can have leads poured it in here with like Facebook ads and different ads, like all the ads.
Speaker: Um, Yeah. Well, it's crazy, man. Cause you know, I've had, I know a lot of people. Doing. bits and pieces of everything you're talking about. But I will say you're the first person I've talked about that's slick.
Speaker: b listed off all these things all under one hood. I'm like, man, because I know. you know i know all these people that do this part they do this part but Like... You just. everything you're talking. um you know replaces like four or five six different apps and services that you typically would need to use for all that.
Speaker: Yeah. um that is Exactly. Exactly. And I'll say one last thing about it coming really soon. It's called the GameForce Exchange. By the time you listen to this, it's already out. But we're taking select clients that have been with us for a while.
Speaker: Like. some roofers, some... solar company some HVAC from all the different industries. And we have something called the GameForce Exchange. So if you run into a lead. from an industry you don't sell because you're just losing money.
Speaker: Instead of just trying to post on Facebook or text, hey, does anybody know somebody for somewhere? We will have every single industry for residential and commercial. We'll have every single option. long -term, or you could just book that appointment to that company and you get paid automatically by game force. fully trackable because they have to use their fulfillment.
Speaker: You have a pipeline, and you can track it. It's all in game four. So instead of dealing with people getting scammed and sending deals to other people. you're You're trusting your appointments with people that run their entire business on our software. So they're not going to scam you.
Speaker: We're not going to put them up to scam. if you know, we bet. And if somebody did, we will pay for it. And we'll, we, we have a. a guarantee on that so you're never not going to get paid. And you always know what you're going to get paid ahead of time. All the terms all the details it's like ah it's like uh a marketplace essentially but it's you can ah you can just like click a quick book and then you can just choose industry and i'll pair you up to the Closest person in that you know uh partner that we have for that specific industry so if you want to make money
Speaker: on the side or in another industry. You could also just skip trace leads on the platform. And then. book them to other companies from other industries as well so there's so much utility on here You could you can totally level up your... ah your team, and your company. Yeah.
Speaker: That's insane man. And so you guys develop, this is all custom stuff that you develop, right? It's not just. built on like high level or something no this is like literally like I didn't even mention this. We got our own AI voice agents. It's 11 cents a minute. Which I believe is like really under the the market. And because we're we're a telecom company with the FCC, you can buy phone numbers. You could buy minutes from us.
Speaker: on the platform. Uh, and the AI voice agents. everything is connected on the platform so they have a knowledge base so As you use the platform, you add more knowledge to the knowledge base. It gets smarter. Each lead has a memory. So it knows when it talks to leads, it can set appointments. They can collect referrals.
Speaker: It could actually live transfer to like, let's say. it calls somebody they want to talk to a human and they try the platform nobody's available well you can actually offer it to uh... to uh to transfer to a cell phone to their cell phone so it can actually transfer Uh, a lead.
Speaker: to your your cell phone. And it can also, you know, not just that, it can collect lead forms and... It can has... has a ability so it's like a fully integrated ai voice agent agents that can text call, do everything.
Speaker: on the platform all in one. And it's integrated with the fulfillment. It's integrated with recruiting it's integrated with every process in a way that you don't find anywhere else and It all has memory. It all knows who it talks to. And you can even clone a voice and use whatever voice you want.
Speaker: wow Yeah. Insane. yeah So you get a little assistant. You could literally be somebody that's on the doors that needs an AI to... confirm appointments for them or reschedule appointments because you know There's a lot of guys. knocking doors that are too busy to follow up with their appointments. They could build automations where. It triggers.
Speaker: And then an AI voice agent gives that person a call, tries to do whatever they want them to do. And then they can listen to the recording and see the transcript. And there's, there's just so much you can do with it. It's, it's, it's unbelievable. Yeah, that's insane man. Yeah, so well so I'm just thinking there's a lot of... like reps that listen to the podcast that are at bigger companies that, you know, they already have their company CRM or door knocking app.
Speaker: And it's like for them. and Maybe that's... of they're thinking okay is it worth if i my company already has this set up they're using this Is it worth me trying to just go on this platform as a single user?
Speaker: um So yeah, what do you what do you have to say about that? Do you have a lot of reps from like, say they're at a bigger company? Yeah. They come on, just use it as like a single user. Is that worth it? or Yeah. I mean, like for example, I think Sunrun, they have their own internal system. and yeah i highly doubt sunrun's gonna switch to as much as it would be cool for sunrun to switch yeah they're corporates you know it'll never happen so i think they built their own so like
Speaker: If you're like Sunrun, for example, like you can use this and then you can... generate It's like... Think of it like ah a lead generation tool. Like, you know, there's dialers, there's leads, there's. like skip tracing. So you could use it to just generate leads and it's only going to make you money. You just push your deals with Sunrise.
Speaker: And you can build your team on there because. Uh, Because yeah, because you you have all these tools. Also, if you're an EPC. We have... ah EPCs that run dealer programs. And you can have it structured where.
Speaker: Either they get their own software and it connects. And you can. They can. you long story short they can connect it and push your deals through or you can include it and just give them access through your platform.
Speaker: And then all of a sudden your dealer network gets dialers, they get door -to -door app, they get skip tracing, they get all these tools. that they don't really have access to. It's only going to make you more money. So...
Speaker: there's There's a lot of things you can do, but even if you're somebody that doesn't even have a team. that wants to start, you start with GameForce Duo. It's two users, $197 a month, one week free. And I'm going to give you a link that you can give to your audience that will give them 10 ,003 leads.
Speaker: and 1 ,000 free calling minutes and $10 of credit. So. We're going to. pay you to use it and you're not going to have to spend a single dollar. And you can take these leads and do whatever you want with them. And you can call them. etc so I'll give you a special link after this. And then...
Speaker: And then... ah yeah you could literally just be a one -person show and then start with you and then just Maybe find a friend to do it with and you build a business. and Then you go from two users. The second option is. is GameForce Squad, which is four users for $297.
Speaker: Like if you think about it, $2 .97 a month for... four users, four dialer seats, four door -to -door, all these options. like it's You can't find that other, you'd be spending triple, like minimum at anywhere else. And then you go to 10 users for 497 a month. And then at 10 users.
Speaker: you can That's like a mini team. And then you move to 30. $9 .97 which if you need 30 users... and you're afraid and to spend nine 97, you got to reevaluate, evaluate your team. You should be making a lot of money if you need 30 users, like seriously. So. that That's... Really cheap, 30 dialer seats, 30 door -to -door seats, 30 like...
Speaker: all of that fully white labeled branded to their company even and then on And then you have the the level above that's 1997. a month for 100 users. so That's. Dirt cheap.
Speaker: Yeah. And then like, like literally if you need a hundred users. and you're spending ah that for door -to -door and dialer you're spending tens of thousands of dollars like just true you know, for for for less. yeah Yeah. you know So pricing is cheap. It might not be like this forever, but it is it is like this now.
Speaker: So... Uh... <unk> I'll give you a link after this so you can share it with your audience. But I know for a fact that anybody listening, if if this if you've been looking for something that... even dreaming of this is like the dream machine for sales teams like that's the best way to explain it it's like Everything you've ever dreamed of is here.
Speaker: to the micro detail straight up. Yeah. Our dreams finally came true. Yeah. mean it as Yeah. It's ah and speaking to like the gamer. It's taking me back to like high school, middle school gaming days.
Speaker: Like, wow, I never thought I could like turn. sell us into a game like this yeah no exactly exactly like level up and get the animations and gift boxes and you know the fun stuff ah Yeah. like Like a treasure hunt, real life treasure hunt on the doors or something.
Speaker: Yeah, no, it's a good way to look at it. Like there's a leaderboard for golden doors, whoever collects the most golden doors, like, you know, for your team. So you have a competition. So you're out there hunting for those doors. Like, where are they?
Speaker: Yeah. that's awesome So, yeah, it's it's just like makes it fun. And then, yeah, there's tournaments and yeah, there's a ton. Yeah. Crazy, man. So in the big announcement, I just saw you dropped. I think it was last week. that you guys got uh bradley and as a as a partner is that right yeah yeah is's it Yeah, he's a co -owner of GameForce, actually. he'll he'll put He'll be posting an announcement soon. But yeah, I posted on my Facebook. he I met him end of last year in Long Story Short. ah
Speaker: Sent him the... you know, The platform in ECU is like, wow, this is insane. you know And here we are. So if you're thinking... Like Brad, like this is literally. No exaggeration.
Speaker: the most insane platform you probably have ever seen in your life. Just from the moment you log in. to the experience like i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not bullshitting it's it's ah it's it's crazy so This will change your team and the ah the the future of it a hundred percent. But yeah, Brad's going to be part of it. I know for a fact that. Long term, we're going to be doing events.
Speaker: All the events. We're going to be doing. ah competitions. like Just a sneak peek. Once we're big enough, we... We, uh... are launching game force games so if you're listening to this it could be active now you if you know in the future ah But I know for a fact by end of the year, it's going to be out.
Speaker: It's on the platform now, but we just haven't put the live tournament date, but you can opt in your four best reps. in a one -verse -one tournament versus another. user right So... It's ah like a five -week tournament. So you have your your live streaming.
Speaker: with meta glasses on the doors so you put the meta glasses on or stream it with another phone. and It's like most appointments in like, say like 30 minutes, right? There's two leagues. There's the virtual and then there's the door -to -door league. So once they win the round, they go to the next round. There's five rounds. And then the winner will get like... money from us long term we're going to be giving away tens of thousands of dollars for these tournaments i want to give away hundreds of thousands if not once we're big enough you know imagine
Speaker: competing in an Olympics or a tournament, one team or one user can win a million dollars on GameForce. That's what we're going to do here. So we're going to have. all of that. And if you're somebody also that likes to live stream.
Speaker: We need streamers. There's live streaming for sales built into here. So if you go to live .gameforce .ai, it's like Kik. You can stream yourself global. There's an AI referee, so you can go on the doors, you can go on the phones. and Stream yourself for the audience. so so people can watch so if you want to be a streamer this is a good chance to get your piece of the pie before it gets you know Busy. Yeah, I remember you talking about that before, ah three years ago, the whole streaming thing.
Speaker: um did that were you already doing that before on your last version of it while streaming and or did that yeah We we were doing it, but like, uh... Internally, but it wasn't like set up where you can like go into the dual arena.
Speaker: And then you can. put the metrics And if you want to wager some GameForce tokens or... choose a commentator. And then you can't like challenge somebody on the platform or challenge somebody from another company. And then there's a live streaming dual arena. So you can have.
Speaker: User 1. User 2 Yeah. so Like, uh... like a like a like a live streaming duo essentially like uh like you know like you know twitch and then the audience chooses which camera they listen to either scoreboard at the top, chat box.
Speaker: and then or a commentator you know controls it so that's that's that's uh Yeah, GameForce Live. Yeah. Crazy. So how did you, I'm curious, how'd you get Bradley's attention with this? Cause you know, I'm sure he gets pitched things all the time, obviously a big name and all that.
Speaker: So what did you do? Did you have to do anything crazy to get his attention with this? or Um, I sent him a one minute demo of the app. And it was so sick. that It just happened just like that. Okay. Like literally, i because I met him at the end of last year. Like it was like, it I'm not not exaggerating. It's so.
Speaker: It's so good. that. you know he saw the the value and the potential like instantly he's like wow this is uh this is crazy because like if you were trying to replicate this it's it's very difficult and if if if somebody wants to even try it takes A lot of time. in a lot of years.
Speaker: to make something actually like bug -free stable and actually work and not look good but actually function the way it's supposed to function. Yeah. So. that's That's one thing, you know, we've... we've treaded slow because we wanted all the feedback from all our clients before we you know,
Speaker: pull the plug and or However, you you know. you blow with it blow this up, right? so Essentially, we're at that point now where it's it's so It's at that. Very, very Like, like the hockey stick growth. We're at that point where we're. but we're about to to to to skyrocket because it's it's you log in and and it's like an experience and it and it it the fact that it all It all works. It all connects, it all communicates, it all talks.
Speaker: And it's all in one spot is like. it's like life -changing for a lot of companies because yeah I'm telling you, if you're somebody that's in business. You know how many logins you have. And you know how expensive it gets. And you know how confusing it gets.
Speaker: especially for new hires and all that stuff. Right. Yeah. So is it just as valuable? Cause if I'm just like, say a single rep logging in there, cause I'm thinking for myself too, I'm at like a. I meant...
Speaker: currently a legacy bigger company they got their systems yeah more of a sunrun So if I'm coming on to this. Um... Is it, can I like trade with other people too? Cause I know you're talking about like teams and I'm sure it'd be really valuable to have whole teams on there. You can see where they're knocking and stuff like that. Yeah, um probably most teams I'm thinking of, they're not going to want to like.
Speaker: they're going to want to keep all of their stuff private too yeah yeah it's like the balance of that between like you know associating with other companies if you just came on as like a single user and How do you work that?
Speaker: No, I love that. so All the global features are disabled, like disabled from the start, like none of it's enabled. so Each company can choose if they want to enable. each global feature. We use AI moderation for all of it.
Speaker: So. If somebody tries cross recruiting. Not only will you be banned, we're going to IP ban you from the platform platform. You're never going to be able to use it again. like like And if you're running your business, you're going to be pissed because we're going to shut that off instantly. so A business owner that comes on from that perspective that knows. at that agrees there's a contract they sign with the global and they turn it on And some of the global features, your company has to get to a certain level.
Speaker: before Like it's going to, you're going to be on the platform for a few months at least. And if you're going to try to risk. your whole company and your operations to recruit some random person. you're going to get banned pretty much instantly. And also, it's probably they're not going to probably even hear it because the ai mode the moderator, we have an AI referee, will mute. what you're saying.
Speaker: Because it... it it just the the way it works so you're going to get banned for nothing Sure. Yeah. So long story short. My goal with this. From the start is to get everyone bought in the mindset. This is pure.
Speaker: like how you go to door -to -door con there's a no no no no recruiting policy right if everyone comes into that with integrity And honesty. then we can make this work. and and and And we can actually have it because we're going to have global leaderboards. So you could see no more thinking you're the best. You can go see in the, you know.
Speaker: where you stand globally. and We want this to be like an ethical. you know, you know ethical... like ah ah like system. But here's also the thing for a lot of these global features, you could put team names, not your company name.
Speaker: you You can hide who you you guys are. It's more of like. If you duel somebody from another company. ah You can see their stat card and see what that person's like stats are. But, you know, there's like I said, you can disable whatever you want.
Speaker: We make it fully customizable. so Nobody feels like they're jeopardizing. Bye. you know, jeopardizing anything. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. So do you, ah is your focus more on solar rather than roofing? Are you guys just trying to like equally expand in every industry or what's, what's kind of like your vision for it? with other industries and everything.
Speaker: Yeah, so half our clients now are not solar. More than half are not solar at this point. um Solar is becoming a minority fast. um because you know the the great solar exit But also a lot of other people from other industries like roofers, you know, they love the the roofing. the the roofing capabilities. But I mean, we also ah get solar. So like, you know, if you're a solar team or roofing or pest control. home security.
Speaker: If you're anybody that needs door -to -door. that or it needs team building, it needs... even a call center built in. without wanting to spend a million bucks to do that, this is this is for you. It's like a, you know, it's...
Speaker: The cheapest. option to get in with the most bang for your buck with the the highest utility like like i can't think of a single app you can just Go into the door -to -door map. use an AI canvasser, click the house and automatically put that into the dialer. I don't see that from...
Speaker: Like... Anybody like a recent client, they just put a list of addresses into the. upload CSV into the campaign. And they put. so Skip trees. And now they have a list.
Speaker: They've done this many times now, but now they've set like 80 appointments in the last, like, ah and they're not, they have part -time people. like like Like under two weeks. And then that's just a few people part -time. like Americans, like not call center agent style that are grinding for eight eight hours a day.
Speaker: So they just literally put a... Lead listing. of addresses, nothing else. And then my system can give them all the phone numbers and names. and even permit history of every single person that lives there. And then they can just call it instantly. Wow.
Speaker: Yeah. What about, have you ever experimented with with anything? I've always thought it'd be a cool idea to like, as we're knocking a neighborhood that they get a postcard or something or like something in the mail before. Because a lot of times we're like, hey, I don't know if you notice some of that. And...
Speaker: letters in the mail about rate increases or something and then You know, we haven't. We haven't been sending things usually, but it's like there's always stuff getting sent about rates and all that. yeah if you thought about that is there a way to like integrate that where you could send something out and then Yeah, we got...
Speaker: We got direct mail built in, so that's a good question. so you can do mass mailer campaigns. So you can actually upload a picture or do an envelope, a card, whatever you want to do. But yeah, you can. Circle a neighborhood.
Speaker: And then just take that neighborhood. put that into the mass mailer system and then send that neighborhood mail Now. Yeah. And another thing is you have a sale, you can click the lead and then ah you can also click a button that says like.
Speaker: scan the street you can choose how much so it's like hey This. like yeah Like, let's say you have an install, right? You click a button. You scan the street. Now you get everybody on that street.
Speaker: information so you can... either send them direct mail. Or blow them up with calls or or go knock their door. Yeah. but Like yeah we're installing your neighbor literally like next door, like straight up.
Speaker: Like, yeah. yeah but So there's so many things you could do. Another thing for door -to -door guys that run ads. We have digital business cards built in, so you don't need rep card. ah You don't need any of that stuff. It's exactly.
Speaker: I can't say the same because it's better. but there's there's more options and you can use ai voice agent so like somebody viewed your card you can have it send an email or a text or even have an AI voice agent give them a call.
Speaker: Afterwards, So there's, there's more options and you know, nothing wrong with the rep card, but there's just more options, especially it's all in one. ah You have more utility. on the platform. So yeah, you could there you could literally have...
Speaker: your digital business card you could send it to them or they could scan the qr code And then you get that tracker pixel data. And then you could put that into ads and all of a sudden they are start seeing your Facebook ads. Like it's all built in that way.
Speaker: Yeah. That's crazy because there's so many people where it's like they might not be respect receptive to door knocking, but you're hitting them from every angle. It's like they're getting a card. They're getting a.
Speaker: a call after. Um, Yeah, that's some powerful stuff for sure. Yeah, you know it's a... It's... It's the the stuff you can do and the reporting that you can, you can have. Cause that's another thing is like all these door to door apps. I don't know what. if the reporting's good it's been a while since i've looked like many years but Mm.
Speaker: From what I remember, the reporting was pretty basic. But here you have the most... Like you can see every single metric from door to door, every single from remote, everything from fulfillment, recruiting. And you have an all -in -one reporting dashboard where you can see everything you want to see.
Speaker: Yeah. So you can track your metrics. You can have KPI minimums. You can have all these things. Like if they don't hit it, you get notified. like if you guys are slacking you get notified there's a employee there's a ai rep monitor so you can track if like somebody's going to quit your team it scans and sees their their patterns like if it looks like they're going to leave your team or you know And there' then there's also fraud detection.
Speaker: Solar's full of scams. You you could have. Every single call. automatically scan in the fraud detection system you don't you just put keywords in it's very simple so that if there is fraud you get notified and you can review the call and if you're in doorto door -to -door We have a wingman mode. AI Wingman mode.
Speaker: where you were As they do pitches, it gets a, like, let's say they do a pitch. the The AI. rates them, tracks them. gives them like a score, learns from their past history and attaches it to the pin. So then you can go back and listen to the recording. And then there's also the wingman for the closing side. So if you're in a house.
Speaker: and you're doing an in -home sale. you can have it attached to the pin which is attached to the appointment that the call center agent set. Let's say, for example, And you can have your entire closing recording.
Speaker: automatically uploaded to the lead with a fraud audit as well. So you can have a whole transcript. of In the home. of the sale. So if you're a business owner, that's going to eliminate 99 % of the the scams because as As long as they're recording during the sale.
Speaker: and it's linked to the lead and the appointment, you're going to be notified. you know afterwards Wow. and then if someone else is knocking it in the future they could go back and see that recording and yeah yeah how come yeah by six months ago or something like that
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. And we have the whole same pitch lab so you can scan the objections your door -to -door team's running into and get told what you should work on as well. just like the remote side. so if uh everyone says i can't get past come back after the holidays like you know like now this is what you should you should train on in real time.
Speaker: Crazy, could you tell it? Would the AI work like, hey, analyze my last six months of leads, tell me which ones would be more likely to pull up on? her yeah Yeah, you can choose.
Speaker: You can choose the time frameme frame of the scan. So yeah, you can do exactly that. Wow. Man. Well, yeah, there's sounds like there's and endless features. isn and And yeah, yeah no, it's it's it's it's it's it's endless. I mean, like like there's a. Like. 500 achievements every user can can hit. There's hundreds of badges. There's titles they they can get. There's so much stuff on there. And and for anybody wondering...
Speaker: Will the reps lose their time and stuff? Well, two things. One. um Every single game of vacation is based on money producing activities. Not. doing weird stuff on here.
Speaker: So it's like making phone calls or setting appointments or knocking doors. And number two. For sale city, you can put restriction hours. So it's only open between. 2 to 5 p .m or you could just close it and hide it you know like you don't have to to let people in sales city, but you know, it's, everything is optional here. So we don't force anything.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. So it's it's sweet. And then you got the fun stuff like. all -time high leaderboard so your reps every day they log in they see what the old time high is. are for each category.
Speaker: Because you know that. that's That's huge. If you could see... If your rep vlogs in every day and they see, okay. Jimmy. He did 12 appointments. That's the all -time high. I got to beat Jimmy.
Speaker: And when he does 13, Jimmy. He's going to be like, I got to beat Tim. he And he sees it every day now. And he sees he's like, crap, this is not cool. so It's that like. You're raising the bar infinitely.
Speaker: you know You know what I mean? Because it's always there. It's like, crap, that's the new ceiling. The new ceiling. and And eventually it's going to get difficult, but you know, at that point, like you got people always trying to achieve it. So then. the mindset that you that they'll have and then you got the top performers for the day and then you know, all time high leaderboards.
Speaker: Yeah. Insane man. Well, yeah, I was thinking it'd be cool if we could have seen like kind of like a live demo on the screen and everything. But um oh well yeah, um yeah just let's just do that.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't know why they should let you share your screen. I would show everybody here. what it looks like. I mean, they can book a demo if you if you sign up for the trial with the link. We give you a walkthrough anyway. So if you want to save yourself an hour, like, like, you know, they they don't pay anything to get started. We're giving them stuff. So if you're still afraid.
Speaker: of that book a demo but if you're not afraid to sign up for a trial to get on an onboarding call for us to walk you through this. And we we also set you up and we do team trainings for your company. We help transfer things over. Like we don't just like throw you away. We will actually help you onboard successfully. everything we need to do to get you activated. Yeah.
Speaker: Let's go, man. well We're coming up right on an hour. and Want to be respectful of your time too, Garrett. But hopefully, I'm definitely going to check this out. i Can't wait to see it because, um yeah, now you've got us all excited about it. So it'd be even cooler logging in and seeing what you're doing. The first thing is an AI introduces himself and gives you a full walkthrough. So brace yourself. You can do it on your phone, but if you want the best experience, do it on your computer so you can get a complete walkthrough of the platform.
Speaker: Yeah. i'm I'm about ready to go to like an IMAX theater or something. and Yeah. Just go for the projector. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that, you know, that Odyssey movie that just came out. Everyone's like, oh, you got to see it on the IMAX, get the full experience. Yeah, yeah, the full experience. You got to put the VR headset on next, you know, that's coming soon. VR remote sales in the metaverse too, you know, going to the digital computer. I mean, we could do it if we wanted to.
Speaker: Maybe we will.
Speaker: next Next podcast in three more years. We're going to be fully in the metaverse. Full virtual reality sales. SolarCon is going to be reborn in GameForce as a digital entity. And all the conventions will be in here. Just just get ready. Exactly. just Can't wait. Can't wait. Yeah. No, I'm just messing. We'll see. looks like man Well, yeah. So and then hopefully people will go check out. the the demo more and it doesn't hurt go Go check it out. um Get the AI walkthrough. And then um last question or two, Garrett, what what would you say? people that are you well first of all how many users you guys have at this point You already have a lot of users on this.
Speaker: um We're approaching 100 companies. We're not huge yet. But. We're not small anymore. So we're in that like. That sweet spot. so my My goal is to have 10 ,000.
Speaker: within 24 months and then a million within five years. That's optimistic, but you know, this full platform will be in Spanish too. So if you're, you're also in, you know, speak spanish this we're going to take this globally Okay. so Can't we? yeah And so last question of all the companies, all the users you have.
Speaker: What are you seeing the people that are having the most success on the platform and maybe just speaking? in general to whether they're using platform now, what are, what are some things you're seeing that are like separating top users and. you know, top solar companies, top reps. What are you seeing? What are some of the differences, those versus lower producing?
Speaker: Reps and companies. Yeah, it' it's the implementation because, you know. Nobody wants to switch CRMs. it's you know It's a lot of work. It's intimidating. It makes it hard. I mean, we simplify it in many ah elements. So if you can export your data, upload as a CSV. There's there's very easy ways. You can actually transfer your pins.
Speaker: onto the map with a bulk upload so you can actually transfer your data as well but i would say you know the the The ones that I feel like the most successful is they either spend the time every week. And they they they they actually put the time to figure it out.
Speaker: Or they have somebody that they hired. or that's been working for them that does it. you know for them and we do as many trainings as you need because i'm not going to I'm not going to lie and say it's like. simple like you know you're you're you're moving you know your whole company over it's if you If it's simple, maybe you don't have a real you know big company, but for anybody that has teams and structure. There's a little bit of a thought process of like how to build this out.
Speaker: And we will help you with that. so the ones that are the most successful, they put the time to actually want to implement it.
Speaker: The ones that don't. They utilize like, you know, certain features of it. They don't use everything. I mean, we have an operating system set up so you can actually. When you first go in, choose what you don't want. Like if you're never going to use the dialer, you can just hide it forever. um But, you know, you can. really make it for what you're looking for. But yeah, that the the biggest thing is like just implementation, like willing to put the time to implement for your business. Cause usually I've, you know, Before GameForce even, I was told it takes about 30 days. Do you join a new company to get comfortable with their CRM, comfortable with anything? so
Speaker: You got to look as like, hey, this is not just like a. I'm going to be like. 100 % in one week, it's going to take you a good month to start feeling. you know comfortable it could take you two or three months to just start moving each department in. like You start with the sales, then you do this, then you do fulfillment.
Speaker: You don't have to do everything at once. So you you you kind of like, you know, build into it. Yeah. Love that. that that Yeah, that's so that's what I would say is just implementation. is And if you can implement it. Just think how much bigger your team is going to be. If you can just put that time now.
Speaker: that i know we all don't have but we do have when we want to make something work we do it but if you put that time you could You could seriously, like... 10x your team but because like i don't Like.
Speaker: i don't know about you guys but i'm sure if you're listening if you gave every single one of your sales reps multi -line dialers, door -to -door apps, AI voice agents. Up. ability to pull permits, ability to skip trace any house and get all their information. track storms you know all this soon blackouts like all this stuff like how many more sales would you actually get Probably a lot.
Speaker: How many more recruits? If you had a whole recruiting command center and your whole... hiring onboarding built out. How many more hires and activated reps would you need? And the stat is you need five sales within 60 days.
Speaker: ah that gives them a 80, 90 % likelihood that they're going to stick around long -term. Getting people activated is important. So if you can streamline your activation process, streamline your... your systems. and have it all built out you will double triple quadruple in size. Like that's, that's all everybody's missing is the the systems and the, and the software. that That's it. Cause. You can only get so far with like a door -to -door app. It's true. like You can only get so far.
Speaker: with sales rabbit or rep card or any of these and with go high level or whatever right like it only could take you so far but if you really like get it in on one spot can you build something on there like it it's it's day and night difference like Like literally day and night difference for everybody.
Speaker: Yeah. well i love Well, I love it, man. And I think you've solved a big issue because I know speaking for myself, like I have the whole high level, I have all the different tools. but every time what happens to me is once i get busy i got a lot of setter appointments going in it's like all of a sudden i don't have that extra hour a day to go in and like manage the high level account yeah and it's like I'm prioritizing the most important things. so it's like yeah
Speaker: Trying to manage all that kind of goes out the window. So if there was... Something like you've created where it's all in one place, makes it easy, simple. yeah Yeah, I think that's a huge problem. that would solve for me and probably a lot of. high level reps where we're busy in appointments and families and all that.
Speaker: Too much and like dispositioning and finding the lead and it's slow, but like with our app, it's all mobile. You just. Go to the door -to -door, click sales assist. or you just click shows your appointments for the day, you click it and you can disposition and move the stage. like It's like all instant, all fast, all simple, all easy.
Speaker: Yeah. Cause like I'm trying to pace like five different apps together. I got my company's door to door app. And then. Like, ah you know, if I want to like have ah the follow up system now, I got to copy and paste this. Yeah, i love it doesn't make sense, right? It's positioned all right.
Speaker: And then I got to like try to figure out a way to. set up like the api or whatever connection is yeah and it's too much work like you don't have the time to do it every single time. But if you can automate that whole process where it's all seamless.
Speaker: All connected. And you don't have that bottleneck. It's just like you not only save yourself more time. You probably save yourself more money because I'm sure your five tools are costing more than what this is going to cost you. or about the same.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. Well, Garrett, thank you so much, man. I think, um you know, i'm I'm excited to go check it out more and then. I'm sure I'll have more to say about it too, but ah you got me super excited about it and hopefully you guys will go check this out.
Speaker: And... um But yeah, can't wait to see where it goes next. We'll have to do it before ah three years. and but I'd be talking to the virtual world by then. and Oh yeah. I'm going to, you're going to find me locked away in a cage with a headset on. So yeah, well, I appreciate you having me. Don't forget everybody.

Okay, I love that. Appreciate that. So we'll put that in the show notes. Thank you so much for coming on Garrett. We also put the previous episode we did three years ago if anyone wants to go check out that and nice, you know, you'll hear some similarities. But yeah, it was cool to hear the similarities differences between Um,
Speaker: you know, what was going on three years ago and what you've got going on now. Yeah, no, it's exciting. so For sure. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you so much, Garrett. And um yeah, we will look forward to this.
Speaker: happening on the future. Can't wait to see you. Can't wait to check out the app. And I will see you in the virtual world there soon. Let's go. Some of you already know that I run my own door -to -door sales team here in San Diego. And as we are gearing up for the summer, I realized if we do the same thing we always did, we're going to get the same results. But if I want to increase my deal flow, I need to do something different to get an advantage.
Speaker: Then we discovered an app called Solar Scout. but it's not a door knocking app. It's a data platform that shows us who is likely to go solar in our market. It shows us who has previously applied for solar, but later canceled the deal. who has moved in recently, and even how much electricity the homes are using in a given neighborhood.
Speaker: It's been working for a lot of teams across the country, and now I'm on board too. I'm going to be one of the first to use Solar Scout in San Diego, so I decided to partner up. But I told them, hey, if I'm going to talk about Solar Scout on my show, you need to give my listeners a great deal, and they did.
Speaker: So go to solar scout .app. forward slash tailor. and book a demo with them, and you'll get 10 % off your first month when you sign up. That's solarscout .app forward slash taylor.
Speaker: Okay.
