    Join these weekly Entrepreneur Strategy Calls for FREE every saturday morning in the How To Become An Entrepreneur Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/how-to-become-an-entrepreneur-6872/about 

    In this strategy call, Scott reveals how he used AI coding tools (Claude + open-source Kimi K3) to build a full multi-tenant SaaS product called GitaBid from scratch in just a couple of weeks for roughly $350 in AI credits—work that would normally take a developer team six months and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. He walks through prompting the AIs to handle architecture decisions, code auditing, multi-tenant scaling considerations, email infrastructure, and integrations with services like Neon, Fly.dev, Postmark, and Twilio, while sharing real-time lessons from mentor  @trevor_rea   on moving beyond “vibe coding” into production-ready systems. The result is a live, beta-tested construction bid-management app already generating revenue and organic sign-ups, proving just how powerful AI has become for solo entrepreneurs solving real business problems.

    This might be the best cold call script ever. This guy is closing sales before the people even know what he's selling. Getting people into a booked sales call to make your pitch can be an insurmountable task on a cold call, but this guy breaks their frame, turns their entire paradigm upside down and gets people interested. Pretty sure its real but no matter what, there are some deep lessons on human psychology at play here and some very valuable lessons. 

    Make sure you give him a follow.
