AI call centers used to be a complete mess. Robotic voices, awkward pauses, low show rates, and zero trust. So when Aaron told me he shut down his 70-agent human call center to go all in on building an AI call center, I was skeptical. I’ve seen too many “next big AI” tools that overpromise and underdeliver. But then I heard the calls and saw the data.

In this episode of What’s Working, we break down real booking rates, real database reactivation results, and real call recordings from AI voice agents that are calling new leads within seconds, reactivating dead databases, booking appointments, and actually increasing show rates because the conversations feel human. Not scripted. Not spammy. Not robotic. Just clean, sales-focused follow up.

If you run ads for clients using GoHighLevel, you already know the hardest part isn’t generating the lead anymore. It’s bridging the gap between lead and booked appointment. Most agencies lose clients not because the ads failed, but because the follow up failed. Front desks don’t call fast enough. Old leads collect dust. No one tracks live transfers. And then churn happens.

We also talk about branded caller ID, reducing spam likelihood, live transfers, pricing models, white-labeling AI voice for your agency, and how to turn this into both a retention tool and a profit center. This isn’t theory. This is what’s working right now.

If you want to fix the gap between lead and show rate, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Most people still think HighLevel is only for small local businesses. In this conversation, that myth gets completely dismantled. Fer Patel breaks down how enterprise-level brands and franchises are deploying Voice AI at scale using HighLevel’s native AI stack — rolling out hundreds of AI receptionists every single month without relying on third-party tools.

We get into what actually makes Voice AI work for big companies: simple use cases, templated agents, strong QA processes, and knowing when not to overbuild. Fer explains why enterprise clients don’t want flashy features — they want missed calls handled, after-hours coverage, faster response times, and systems that don’t break. That’s exactly where Voice AI shines when it’s deployed correctly.

This video also goes deep into the operational side: how agents are built, tested, monitored, and improved after launch, why setup work matters, and how poor pricing decisions can destroy margins fast. If you’re trying to sell AI receptionists, Voice AI, or automation to serious businesses — this is the playbook.

If you’re still pitching AI like a shiny toy, you’re already behind. This is how real companies are using it to recover missed calls, reduce staffing pressure, and scale across multiple locations without complexity.

Tim breaks down exactly how government contracts work, why they’re wildly under-saturated, and how agencies using GHL can land $10k–$25k/mo+ deals for work that’s shockingly simple. No cold calls. No fancy sales scripts. No 90-day onboarding grind.

He walks through real contracts he’s won, how RFPs and NAICS codes function, why immigrants and small agencies have a massive advantage, and how a single GHL setup can replace teams of full-time employees inside government departments. The best part? These contracts last for years, pay on time, and want you to keep as much of the budget as possible.

If you’ve ever thought “there has to be an easier way to scale SaaS,” this is it. This is a whole different game — less competition, bigger checks, and clients who don’t churn.

Watch the full breakdown and get a real peek behind the curtain of how GoHighLevel agencies are quietly using government work to scale faster than the private market ever allows.

Most people still think of “AI” as some novelty tool or fancy chatbot—but agencies like Jeff Lopez’s are out here charging $10,000 setup fees and $1,000/month retainers for AI systems that actually deliver results. In this episode of What’s Working, we dive into how he built a six-figure “AI employee” agency by replacing call centers, following up with leads automatically, and booking real appointments for clients who pay high-ticket prices every month.

We break down why businesses are willing to pay that much for automation, how Jeff positioned his offer so it sells itself, and the difference between selling “AI” and selling a true business outcome. From roofers and chiropractors to daycares and insurance brokers, he’s proving that simple systems still win—especially when they make clients money without adding complexity.

If you’ve been on the fence about offering AI or you’re trying to figure out what’s actually working in 2025, this conversation will change the way you think about building, pricing, and selling. Real clients, real numbers, real results.

Most people think you have to post videos to go viral — but right now, Facebook’s text-based posts are secretly outperforming every other type of content. In this episode of What’s Working, I sat down with Adrian Braila in Austin to break down exactly how he pulled in over half a billion views on Facebook… without recording a single video.

We talk about how he’s turning those posts into real leads, affiliate sales, and SaaS signups — and how creators, agency owners, or anyone building a personal brand can tap into the same wave. Adrian also shares the wild reality of making $35K in a month from Facebook’s monetization program, and why most people are sleeping on the easiest opportunity of 2025.

But this episode isn’t just about algorithms or money. Adrian opens up about losing his daughter in 2024, stepping away from work for nearly a year, and rebuilding purpose through creativity, storytelling, and discipline. It’s a powerful reminder that freedom isn’t just about income — it’s about time, family, and the ability to live fully through every season of life.

If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or just someone looking to build a business that works without you, this conversation will change the way you think about content, leverage, and life itself.

I have hired VAs from the Philippines for years… but never met one in person — until now.
Meet Victor: a former teacher turned full-time video editor who escaped the burnout grind of traditional Filipino work culture. We dive deep into what it really takes to succeed online, why “work-life balance” doesn’t exist in the Philippines, and how Western employers often get it wrong when hiring.

If you’ve ever considered hiring from overseas — or working remotely yourself — this is a brutally honest look into both sides of the story.

Danny Harris has quietly been closing deal after deal using AI bots that answer calls, book appointments, and never miss a lead. In the last three weeks alone, he’s signed a florist, hotel, estate agent, and kids’ play park—each paying him £399/month plus setup fees.

In this interview, Danny breaks down exactly how he turns everyday conversations into high-ticket AI clients without being “salesy.” From showing a florist how much money they lose on missed calls, to demoing an AI agent that takes full restaurant orders, he reveals the psychology, scripts, and systems that make business owners say yes on the spot.

If you’ve ever wondered how to land clients for GoHighLevel’s AI tools—or what it looks like to scale an agency with voice AI—this is a must-watch.
