Don't take trades advice from software people.
CHRIS CAMILLO JUST LAID OUT HOW TO MAKE $500,000 A YEAR AS AN "AI GUY" FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
His blueprint:
1. Walk into any HVAC, plumbing, or sprinkler business.
2. Ask where they're leaking money.
3. Build them an AI agent that answers after-hours calls, sends instant texts, and gets quotes out in real time.
4. Integrate it with their CRM for free.
5. Charge them $2K-$3K/month to be their "AI guy."
Repeat across 10-20 businesses.
