Transcript

Hello? Hi, is this Chris? Yeah, I'm speaking. Hi, Chris, this is Michaela. I know you're not expecting my call, so I'll make it super quick. Um, but I was just on your landscaping business page and I noticed that you guys don't have a real website yet, so I wanted to reach out for someone else. Did. Do you have 30 seconds? Yeah, go ahead. Make it quick. Perfect. So I build websites for small businesses, and I actually already built a demo for your business this morning. Do you want me to send it over? Wait, you already built something? Yeah, I figured it'd be easier to show you than to just tell you. I've got your brand colours, a services page, a contact form, an online booking flow, um, all built and ready to go live today. Okay. Uh, I'll be honest, that's not something I expected. You can go ahead and send it over, I guess. I'll send it right after this call. And honestly, Chris, most of your competitors in the area don't have anything close to this, so a site like this is literally the difference between someone calling you or scrolling right by. Uh, okay, if you wanna go ahead and send it over, um, you can call me later today and walk me through it. Yeah, are you free in, like, 30 minutes? Uh yeah, that works. So I haven't actually built the website yet, and he sounded a little bit skeptical on the phone, but we're gonna use CTO.new and build him a website really quick. So I just entered all of the information from his business page, and it's gonna build a website in about 5 minutes. So follow along to see if he likes it.
