Section 01

Understand the Deal Before You Start

This is not complicated, but you need to know exactly how it works before you take your first call.

1
Boston builds your AI system. You run the business.
Boston sets up the phone number, trains the AI on your specific business and prices, and builds all the automations. You don't touch any of that. Your job is to show up for every booked job and do great work.
2
You keep 80%. Boston takes 20%.
Of everything you collect from customers, you keep 80 cents on every dollar. Boston takes 20. That's it. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no surprises. Boston only gets paid when you get paid.
3
You report every Sunday. You pay every Monday.
Every Sunday by 8pm, text Boston your total gross revenue for the week — meaning the total you collected from customers before any expenses. He takes 20% of that. You Venmo @BosRoss by Monday noon. Zero revenue that week? Text him to confirm zero. Nothing owed.
4
The business name and customers are yours. Forever.
Whatever business name you create, whatever Google reviews you earn, whatever customer relationships you build — that's yours. Boston has no claim on it. When the program ends September 1, you keep everything. The AI system deactivates, but the business keeps going.
Section 02

What the AI Handles vs. What You Do

The AI handles the business operations side. You handle the physical work and the customer relationships. This is how it splits.

AI handles automatically
  • Answers every inbound call — quotes the job, books the appointment
  • Sends booking confirmation and reminder texts
  • Sends payment link the moment you finish a job
  • Sends Google review request 2 hours after payment
  • Follows up if someone inquired but didn't book
  • Answers common questions ("Do you service my area?" "How much for a driveway?")
  • Logs every call and booking
You handle manually
  • Show up for every booked job — on time, every time
  • Do the actual work (this is the physical service)
  • Confirm or adjust price if the job is bigger than expected
  • Build relationships with repeat customers
  • Post on social media and local groups to generate calls
  • Text Boston Sunday 8pm with your weekly gross
  • Report any system issues immediately

What the AI cannot do: The AI cannot show up for a job. It cannot adjust a quote based on something it sees in person. It cannot build a real relationship with a repeat customer. That part is you. The AI makes sure no call goes unanswered and no money gets left on the table — you make sure the work gets done right.

Section 03

Week 1 — Getting Your First Job

Your first week is about generating your first call. The system is ready. You need to make noise.

1
Confirm your AI is live
Boston will send you your business phone number and confirm the AI is trained. Call your own number from a different phone. Make sure the AI answers and can quote a job correctly. If anything sounds wrong, text Boston immediately.
2
Post on Facebook Marketplace the same day
Go to Facebook Marketplace → choose "Service" → post your business. Include: what you do, your service area, your phone number, and 1-2 photos (even stock photos are fine to start). This is your #1 source of calls in week 1. Post it more than once — different descriptions, same number.
3
Post on Nextdoor and local Facebook groups
Search for neighborhood Facebook groups in your city. Post an intro: "Hey everyone, I'm starting a [business type] in [city]. First-time customers get a small discount. Here's my number: [your AI number]." Nextdoor is especially good for home services because it targets your exact neighborhood.
4
Post on Craigslist
Go to Craigslist → Services → your category. Simple post: what you do, your area, your price range, your number. Takes 5 minutes. People still use Craigslist heavily for local services. Repost every few days to stay at the top.
5
Tell everyone you know
Text your contacts. Post on your personal Instagram or Snapchat. Tell your parents to tell their friends. Your first 2-3 clients will almost always come from word of mouth. Don't be embarrassed about it — running a business at your age is impressive. Use it.

Realistic first week: Most partners get their first call within 3-5 days of posting. If you're not getting calls after a week, text Boston. The problem is almost always marketing, not the AI system. More posts = more calls.

Section 04

Running a Job Start to Finish

The AI handles the booking. Here's exactly what you do when it's your turn.

1
You'll get a text or notification that a job was booked
The AI will notify you when it books an appointment. You'll see the customer's name, address, what they want, and what it was quoted at. Review it and mark it confirmed. If the job sounds different from what the AI booked, call the customer to clarify.
2
Show up on time
The AI sent a reminder to the customer. They're expecting you at a specific time. If you're going to be late, text the customer. Being late without notice is the fastest way to get a bad review. Five minutes early is perfect.
3
Look at the job before you start
Before you do anything, look at the full scope. If it's bigger than what was quoted, tell the customer: "This is going to be a bit more than quoted because [reason]. Is that okay?" Most people will agree if you're upfront before starting. Never do more work than agreed without confirming the new price first.
4
Do the work. Do it well.
Good work = good reviews = more calls = more money. The AI can only help you if there are people calling. People call when they see good reviews. Treat every job like it might be your best review. It often is.
5
Mark the job complete
When the job is done, mark it complete in whatever system Boston set up for you. This triggers the AI to send the payment link automatically. Do this immediately when you finish — not an hour later. Customers pay faster when the link arrives right away.
6
Wait for payment, then leave
Most customers pay within a few minutes of getting the link. Wait until it goes through before you leave if you can. If they don't pay within 24 hours, the AI will follow up. You don't need to chase payment — the system handles that. If a customer still hasn't paid after 48 hours, text Boston.
Section 05

Getting Paid and Reporting Revenue

Simple system. Works the same every week.

Customers pay viaPayment link (Square/Stripe) or cash
Your cut80% of everything collected
Boston's cut20% of your gross weekly revenue
When to reportEvery Sunday by 8:00 PM CT
What to text"Week of [date] — $[total]"
When to payMonday noon — Venmo @BosRoss
Zero revenue weekText Boston to confirm zero. Nothing owed.
Example — real week

You complete 5 jobs: $275, $300, $200, $325, $150. Total: $1,250 gross.
Sunday night you text Boston: "Week of May 24 — $1,250"
Monday noon you Venmo @BosRoss: $250 (20%)
You keep: $1,000
After your costs (fuel, supplies, etc.) your actual take-home is probably $700-850 for about 15-20 hours of work.

Gross revenue means total collected from customers — before any of your expenses. If you collected $1,250 but spent $200 on gas and supplies, you report $1,250 and pay 20% of that ($250). Your expenses come out of your 80%, not before the split.

Section 06

Marketing — Where Your Calls Come From

The AI can answer every call, but it can't make the phone ring. That's your job. Here's where to post.

Facebook Marketplace
Best source for most businesses. Free. Post under "Services." Repost every 3-4 days.
Nextdoor
Highly local. Great for home services. Neighbors trust neighbors — introduce yourself as a local business.
Craigslist
Still effective for services. Simple listing with your number. Repost to stay visible.
Facebook Groups
Find "City Name community" or neighborhood groups. Introduce yourself. Be genuine, not spammy.
Instagram / TikTok
Before/after photos drive real bookings. One good video can blow up. Your age is a selling point — own it.
Word of Mouth
Never underestimate this. Tell your parents, friends, neighbors. Your first 3 clients probably come this way.

What to say when posting: Keep it simple. Your business name, what you do, your area, your phone number, and one reason to pick you over anyone else (fast response, low price, locally owned). Don't overthink the copy — a clear, honest post beats a polished one every time.

Example post (Facebook Marketplace / Nextdoor)
[Your Business Name] — [City, State] Hey neighbors! I run a local [business type] and I'm taking new customers right now. I serve [city] and the surrounding area. Fast response, fair prices, and I actually show up when I say I will. Call or text: [Your AI Number] [If applicable: Junk removal / lawn care / pressure washing / etc.]
Section 07

The Non-Negotiables

These are the things that end the program early if they happen. Know them.

🚫
Don't flake on booked jobs. The AI worked to book that appointment. The customer is expecting you. Three flakes in a week and the system gets shut down. If something comes up, call the customer and reschedule immediately — don't just no-show.
📊
Report every Sunday, even if it's zero. Missing two weeks of reporting without communication = immediate shutdown. One text takes 10 seconds. There's no excuse to miss it.
💰
Report accurately. Boston gets a booking log from the AI system. If your reported revenue is consistently way lower than what the AI booked, that's a problem. Report honestly and everything's fine. The 20% deal only works if both sides play straight.
🔒
Don't try to copy or share the AI system. The phone number, the AI configuration, the automation workflows — those are Boston's. You can share the business name and customer contacts, not the system that runs it.
Section 08

When Something Goes Wrong

Stuff breaks sometimes. Here's what to do.

AI stops answering / sounds wrong / quotes wrong price

Text Boston immediately at 903-714-6162. Include your business name and city. He responds same day and fixes it. Don't let it sit for a day — every missed call is a missed job.

Payment link isn't working

Ask the customer to pay by another method (Venmo, cash) and text Boston. He'll track down the issue. Don't lose the job over a payment link — figure it out in the moment and fix the system after.

Customer is unhappy with the work

Offer to fix it or give a partial refund. A unhappy customer who gets made right often leaves a better review than someone who had a perfect experience. How you handle a problem says more about your business than the problem itself.

Boston's number: 903-714-6162. Text, don't call. He monitors that number constantly during business hours and responds same day for system issues. You are not on your own.
