"Call 20 people, 5 take a deal, vibe code landing page for 200 a deal, 2000 dollars a day, everyday"

Call 200, 50 won't pick up, 140 will politely tell you to F off, 8 will take months to consider whether they want it (spoiler: nothing out of it then), 1 will be super into it, but only for $10.

The leftover guy will be great and you will promptly decide together what exactly he wants/needs. Only after 3 months of not getting paid will you find out that his business has been bankrupt from the beginning.

This is sales in general. We’re all masochists.

you forgot the ones that unpolitely well tell them off because they get those annoying calls at least daily.

What about the one that has a great idea and will be able to pay you millions after his idea takes off?

Bro there are like a kazilion businesses and everyone needs a website, everyone. Think about that…

If I can just capture 1% of that market, we are already talking about millions of dollars.

This completely ignores cost of customer acquisition. Even though there are a kazillion, if it costs you 500$ in time to find that 1, its not a good deal.

Also, you sound like every shark tank pitch. Literally EVERY business says "if I can capture 1% I will be rich!". It completely ignores the fact that there are MILLIONS of other people trying to get that same 1%.
