You have forgotten about the people who already paid you. In this Fargo Walks episode Jeff Fargo calls them the easiest money in your business, and gives the fix: put your past client records into AI and have it build the outreach.
Who should you sell to first?
The clients who already paid you. The clip's description puts it plainly: “That is the easiest money in your business, and you are chasing strangers instead.” In Jeff's words, “Why chase new money? When the older money that already paid you is comfortable paying you again.”
What goes into the AI?
Every client from the past two to three years, with the invoices and the services you delivered. The instruction in the clip is to drop it all into AI.
What should the AI build?
The outreach program. The clip names three parts: who is due for the same service again, who is ready for the next thing that branches off what you did for them, and the exact message to each one.
How does a reply turn into a booked call?
A scheduling link in every message. The pro tip in the clip is to “put a scheduling link in every message so the yes turns into a booked call.” Jeff names the one he uses: Calendly.

What this does not mean
It does not mean one message to everyone. The program the clip describes sorts past clients by what they are due for and writes the exact message to each one.
It does not mean you write the outreach by hand. The clip's point is to have AI build it for you.
The decision
Pull your client list from the past two to three years, with invoices and the services you delivered. Put it into AI. Ask who is due for the same service again and who is ready for the next thing, and have it write the message to each one. Put a scheduling link in every message.

You have forgotten about the people who paid you. Look at everybody you've worked with in the past 2 to 3 years. Get their invoices with the services you provided, drop it into AI and have AI create a program to reach out to all those folks. Maybe it's time for them to get that service again. Maybe it's time for them to get something that branches off from what you originally did for them. They love you. Stay in front of them. Reach out to them. Why chase new money? When the older money that already paid you is comfortable paying you again and have AI do it for you. Pro tip include a scheduling link. Like I use Calendly to schedule a time. I'm Jeff Fargo.
