THE AUTOMATED HIRING FUNNEL

Get an Army of 1099 commission-only salespeople in weeks with a software to manage them effortlessly.

Of fill any other role in weeks (used with sales, senior developers, markets, attorneys, trucker drivers, even CEO's).

The Automated Hiring System filters out 95% of candidates automatically for you, without reading a single resume, so you can spend your time meeting with the small minority who may be a fit for your needs.

There's a $3,000 setup cost (refunded in full if it doesn't get you results) in which we roll up our sleeves, figure out what you need, and customize every aspect of the "funnel" to your needs, which includes:

1) Posting to get attention
2) Implementing automated systems to track and respond to applicants in a personalized way, despite no API offered by Indeed
3) Adding auto-cancellation criteria to further filter down the end people you meet with

So you end up with ~5% of people appearing in your calendar, with everything you need to know about them in front of you.

This is the result of 6 months of experimentation with Indeed.com that would otherwise cost a company paying a Hiring Manager, CTO, and Automation Engineer for 6 months of experimentation and optimization.

You get it for $3,000 with a refund if it doesn't work for you (it has worked 100% of the time, more than 40 times so far, over a 2 year period).

The 2 Week MVP

I have built 12 Minimum Viable Products in anywhere between 3 days and 3 weeks.

I'm always in search of other Niche Industry problems that software can be used to solve and am happy to connect with anyone that wants to partner to get the right tech solution built quickly.

I'm not looking for Unicorn $1B startup ideas.

I'd prefer a Niche Industry of business customers where we get 100 paying customers at $1,000-$5,000 /month in recurring revenue.

Watch examples below to see the scope so you understand these are not small softwares built.

I've been a Business Analyst 12 years, having gathered 10,000's of Software Product Requirements as a startup founder.

I've been a Chief Product Officer and CTO for 10 years, founding and building from scratch.

To date, I've designed, led, built, and optimized more than 300 SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) modules across many products.

Here are a few of the MVPs (and beyond MVP that I've built):

Trucker Matcher (~1.5 weeks to MVP)
Partner Rally (~2 weeks to MVP)
Lead Bridge (~5 days to MVP)
Easy Work Orders (~3 days to MVP)
Real Estate Showcase (~2 weeks to MVP)
Community Helper (~4 days to MVP)
COVID-19 Marketplace (~3 weeks to MVP)
Commercial Real Estate CRM (~2 weeks to MVP)
U10K - Uber For Freight (~3 weeks to MVP)

If you have a strong network with many industry B2B connections where you see a need that software can fill, reach out, let's chat, and see if there's an opportunity.

Video Testimonial by Joy McIntosh, Assistant Head of School (watch below)
"I would purchase SKILL BUILDER['s Active Shooter training] again without any hesitation.

I really found that this course… really made you THINK… I’ve been in other courses where it’s in person… and the time to really think ‘what would I personally do’ really isn’t possible when you’re all together in one space… because you’re not even in your own space… [this really makes it] what’s true FOR YOU…

A lot of the same messaging was included in the in-person trainings [we’ve done], however… this course makes you think about your specific situation… it’s much more PERSONAL and that’s what I’d say is the biggest difference…

Jeff is fantastic! You send him an email, you get an answer! And if he doesn’t have the answer, he says ‘hang on, I’ll get the answer’… It’s been amazing… the turnaround with any question has been nearly instantaneous, if not right then within that minute, then it’s as soon as he can possibly get the answer to the question.

it was like a One-Stop-Shop, which was really excellent… 

I actually put all of our policies and procedures into the course, so as they were going through the overall course, so they could see as they were going through the course that Yes, we have these in place and here they are in writing… it was Incredible… it made it really useful to our particular school… and it was EASY… it was easy to use, it was easy to fill in… it was seamless… it was… it was excellent."

ACTIVE SHOOTER PREPARATION TRAINING

James Marr, Retired Law Enforcement, High-End Security Professional, Asset Protection, Executive Protection
"the way you have put this training together, I’ve never seen anything like it… it’s a paradigm shift in learning which I’ve never seen before… this is interactive, it tests one’s ability to retain, first understand and then retain… it makes the student think while they have a comfortable safe environment to do so… nothing is guaranteed in an active shooter situation… but if you take this course, you should be able to have some type of fundamental preparation, should an incident occur… as far as a 1-on-1, I believe this is the best you can do"

Burke Slater, 20 Years in Medical Device Big Pharma Sales & Management
"my overall opinion of this training is it’s fantastic, it’s needed… I think everyone is better for having gone through it… I think it’s a fabulous way to train a lot of people at once in an economic fashion… it definitely takes you down the path and keeps you on path and guides you through the whole process from A-Z… Skill Builder takes it to another level… everyone is being coached on the same exact strategies… I couldn’t imagine any other way you could feasibly roll this out to a large number of people… with in-person, the cost would be through the roof…this training is applicable to everyone… if you have 10 people or 100,000, this should be seriously looked at as a way of keeping your people safe… this is invaluable, you can’t put a price on it"

Founder, CEO

Montreal Mini-Storage Group

I spearheaded all technical challenges for Montreal Mini Storage, Quebec's largest provider of self-storage with roughly 7,000 units and 40 employees.

Overall Mandate: Remove technical obstacles and automate as many manual processes as possible to scale. Initially 3 month trial contract, then renewed monthly by CEO (detailed video testimonial below).

To quote Simon, the CEO, 
"It is worth the investment, and then some, to work with someone like Jeff. You really don't realize the amount of money you DON'T make, especially when you don't have the right solutions involved, you don't realize how much of your own time you're wasting, and only after I started working with Jeff did I see the value that was freed up, not just for myself, but the value to not have people working with frustrating technologies that didn't quite fit perfectly. I'm very very pleased with the decision and I would tell my young self that that's one of those things that's certainly worth it... I've always known that when I wanted to make up a good contract I should hire a lawyer... this is something that's no different."

Mandates completed (a few of the 15+), by order of value to the business:
- $25,000+ yearly in perpetuity: Designed, led, developed a custom storage booking system integrated to their existing backend system -> Removing dependency on expensive vendors ($25,000+ yearly in perpetuity)
- $100,000+ & 12+ months: From 3 days of business requirements analysis, I determined that the 6 previous months of development (before I joined) was a waste and avoided the next year of development-> I course-corrected.
- $24,000: Turned a website quoted at $25,000 by a vendor, into a <$1,000 implementation -> Analyzed, removed redundancies, extracted essentials, found a freelancer.
- Automated Google Reviews: Converted a manual review collection for storage locations, into an automated daily running system with no human error (started getting ~50+ Google Reviews /month - Completed within 1 week)

Automation Integrators

We help people and businesses that are highly focused on sales (emphasis on real estate) to maximize their revenue by closing more deals through the incorporation of advanced software automation into every facet of their business, enabling each person to achieve what it would otherwise take 3-5 people to achieve, without working more, and with no learning curve.

Some of our automations are designed for helping a brokerage/agency as a whole, keeping all sales people "on track" and improving global performance, while others are designed to maximize what each person is able to accomplish by automating certain time consuming and repetitive parts that most people find tedious and demotivating to do.

Here are some of our ever-growing list of automations (if you would like to know more about specific ones, just ask):

GLOBAL PERFORMANCE
- The Automated Personal Assistant For Every Agent
- The “Lazy Agent” Lead Reassign
- The Auto-Reassign of Extra Leads
- Auto-Pull New Email Leads Into CRM

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
- The Delayed Email Auto-Reply
- The Bad Lead Weed-Out Form
- The Automated Text Message Follow-up Grind

If you have a specific problem you would like us to try to solve through an automated system, let us know and we'll see what we can come up with.

Automation Integration Specialist

I love solving difficult business problems with software.

Want to get my help 1-on-1 by text or video or see more about me?
https://mvpexpert.carrd.co/

Here are some of the 15 complex problems I've solved and I'm always looking for other lucrative ones worth solving.

Each with a 👇 can be seen in more detail in my "Experiences" below.

1) 👇 The Automated Hiring Funnel helps you filter out 95% of candidates who are a waste of your time, so you can focus on the 5% that are viable potentials.

It piggybacks off Indeed.com and has been used to find viable candidates in many roles within a 2 week period. See below for more.

2) 👇 TRUEclaims is a software for Attorneys, Auto Appraisers, Body Shops, and Towing Companies, that generates Diminished Value Reports and Fair Market Value Reports for damaged/totaled vehicles in 1-5 minutes, equivalent to 2-4 hours of manual skilled labor.

I built it with the consulting help of an Auto Adjuster who has assessed over 20,000 vehicles, who spent 15 years trying to automate the process, unsuccessfully. He went through 19 companies, all of which said it was impossible, one of which wanted to charge him $1M to attempt to build it with no timeline provided. I built a working version in less than 1.5 months.

3) I created an Amazon buying and selling software in 2 weeks, that worked, that a company tried to build, unsuccessfully, for $500,000.

4) I created a matching system software to help fight antisemitism, connecting victims to attorneys willing to help pro-bono. This system would have cost $80,000-$100,000 to build. I built it in 1.5 weeks. (this one I did pro-bono)

-----
THE CRITERIA I LOOK FOR IN SOFTWARE TO BUILD

a. A problem that is non-simple with complex requirements that most people would get wrong
b. Where a solution will produce massive value (increased profits, decreased losses, valuable customer insights, huge time saved)
c. Where a single customer would pay at least $1,000 /month for a solution

-----
I've spent a decade trying to find a strong Business Development partner.

If you're a natural salesperson, unrelenting, self-motivated, I'd like to meet you. We'll make a lot of money together.

Simple AWS

Simple AWS is a content effort to help devs, cloud engineers and tech experts stop copying cloud solutions and start understanding them.

It started with a free weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.simpleaws.dev
Then it grew to 2 books: https://downloads.simpleaws.dev
And a few speaking opportunities.
And now I'm recording a video course.

The idea behind Simple AWS is that you can't learn how to architect cloud solutions by focusing on individual services and obscure configurations, which is what most content and even what certifications focus on. I believe the only way to learn how to architect solutions is to focus on solving problems with a holistic approach, and using AWS as a tool, instead of treating it like an end goal.

If you want to be called a Solutions Architect, go get a certification, they're $150.
If you want to learn how to architect better cloud solutions, sign up to the newsletter for free, and check out the books and courses! https://www.simpleaws.dev

Some stats:
- 3800 newsletter subscribers
- 42% open rate
- 7.2% click rate
- 106/110 positive ratings (78 loved it!)
- 1700 book copies sold or given away (both books combined)
- 100% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on both books

Moar Clients

This was an idea that I explored briefly, to help dev agencies land more clients via email marketing.

Most dev agencies I had contact with had no idea how to do email marketing, and most email marketing companies that I had contact with had no idea how dev agencies worked. I understood dev agencies, and I was starting to understand email marketing, so I figured that put me in a good position to give this a shot. Most importantly, I had an itch to start a business, so I did that.

I expected to be able to set direction and build processes from the beginning, and get the ball rolling by subcontracting the largest part of the work. You probably know that's not how things work, but I needed this experience to learn that lesson.

I was actually able to put together a decent initial process using Sales Navigator, Apollo, Salesflare and Woodpecker, and while the emails were a bit spammy, I did get some replies and a couple of meetings. I even trained one person on a large part of it.

Eventually I shut it down because of the economic situation. Dev agencies were struggling to get clients, and the situation showed no signs of improving. That may sound like the best way to launch a service like this, but while I was certainly better than most dev agencies at getting them clients, I wasn't good enough to turn the situation around.

Overall I'm satisfied with the experience. I learned some valuable lessons, and didn't lose too much money in the process.

Founder

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS Authorized Instructor, which allows me to teach official AWS trainings. This does NOT mean I am directly employed by AWS, just that I am a part of the AWS Training Program as an authorized freelance instructor (i.e. not an employee), and certified to teach AWS official trainings.

I do not create trainings material, I just deliver the official trainings (online or in person) as a freelancer.

Some statistics:
- 10 courses taught
- >150 attendants in total
- 4.8 CSAT score

While a few times I've delivered for one or two teams of a single company, in most of the classes I've taught the group was very heterogeneous, comprised of people from different companies with different positions, different backgrounds and different areas of expertise, and the challenge would be to explain the topics from various angles so that everyone could relate to them in some way.

Not only did I increase the depth of my knowledge about the topics that I taught, I also learned how to communicate effectively with heterogeneous groups, catering to diverse backgrounds and varying levels of knowledge in different areas of expertise. And very importantly, I learned how to not only get them to listen to what I was saying, but rather get them to understand it and actually learn it. I even learned how to facilitate discussions and collaborative exercises. Also, timekeeping skills play a huge role in teaching successfully.

Teaching is hard, and teaching well is even harder. And when it comes to trainings, AWS won't settle for anything less than excellent quality. I'm very proud to say that I achieved and maintained that level of excellence and those high standards throughout the trainings that I've taught. And this goes beyond the CSAT scores (which were always in the top 10%), this is about the people, and the impact that I I've the opportunity to have in their careers.

AWS Authorized Instructor

Foresight Technologies

Cloud Engineer

Caramel Point

There's two things you need to understand about me in the moment I accepted a software engineer position at Caramel Point:
- Originally I started out as a developer, and I coded for several years before going into devops and cloud.
- I had barely touched a line of code in the last two years when they offered me the position.

So, in I went, armed with some pretty rusty knowledge on how to code and no actual experience in the technologies that they were using. They told me I had to learn React, Node and GCP, and I was cool with that. Then they mentioned something called NFTs, and that's where they lost me.

A month in I was writing production code in React while single-handedly designing and implementing (including the code) a serverless, event-driven backend in GCP. After two more months I was leading a small team, learning solidity on the side and implementing my own NFT project (nothing commercial).

The trick was bringing my other experiences to the table. In those two years that I didn't spend coding I improved my communication skills A LOT and got a wider perspective on software solutions and architectures. Some knowledge like writing CloudFormation templates was not at all transferrable, and I did notice some rust in my coding skills, but I never stopped dealing with difficult problems, so that skill was pretty sharp.

I have to say, Caramel Point really is a great place to work, filled with great people and with a culture centered around those people. This company is literally the reason why I came back to coding.

Some achievements:
- Designed and built an event-driven private NFT environment (Ethereum, IPFS and Arweave) deployed on Kubernetes
- Single-handedly built a serverless, event-driven backend on GCP to handle 400 transactions per hour
- Led a team of 5 people to create a full NFT platform

Software Engineer

Back when I made the jump from dev to devops I thought nobody would hire me with zero devops experience, so if no company was going to take me I would start my own company and hire myself. Pretty stupid, I know, but that's where Dream On originally comes from. I didn't actually want to run a company, so I just focused on improving my skills, developing my personal brand and marketing myself as an SME. I was effectively a freelancer working with a cool email address, and I never even got around to building Dream On's website.

As a freelancing experience, it was rocky, but mostly in a good way. First I landed a role as a contractor at McAfee, and learned a lot of Kubernetes the hard way. After that I did several small jobs through Upwork and Fiverr, and slowly found my niche: small companies whose TL and CTO weren't experts in AWS, but knew enough to understand that they needed an expert.

I landed several clients through LinkedIn and got to design, build and improve many interesting solutions. I got offered some full-time roles, but I rejected them in favor of several small clients whom I billed by the hour, plus the official AWS trainings that I was teaching as an AWS Authorized Instructor.

2021 found me accepting a short term contractor role with Caramel Point, and I was so enamored by their culture and their way of working that when they offered me a full-time dev position I gladly accepted.

I marked that date as the end of this freelancing phase, but a year and a bit later I turned back to Dream On. It was a completely different experience though, so I listed it as a different experience.

Software Engineering Courses

At some points of my career I was approached to teach classes on different aspects of software development. These small experiences served me as a basis to later land a freelance AWS Authorized Instructor position, as well as practice and improve my communication skills in a time when I wasn't as confident standing in front of an audience or acting as an expert.

This is the list of courses that I've had the pleasure of teaching, for which I designed the curriculum (approved by the customer), created all the teaching materials, and was either the main or the only instructor:
- Test Automation introductory course: Geared towards people with some very basic coding notions and no formal software development experience, the course started by explaining the software development lifecycle and the importance of testing, then covered basic notions of testing and testing principles, test cases and test plans, delved into test automation using Selenium, and finished with a class on Scrum and agile methodologies. 20 alumni.
- AWS Solutions Architect Associate mentoring: The goal was not to teach AWS itself, but rather to help the alumni pass the Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate certifications. It started with a bit of my own experience taking the exam, then covered the topics and the structure of the exam. Then it became weekly meetings to clear doubts, discuss some topics, and some vertical knowledge transfer, the duration of which I tried to keep under a half of the meeting duration. There were also a lot of practice questions, which we analyzed and reviewed together. 12 alumni.
- Docker for developers: A course designed for java developers with no knowledge or experience in containers. The first two classes were focused on the what and the why (and the paradigm shift needed to understand why containers are good), after which we got into Docker and how to use it, and finished with a brief overview of orchestration and Kubernetes. 6 alumni.
