Updates, ideas, and practical notes from Lumina Sales on building and selling AI software.
Follow via RSSRun the audit on the prospect's own domain, pick one finding they can verify in thirty seconds, and open with that. Here is how the website audit node works, how to use it, and where it stops helping.
OpenAI's Decisions API went generally available on October 22, and GPT-Live can now call it while a caller is mid-sentence. Here is what shipped this month, what it costs, and the four places it does not help you.
Lumina Sales tracks demo opens, calls and website audits. Here is which of those signals mean something, how to read them together, when to follow up, and where the tracking stops.
Nobody has bought from you yet and the prospect just asked who else you have done this for. Here is what to say, what counts as proof before you have clients, and the proof you are legally not allowed to invent.
A cold call to a local business owner should do one thing: get him to open a demo link. Here is the opener, the gatekeeper line, the voicemail and the follow-up I would use, plus who should not cold call at all.

One hundred live voice minutes is about forty demo conversations, or twenty if every call runs the full five minutes. Here is how the meter works, how to plan a month of demos against it, and why the single published demo limit matters more than the minutes.

Every Lumina Sales demo runs on a vertical pack: the services, price bands, objections and booking language of one trade. Here is what a pack contains, how it changes a demo, and what it does not do for you.
On voice quality alone, most callers can no longer tell an AI receptionist from a person. What gives it away on a live call is timing, interruptions, and questions it was never set up to answer. Here is what the research says and how to handle the objection honestly.
The demo call that closes is the one where you talk least. Here is the twenty-minute sequence we use, the three questions worth planting, what to do when the agent stumbles in front of the buyer, and the cases where running a live demo is the wrong move.
