- @TawohAwa outlines a no-code AI business: build AI phone receptionists with Retell AI and sell to US local businesses (plumbers, cleaners, salons, real estate) that miss calls or lack after-hours booking.
- Workflow: find leads on Google Maps, configure Retell with services/hours/pricing/FAQs, connect to the business phone number and booking calendar, test by calling, then pitch with a short demo recording.
- Pricing: $500 setup + $200/month per client; 5 clients = $2,500 one-time + $1,000 MRR before expenses. Retell's own case studies cite handling 100% of inbound calls and $280K/month collected for a medical client.
