Zero to $500K in Five Weeks With Just Phone Calls | Patrick Gomez

Zero to $500K in Five Weeks With Just Phone Calls | Patrick Gomez

Patrick Gomez quit his job as a CMO, filed an LLC for a hundred bucks, and sat at his desk thinking clients would just show up.

They didn't.

He panicked and DM'd 3,000 people on LinkedIn over two days straight. Got five clients. Lost all five almost immediately. That was the beginning.

Patrick is a serial entrepreneur who built SiteLyft, a subscription website business, from those early failures. Then he co-founded AntiAgency, a podcast-based lead generation company. And most recently he launched TurboClaim, an AI-powered claims management platform that raised half a million dollars from its own beta users in the first week.

He shares:
➤ Why your first clients should never pay you a dollar
➤ How he went from zero to $500K in recurring revenue in five weeks with just cold calls
➤ The case for building a side business before quitting your job
