Meet the New Charlatans... Same as the Old Charlatans
Remember the clowns promising 90 leads a month with their “AI-powered shade marketing system”? They vanished. Cute trick. Don’t worry—fresh ones just crawled in.
Their hustle? Rebrand, repeat.
Two years ago: “Crypto Gurus.” Last year: “NFT Wizards.” Now: “AI Lead-Gen for Blind & Shade Dealers.” Same people. Same nonsense. New label.
How the pitch works
They know you want booked consults and showroom traffic, so they toss out “guarantees,” mumble tech jargon, and sell you “exclusive AI leads.” Translation: junk inquiries—if anything—then poof.
Reality check
Reality check: if someone promises 30/60/90 “guaranteed” leads from a black box, they’re selling hope, not results.
What actually works
Want a shortcut? Stop chasing shortcuts. Do the stuff that actually works:
- Google Ads that target buyer intent
- Local SEO that ranks your GBP and service pages
- Referral partners (designers, realtors, builders) who send you warm intros
- Write blogs and articles on your site for AI systems.
Unsexy? Yep. Profitable? Absolutely.
Because the only thing these AI “geniuses” are shading… is the truth.
