It encourages viewers to start with one or two tools relevant to their situation and experiment. ## Transcript people are just running after tools. Whereas today everyone is able to use AI. But still 90% of the people are not able to earn anything from it. Because if you want to earn money with AI, then it is not limited to just AI tools. The point is to create a fly will. And in this video I will tell you about 10 AI tools which you can use without coding and can create flywheel. And I will also tell you what fly will actually be ? So Welcome to Skills or India's most relatable career channel. And according to Bloombark data, every sector is now adopting AI very rapidly. And according to McGee's survey, 88% of organizations are using AI. But only 1/3 of those companies have successfully scaled their AI programs. Everyone else is using the tools but not seeing growth because they are using the tools in isolation. Generate leads with one tool, send emails with another , take payments with a third. But these flows are not connected to each other. And let me tell you, real money is not made by just using the tools. It is created by the system. When every step you take automatically triggers the next step. When lead generation converts into nurturing and when sales convert into delivery, it is called the flywheel. And today I will tell you about its 10 tools and also tell you how to convert them into a connected system. Tool number one Apollo. So let's start with the first tool. Look, most businesses don't fail because their product is bad or their computation is too strong. Rather, those businesses fail because they do n't find enough right people and their average conversion rate is around 1 to 2%. Meaning, if you send 1000 emails, only 10 of them will respond and out of that only 1 to 2% will actually buy and this is where Apple comes in handy. Appollo is a sales engine built for targeted prospecting. Just enter the criteria: Fintech CTOS, New York-based, less than 500 employees, and Apple will give you hundreds of qualified contacts. It works in India too and you can filter everything from tier two cities to specific industries. But it is important to understand one thing here. Having a list and using it effectively are two completely different things. So now let's talk about the second tool. Tool number two clay. This adds a human layer to your list. Clay has become a secret weapon for high-growth companies like Rippling. And more than 3 lakh GTM teams are using it for their outbon and revenue growth. Because Clay automatically finds emails, job titles, work experience, education, press mentions, and social profiles, you get a complete picture of each prospect. And you must understand that the response rate of a personalized outreach is much higher than a generic or AI generated email. And another thing that plays a role in this is your response time. Meaning, if you respond within 5 minutes, your chances of reaching the prospect increase manifold. But only 7% of companies respond at this speed. So here you can take the edge. But friends, generating leads is just the beginning. The real challenge begins in nurturing them. And here comes our third tool, Brevo. And for this I will give the They had built a solid lead generation engine. Their product demo was quite accurate. But still convergence was not happening. Why? Because they weren't investing in lead nurturing at all. And research says most leads need six to eight gentle touches before they commit. And here comes the name of Bravo. Bravo is your digital sales representative who never forgets to follow up. You just set the complete nurture sequence in it. Introductions, value propositions, case studies, offers, reminders, and it will automate everything. Plus Rebo tracks engagement. Who is opening emails, who is clicking, with the help of which you can easily identify and prioritize warm leads. use Bravo because it's the most affordable option for them and easy to setup. But now think, when Leeds gets warm, what's next? Here comes the fourth tool, Calently. Once the leads are finally warmed up, the next step is to actually meet them. But here a problem arises that sometimes so much time is wasted in scheduling the meeting that the prospect's interest starts waning. You say you're free Monday, they say no, you say Tuesday, they say evening only, and these emails keep going back and forth. So Calently makes this task very easy and convenient. You just send a link. The prospect will automatically see your free slots and book his time accordingly. And in this the calendars get synced automatically and your meeting gets confirmed. But the process we saw so far was just preparation. The real game begins now. Closing challenge and tool number five comma. Friends, now let us come to the most critical part of this entire process. You put so much effort into generating leads, nurturing them, setting up meetings. But according to a 2025 survey by Challenger, getting buyer commitment is the biggest challenge for 60% of sellers. And research by Lindin and Sales Board also shows that even when intent is clear, deals often collapse due to speculation and hesitation. First proposals. So what happens normally? You write your ideas in rough. Then you send it to a designer. He makes the draft. You give revisions. He then makes it and this thing continues for a week or so and by then the excitement of your prospect has completely cooled down and here Gamma changes the game. This tool does its job in literally minutes. You simply give it your raw ideas , meeting notes, strategy points and Gamma automatically converts them into professional visual presentations. Be it Vox, PDF or web pages, anything. Now you will wonder why the visuals are so intense? So look, there is an interesting science behind this. She says that 65% of people are visual learners and the brain people are visual learners and the brain remember visuals for a longer time. So if you want your client to remember what you say, then it is a must to use visuals. And Gamma literally converts your raw ideas into polished presentations. That too in just a few minutes and that's why freelancers and agencies in India use Gamma when creating last minute client presentations. Because it is equally important to look professional in front of the client. But making a proposal is just one pillar. Now let's talk about the second pillar. Tool number six air table. The second pillar is pipeline management. So imagine a startup that is in million dollar business. But there was chaos in his operations. Because everything is just running in Google Sheets and no one knows which deal is at which stage. Plus important follow-ups are being missed. Opportunities are slipping away. And then in such situations, Air Table helps the business. It provides a perfect balance and also has options for different views, filters and automation. And despite all this, its interface is so simple that anyone can use it. Just make a pipeline tracker base. Add company name, contact person, stage, deal value, next action. And that's it. But even after the proposals and pipeline, one critical thing remains. That is payment. Tool Number Seven Stripe. And this is probably the most critical pillar because ultimately everything depends on operations payments. You generated leads, nurtured them, held meetings, closed the deal but if the payment is not smooth then the deal can drop at the last moment. And the best option for this is Stripe. It literally handles every type of revenue model. One time payment required. Done, monthly subscriptions done, installments done. And Stripe is already being used by billion dollar companies like Samsung, Nibe, Amazon, Apple. And the reason for all this is that it is the most reliable and secure Industry reports say that companies have dedicated teams dedicated only to matching payment data. Which is a very resource intensive task. avoided. Because in this you Razer Pay is also a solid option for India as its UPI integration Minimizing payment friction. But friends, closing the deal is only half the battle. The real game begins at delivery time and this is where our next two tools come in. Delivery and tool number at lovelybal. Look, research says that the consumers of brands that provide fast delivery become many times more loyal. Make repeat purchases and stick with them long term. And the entire business model of Amazon Prime and Quick Commerce is And the entire business model of Amazon Prime and Quick Commerce is delivery types that make the most money are apps and digital assets. So the first one is love verbal. Imagine building working apps with just basic language prowess. Zero coding tension, just type build me a lead capture page with Stripe checkout and layout logic in seconds payment integration ready then say add pricing page and done, meaning what used to take weeks with designers and developers is now done in minutes. No-code enthusiasts in India are exploring Lubal as the entry barrier has literally been removed. And its speed and simplicity give the user an addictive dopamine hit. But apart from apps, digital assets also have to be delivered. And for that comes our next tool, tool number nine gum road. You must have noticed that nowadays in the creator economy, most of the creators are creating and marketing their own courses, templates and e-books. But the real challenge is selling them. And Gumroad helps creators in this. In this you just have to upload your assets. You just need to set the pricing and Gumroad will take care of the rest.

Creators and core sellers in India choose Gumroad because it goes live in literally a few hours and its global shop front works for you 24*7. But all the tools we've seen so far are powerful individually, but their real benefit is achieved when they work as a system. And here comes our last and most important tool. Tool No. 10 Zapier & Na10. All the tools I mentioned, from Apollo to Gum Road, are potential is unlocked when they work as connected systems. Because right now the main problem is that apps cannot talk to each other. Once the customer fills the form, it has to be entered manually in the CRM. The lead signs up but the welcome email has to be triggered manually. And it is these manual steps that break the processes. But you have to understand that automation is a kind of relay race. If a customer asks for a refund, an email reply should be sent automatically. CRM updates should happen when a lead is converted or delivery should be triggered when a deal is closed and for this, there are two major players in the industry, Zapier and N10. ZPier is the OG of automation. It connects to over 7000 apps and is perfect for simple walk-throughs. When the customer fills the form, it will update in Google Sheets. Slack will automatically place an alert and send a welcome email. But Zapier charges on a task basis. So as you scale, its cost also increases. And the second tool, NA10, is an upgrade option. It provides flexibility for literally thousands of tasks. Because it is an open source tool. So you can host it on your server with full control. And the most exciting part is that N10's AI workflow builder also designs workflows for you. Zapier is an easy start for beginners. But for advanced power users, the N10 provides a next-level playground. But so far we've only talked about tools. The real magic starts when it all works together. And here comes the concept of flywheel. The best businesses build flywheels where each rotation makes the next rotation easier and faster. So imagine a complete system where Apollo finds and brings leases for you. Then Clay enriches the entire context. Bravo polishes emails with a human touch. Then, Calendly instantly books meetings. Gamma converts simple notes into proposals, and AirTable keeps exact track of every deal. Smooth Stripe payments. Build a low-value product or deliver Gumroad assets. And use Zapier or NA Last to ensure that each step automatically triggers the next steps. friends, this was a complete journey. 10 Tools That Can Transform Your Business From Apollo to N10, from Lead Generation to Automation.
