Appointment note: "We need new business clients asap" — Art self-identified his pain point before the call. Lead with the solution, not the features.
Art Sims is one of the most accomplished graphic designers in American history. His posters for Do the Right Thing, Black Panther, and The Color Purple are housed in the permanent collections of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. His agency has worked with Marvel, Disney, HBO Max, Coca-Cola, and Hyundai. Despite this extraordinary legacy, his digital infrastructure is critically outdated — an expired secondary website, zero online reviews, and a Wix-built portfolio with no lead capture automation. He is actively seeking new business and has booked a discovery call for today at 4:00 PM. The gap between his creative reputation and his digital presence is the opportunity.

The Irony
Art Sims runs an advertising and branding agency — yet his own brand's digital presence scores critically low. His agency charges $250/hr with a $50,000+ minimum budget, yet the website was built by a third party on a free-tier website builder. His Instagram bio actively promotes a domain that is dead. The contrast between his legendary creative output and his digital infrastructure is the most powerful talking point in the entire pitch.
Gap Analysis
Click each gap to expandSales Strategy
Open with the Expired Domain — Live Demo
Foot in the DoorBefore the call, open 1124designadvertising.com in a browser tab. Show Art — live — that his Instagram bio link leads to a 'Website Expired' page. This is a demonstrable, undeniable problem that he can see with his own eyes. It immediately establishes credibility and creates urgency without you having to 'sell' anything.
Suggested Script
"Art, before we dive in — I did some research before our call and found something you need to see right now. Your Instagram bio is sending people to this page. [Share screen.] Every person who clicks your bio link sees 'Website Expired.' That's happening right now, today."
Pivot to the AI Agent — His Stated Need
Primary OfferHe booked specifically for AI agent discovery and his note says 'We need new business clients asap.' This is the core product. Frame the AI intake agent as a 24/7 new business development tool — not a chatbot. Every inquiry from a studio, a brand, or a director gets an instant, intelligent response that qualifies them and books a call.
Suggested Script
"Art, you said you need new business clients asap. The question is — how many inquiries are you missing right now because there's no instant response? Our AI agent answers your website, your Google listing, and your social media DMs within seconds, qualifies the lead, and books a call on your calendar. You wake up to booked meetings."
The Legacy Protection Upsell
UpsellArt Sims has generated over $1 billion in box office revenue and has zero online reviews. Frame the review automation and GHL website rebuild as 'protecting and monetizing your legacy.' His reputation should be working for him online — not invisible. A brand manager Googling 'entertainment advertising agency LA' should find Art Sims at the top, with a five-star profile and a portfolio that converts.
Suggested Script
"Art, you've generated over a billion dollars in box office revenue for your clients. You have zero reviews online. One automated message after each project — sent by our system, not by you — and within 90 days you have a five-star profile that any brand manager will see when they search for you."

Key Talking Points
His agency charges $250/hr and $50K+ minimum — one new client from the AI agent pays for years of GHL service.
The expired domain is a live, demonstrable problem. Show it on screen — don't just describe it.
$1B+ box office revenue, zero reviews. The contrast is the pitch — his reputation isn't working for him online.
He's a creative professional — use the word 'legacy' and 'protect.' Frame GHL as infrastructure, not software.
He needs new business 'asap' — lead with speed of results. Review automation and AI intake show results in 30–90 days.
He's a designer — offer to build him a demo of the new site live on the call if he's interested.
