$11K in sales in the first month. A shop six months later.

Timeline

From first call to a physical shop

1. Mid-December 2025

   First conversations. Yusef walks through his pain points: every lead comes through Facebook DMs, every quote is done by hand, and growth depends on him talking to as many people as he can every day.

2. January 2026

   ABAS is on as consultant and builder. Daily working sessions and new strategies implemented every day.

3. January 2026

   Prototype: a full quote system built by ABAS and put live at abassolutions.net/larri. Customers completed real quotes, but booking alerts were not wired yet. We shelved it to slow down and focus on traction.

4. Mid-February 2026

   Yusef reports $11K in sales and about $8K net profit in the first month of the new strategy.

5. Summer 2026

   About six months in, the business opens a physical shop and becomes Larri Fast Garage.

6. Now

   With the shop running, ABAS relaunches the system at abassolutions.net/larri: quote form and quote chat, owner email alerts, a phone admin, customer order tracking and a dealer portal.

The starting point · December 2025

A real business with no system behind it

Yusef Sadiq ran Larri Powder Coating with his co-founder. The work was good and customers were happy, but everything ran through one person.

• Every lead came in through Facebook DMs.
• Every quote was worked out by hand, one conversation at a time.
• Job details lived in text threads.
• The growth plan was simple and exhausting: talk to as many people as possible, every day, and hope word of mouth caught on.

No AI. No funnel. No way to tell which effort was paying off.

The diagnosis

The bottleneck was attention and speed to lead

When we mapped how a customer actually found Larri and became a paid job, the problem was not missing quoting software. People were interested. They liked posts, commented and asked questions, and too many of those moments went cold before Yusef could answer.

So the first question was not “what should we build?” It was “what gets more of the right people to raise their hand, and how fast can we answer when they do?”

What we did

Three roles, one engagement

The result · February 2026

$11K in sales and about $8K net in month one

By mid-February, Yusef reported $11K in sales and about $8K net profit in the first month of the new strategy. Total ad spend was about $400 in Facebook ads across January–February 2026.

What drove it

1. 01Facebook ads

   Facebook ads, 2–3 per week, until traction caught on — about $400 in total across January–February, and the most useful lever early

2. 02Speed to lead

   AI-assisted follow-up: people who liked or commented on posts with interest got a fast reply in their inbox, so speed to lead went up

3. 03Consistency

   Organic content on Facebook and TikTok

4. 04Measurement

   An ROI framework so Yusef could measure his own impact — and keep an honest view of it

We report sales and net separately on purpose. If you cannot calculate your impact honestly, you cannot improve it. For the same reason we do not quote a return-on-ad-spend figure: the ad spend covered about six weeks and the sales figure covers one month, so the two are not directly comparable.

Six months later

Larri Fast Garage

About six months after we started, the business opened a physical shop and grew into Larri Fast Garage: wheel powder coating, then complete builds, restorations, restomods, lowriders and custom vehicles.

Every engagement starts with the same three questions
