# 187 7 AI services boomer businesses are BEGGING for

In this solo episode, I break down the exact 7 AI service offers that small business owners are lining up to pay for right now, starting with the one that requires zero AI experience to sell. I walk through the what, why, build process, and real pricing for each one, from the $999 AI assessment that converts 50-60% of clients into bigger engagements, to the AI concierge retainer that's currently my biggest personal income stream, to full implementations that can run $5,000 to $10,000 or more. I share real client stories along the way, including a fintech CEO whose weekly memo process we cut from two hours to 15 minutes, and an Amazon seller whose 25-step ad reporting process we trimmed to 10. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly which offer to start with, how to price each one, and how they stack into each other so you're never stuck pitching something you're not ready to fulfill.

It's a paid diagnostic: a 45-minute interview uncovering bottlenecks, delivered as a report showing 3-7 off-the-shelf AI tools the business can implement immediately. Priced at $999, and 50-60% of clients convert into a bigger implementation engagement. The AI concierge is a done-with-you monthly retainer where you sit side by side with the business owner and turn their manual processes into Claude skills. Priced at $1,000-$2,000 a month for two 45-minute calls, which works out to $750-$1,250+ an hour, because you're pricing on hours saved for the client, not hours worked. Never automate a broken process. A process redesign strips the waste out of a workflow before any AI or automation touches it. One Amazon seller paid $3,500 just to cut his 25-step, 10-hour-a-week ad analysis process down to 10 steps and about an hour a week, before automation was ever on the table. Simple automation builds using Zapier or Make.com work best when the input and output are concrete and repeat the same way every time. A wedding venue business paid $1,500 to fully automate a manual Asana onboarding duplication task that was eating an hour of a project manager's time every week. Knowledge systems are custom GPTs or Claude projects trained on a client's content to answer repetitive questions. A business broker went from 500 buyer emails per listing to about 10 after we built a custom GPT trained on his marketing package, priced at $3,000. Custom workflows turn a client's existing scattered AI use into one-click Claude skills. One client's podcast production process, previously 30-45 minutes of manual copy-pasting into ChatGPT, became a five-minute run of an orchestrator skill. This tier prices at $3,000-$5,000, based on the deliverable, not the hours. Full implementation is the mix-and-match top tier, combining any of the previous six offers into one engagement priced at $5,000-$10,000 or more, plus a monthly retainer worth roughly 10% of the build price to maintain it. Don't pitch this until you've done 5-10 smaller projects first.
