Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Greg and give away the entire playbook behind our AI Tools Assessment offer, the simplest AI-powered business model you can start in 2026 with zero AI skills, zero audience, and zero capital. I walk through the exact four-phase process we use to run a $999 assessment for small business owners, the client-facing report template (which you can download for free), and the six-item upsell menu that turns a $999 foot-in-the-door offer into $3K, $5K, and $10K+ engagements. I also break down my current AI Concierge retainer, which is generating me over $1,000 an hour, and the seven no-capital, no-audience client acquisition methods I'm using right now to fill my pipeline. By the end of this episode, you'll have the full stack: the offer, the fulfillment process, the upsells, and how to actually go get clients.
