## Resource

Grab the free Mini AI Assessment Playbook here: https://corey-ganim.kit.com/0cea7ca381 In this solo episode, I break down the exact offer ladder that's letting complete beginners hit $10K a month selling AI services without a single cold call, cold email, or DM. I walk through the three rungs — a free 15-minute mini AI assessment, a $999 paid AI assessment, and a $1,000–$2,000/month AI Concierge engagement — and show you the real math behind why you only need four AI Concierge clients and four paid assessments a month to hit that number. I get specific on who your ideal client actually is, the exact text message script to send your warm network, and the pricing mistakes that keep people underpaid doing this work. By the end of this episode, you'll have the full playbook to land your first paying AI client this month, plus a free download to run it yourself.
