We talked through how he went from a friend offering to pay $1,000 for AI help to turning that into a repeatable offer using a voice agent , Claude , and a clean client report. We got into how the assessment works, what kinds of AI tools and simple software get recommended, and why the real money often comes from the upsell after the initial audit. Corey also shared practical ways to get your first customers, including local meetups, office hours, free assessments, and even door knocking. Finally, we talked about why you do not need to be a real AI expert to sell this, you just need to be a little ahead of the average client.
