You will define the offer, generate a lead list, conduct a 15-minute assessment, send a tailored follow-up, price the engagement, and manage delivery on a visible client board. Start by building one useful Claude skill for yourself. Then choose an outreach channel, aim for 20 conversations, and use the included assets as your operating system. ## Asset 1: Pack README ### AI Consulting Starter Pack From the video: The EASIEST AI Side Hustle To Make $286/day Fast (no skills) ### What is included 1. **Quick Start, Five Steps** One page. Read this first. 2. **Getting Started, Step by Step** The full walkthrough: what you are selling, the three doors to client one, the free assessment, the follow-up, pricing, the weekly session, and the flywheel. 3. **Prompts From The Video** The three Claude prompts: local business scanner, contacts miner, and call-to-prescription. 4. **AI Consulting Master Canvas** The full whiteboard from the video. 5. **Assessment Form, 10 Questions** The ten questions for the free 15-minute assessment. 6. **Client Board Template** The four-column board: found, auditing, optimising, and automated. Rebuild it in Notion, Trello, or a spreadsheet. Start with 20 conversations this week. ## Asset 2: Quick Start, Five Steps ### The maths - 2 clients x $1,000 per week = $2,000 per week - $2,000 divided by 7 = approximately $286 per day - One hour per client per week - 20 conversations produces two clients at a 10 percent close rate ### The five steps 1. **Build one Claude skill for yourself.** Automate one thing in your own life or work. That is the whole qualification. You only need to be one chapter ahead. 2. **Make the list.** Run Prompt 2 on your contacts. Text the Tier A people first. If you have no suitable contacts, run Prompt 1 on your suburb and visit the businesses in person. 3. **Conduct the free 15-minute assessment.** Use the ten questions. Do not pitch AI. Find one manual task that consumes part of their week and say: “That could be a Claude skill.” 4. **Send the follow-up within the hour.** Run Prompt 3 on the call transcript. Include one bottleneck, one fix, the time saved, and a soft close. Discuss price when they reply. 5. **Run the weekly session.** Work on one bottleneck at a time. Audit it by watching them do it, remove unnecessary steps, and automate what remains. Move it across the client board. Ask for a testimonial during the week it works. ### Pricing - Never charge below $1,000 per month. - Start the first client at $1,000. - Price the second client at $1,500. - Continue raising the price until someone says no. - Weekly sessions support a $1,000 per week offer. ### Primary failure point Doing everything except outreach. Ten conversations a day for 30 days beats doing 100 conversations once a week. ## Asset 3: Getting Started, Step by Step ### 1. Define what you are selling Sell a weekly working session with a business owner. During each Zoom or in-person session, select one manual task that consumes part of their week and turn it into a Claude skill they can run themselves. You are teaching and building alongside the client, not delivering a black box. | Element | Starting model | |---|---| | Client | Owner-run service businesses doing roughly $1M-$10M | | Examples | Plumbing, HVAC, real estate, brokers, advisors, and clinics | | Starting price | $1,000 or more per month | | Proven weekly offer | $1,000 per week | | Delivery time | About one hour per client per week | | Backend | Claude handles notes, board updates, and follow-ups | The best candidates are businesses that depend on the phone ringing, inbound leads, quotes, or bookings. ### 2. Become one chapter ahead You do not need to be an AI expert. You need to know how to build one Claude skill. Pick one task you perform manually every week and automate it. This becomes your practice run and initial proof. Once it works, shift your attention from studying to outreach. Client work will reveal what you need to learn next. ### 3. Choose a door to the first client #### Phone List the business owners in your existing contacts. Run Prompt 2, contact Tier A first, and contact Tier B after that. #### Walk in Run Prompt 1 for your suburb. Select the top five businesses, visit them, ask for the owner, and use the generated walk-in sentence. Meeting in person can establish trust quickly. #### Screen Post content about what you are building. This route takes longer to develop, but it can eventually produce inbound leads and support higher prices. ### 4. Offer the free 15-minute assessment Use this invitation: > 15 minutes, I’ll show you one way AI could make you money, save you time, or improve what you deliver. Free, no strings. During the assessment, look for one repeating manual task with real hours attached to it. Use the complete assessment form in Asset 6. End with: > You’re doing this by hand. It could be a Claude skill. When the owner asks whether you can build it, transition into the offer. ### 5. Send the follow-up Within one hour, run Prompt 3 on the transcript or your notes. The resulting message should include: - The bottleneck in the owner’s words - The proposed fix - The estimated time returned - A soft invitation to build it together Do not include the price in this message. Discuss price when the owner replies. ### 6. Apply the pricing ladder The source recommends never pricing below $1,000 per month because very low-priced clients can require more work than they justify. Use this progression: 1. First client: $1,000 2. Second client: $1,500 3. Continue raising the price until someone declines 4. Weekly sessions: up to $1,000 per week 5. Two sessions per month: approximately $1,000-$2,000 per month Tell existing clients when new clients pay more. This reinforces the value of their earlier price and may encourage referrals. ### 7. Run the weekly session Each session follows the same sequence: 1. **Found:** Record a bottleneck named during the assessment or a later session. 2. **Auditing:** Watch the client perform the task step by step. Take notes and do not change anything yet. This is most of the work. 3. **Optimising:** Remove steps that should not exist. A 14-step process may become a 9-step process. 4. **Automated:** Build a Claude skill for the cleaned process and test it while the client is present. Keep the board visible to the client. The automated column and the running “hours back per week” figure show the accumulating value of the engagement. ### 8. Ask for a testimonial During the week a workflow starts working, ask: > Mind if I share this? Save a screenshot of the client’s response. Blur the name if necessary. ### 9. Build the flywheel The flywheel is: **Client → Result → Testimonial → Post → Comment CTA → DMs → Inbound lead → Next client** One client can produce five posts: 1. **The receipt:** A screenshot and an explanation of how the result was achieved 2. **The build:** A screen recording of the skill 3. **Before and after:** For example, 14 steps reduced to one prompt 4. **The client:** A 20-second owner testimonial 5. **The invoice:** A blurred invoice with the number visible End each post with: > Comment AI and I’ll send you the exact prompt. The source suggests configuring ManyChat to send the promised material by DM automatically. Content hooks should include: - A specific number within the first two seconds - Proof visible before you speak - The outcome rather than the tool - One idea per post - A consistent comment CTA The suggested path in the source is: - Week 1: 20 conversations and one client - Weeks 2-4: Put the first skill live, beginning with the smallest bottleneck - Week 4: Ask for permission to share the result - Month 2: Publish one reel a day and turn on ManyChat - Months 3-4: Aim for clients three to five through inbound leads - Month 6: Raise the price and reduce outbound activity - Month 9 and later: Teach the process ## Asset 4: Three Copy-Ready Claude Prompts Prompt 1 requires web search. Prompt 2 requires a contacts export. Prompt 3 requires the assessment transcript or notes. Replace all bracketed placeholders. ### Prompt 1: Local Business Scanner ```text You're helping me build a lead list for a done-with-you AI consulting service. I sit down with a business owner once a week and automate one manual task at a time using Claude. Clients pay $1,000+ a month. I'm going to walk into these businesses in person. Search the web and find 15 businesses in [SUBURB, CITY] that match ALL of these: 1. Service business that depends on inbound calls, quotes, or bookings: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, landscaping, pest control, property management, real estate agencies, mortgage or insurance brokers, financial advisors, physio, dental, vets, accountants. 2. Owner-operated. Skip franchises, chains, and anything owned by private equity or a national group. 3. Established 5+ years with signs of scale: multiple staff, vehicles, or locations. Rough revenue $1M-$10M. 4. At least one sign they're behind on systems: no online booking, reviews unanswered for months, a dated website, a contact form instead of live chat, no visible CRM or automation. For each business, give me a table with these columns: - Business name and website - Category - Owner or director name (mark UNVERIFIED if you're inferring it) - The evidence they qualify: cite the specific thing you found, with the URL - The one bottleneck I'd guess they have, based on that evidence - The one Claude workflow I'd pitch in a free 15-minute assessment, and roughly how many hours a week it would save Rank them 1-15 by how likely the owner is to pay $1,000+/month for hands-on help. Put your confidence (high / medium / low) next to each rank and one line on why. Then, for the top 5, write the exact sentence I say when I walk in and ask for the owner. Under 25 words, no jargon, no mention of AI: just the outcome. Rules: don't invent businesses, names, or details. If you can't find 15 that match, give me fewer and say so. If a business fails a filter, leave it out rather than stretching. ``` ### Prompt 2: Contacts Miner ```text I'm attaching my contacts export. I'm starting a done-with-you AI consulting service: weekly working sessions with a business owner where we automate one manual task at a time. My first clients will come from people who already know me. Step 1: Sort. Go through every contact and tag anyone who is likely a business owner, co-founder, partner, or senior decision-maker at a company with 2-50 staff. Use job titles, company names, email domains, and any notes as signals. Ignore employees at large companies, recruiters, and anyone at a business too small to pay $1,000 a month (sole traders with no staff). Step 2: Tier. Put each qualified contact in one of three tiers: - Tier A: I clearly know them well (personal email, shared history, first-name notes) - Tier B: acquaintance (met once, ex-colleague, friend of a friend) - Tier C: I probably don't remember them and they don't remember me Step 3: Table. For everyone in Tier A and B: name, company, what the business does, why they qualify, tier, and one line on the most obvious thing a business like theirs is doing by hand that Claude could take over. Step 4: Messages. Write a text for each Tier A contact and a separate one for each Tier B contact. Rules: - 3 sentences max, casual, sounds like a real text from me, not a pitch - Reference something specific about them or their business - Never say "AI consulting" or mention a price - The only ask: 15 minutes for me to show them one way to make more money, save time, or improve what they deliver. Free, no strings. - Tier B messages need a one-line reminder of how we know each other Step 5: Flag. List anyone I should NOT text and why (wrong fit, awkward history, works for a competitor, too junior). Give me the Tier A messages first. Don't pad the list: if only 6 people qualify, tell me 6. ``` ### Prompt 3: Call to Prescription ```text Below is the transcript of a free 15-minute AI assessment I did with a business owner. My offer if they say yes: a weekly working session where I sit with them and automate one manual task at a time using Claude, $1,000 a week. Work through this in order: 1. Bottleneck. Name the single biggest manual, repeating task they described. Quote the exact words they used about it. If they described several, pick the one with the highest hours-per-week and note the runners-up in one line each. 2. Current process. Lay out how they do it today, step by step, using only what they said. Where they were vague, mark the step [ASSUMED] rather than filling it in. 3. Cut. Which steps don't need to exist at all? Remove them and say why in one line each. Don't automate a broken process. 4. Fix. Describe one Claude workflow that handles the cleaned-up process. Plain English, no code: what goes in, what comes out, what still needs a human, and how long it takes to set up with them in the room. Estimate hours saved per week from the numbers they gave. If they didn't give numbers, say "you mentioned this eats most of Friday" rather than inventing a figure. 5. Follow-up. Write the message I send them within an hour of the call. Under 200 words. Structure: the bottleneck in their words, the fix in one paragraph, the time back, and a soft close: "happy to build it with you, one session a week, we'd start with this one." No price in the message; that's for the reply. 6. Objections. List the two most likely reasons they'd say no and one sentence I'd use for each. Rules: outcome language, not AI language. No "leverage," no "streamline," no "unlock." Write it the way I'd say it on the phone. Transcript: [PASTE] ``` ## Asset 5: AI Consulting Master Canvas The master canvas contains eight sections, arranged from left to right. ### Section 1: The Maths Funnel: ```text 20 conversations → 12 replies → 5 free 15-minute assessments → 2 clients ``` Revenue model: ```text 2 clients x $1,000 per week = $2,000 per week $2,000 divided by 7 = $285.71 = approximately $286 per day 1 hour per client per week = 2 hours per week ``` Notes: - 10 percent close rate - Not magic, volume - Not a $286 hustle, a 20-conversation hustle ### Section 2: Two Videos, One Model | Corey, Friday | This video, today | |---|---| | The offer | Where he stopped: client one | | How you deliver it | The AI system that finds clients | | What the calls look like | What was learned at $10,000+ per month | | Pricing and retention | The distribution flywheel | | Backend automations | How this becomes a brand | | The detailed mechanics | The big picture | The line that stuck: > You only need to be one chapter ahead. ### Section 3: One Chapter Ahead ```text Most owners tried ChatGPT and stalled → You can build one Claude skill → The frontier, which is irrelevant to this offer ``` The only position you need is the middle one. Notes: - They are not paying for expertise. They are paying for time. - The creator can build most of what his developers build, but pays them anyway. - Land the client, create a real deadline, and learn what is required next. ### Section 4: Three Doors to Client One ```text PHONE Warm contacts, 10-30 owners you already know WALK IN Local, owner-run businesses with no private equity ownership SCREEN Content, the route used by the creator All three lead to: FREE 15-MINUTE ASSESSMENT “One way AI makes you money” → One bottleneck → One fix → Pitch ``` Claude supports the process through: 1. Local business scanner 2. Contacts miner and text writer 3. Call-to-prescription prompt 4. Assessment form 5. Client board Price ladder: ```text $1,000 per month → $1,500 per month → Raise until someone says no → $1,000 per week for a weekly session ``` ### Section 5: What Was Learned at $10,000 per Month | Category | High-ticket model | Starting model | |---|---:|---:| | Price | $10,000+ per month | $1,000 per week | | Leads | Content and inbound | 20 outbound texts | | Proof | Audience and case studies | Free assessment | | Delivery | Partner team | You, weekly | | Sale | A formality | A conversation | The same three rules apply at both prices: - Show, then sell - Sell the outcome - Raise the price until someone says no The primary difference is the source of leads. The flywheel moves the business from outbound leads toward inbound leads. ### Section 6: The Flywheel ```text Client → Result → Testimonial → Post it on Instagram → ManyChat CTA → DM → Inbound lead → Client ``` Labels: - Client to result: Do the work - Result to testimonial: Ask during the call when the workflow works - Testimonial to teaching: The potential exit ramp - Post: Screenshot plus an explanation, with one reel per day - ManyChat CTA: “Comment AI and I’ll send the breakdown” - DM to inbound: Prospects come to you and the price can rise Every loop can create more proof, a higher price, and less outbound work. #### The actual path - Week 1: 20 texts and one client - Weeks 2-4: First skill live - Week 4: Ask, “Can I share this?” - Month 2: One reel per day and ManyChat active - Months 3-4: Clients three to five arrive through inbound leads - Month 6: Raise the price and reduce outbound activity - Month 9 and later: Teach it #### The actual content One client can produce five posts: - **The receipt:** Screenshot plus how it was achieved - **The build:** Screen recording of the skill - **Before and after:** 14 steps reduced to one prompt - **The client:** A 20-second owner video - **The invoice:** Blurred, with the number visible End each one with: > Comment AI and I’ll send you the exact prompt. #### How it goes viral 1. Put a specific number in the first two seconds. “$1,000” beats “money.” “4 hours” beats “time.” 2. Put proof in the frame before speaking. The screenshot is the hook. 3. Make the hook about the outcome, not the tool. “A plumber paid me $1,000” is stronger than “I built a Claude skill.” 4. Cover one idea per reel. The build and invoice should be separate reels. 5. Publish daily. Consistency matters more than one isolated peak. 6. Use a comment CTA on everything. Comments create reach, and DMs create leads. ### Section 7: Own the Pipes The value ladder: ```text Consultant $ → Productised $$ → Teach it $$$ → Own the platform and receive a percentage of what users make ``` Notes: - Rented infrastructure: Notion, Voxer, and forms - Owned infrastructure: Your application, data, and fees - Buy call options on your own community ### Section 8: Why People Fail Common distractions: - Building a website - Designing business cards and a logo - Taking one more course first - Watching the video twice - Doing everything except daily outreach Operating principle: > Ten a day for 30 days beats 100 once a week. Worst case: no money, some rejection, and stronger practical AI skills. Either you make money or learn how to. ## Asset 6: Free AI Assessment Form Copy this into a document, form builder, or note template. Add a blank answer field beneath each question. ### Free AI Assessment **15 minutes. One bottleneck. One fix.** 1. What do you actually do all day? Walk me through yesterday. 2. What’s the one task you’d pay to never do again? 3. Where do balls get dropped when you get busy? 4. How do new leads reach you, and what happens in the first hour? 5. What’s a process you repeat every week that lives in your head, not in a document? 6. Have you tried ChatGPT or Claude? Where did it stall? 7. If I gave you back five hours a week, what would you do with them? 8. Who else on the team touches this task? 9. What tools does the business already run on? Consider email, CRM, invoicing, and spreadsheets. 10. If one thing was fixed by Friday, what would it be? **Required output:** One bottleneck, one Claude skill that fixes it, and the estimated hours saved per week. ### Assessment completion checklist - [ ] Identify one manual, repeating task - [ ] Record the client’s exact words about the task - [ ] Estimate how many hours it consumes - [ ] Identify every person who touches it - [ ] Record the current tools - [ ] Ask to watch the task being performed - [ ] End with: “You’re doing this by hand. It could be a Claude skill.” - [ ] Send the follow-up within one hour ## Asset 7: Client Board Template Create this board in Notion, Trello, or a spreadsheet. Use one card per bottleneck and move each card from left to right. ### Board header ```text [Client name]: AI Working Sessions Weekly session: [day and time] Started: [month year] ``` ### Board columns | Column | Card contents | |---|---| | Bottlenecks found, grey | Task name plus hours per week it costs | | Auditing, yellow | Task name plus what you observed while watching the client perform it | | Optimising, blue | Task name plus the number of steps removed | | Automated, Claude skill, green | Task name plus hours saved per week | ### Worked example #### Bottlenecks found, 4 - Quote follow-ups: 3 hrs/wk - Job photos to invoice: 2 hrs/wk - Google review replies: 1 hr/wk - Supplier price checks: 2 hrs/wk #### Auditing, 1 - Weekly staff roster: Watched Sam do it, 14 steps #### Optimising, 1 - New lead intake: Cut from 9 steps to 5 #### Automated, Claude skill, 3 - Missed-call text-back: Saves 4 hrs/wk - Invoice chaser: Saves 3 hrs/wk - Job summary emails: Saves 2 hrs/wk ### Board footer ```text Total time back so far: 9 hrs/week ``` The green column and the running hours figure demonstrate the continuing value of the engagement. The bottleneck list may grow after the client sees the first successful automation. ## Complete Operating Checklist ### Before outreach - [ ] Build one Claude skill for yourself - [ ] Choose phone, walk-in, or screen outreach - [ ] Run the local scanner or contacts miner - [ ] Prepare the assessment form - [ ] Create a blank client board ### During outreach - [ ] Start with Tier A contacts or the top five local businesses - [ ] Ask only for a free 15-minute assessment - [ ] Focus on money, time, or service quality - [ ] Aim for 20 conversations ### During the assessment - [ ] Ask all ten questions - [ ] Find one repeating manual task - [ ] Attach real hours to the task - [ ] Use the client’s language - [ ] Identify the people and tools involved - [ ] State that the task could become a Claude skill ### After the assessment - [ ] Run Prompt 3 on the transcript or notes - [ ] Send the follow-up within one hour - [ ] Keep price out of the first follow-up - [ ] Discuss price when the owner responds ### During weekly delivery - [ ] Select the highest-priority board card - [ ] Watch the client perform the task - [ ] Document the current process - [ ] Remove unnecessary steps - [ ] Automate only the cleaned process - [ ] Test the skill with the client present - [ ] Record hours saved - [ ] Ask for a testimonial when the workflow works
