The $1,000/hour Solo AI business (Full Course)

Synopsis

Greg interviews Corey Ganim on his $999, 45-minute AI Tools Assessment for small businesses ($500K-$5M revenue). Fulfillment is four phases: Fathom-recorded discovery call, Claude analysis of the transcript, a templatized client report (executive summary, effort/impact matrix, 4-day quick-start, ROI slide), and a review call where roughly half convert to implementation buyers ($3K-$10K LTV). Upsell menu covers process redesign, automation builds, knowledge systems, custom workflows; an AI Concierge retainer ($1,200-$2,000/month for two calls) hits ~$1,000/hour. Seven acquisition methods run on zero capital and zero audience.
