WorkflowAudit AI: Guided Diagnostic Discovery for Small Business Automation

So I do something fairly similar as a side gig... Here is my advice: 1) Asking perspective clients to be creative is a real barrier - telling them you will help them "automate their work" is very generic, and while some people have a vision for what they want to do, a lot of people can't really envision how a.i. can help them in their day to day at all, or if they do, they don't know where their gaps are. If you want to land clients, come to them with Ideas "I'll show you how to have A.I help you land clients, stop you from missing calls, generate marketing content, etc" is going to make them ask themselves "are these painpoints? where as "Come to me with your pain point, makes an owner go "well I don't know what is actually wrong, i just know it hurts, and they ignore you". 2) What you can charge for your service largely depends on what type of clients you go after - a construction company or a roofing company doing 10k per client is going to be happy to spend thousands because 1 customer is worth tens of thousands... a barber or a resteraunt is going to be hard pressed to pay you a hundred dollars because their margins are a lot thinner and even if everything you do works out perfectly there just isn't that much value for them... On that note I'd say you are positioned to be both too cheap and too expensive - a construction contractor is going to think you are too cheap and think you probably aren't providing value because tyour competitor is charging $500-1500/day for the same service, and the barber is going to think you are too expensive because they are going to have a hard time translating the 1 day of training into an increase in sales or a bunch of saved time that provides that value back to them.
