AI工具评估服务：从0到1000美元/小时的完整玩法

I've got an AI business idea for you, and the best part is you don't need to have an audience, you don't need money to get started, and you don't even need to know how [music] to code. You know how every small business owner right now is super stressed that they're falling behind with AI? Well, my friend Corey Gannon built a whole business around solving exactly that, and today he gives his whole playbook away for free.

You meet a business owner, you spend 30 minutes finding their biggest time drains, and he prescribed AI tools that fix it. It's kind of like a doctor [music] writing a prescription. He charges $999, and it opens the door to way bigger work that he ends up charging thousands of dollars for. The one thing you do need to know is you obviously need [music] to understand AI, and that's the part he walks you through step-by-step.

He shares how the service works, he shares the upsells that get him to a thousand dollars an hour, he shares seven ways to get clients starting from nothing. It's all here, it's under an hour, it's a free course for how to start this business, and even if you don't want to start this particular business, this is going to get your creative juices flowing around how to start [music] a productized service agency with AI.

Enjoy the episode.

What's up, Corey? By the end of the episode, what are people going to get out of this?

So, Greg, we are going to show the people literally the simplest, I think the best startup idea of 2026. This is a way that anybody can make money with AI, and the beauty of this model, and and people are going to think that this is like clickbaity or sensationalist, but I promise you, you don't even need to know how to use AI to make money with this model, because all we're doing is we're prescribing tools that already exist.

We're not building anything, we're not implementing anything. This is something anybody can do, and then towards the end of the episode, I'm going to share kind of the follow-up offer to this that I'm using to make a thousand dollars an hour as like an upsell to this uh this offer here. So, I think this is going to be really accessible for folks.

[snorts]

Okay, and you're not just going to give the idea, right? You're going to give people the steps so they can actually copy this workflow and actually build a similar idea, right?

We're going to give them the full playbook. So, we're going to we're going to explain the entire offer, how it works, how to fulfill it. We're going to give them the exact template that they can literally download and plug and play with their own clients. We're going to show them six things they can upsell after this uh assessment. And then we're going to show them seven ways that they can get clients, none of which require any capital or any audience.

So, we're pretty much going to destroy every single objection that somebody might have when it comes to this business model. So, we're going to make it super simple for everybody.

The last objection that that is going to happen is they're they're going to say, "Corey, like are you Mother Teresa? Why why are you being so nice?" What what would you say to that?

I mean, this is literally So, and uh people say that all the time. They're like, "Oh, if you're actually making money with this model, why would you be giving away all the sauce?" It's like, "Dude, think about how many businesses exist in the United States of America. There are millions, right? Every single one of them, without fail, needs to use AI in some capacity." And think about how many of them are actually using AI at all aside from just prompting ChatGPT.

Maybe 5% of companies are using any AI tool other than ChatGPT. So, when we are giving away the playbook, it's because there is so much opportunity. If everybody watching this podcast or listening to this podcast went and implemented this model, there would still be opportunity left over. That's just how much of a blue ocean it is right now for this type of stuff.

All right, let's dive in.

So, let's dive in. So, let's talk about the model itself, right? What is it that we're selling? So, this is what we call our AI tools assessment. So, in a nutshell, this offer is when we we're meeting with a small business owner. So, our clients are typically small business owners who have anywhere from, you know, two to 20 employees. That's kind of the sweet spot. 500k to 5 million a year in revenue kind of a sweet spot there.

And the offer is, "Hey, we're going to sit down with you for 45 minutes and we're going to do a little kind of like a structured interview." And in that interview, we're going to pull out some bottlenecks and some pain points that you're experiencing in your business. And then based on that conversation, we are then going to prescribe three to seven off-the-shelf AI tools that you can implement immediately to reclaim 5 to 10 hours per week.

And by the way, if we can't find at least 5 hours per week in opportunity where AI can help, then we're going to give you 100% of your money back. So, literally, the only thing you have to lose as a client is 45 minutes of your time, right? That's worst case. Best case, you get at least 5 hours a week back in your week every single week. Uh and the average client saves about seven, right? So, that is the offer in a nutshell.

Any questions so far?

Uh I mean, I don't even need I don't even need that offer and I was like, "Oh, yeah. I I I'll sign me up, you know?" Like, that's how good that was. That was like, you know, I think when you're crafting an offer, you know, they they say craft an irresistible offer, right? So, I think like that that certainly sounds irresistible.

Yeah, and think about it, right? Because every business owner out there that you talk to when it comes to AI, they either they they're too busy in the weeds, right? They're working 40, 50, 60 hours a week, so they don't have time to learn this stuff. They're afraid their competitors are getting ahead of them, so they just bury their head in the sand, and they just never take the time to learn this stuff. And again, the reason this is such an accessible business model to people who are even new to business is because we're just prescribing tools.

We're not like building an automation, we're not having to learn cloud code, we're not coding anything. We're just literally telling them, "Hey, you have a problem with you have this problem? Great. I went and researched an AI tool that fixes that problem. Here is the name of that tool." Like that is literally all we're telling them, right? And we charge $999 for that assessment. And you know, I've sold so far in 2026, I've sold about 15 of these assessments.

And 50% of people actually want you to implement it for them, which leads into the upsell menu that we'll discuss later on in the episode. So, again, $999. Some people might listen to this and be like, "Oh, that's it?" It's like, "Well, that's just the foot in the door, right?" We the lifetime value of an AI assessment client ends up being, you know, three, five, 10K, or more. So, we'll get into that. But let's get into the weeds of like, well, what do like how do we actually how do we fulfill this assessment?

And how do we actually, you know, deliver this to the client? So, it's four different phases. We'll go one phase at a time. Phase one is the discovery call, right? So, this is where we're on either a Zoom call or a Google Meet with the client. And the key here is we just want to make sure that we're recording the call. Usually I just have my Fathom note taker in the call. You can use Otter, you can use Fireflies, whatever.

Just have an AI note taker on the call. And all we're doing on this call, right, is we're just asking questions. We're pulling out problems, we're not pitching anything. So, we're asking them questions like, "Okay, walk me through your day yesterday. What do you tend to do in a typical business day? Wha
