Small businesses want AI but don’t know where to start. You build them the system. Here are 10 services, what to charge, who buys and how to land client one.
Most business owners know they should be using AI. Very few have time to set it up. That gap is the opportunity. You package one setup, sell it at a fixed price, and do it again for the next client.
The One Rule
Pick ONE service. Sell the same thing to 10 clients in a row so your process gets faster every time. Add a second service only after the first has 3 to 5 paying customers.
The prices below are suggested starting points for a productized service, not promises. What you actually earn depends on your niche, your network and how many people you pitch.
The download goes deeper on every service, down to the exact deliverables and the DM pitch I’d send.
01
Claude assistant for HR teams
$8-15K build + $1-3K/mo
An assistant loaded with the handbook and policies that answers the same PTO, benefits and policy questions HR gets every week, and knows when to hand off to a human.
02
Sales email drafting system
$5K setup + $2K/mo
Researches each prospect and drafts outreach and follow-ups in each rep’s own voice, trained on their best past emails. A human still reviews every send.
03
AI training workshops
$3-10K per session
Half-day or full-day hands-on sessions for a company’s team. Training budgets already exist, and this is the easiest one to sell with no niche contacts.
04
Prospect research briefs
$5-8K setup + $1.5-3K/mo
A 1-page brief lands before every sales call with recent company news, decision makers, likely objections and one smart question to ask.
05
Support AI for Shopify stores
$5K setup + $500-1.5K/mo
Drafts answers to a store’s most common customer questions in its brand voice. Refunds, complaints and angry customers always go to a human.
06
First-pass contract review for law firms
$10-20K setup + $2-5K/mo
Flags key terms, deadlines, renewals and unusual clauses against the firm’s own templates. Attorneys keep the final call, and data handling is the whole sale.
07
Onboarding assistant for new hires
$8-15K setup + $1-2K/mo
Answers new hires’ first-month questions from the company’s own docs and tells them who to ask when the docs don’t cover it.
08
Meeting briefs for executives
$8-15K setup + $2-4K/mo per exec
A scheduled brief lands the night before each important meeting so the exec knows who’s in the room and what to ask. Every fact links to a source.
09
Personal AI setup for one executive
$5-10K build + $500-1.5K/mo
A Project trained on one leader’s writing, priorities and recurring tasks, connected to their email, calendar and files. The voice match is everything.
10
Internal knowledge base with AI search
$10-20K setup + $2-5K/mo
Audit and clean up a company’s scattered docs, then set up AI search over them so people stop asking "where do I find X."
01
Days 1 to 30
Pick a narrow niche. Build the service free or discounted for one friendly business in exchange for a testimonial and a case study. Track real before and after numbers and record a 5-minute Loom of it working.
02
Days 30 to 60
Send 20 to 50 personal DMs a week to the buyer, leading with your case study. Land paid client one, deliver, then ask for a referral.
03
Days 60 to 90
Turn it into a named package with a fixed price, timeline and locked deliverables, like "Support AI Sprint: $5K, 2 weeks." Offer every client a monthly retainer for updates.
Paste this into Claude and it builds your offer, call script and DMs around your own background.
Then stack. HR assistant leads to onboarding, then training. Sales emails lead to prospect briefs. One knowledge base audit can open three projects at the same company.
