Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
I have an AI chatbot for FAQs, appointments, and lead qualification. How do I justify a $1k retainer and how much would you charge?
Don't justify price, build value. Calculate the client's current cost, including the opportunity cost of what their employee could be doing instead of admin tasks. Price your service at about 30% of that total value. You can probably charge more, maybe $3k.
Question 2
How long does it take your students to get their first client and what other investments are needed?
On average, about a week and a half. Some do it on their first day. You'll need to invest in tools like Upwork connects, Instantly, mailboxes, and automation platforms like Make.com or n8n.
Question 3
With a $750-$800/month lead gen budget, how many meetings can I get using your methods?
There's no guaranteed number. That's a high budget. If you're consistent and learn fast, you could land 3-4 clients in your first month. Your cost per acquisition will be low.
