Should I narrow my service scope to one or two offerings instead of trying to sell a full AI menu, and how can I pitch that without sounding like I do everything?

When you try to sell everything at once, prospects can’t grasp the value. The offer needs to be highly specific. For example, instead of saying you can build a whole AI suite, say you can build a system that will help a client close four new customers a month, effectively 4× their business. Focus on one lane, become an expert at delivering that concrete result, and scale that offer. Once you have a proven, repeatable service you can later expand to a larger menu.

Is selling broad AI implementation tailored to each business valuable, or should I niche down into specific solutions like marketing and use AI within those?

If you’re making $0‑$20 k per month, keep selling broad AI implementations and use AI to create the perception of a highly customized service. Once you want to go beyond that revenue level, you need to productize and template your offering; that part of the market hasn’t changed even as AI models have advanced.

Nick, I'm considering offering or selling AI to businesses. I want to start to some small businesses before aiming for bigger clients. How would you tackle this given they have different needs and situations or problems? Do you build a setup per business or do we build a set of services that could work like a general AI service? Also, for approach, direct messaging or in person.

Don't overthink the exact method—pick a few approaches and test them. Choose three different ways of reaching people, set a minimum daily outreach for each, and stick with it for a month or two (30‑60 days). See what works, then double down.

What offers could I sell, and can my existing AI systems be used as leverage? Which type of business owners should I target and where are they? Should I sell a service and use AI to fulfill it instead of selling AI directly?

You’ve already built a DM qualification skill that let you charge 40% more on a client deal, plus LinkedIn content automation that generates one to two inbound leads per day. That gives you solid social proof, but you need to frame it in concrete, dollar‑sign metrics. Instead of talking about the system itself, talk about the results it can deliver – for example, 20 to 40 meetings per month and an estimated pipeline value of $25,000. Position yourself as helping small‑to‑medium business owners who aren’t massive enterprise CEOs – think a 30‑something running a three‑person agency who wants to relax a bit. Provide clear value to that audience. As for offers, you can sell virtually anything: the DM qualification skill, LinkedIn and content automation systems, management services, social‑media brand growth, niche video editing, AI‑enabled video editing, or even content edited with tools like Hyperframes or Remotion. Lead sources are typically scraped from LinkedIn Sales Navigator where prospects voluntarily share a lot of information.

What value should I be offering clients, and how can I clearly communicate that value instead of just trying to sell?

The value you deliver always comes down to three pillars: top‑line revenue, bottom‑line profit, and reduction of chaos. Think of it this way: you build a system that could generate $15k a month for a client while they spend 100 % of their time on it. If you can achieve the same $15k with half the time, or even scale it to $150k with full effort, you’re dramatically improving the top line. You also boost the bottom line by cutting unnecessary software subscriptions, reducing payroll, or trimming headcount. Finally, you lower chaos by giving founders organized systems that let their teams run themselves. If you can’t demonstrate any of those three, you shouldn’t be selling. That’s why many AI‑agent businesses fail—they sell tools without provable value.
