  • Offer free initial builds in exchange for testimonials.
  • Use strategic outreach to target ideal clients.

Introduction: The AI Economy and Opportunity

The AI economy presents a significant opportunity for individuals to build wealth by selling AI agent systems to businesses. These systems, unlike AI models that only provide instructions, execute tasks and drive real-world business outcomes. Businesses are increasingly seeking to integrate AI but often lack the expertise to do so, creating a demand for AI solutions.

Understanding AI Agents and Their Applications

AI agent systems automate various business functions, such as marketing, sales, and administrative tasks. For example, marketing agents can automate email campaigns and customer review requests, while sales agents can gather information and create personalized outbound messages. These systems can replace tasks traditionally performed by agencies or employees, leading to increased efficiency and revenue.

Step 1: Identifying Your Niche

Selecting the right niche is crucial for success in the AI business. It's important to identify your "1% skill sets" and combine them to create a unique and valuable offering. Ideal niches have high-profit margins, are digital and service-based, and align with your skills. Examples include digital services, coaches/consultants, and content creation.

Step 2: Achieving Customer Resonance

To achieve customer resonance, it's essential to understand the specific problems your target customers face. Engage in conversations to identify their biggest challenges and desired outcomes. Focus on delivering value and creating offers that are highly attractive. Frame your services as a strategic partnership that delivers a clear ROI.

Crafting an Irresistible Offer

When speaking with potential clients, emphasize your commitment to delivering a return on investment. Understand their greatest challenges, desired outcomes, and the cost of inaction. Develop a strategic AI operating system that addresses their specific needs. Create an offer that clearly articulates the value you provide and the problem you solve.

Step 3: The Whale Strategy for Client Acquisition

The "whale strategy" involves targeting a small number of ideal clients and investing significant time in personalized outreach. Find their contact information across multiple channels and craft a short, personalized message that offers immediate value. Include your credibility and a sensible ask, such as building a solution for free in exchange for a testimonial.

Step 4: Building AI Operating Systems

Begin with a structured roadmap to learn the foundations of AI and automation. Broaden your skills by learning no-code platforms, AI app builders, databases, and AI models. Combine these elements to build AI operating systems that solve specific business problems. Leverage existing blueprints and systems to accelerate the development process.

0:00 The AI economy is here and the clock has already started ticking down on the last opportunity to get in early. In the near future, AI agents will do almost every job that you can do at a laptop and businesses are changing forever. But I don't want you to get left behind. So, I'm going to show you the five steps that I'm personally following that has built me my 7igure AI automation business and that you can use to build it if you want to get rich starting from absolutely zero using AI. Now, before you can start making money with AI, we first have to look at what it is that you're actually going to be selling. And that is >> AI agents. >> AI agent. >> Think about it like this. All models like chat GPT, Claude, and Gemini can

0:47 tell you what to do. AI agent systems just do the thing. For example, here is an AI agent that can take any long- form video from YouTube and cut that into shorts and even adjust the aspect ratio and post it directly onto Instagram, Tik Tok, or YouTube Shorts. There are hundreds of thousands of businesses out there that are looking to leverage AI and AI agents into their systems, but have no clue on how to actually get started. You can go to websites like natn.com and connect them to AI builders like Bolt and Lovable to create these agent systems that can actually drive real world business outcomes. They can radically improve things like sales and marketing and reduce admin and busy body

1:32 work. Here's a marketing agent that automatically sends an email to a customer prompting them to create a five-star Google review. And it creates dynamic journeys based on their review. If they want to give you five stars, they go down a certain pathway. And if not, we can start to collect further feedback and nurture that customer to maximize the amount of revenue that the business gets from that client. And the deeper you go with this, the more you realize that these AI agent systems can replace many of the functions that we used to pay agencies or coders to do for us. For sales, agents can do all of the work of going to the relevant websites, all the different social media profiles, scraping all of the information, and then creating unique outbound messages that you can use specific to that

2:18 individual and specific to your own business. Meaning, you can contact way more people and get a way higher conversion rate by leveraging these AI systems. Then, as soon as they respond, we can create unique and custom follow-up sequences to make sure that we maximize conversions across the entire journey. Businesses have to spend so much time on boring admin, repetitive, low-lever tasks that AI is perfect to do. That could be, for example, organizing things, checking and scheduling meetings, looking at appointments, central intelligent systems that understand every aspect of the business and just can completely automate away all the boring repetitive tasks that businesses are doing on a day-to-day basis. And there's even an AI agent that will conduct real life

3:04 candidate interviews whilst referencing their CV. >> All right. I noticed on your CV that you have extensive experience in improving customer retention. Could you tell me about a strategy you've successfully used to reduce churn? >> Yeah, sure. So, a couple years ago, AI automation systems and agents are slowly eating away at the business world. and you can be the person that learns that skill and sells it to those businesses for a monthly retainer. But assuming you want to do that, the first question is, well, which niche do I actually start in? Now, here's what they don't tell you, and I wish that somebody told me when I started being an entrepreneur 8 years ago, and that is that your market, your niche is like the difficulty setting of the game of entrepreneurship.

3:50 You can be in printed press and play on nightmare difficulty or you could be in AI automations and play on easy mode. Now, when you're thinking about your niche, the first question to ask yourself is, what are my 1% skill sets? In other words, if I were to lay myself out on the street with a 100 other people, what am I likely to be the best at? So, you may say, "Hey, I'm pretty good at YouTube. I'm in the top 1% for YouTube." These are your 1% skill sets. Brilliant. Write that down. YouTube. Secondly, I'm in the top 1% for AI automation. Great. Brilliant. Write that down. Then maybe design. Maybe you've got experience in real estate. Now, here's the key detail. These skills aren't additive. They actually compound.

4:37 And if you have three one out of 100 skills, that is actually a one in one million skill. So, you can see how valuable they actually become. If you take a CFO, a chief financial officer, they can get paid millions of dollars. They started off in most cases learning accounting. Accounting is not that high leverage. But what they do across the course of their career is simply stack new and additional skills. They'll add a business strategy skill. Cool. They'll add a awareness of this guy and they start to do it. And you can see their income grows exponentially, not in a linear fashion. Your niche should have good amount of money that make healthy margins, easier to find, preferably digitalbased, and preferably service- based. Assuming you have those four things down, plus you add the lens of

5:23 your 1% skill set, we can start thinking about the market, which is really, really important. So, here are three examples of great markets that you could think about to sell these AI agent systems. The first one is digital services. Think like online marketing agencies and they're so great because they do the same repetitive process again and again and again making them perfect for AI automations. Another incredible market is coaches and consultants. I've sold to many of these myself personally. The market is worth $300 billion is expected to grow to $840 billion in just a few short years. And what's incredible about this market is they run on very high margins. In other words, they've got money to pay you for

6:09 the thing. Thirdly, we have content creation. Think about things like YouTube and Instagram and LinkedIn. Now, what's really interesting here is this aligns so perfectly with AI's generative capabilities, but the true magic is ability to niche down into one platform and actually understand how that platform works, what creates the outcome the business wants, which is most likely going to be qualified leads and then building a AI system that supports that. Remember, AI is a tool that you use. It isn't the outcome. You're selling a transformation and we deliver that transformation with many tools. One of them might be AI. There are some markets that desperately need AI, but they have

6:56 no idea how to actually implement it, which is why the education and the consulting is so important in getting started with this. And you'll also notice that I didn't mention brick and mortar businesses. And that's not because you can't help them in some way. It's just that this this the sort of lemon juice is not worth the squeeze. Remember, it's just as difficult to sell to a $1,000 a month client as it is to a $100,000 a month client. And in fact, usually speaking, the bigger the client is, the easier the process actually is because they just get it and the value delivery is way higher. The next step to getting rich in this AI economy is getting customer resonance. We have to

7:42 actually speak to the person who we want to sell to. We need to get data that can look like working for them for free in exchange for a testimonial. And crucially, the data we want to understand in their language what is the biggest problem. I've got 20 problems here, but Jack, if you could solve problem 17 that is worth everything to me. We have to speak to them and we have to find out the thing that they want. Imagine you and I have a food a food cart, right? And we're selling food and we do a little bit of sushi and some hot dogs and some burgers. We have no idea what the business wants because we never actually asked the customer what it is that they want. It would have saved us so much time. So, hey guys, what do you actually want to eat before we start making all of the food that we kind of

8:28 think maybe they want to? We call this your minimal viable product. The philosophy here is that we want to minimize the amount of time and money you spend on anything before we know that it's actually going to work. Saving you money, saving you time. Value does not come from how much effort you put into something. Value is something on the purchases side. And we never prize based on cost. We only ever prize based on value. And the core thing that threads these things together is creating an offer that is so attractive people would feel very silly saying no to it. Now, when you're selling these AI operating systems and you have a conversation, I want you to say something like the following. We only work with businesses for whom we can

9:16 deliver a return on investment for. Because if we can't get you an ROI, there's no point you even really being in this conversation. Agreed? Yes, of course. Brilliant. Now, the first thing you want to start with in that conversation is understanding the greatest constraining factor in that person's business. What is the actual biggest problem? And they may say, "Hey, my biggest problem is actually conver, you know, keeping and retaining my customers. I get them in, I just can't keep them." Incredible. Then what we want to do is understand the desired start state where it finishes and every single touch point that exists between the start point and the end point. They start here, they're happy and in two years time they're still with us. Maybe

10:01 they're buying some of the products. And then we understand all of the touch points with the customer. We understand the CRM and the entire business. And when we get that customer journey, we then build and can consult on a strategic AI operating system that runs for that business and automatically solves that problem. Remember, people will replace automations. They don't replace operating systems that are doing that. And if you've built me a retention system that means that I'm making like 30 $40,000 a month, I'm never going to get rid of that thing. And when you have these conversations, and I really want to double click into this because it's so important, you have to find what we call the COI,

10:47 the cost of inaction. When you say, I just want to make sure there's even an ROI here because it makes sense. You say, "How much is a customer worth to you?" They say, "Jack, it's worth $1,000." Okay, great. How much are we losing by having the system the way things currently are? by not having the retention systems, the upsell systems, and you do the numbers, then you can say, "Well, not having this thing or having this broken system is costing you $35,000 a month." Agreed. Yeah, agreed. A couple this is $8,000 a month. It's a complete no-brainer. You can only get there if you understand the constraining factor, you build out the strategy for the operating system, and you understand the cost of an action. Then it's not about saying yes or no to you. They're

11:32 they're the numbers. It's just those are the actual that we know for sure what the number is. And so it becomes a complete no-brainer for you. And you want to create an offer that's along the lines of I help avatar solve X problem. So what? For example, I help designers get more leads without spending any more time. Remember, you are a strategic partner that delivers a outcome. You're not selling single file automations or tools. that is very low leverage. I want you to be very high leverage. And once you've got this world-class offer locked down, I want you to start calling people in the niche and having conversations with them and offering to work with them and build it for them completely for free and have them say to you, "That

12:18 sounds a freaking great idea before you spend a second building." And the more customers you speak to, the more you will tweak your offer as you go because you are trying to find customer resonance. When I first started this YouTube channel, I had a super chat under a video that I did in AI automations, and it gave me $10. And for me, it wasn't about the $10, but it was about the fact that they found the content so valuable, they felt like they just had to give me money. That is an example of customer resonance and the kind of buying signal that you're looking for when you're delivering the value. Now, we know the niche and the market. Here's how I want you to go and get your first client. And I call this the whale strategy. And the concept is

13:04 simple is that I would rather you reach out to 10 businesses and spend more time per outreach than reach out to 10,000 businesses and just spam them with loweffort AI slop spam. This is I'm going to get a lot of hate for this opinion. I believe that actually generates a way significant better return on investment. So here's exactly what you do. Find your 10 ideal clients. Step number one, go into Google and find them. Step number two, find all of their contact information. Email, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, whatever it is. Also, do this for their second layer. If it's a particularly big business, for example, if you wanted to work with Alex Hoszi, how many messages do you think he

13:50 gets? Probably greater than one, less than infinity, right? But if you'd speak to his head of media, how many do you think he gets? I don't know. I don't even know who that is. But I can guarantee you it's significantly less. We're looking for non congested channels. And again, one person over multiple channels is way better than just one channel, one input across dozens of them. Now, the actual outreach itself should hit six key components. It should be short. It should look like it's been written by a human. you've taken some kind of personal action. Like for example, I was in your store the other day. I caught your podcast with so and so. I was going through your welcome brochure. I went through the journey. Whatever it is, it needs to include value. And crucially,

14:37 this is your lead magnet. It needs to be something that actually works. It shouldn't require any additional effort from the person. I should just be able to implement it and get the value directly. We need to include your credibility. That could be something like I've done the exact same transformation with five other businesses proof and then at the end a sensible ask. In other words, would love to build this for you hands off completely for free in exchange for testimonial. Let me know how that works. And fundamentally that is going to get you into the door and it's only objective is to get you that 15minute conversation and then you take everything from there. And if you're a complete beginner with AI and automations in his commercial, I recommend that you follow a structured road map learning the foundations and

15:23 the basics of AI all the way through to becoming an AI automator and then the ability to commercialize and sell this. So you learn the right things um and not spend your time in the desert learning lots of stuff that's not fundamentally going to help you to hit your goals. And as you broaden your skill, you're going to learn no code platforms that could be nit or make AI app builders like bolt.new or lovable.dev using databases like Google Sheets or Air Table and then the AI itself which is like chatgbt, Gemini and Claude. And when we combine these four things together around a business problem, we build an AI operating system. And building these AI agents and operating systems is the easy part. You've done the outreach. You found the customer, you've got the resonance, you've had the

16:09 conversation, you've got all these beautiful things. And whatever the specific outcome is, there will be an AI operating system or blueprint that will get you like 80% of the way there for that specific client. I've got hundreds in my community that are battle tested that I've had in real life client builds. I've done real life value to people. I've had people come to me so many times and say, "Jack, I sold this for like 15k for whatever it is." So you can check out that link down below in the description if you want to learn how to build and just grab those blueprints and those systems for yourself. And if you want to learn how to take this to another level and how you build out the operating systems, watch this video on
