Building A $10k/mo AI Agency For A Stranger In 30 Mins

A one-on-one coaching session guiding a new AI-agency founder through client acquisition, onboarding, pricing and retention.
– Free-to-paid: use three pro bono clients, request referrals up front, then convert to monthly retainers.
– Pricing & closing: anchor value-based fees, be transparent about limited supply, offer referral incentives instead of ‘discounts’.
– Networking & experience: attend events, present a structured onboarding process, run two-week check-ins and proactively follow up referrals.

Quotes:

Referrals are like money. You want it up front.

I don’t like the word discount — take it out.

Client experience is sometimes just as important, if not more, than the outcome.
