Hey everyone, I've been thinking about something recently... There are two main ways that we can sell AI automations: 1. ONE-OFF: Selling a one-off automation for a price tag 2. SETUP + RETAINER: Charging for a setup of an automation and having the client on a retainer Has anyone here built an automation where instead of just selling it as one-off, they have the client on for a retainer? If so, what's the use case and what made you choose the retainer model over one-off? I'm specifically looking for answers where the automation boosts efficiency for a company (does a repetitive task reliably), as opposed to a voice agent or an appointment setter agent (which is more towards the sales side and the pricing model usually is commission or retainer already).

The AI space is moving rapidly, and it can get overwhelming really quickly. If I could tell my younger self from six months ago seven things to accelerate my growth and understanding of AI, it would be these: 1. There's more to AI than ChatGPT There are countless AI tools available for creating and automating specific tasks. You can build custom apps, clone your voice, automate content creation—the list goes on. Don't limit yourself to just ChatGPT. 2. Don't overwhelm yourself This space moves fast, so choose one skill and focus on the fundamentals first. Depth beats breadth when you're starting out. 3. Use AI as a tool to augment your life AI can make typical work processes 10x faster. Identify what you can automate, implement it, and watch your productivity soar. 4. Use AI as a thought partner Have questions about anything? Use AI to probe your thinking and deepen your understanding. You essentially have access to the world's collective knowledge at your fingertips. Important disclaimer: AI isn't always 100% accurate. It can hallucinate answers and provide incorrect information, so always think critically about what it tells you. 5. AI amplifies who you are You can learn a lot about someone based on how they use AI. Do they use it constructively or destructively? At the end of the day, it's an extension of themselves. 6. The space is growing rapidly—and that's okay Since ChatGPT's public release, the AI industry has exploded. New AI companies seem to launch every day (and they do), but you don't need to know about all of them. What you focus on is more important than how many tools you're familiar with. 7. Where do you have the most leverage? The biggest advantage you can have in this space is focus. Choose one thing to master and get really good at it. Even if you're just one step ahead of most people, you can teach and sell solutions to others. Hope this helps! I'll continue sharing insights to help the younger "me" out there. And let me know in the comments, did I miss anything?
