Look, most businesses are hopelessly stuck somewhere between dial-up internet and fax machines. But guess what? That’s great news for you. Why? Because that makes it ridiculously easy to look like an AI wizard even if you barely understand ChatGPT. Here are 8 automations you can sell today to clients who still think ‘cloud’ means bad weather.
1. Appointment Scheduling (aka ‘Stop Playing Calendar Tetris’)
Let AI handle the soul-sucking back-and-forth of setting up meetings. Tools like Calendly + GPT let you build a virtual assistant that not only books appointments but also doesn’t ghost your clients like Dave from sales.
2. Email Response Automations (aka ‘Inbox Zero Without the Existential Crisis’)
Set up a fine-tuned GPT bot that replies to customer emails with actual relevance. Your clients will think it’s magic. It’s not. It’s just 2024.
3. Social Media Content Creation (aka ‘Make Boomers Go Viral’)
Create an AI system that writes and schedules brand-consistent posts across platforms. Sell it to any business still using #YOLO unironically.
4. Lead Qualification Bots (aka ‘Stop Wasting Time on Tire-Kickers’)
Train GPT to talk to website visitors like an overcaffeinated sales rep who never sleeps. It pre-qualifies leads so your client only talks to people with actual money.
5. AI-Powered Proposals and Quotes (aka ‘Look Smart, Work Less’)
Show your clients how to automatically draft tailored proposals. GPT pulls in data, writes convincingly, and doesn’t forget the client’s name like someone’s intern.
6. Customer Support Chatbots (aka ’24/7 Support Without 24/7 Nap Schedule’)
Clients love them because it cuts down on angry emails. Set up a support bot that actually knows things and doesn’t just keep saying ‘Did you try turning it off and on again?’
7. Blog Post Generation (aka ‘Rank on Google Without Crying Every Week’)
Automate weekly blog content with GPT + SEO tools. It keeps their website fresh, relevant, and slightly less boring than their competitor’s.
8. Internal Reports & Summaries (aka ‘Make Corporate Look Productive’)
Use AI to generate internal reports and meeting summaries. Finally, your client’s middle management can pretend they’re doing something useful.
So yeah, stop trying to build the next AI unicorn and start selling the AI equivalent of sliced bread to businesses still eating raw dough. Less hype, more invoices.
