Selling AI Systems vs Automations (How we Scaled to 110k+/Mo)
AI Summary
In this video, the speaker shares their insights and experiences from running an AI automation agency for over 17 months and an AI productized systems business for 8 months. They outline the challenges of scaling an AI automation agency, such as high employee counts, low margins (around 40%), and the bespoke nature of client work. Conversely, they discuss the significantly higher margins achievable (around 85%) with productized AI systems due to the ability to sell a pre-built solution multiple times. The video compares the two business models in terms of scalability, profit margins, and time to revenue. The speaker advocates for starting with an AI automation agency to learn about client needs before transitioning to productized systems. They provide a roadmap for building AI systems and emphasize the importance of niche expertise, human involvement in workflows, and marketing strategies to capitalize on growing demand.
