Why a free audit instead of a sales demo
Most “free AI consultations” are demos of someone else’s product. An AI Opportunity Audit is different: we talk about your business — how leads come in, how work gets delivered, where evenings disappear — and I hand you a prioritized list of AI opportunities. You keep that list whether you hire me or not.
Book yours from the St. Louis AI Expert page.
What we cover in 20 minutes
- How customers find you and how you respond today
- The top three time sinks for you or your team
- Tools you already use (email, calendar, QuickBooks, website, CRM)
- Constraints: budget, staff comfort with tech, compliance needs
- Quick ranking of opportunities by impact vs. effort
Come ready with one “worst week” story. That single story usually reveals the highest-ROI workflow.
What you walk away with
A short written list — typically 3–5 opportunities — ordered by payoff. Examples might include “auto-draft inquiry replies,” “estimate first drafts from pricing rules,” or “Monday inbox briefing.” No jargon. No 40-page deck.
You also get a realistic sense of what DIY would take versus hiring local help for setup and training.
Who should book
Owners and operators in the St. Louis metro — St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Metro East — who know AI matters but do not have time to become experts. Service trades, restaurants, professional practices, and nonprofits are especially good fits.
If you already have an IT department running enterprise AI pilots, this audit is probably too small. If you are still collecting browser tabs, it is exactly the right size.
What happens after
If nothing fits, you still have a clearer map. If something does, next steps are usually AI Quick Start (setup + training) or a fuller AI Business System. Optional monthly support — “Your AI Person” — keeps the system current as tools evolve.
Twenty minutes. One conversation. A usable plan. That is the audit.
