What do I do with AI in a coach and course creator business?

Much of the repeating work for a coach is finding new people and answering them. Measure where the time goes first, then automate one repeating job at a time.

What they asked

The questions, and our answers.

What are the first steps to using AI for reaching out to potential clients?Sales and pipeline

Start by measuring: read a year of your own email, read-only, to see where the time goes and which step repeats most. Automate that one step first, and add the next only once the first is running and you trust it. Anything that goes out under your name is drafted by an agent and approved by a person, and a person takes over as soon as someone replies.

How do I keep AI working from my own source material over a long project?Operations and service delivery

Standing instructions saved with a project are read on every turn, which can cut down how often you need to reload your material. You still need to check that the AI is working from the right material.

How does AI help me decide whether a message needs my action or someone else's?Operations and service delivery

AI can make a rough call on whether a message needs your action or someone else's. It can also prepare a short brief with the thread history and past decisions before you look at it, so the background is ready when you do. A person still makes the decision, and nothing goes out under your name until a person approves it.

Measure, then automate.

Everything that matters in a business goes through an inbox at some point. Read a year of it, read-only, and you can see where each person's week goes. Then automate the work that repeats, one job at a time.
