I'm helping one of my best friends build her new career. I think she's going to crush it. She is positioning herself as an AI Consultant She has 20+ years of experience in her specific niche. She also has been learning AI from me for the past 3 years. So now, she has this skill set of knowing her industry and knows exactly what AI can help them grow. This is such a big need right now. Whenever I work with teams, I'm always looking for the AI superstar that I can appoint as my person when we meet. Having someone to navigate them through this change is critical. Is anyone else here doing this? Here is the full article from the Harvard Business Review explaining the need: https://hbr.org/2026/02/to-thrive-in-the-ai-era-companies-need-agent-managers TLDR: This article is formally defining a role that sits at the intersection of domain expertise and artificial intelligence. Authored by Harvard Business School Professor Suraj Srinivasan and Salesforce COO Vivienne Wei, the article describes an agent manager as someone who defines tasks for AI agents, reviews their outputs, handles exceptions, optimizes workflows, and ensures quality standards over time. Critically, HBR is explicit: this is not a role for data scientists. It is a role for people who understand workflows, relationships, and outcomes in their industry, and can translate strategy into accountable execution.

AI has brought so many new ways to bring people into our funnel, but I'm curious what you are all doing here and what you're seeing success with. Are you running ads? Are you doing webinars? Do you have a lead magnet? If so, what do those look like? I'm trying something new where I'm creating webinars and lead magnets, but they're only available inside Club Jam. So instead of saying "register for this webinar", the call to action is "join us in Club Jam". Also, how many of you have communities? Remember, this is the place where we're peer-to-peer and we're helping each other grow. There's more than enough business in the AI space. No need to gatekeep the things that are working. Here is my latest top of funnel offer https://claude.jamout.ai/

You are not selling time. You are selling years of hard-won expertise that your client would take years to understand, let alone build. When you charge by the hour, you are pricing yourself like a temp worker instead of the specialist you actually are. If you are still at $75/hour because you "don't know what to charge" this is your sign. Current market benchmarks for AI consultants in the US: - Junior/newer: $150-300/hour - Experienced: $300-500/hour - Retainers: $2K-10K/month depending on scope (This is the win in my opinion!) The trap I see constantly: we price like freelancers instead of specialists. A generalist "AI consultant" charges $175/hr. An "AI automation consultant for real estate teams" charges $350/hr. Same work. Different positioning. Niching is not limiting. It is the rate lever. So tell me, where are you currently priced, and does it actually reflect the value you are delivering? Because if the answer is "no," that ends today. 👇
