Your Ultimate "Foot-in-the-Door" Offer: The AI Training Portal

We often focus on using Askspot for external marketing lead generation, chatbots, etc.

But one of the most powerful (and easiest to sell) solutions you can build is for an internal problem that every single business with more than one employee faces: employee training.

I'm calling it the "AI-Powered Employee Training Portal."

Picture this...

Your potential client is a busy coffee shop owner. A new barista starts on Monday.

For the next two weeks, the owner or their best manager will spend hours answering the same questions over and over:

"How many pumps of vanilla go in a large latte?"
"What's the Wi-Fi password again for customers?"
"How do I process a refund on the register?"
"What's our policy if someone has a nut allergy?"

This repetitive training is a massive time-suck, it's inconsistent, and it takes their most valuable people off the floor.

Now, what if you could walk in and offer to CLONE their best manager's brain and turn it into a 24/7 training assistant that every new hire can access from their own phone? With the Spotlight feature, you can.

This is the ultimate "foot in the door" offer.

1. You grab their existing knowledge. You ask the business owner for their employee handbook, their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), their scripts, their recipes, any document they use for training.

2. You create their private "New Hire Training" Spotlight. This is not for the public; it's a password-protected page just for their team. You feed all those documents into the Sources tab. The AI now knows the "company way" for everything.

3. You set up a simple, clean interface.* Profile Video: A short welcome video from the owner to new hires.* Chat Welcome: "Welcome to the team! I'm your AI training assistant. I've been trained on our entire employee handbook and all of our procedures. Ask me anything to get started."* Channels: Set up quick-access buttons for things like "View Weekly Schedule," "Clock In/Out Portal," or "Request Time Off."

That's it.

You've just built a scalable, perfectly consistent training system.

Now, that new barista, instead of interrupting a coworker during the morning rush, just pulls out their phone and asks the AI:

"How do you make a caramel macchiato?"

"A customer wants a refund. What's the process?"

"What are the steps for closing the store at night?"

The AI gives them the correct, company-approved answer instantly.

Why This is the Perfect "Foot-in-the-Door" Offer:

It Solves a Universal, Painful Problem. Every business owner feels the pain of repetitive training. You're not selling a vague marketing concept; you're selling them back their most valuable asset: their time.

It's an Easy "Yes." This is a low-risk, high-impact offer. You can often sell this as a one-time setup fee or a small monthly retainer. It's a simple, tangible solution that's much easier for a non-marketing-savvy business owner to understand and approve than a complex SEO or ads campaign.

It Builds Immediate Trust and Proves Your Value. When you solve a painful internal problem and save the owner 10 hours a week, you instantly become an indispensable partner. You are no longer just "the marketing person"; you are a process consultant.

It Naturally Leads to More Work. Once you've automated their training, the next conversation is easy: "Now that we've freed up your time, let's talk about using this same AI technology to build a system that brings you more customers..."

Stop just pitching marketing. Start pitching solutions.

Walk into a local business and offer to build them an AI training portal. It’s the best way to get your foot in the door and prove your worth, leading to larger, more strategic projects down the road.
