Lesson preview

The AI-agency market is full of slide decks. Close rates follow live demos. Maintain a bench of six demos, each rehearsed, each timed, each with a recorded fallback: (1) the 10-minute audit — run on the prospect's domain during the first call; (2) the 60-second skills library tour — shows the Google Ads suite firing on a sandbox; (3) the research flex — live multi-agent market map on their category; (4) the content chain — their last post atomized into a full set via Canva MCP; (5) the citation check — their brand vs competitors across five money-prompts in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Claude; (6) the safety story — permission matrix plus a hook that blocks an unauthorized mutation attempt. The sixth demo closes more deals than all the capability demos combined. Each demo targets a different buyer concern. Together, they cover the full range of what a sophisticated buyer needs to see. 1. The 10-minute audit. A single skill running live during the first call. You take the prospect's domain, run the GEO access-check and extractability score, pull the tech stack, and surface three automation hypotheses — all while they're on the call. This is the wedge. 2. The 60-second skills library tour. The Google Ads suite firing on a sandbox: pull → diagnosis → dry-run push → approval gate → audit log. Sixty seconds explains the entire company model. 3. The research flex. A live multi-agent market map on their category. Show the orchestrator dispatching subagents; show the synthesis. Makes the capability concrete and relevant. 4. The content chain. Their last blog post → atomized post set plus a carousel built via Canva MCP, in their draft voice. Specific to their brand, built in real time. 5. The citation check. Their brand versus competitors across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude for five money-prompts.
