AI Automation Agencies: Product First or Services?
Samehfarrash · reddit · 2026-07-13
The author runs an AI automation agency and is skilled in orchestrating multiple AI agents, automated systems, and RAG systems, but struggles to acquire clients, often facing disinterest from contacted companies. They are seeking advice on more effective closing strategies: whether to pitch a ready-made product demo or package their skills as customizable services/consulting. The author feels that a generic "I can do whatever you want" pitch is too weak and converts worse than a tangible solution with a clear demo. Fundamentally, the post discusses how to position AI automation services, demonstrate value effectively, and choose between "productized services" and "custom consulting."
