Non-programmer bills $45K reselling setup of a $99/mo agent product she runs solo

Squad founder tibomaker shares that one of his users, Erika, who runs two businesses alone from Spring Hill, Tennessee with an ops (non-programming) background, has billed $45,000 setting up his $99/month product for other businesses — a service Squad doesn't even offer.
- She built a chief-of-staff agent plus 5 specialists (research, sales, content, compliance, SEO), all interacted with via Telegram
- First task: auditing the CRM bill of a company she took over cut it from $2,500/month to $1,500/month — $12K saved per year with a single prompt
- Her 10pm workflow: paste 40 networking contacts into Telegram from her phone; by the time she's home, 40 personalized follow-ups are done
A striking case of both solo operators running businesses on agent swarms, and users turning a SaaS into their own consulting business.
