AI is poised to revolutionize every industry and disrupt traditional business plans. Larger companies and tech-savvy startups will adapt quickly, while countless small businesses and contractors may struggle to keep up.

We've seen a similar shift before during the digital transition. Something as fundamental as a website became a necessity, yet it was challenging and costly to implement at the time. Enterprising individuals and numerous small "design studios" capitalized on this opportunity by creating simple template websites with minor customizations, and they thrived. Every small business needed a website!

Later, platforms like WordPress further streamlined the process with templates and user-friendly design tools, though many businesses still required a "WordPress developer" for a truly professional online presence.

So, what's the point? AI Transition Services (aka consultants) will be the next big opportunity.

This B2B solution involves a strategic review, a transition roadmap, implementation services, and staff training to assist small businesses (think real estate agencies, home services, etc.) in adapting to AI-driven changes.

The consultant company would maintain an updated set of tools and templates for each industry they serve. The consultant company could even collaborate with leading industry-specific tool providers to promote their products.

Now, let's discuss scalability. You'd first need to develop a program (tools and templates) for each industry you plan to serve, with the option to expand to additional industries over time.

Idea 1: Franchise model. Offer branding, templates, and training to individuals who want to become "AI Transition Specialists." Charge them a subscription fee to access the latest templates and tools.

Idea 2: Build a training program to educate people on becoming AI Transition Specialists.

Idea 3: Enterprise model. Train a team of consultants and sales agents. Conduct all consultations virtually.

Idea 4: White-label solution. Develop a software platform that enables other businesses to offer AI transition services under their own branding. This approach allows for rapid scaling by leveraging the sales and marketing efforts of other companies while providing them with a ready-made solution.

Idea 5: Marketplace model. Create an online marketplace connecting AI consultants with businesses seeking AI transition services. This platform would handle marketing, payment processing, and consultant vetting while providing tools and templates to help consultants deliver their services efficiently.

Idea 6: Partnership model. Partner with existing business consulting firms, industry associations, or software providers to offer AI transition services as an add-on to their existing offerings. This strategy allows for rapid scaling by tapping into the existing customer base and distribution channels of these partners.

What does everyone think? AI Transition Services is unquestionably a growth area, but how will it work?
