Build an AI agent that finds, qualifies and books prospects for one niche — then sell it as a monthly retainer.
The highest-paid outcome a small business will buy is a booked, qualified appointment. This track takes you through the full arc: pick a niche where leads are worth real money, research prospects, design the offer, build the agent and workflow (research → qualification → personalised outreach → booking → reporting), win your first client and turn it into a recurring retainer. Tools: ChatGPT/Claude, Make or n8n, Apollo/Apify, Calendly/Cal.com, Instantly or Lemlist, Google Sheets or a light CRM. Every prompt uses [PLACEHOLDERS] — fill them in, run in order.

Who it is for
Beginners who can follow a workflow tool and write a clear message; no coding required
What you sell
A done-for-you lead-gen and appointment-setting system delivered as a monthly retainer (setup fee + £500–£2,000/mo typical range)
Who buys it
Owner-operators with high-value clients: mortgage brokers, solicitors, B2B agencies, trades with £2K+ jobs, clinics, recruiters, commercial cleaners
Where you sell it
LinkedIn, warm intros, local business groups, cold email, your own booked-call funnel as proof
Run the agent on your own business first, book 5 calls, screenshot the calendar, then pitch 20 owners in one niche with a paid 30-day pilot
Why now
Cheap AI research + automation tools mean one person can run outbound that used to need a 3-person SDR team; small businesses know they miss leads but cannot hire
Competition / differentiation
Sell booked appointments (an outcome), not 'AI' or 'leads'. One niche, one channel, one clear qualification standard, weekly reporting
Scaling options
Add niches one at a time, productise the setup, add an inbound speed-to-lead responder, hire a part-time VA for QA and reporting

Prompt 01
01 · Niche selector — where a booked call is worth real money
Act as a productised-service strategist. I want to sell an AI lead-generation and appointment-setting service. My background: [SKILLS / INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE]. Hours per week: [HOURS]. Location: [CITY / COUNTRY].
List 10 niches where (a) one new client is worth £[MIN CLIENT VALUE]+, (b) the owner still books sales conversations personally, (c) prospects are findable in public directories, and (d) there is no regulatory ban on outbound contact. Score each 1–10 on deal value, urgency, ease of reaching the decision-maker, competition from existing lead-gen agencies, and how easy it is to define a 'qualified' appointment. Rank them, recommend one, and explain in plain English why the other nine lose. Finish with 5 questions I must answer before committing.

Prompt 02
02 · Prospect research brief for the agent
Act as a B2B research lead. Niche: [NICHE]. Region: [REGION]. Build a prospect research brief I can hand to an AI agent or VA.
Include: (1) the exact data fields to capture per prospect (company, decision-maker, role, website, review count, recent trigger events, current lead-handling method), (2) 8 public sources to find them (directories, LinkedIn filters, Companies House, Google Maps, job boards), (3) the 5 signals that mean 'good fit now', (4) the 5 signals that mean 'skip', (5) a scoring rubric out of 100, and (6) a Google Sheet column layout. Add a note on UK GDPR/PECR basics for B2B outreach (legitimate interest, corporate vs sole-trader email rules) and tell me what to verify with an official source.
