The 3 Best AI Automation Agency Niches in 2025
1493 segments
hi everyone I scaled my AI automation
business to $72,000 a month and in this
video I want to talk about the three
best AI automation agency niches in 2025
I'm not just going to give you the niche
I'm going to give you problems to solve
solutions that you can sell them then
I'm even going to talk about how exactly
I would scrape and then reach out to
these people today if that sounds like
something you guys want to learn let's
get in the
video okay I'm going to cover these
three niches in a second just before I
do I want to talk about what makes a
niche great to begin with the reason why
I have to do this is because our
industry moves super quickly it's not
enough just for me to give you these
three niches on a silver platter which I
will but I don't just want to do that I
also want to give you guys the skills
you need to be able to pick any niche in
the future even if the underlying
fundamentals of this technology change
which they surely will by the way
happens every few months so what makes a
great Niche uh three rules of thumb
first digital so not brick and mortar
second mid ticket plus that means over a
th000 bucks per deal and third as few
regulations as possible no Hippa stay
away from Healthcare stay away from
legal to give you guys some more context
like you can think of niches in a couple
of different ways they can either be
brick and mortar that is a physical
business out there in a real world with
a storefront or they can be digital
which is something like what I'm doing
something like what a lot of digital
agencies do uh the issue that I find is
many automation agencies just because
they're new and these businesses are
accessible they will start with brick
and mortar ones and then they'll find it
very difficult to scale and make money
my recommendation is you go digital
wherever possible now there's some
reasons why the first is it's very hard
to Source break-in mortar leads if we're
being practical digital leads are very
easy uh consider how difficult it would
be to find a list of Knoxville HVAC
companies versus just creative agencies
across the United States like one is
specific to Knoxville they probably only
a few HVAC companies that operate in
that jurisdiction uh whereas the other
is like basically I mean it's worldwide
but in our hypothetical across the
United States there could be tens of
thousands hundreds of thousands so you
can in practice get 10,000 plus leads in
just a few days for a few hundred maybe
even less money that if you guys have
watched my Elite scraping tutorials the
second reason is that most
brick-and-mortar clients just do not
understand the value of automation
anywhere near as much as digital ones
because the work that they do on a daily
basis just does not involve these sorts
of Technologies think about Lucy who
owns a flower shop down the street is
she really going to understand the value
of like a lead generation system is she
even going to be able to employ a lead
generation system or maybe a CRM or or
project manager or proposal generator
and that sort of stuff probably not um I
don't mean to knock brick and morar
business owners I know a lot and they do
fantastic some of them do much much
better than I do financially but they
just tend not to deal with this sort of
stuff on a daily basis whereas digital
business owners do they understand crm's
project managers they understand uh
systems at least from a bird's ey view
most of them just because that's sort of
what they have to do on a daily basis so
when a client understands the value of
your service you can obviously sell them
for a lot more money than if they don't
the third big thing is that brick and
morar budgets in my experience are often
a lot smaller the reason why is because
reach is sort of limited and you have to
contend with an additional line item
which is rent right for the most part if
you run a digital business you do not
need to pay for rent and rent a lot of
the time can be a fair amount of money
it can be sub a substantial portion of
like an average brick-and border
business's um total you know operating
budget so if you think about Lucy at
that flower shop she might make you know
$155,000 a month on like a good month
her rent might be $2 or $3,000 of that
more so if you're in like one of these
ritzy ass cities like NYC or something
probably much more so the last thing is
that implementing stuff in real life is
a lot tougher in general than
implementing stuff solely through um
some digital interface like we are doing
as automation Specialists so you know a
lot of the time if you work with these
brick andw businesses if you want to
economize or optimize their processes
you need to do things in the physical
world too like if somebody comes to your
the cashier register or whatever um you
give them an iPad or something to have
them put their information in instead or
maybe they can opt into some some
special thing for instance um that sort
of stuff takes a lot longer to get a
feedback loop because you have to tell
the owner hey you know put that iPad on
your front desk we're going to open up
to this link I want you to do X Y and Z
thing and then you actually have to test
it out physically in reality and there
are a number of things that can go wrong
with that so just to be totally
pragmatic here and it's not that any of
these problems in you know individually
are like super massive and disqualifiers
but just to be pragmatic if you put all
them together the bottom line is the
internet is where the money changes
hands it's a lot easier to work on the
Internet it's where you should be
working too the second thing is mid
ticket plus so that just means that
great niches are ones where a single
customer Nets the company $1,000 or more
sorry if we jumping ahead you can of
course go lower than that but you will
lose one of your primary points of
Leverage the reason for this is because
when you work with mid ticket plus
businesses you have a couple forms of
Leverage the first is you have sales
leverage that just means that if you can
add a single customer to a mid tick plus
business whether it's through some lead
generation whether it's some through
through some reactivation campaign the
simplest systems ever if you can get
them a single additional customer you
will often pay for your own expense for
months or years so it's very easy for
you to justify the money that you are
charging a mid- tick plus business the
second form of Leverage is people
leverage mid tick businesses because
they tend to be more expensive tend to
involve more people in the actual
Service delivery or fulfillment and when
you have a lot of people you have a lot
of opportunity to automate stuff so um
you don't just get sales leverage up
here you also get people leverage and
then I just threw this in um this is
sort of anecdotal but in my experience
when I work mid ticket I work with
richer people I work with people that
are a little bit more they think about
bigger things right more bigger picture
thinkers people that tend to have a
little bit more money um so there's a
lot more referral opportunity for you
it's a lot easier for you to consolidate
your reputation as an automation
engineer and then a lot of the time
these relationships are just better
they're just more professional right
people just tend to reward you more and
appreciate the professionalism that you
put in so I always go with mid ticket
plus now um it's basically my rule of
thumb the Third third and the last big
rule is uh fewer regulations so I don't
know how much of this stuff you guys
have done at this point that you're
watching my video some of you guys might
be at the you know starting line of your
business 01 to $3,000 other guys might
be at 20 3040 $50,000 whatever but one
thing that I could say confidently is if
you have a choice to work in two
potential universes one with a ton of
Regulation and then one with very little
regulation you're basically always going
to want to favor the one with little
regulation because regulations just make
everything harder great niches are in
industries that have either very few
regulations or they have regulations
that in practice nobody gives a [ __ ]
about so I'll give you an example a
healthcare especially United States wide
wide can really suck because you have to
use hippo specific automation platforms
you you have a bunch of like data
control policies you have to anonymize
customer data you have to like you can't
just use their first names or last names
you can't just use like an API call to a
large language model um you have to like
host your own you know you have to use
all these Alternatives that are 10 times
the money basically the point that I'm
making is all of this additional work is
going to add at minimum 5 to 10 times
the work and you will probably not get
paid 5 to 10 times the amount for the
work so just right off the cuff working
in a highly regulated industry that
slows you down and adds a lot of
friction uh tends to just make all of
this way harder now the caveat argument
there that a lot of people give to me is
well Nick if I work in this industry
that has a lot more regulation a lot
more friction to get into then naturally
the supply of the market will be a lot
lower as well meaning it'll be easier
for me to come in there'll be fewer
other competitors and so on and so forth
and I understand that but um I think it
makes much more sense especially if
you're at the earlier side of your
journey to compete in high volume
Industries Industries not necessarily
where there's little Supply but actually
more Supply um because you know you're
not only making money but you're also
taking on uh like a lot of
self-education when you work with a
higher volume of leads for instance you
tend to learn and and pick up the
fundamentals of running a digital
service businesses specifically in this
case an a automation business a lot
faster Alex rosi talks a lot about like
this idea of debt like technical debt
education debt um client management
skills debt and I think that this is
sort of in the same vein so even if the
supply is less um yeah it adds a minimum
five to 10 times the the implementation
cost and you're not going to get paid
five to 10 times the
amount and then yeah you know I just
wanted to say that new emerging or
non-local markets are better um there
are technically regulations around
basically everything these days but in
my experience only Healthcare and legal
are enforc and practice now just to
cover everything I'm not I'm not a
lawyer and this is not legal advice this
is just my own experience working across
these Industries okay are you guys ready
to actually get into these three niches
I'm not only going to cover the niche
itself I'm going to cover how you can go
out and scrape leads in that Niche how
you can pitch them primarily using cold
Outreach and then ultimately the exact
systems that you can build and sell for
them let's get started all right the
first Niche is hi touch software as a
service so if you guys aren't familiar
with software as a service it is a
business model where you will sign up to
some sort of software on a subscription
basis they will provide a service to you
like Adobe Photo Photoshop Premier Pro
instantly smart lead clickup monday.com
Panda do whatever they'll provide some
service to you on a monthly basis and as
a result you'll you'll pay them some
sort of recurring subscription now one
thing that some people might not know is
that SAS is actually split into uh two
I'm just going to go with two types for
now in reality um you know depends on
who you're talking to but there's low
touch SAS and then there's hi touch SAS
low touch SAS is just most of the
software platforms you're probably
familiar with it's stuff like pandadoc
it's stuff like uh monday.com stuff like
Trello the way that low touch works is
it's low touch so there are very few
customer touch points with a real person
in that business typically the vast
majority of it is automated you will
enter your email address you'll enter
your password you'll create an account
you'll pay a little bit of money and
then voila you have access to the
software platform sounds pretty sweet
right but there's another variant to
that and that's called a hight touch SAS
hi touch SAS just means uh it's it's
still a software as a service model but
it tends to be very expensive it tends
to solve just one particular need and
usually very very well and extensively
tends to be marketed more towards
Enterprise people and it's not automated
instead of it being an completely
automated sign up process usually the
way that high touch SAS works is you
have to sign up for a demo you'll be
assigned a an account executive or an
account rep and then these people will
both demo the service sell you get you
signed up and then help you implement
the thing into your business so these
sorts of businesses because they require
sales demos they're high cost like a
managed service and they have high
customer lifetime value tend to print
money um when you when you work with
them and when you manage to get a high
touch SAS business as a client so I have
over 1400 people across my automation
communities uh maker school and make
money with make and everybody that's
doing High touch SAS right now or at
least everybody that's sending a
sufficiently high volume of outbound
Outreach to high touch SAS T tends to be
crushing it why is it good let's just
cover it um one by one the first is it's
mid ticket plus um are often several
hundred or thousand per month think
about like a $500 manag subscription if
you manage to help them get a client
that stays on for one year that's
$66,000 in their pocket that's excluding
upsells which some of these businesses
literally like live and breathe off of
many customer touch points um so that
means that you can automate a lot of
these things kind of like before you
know the more people in a business
typically the more room for automation
this typically solves a very strong need
especially for Enterprise companies and
then many of these businesses have
annual revenues of 78 figures the cool
thing about this is um they can also
into funding situations many of these
high touch businesses because they're
geared in Enterprise and they solve
these super specific needs a lot of them
to do with like you know Ai and
Technology nowadays uh you know they can
raise big funding rounds and they have a
lot of money to spend so not only do you
work with people that have more money
they also have a lot of money to spend
and not all that money is their money
which is pretty sweet so it's not enough
just for me to talk about a niche um
although you know after this I'll show
you how to sell them and I'll show you
the products and services to pitch um
let me actually show you what these
businesses look like here's one called
sen bird sbird basically is like a some
Enterprise level communication and chat
API service do I know what the hell any
of this stuff means I'll be honest not
really um but that's because they're not
marketing to me they're marketing to a
very specific customer Avatar which they
sell for a lot of money if we go to
their pricing page here you see that
even their lowest paid plan is 400 bucks
a month and that's s like their lowest
monthly active user plan if you scale it
up to 10K it's 500 bucks a month for
this thing what if the average customer
stays on for 18 months right 18 * 500 is
$99,000 um customer lifetime value if
you charge somebody like 3,000 bucks a
month if you get them a single customer
and maybe you get them five a month or
something but if you get them a single
customer you pay for yourself for three
months which is fantastic so um you know
that's sbird another one here is called
check what you'll find with a lot of
these sorts of businesses when you go
searching and and doing the lead gen is
not all of them will actually have
pricing pages in fact the majority of
them won't the reason why is because
they want you to have to get in touch
with a person in order to um actually
move forward with the process so this is
me just doing a bunch of silly BS
because I just want to you know submit
my form and have them contact me um but
basically what's going to happen when I
click the submit button is they're going
to assign me to a demo rep most likely I
haven't actually filled out the specific
page but most likely they're going to
assign me to some sort of demo rep
they're going to book me in on a
calendar and then they're going to try
and sell me because you know it's a
higher ticket I'm higher touch service a
last example here and I know I talked
about not working in the healthcare
industry but I figured you know I just
wanted to be as comprehensive as
possible um a lot of these Enterprise
companies do work in regulated
Industries like healthcare IMO health is
one of them same sort of vibe right this
website has worked with tons of these
massive businesses before and if you
want to connect with them if you want to
work with them you need to schedule a
demo as you can see like it's fairly
in-depth somebody has like contact you
walk you through your needs um and you
know because the service is so expensive
and because it solves such a valuable
service usually um you know companies
like this can get away with it okay
enough talking about you know what this
company uh what this industry or niches
and why it's so valuable let's actually
get into how to sell so if I were uh you
know tackling this right now and I had
no resources no knowledge of this no
expertise or or anything like that this
is exactly what I would do and I mean
I'm raising a hypothetical as if I did
not know any of this stuff but I do and
this is what I'm actually doing so the
first thing that I do and you kind of
have a couple of choices here you can
either get a bunch of Apollo leads for
SAS companies you can just go on
apollo.io you can log in or make an
account I guess
and the way that Apollo works is you
basically have the ability to create
giant lists of companies so go to
company or I don't know maybe I'll go to
Industry and keywords and then you you
can pick an industry here so maybe you
want to work specifically looking for I
don't know
banking um
Insurance uh Financial Services business
businesses and that sort of stuff okay
what you do is you go in you apply
whatever filters you want and I'm not
going to walk you through the specific
filters because obviously this is
entirely up to you you get lists of
companies from Apollo and then you
enrich these using the tools that I'm
going to talk about in a second um you
you search specifically for SAS for
companies that are above maybe I don't
know 11 to 50 people so they typically
tend to work more Enterprise uh you use
the term managed when you're doing the
searches you use a variety of terms that
like hone in on businesses like this if
you're not sure what those are just
check out alternatives to these three
services and then build like a keyword
list based off of that so that's one
approach you could do another approach
you could do is you could literally look
on indeed or LinkedIn jobs for
um you know literally you could just
look for the term uh I guess I got a
sign in here so give me one
sec you could look for uh the term
software or
sales so I could go for sales and I'm
not going to do Calgary which is where
I'm at but I'll do
sales and then I'm going to do a
slightly higher salary like
100,000 and then there are some
additional filters that I could do here
I could look for like midlevel to
executive level sales um I could look
for full-time roles I could look for
locations industry software development
Insurance like I mentioned financial
services this sort of stuff then I could
also throw in a couple of other keywords
um and you know these keywords are
constantly changing they're kind of up
to you but maybe you type in like SAS
sales or something what you'll see is
you'll see a lists of businesses now
because I'm in Canada and uh you know
LinkedIn likes to show you results that
are in the country that you are in
obviously because a lot of them have
regulatory requirements and stuff like
that I'm seeing Canadian businesses if
you're here if you're in the United
States somewhere else you're going to
see different ones but these are the
sorts of businesses that ultimately you
can apply to and the value in doing this
approach is when you get a list of these
you can scrape them using a tool like
appify I mean if you scrape uh you know
lists using appify so if I just type in
LinkedIn jobs over here if you scrape
that list using appify what you end up
getting is you end up getting the
company name the company URL giant
description of the business the location
hell you get stuff like salaries um you
know experience levels required sectors
okay all you do is you just pump in the
URL in here and then with all this stuff
all you need to do and I'm saying all
you need to do a lot but literally all
you need to do is you just get the
decision maker emails using a service
like any mail finder if you've never
used any mail finder before it's super
simple you just
go and type in the first and last name
of the person and then um you know the
term uh sorry the the website domain
specifically
and what you'll do is you'll pump this
in and it'll literally return you a
verified email maybe about 30% of the
time and an unverified email the other
70% of the time of a person at that
company you can also use uh something
called a decision maker search over here
where you look specifically for a person
at one of these businesses so if I just
go back here I go to sendbird and I grab
that
website and then I'm looking for CEO
owner president founder
whatever if I search we can actually go
and we can find the email address of one
of the people that you might be able to
contact at that business in this case
the co-founder and
CEO so uh I would literally do this okay
I'd get a giant list of these people and
then all I would do is I'd send them an
email that says hi noticed you were
hiring for account Executives I do
really cool thing that solves the need
that you are looking for right now for
an account executive but I do it using
systems I just delivered amazing result
for somebody else and I believe I can
give you similar results I believe in
this so strongly I will guarantee X doll
in the next 60 days X leads in the next
60 days X doll saved in the next 60 days
or you're not going to pay a cent is
this worth a chat you send uh I don't
know a th000 2,000 3,000 of these every
week it's best if you personalize these
using artificial intelligence and if you
don't make the email seem templated
because people like being talked to as
if it's like a real person to a real
person they don't want to know that
they're in a sequence
if you do something like this then
you'll be able to sell the system I'm
about to show you and I think I said
previous here but I meant to say um
subsequent for at least $1,500 a pop and
then you'll be able to take that and
then and then segue that into some sort
of monthly recurring service where you
could have it for three four 5 10
$15,000 a month depending on the company
and depending on the needs that you
fulfill now once you have that what
problems and systems you actually sell
well here are two really simple ones
that you can throw right off the bat the
first is a lead generation personalized
cold email system what I've found is a
lot of these high touch SAS businesses
especially ones that are founded more of
more than a couple years ago they rely
on super bloated sales teams and
outdated Outreach products that are
usually a byproduct them interfacing
with Enterprise companies so much they
tend to just have like shittier software
because they're bigger more bloated uh
they have more red tape and they move a
lot slower so you can deliver an insane
amount of value just getting one of
these businesses sales
teams getting them you know a 100
mailboxes signing them up to instantly
or smart lead or something doing some
targeted lead scraping similar to what
we just did in order to get this deal
okay apiz lead scrapers at the time of
this recording $1.20 per a th000 leads
crazy and then sending them Mass
sequences that are personalized and
customized that you know solve the
problems that the uh target market or
target audience is looking for you could
sell them the system you could even go
as far as building in some sort of AI
autoresponder to manage this scale set
meetings with um you know closers and
demo people on their team then
automatically forward those meetings to
them if you build this for the right hi
touch SAS company you can build way more
than $1,500 if you were to do this for
something like senir you would be able
to prove some sort of results in them
you probably get away with like $10,000
or more so a lot of potential there the
second system is a lot of these
businesses naturally have bloated sales
processes you could very easily build a
personalized proposal system and or CRM
for them um it's basically a cakewalk
once you build a template uh the very
first time you can just copy and paste
this over and over and over again
regardless of the business so long as
it's in a similar vertical so so what
this means if you're unfamiliar is
agencies and high touch sasp assises
both have very similar sales flows
typically you need to book a demo or a
discovery call now High touch SAS
businesses will show off the the the
service in the uh disc in the demo call
that's why it's called a demo they're
demoing the service agencies will
usually do what's called a discovery
call where they just tend to get to know
more about you but usually what happens
after this call is you'll either move
into a closing call and then after that
you'll send some sort of proposal or
will just immediately send a proposal
for services uh the lad is what I like
to do but that is most of these company
sales flows so what you can do to make a
long story short is you could build a
system that just makes this way faster
instead of you having as a salesperson
to write up some big long proposal draft
with a bunch of details and stuff like
that what you can do and what I've
implemented dozens of companies now is
you can just give them a simple form and
you can say hey before you end the sales
call I just want you to fill out this
form this form asks for a bunch of
simple information like their name their
email address uh their company and then
maybe some some quick bullet points on
the problem they're facing and the
solution that they want you type that in
this might take you less than 30 seconds
to a minute during or at the end of the
call you press enter and then it goes
into a system and automatically
generates a proposal I've built this
system out and showed this on my channel
many times anybody here that has watched
a couple of my videos will know um so
feel free to check out my channel just
type in like proposal generate and
you'll find a couple and I've also done
this with the lead generation to
personaliz cold email system so both of
these systems are literally you know you
can go to my gumro download the
blueprints for for free uh and then get
going and and you know start selling
these to make a ton of money so that's
Niche number one let's cover Niche
number two now I've talked about Niche
number two uh back in in 2024's video
where I covered the three best AI
automation agency niches um but luckily
for us um this Niche has not changed
this Niche is still printing and in fact
I go as far as to say it's actually
printing even more money if you look at
the success rates across my both
communities um than it was previously I
don't know if this is just because more
recruitment companies are now problem
aware and solution aware they understand
that automation is a very simple and
easy way to make them tons of money uh
or if we're just getting better at
selling to them but yeah people are
really loving recruitment right now and
recruitment is Ling them back so in case
you don't know how recruitment works if
I run a recruitment company basically
what I'm doing is I'm finding candidates
and then I'm placing those candidates in
somebody else's business so let's say my
client is a roofing business this is uh
not realistic but let's say they're
roofing business and they're looking for
a very specific set of roofing skills
for their next hire they would reach out
to me and say Nick I know you run a
recruitment company can you recruit a
highquality roofer for me I say of
course so and I go out I have my systems
and my job posts and I list a bunch of
things looking for uh roofers I find 10
roofers I interview each of them and
then I get like three that are amazing
what I do then is I present these
candidates to the roofing company and I
say which one do you want this guy wants
80,000 this other guy wants 85 and and
this guy wants 75 they say I want the 75
one then all you do to get paid as a
recruitment company is you typically
take a percentage of the first year
salary that's like the simplest way to
do it there are other ways obviously
some flat rates some percentage of
multiple year salaries but typically in
my experience a simplest way is a
percent of the first year salary um this
sort of business model can do really
really well okay uh typically
recruitment companies have to handle a
high volume of both applications and
candidates so anytime a business handles
a high volume of something small
percentage improvements can really big
results if you know the average
recruitment agency um in order to
fulfill their work for a client handles
300 applicants and if you can build a
system that just makes them 10% better
at handling these apps or 10% faster
that's worth a ton of money to the
recruitment business and they're happily
pay you money in return to solve that
problem another thing is in that example
I mentioned before with $75,000 for
roofer right let's say you take 20% of
the first year salary hypothetically and
again this isn't realistic because most
of the time it's not like roering
Roofing is not something that people
typically go to recruitment companies
for but anyway um 75,000 time 20% is
15,000 so as a recruitment agency you
will make $115,000 just making that
placement as you can imagine this is
pretty high lifetime customer value
especially if the customer comes back to
you right if a single client requests
one placement a year and they tend to
stay with you for three years 15,000
time 3 is $45,000 that is a massive
customer lifetime value and if you get
them a single client they're going to
like you a lot the last is um you you
know recruitment tends to be digital
first there's so many pain points
regarding sourcing screening and
communicating with candidates no rent no
brick-and-mortar business you can
systemize a lot of this digitally and
then use it to acquire clients for them
too let me give you some examples before
I dive into what to do this is
recruitment Partners Incorporated I
believe these guys maybe in Calgary
that's probably why I picked them I just
like Googled recruitment partners and
they happen to like you know be the
first thing that popped up so you can
see they're um pitching both candidates
and employers candidates being people
that are looking for jobs employers that
are looking for candidates to fill their
jobs
and yeah I'm not going to harp on this
anymore I think most of you guys
probably understand what recruitment
looks like this is an executive
recruiting firm executive recruiting
just means um placing CET and B people
uh and these tend to be obviously
substantially more money upon a
placement meaning these companies have a
higher customer lifetime value for the
clients that do get in their Network
it's not uncommon for you to make over
$100,000 on a single client and let's
actually get into how they sell these
puppies so if you wanted to sell a
recruitment agency today and what I'm
seeing people do across my to automation
communities um over 1,400 people in
total maybe like 50ish people or so
right now are targeting recruitment
there are looking on indeed and Linkedin
jobs for recruiter roles they're
scraping recruiter roles using something
like appify they're getting decision
maker emails using something like any
mail finder and then they're sending an
email very similar to the last email
offering a guarantee um and and
essentially saying hey noticed you were
hiring for this job I do really cool
thing helping recruitment businesses
make this much money and I just
delivered $95,000 for another
recruitment company I can give you
extraordinarily similar results maybe
even better and I want to guarantee my
service since I know you don't know me
and I want you to feel comfortable and
confident about this is this worth a
chat same thing as before if you run a a
cold email campaign here if you
personalize them using AI you'll get
much better results and if you don't if
you run this at scale um you can make a
ton of money I had somebody in my
community go from I believe making $ Z
to over $80,000 in just a few months
employing this exact approach that I'm
telling you the systems themselves that
you could sell uh they're three the
first is a candidate placement system so
you know I talked about candidate
placement earlier being the main thing
that recruitment companies do right uh
they often juggle hundreds of applicants
per position and then their job as a
recruitment agency is filtering those
applicants down into the highest quality
subset before presenting them to the
client well you can basically solve all
of this with some automated hiring
pipeline I've built this out a couple of
times on my channel already basically
what you do is you build out an end to-
end pipeline in a tool like clickup
Monday or a similar platform and all you
do is you stage it you say I don't know
first pass um
interview uh second pass uh interview
and then maybe like considering for for
um presenting for presentation or
something maybe have four or five of
these stages what you do is when a new
candidate comes in they come into the
CRM with the status first pass and then
you as a recruitment person or a
contractor you go through this top to
bottom you just verify which ones Mak it
into this into the interview stage when
you move them or click their stage and
change it to interview basically you
will automatically send them an email
with like a link to a calendar booking
or something that like gets them to the
next stage of the process after that
stage they're now an interview the
people that pass you just move them to
the next one second pass then they
automatically get a bunch of assets
resources questions that sort of stuff
you can do this in whatever freaking way
you want I'm just throwing out random
ideas here that may or may not actually
be super great I don't know if I'd
phrase it as first pass interview second
pass interview I'd probably go like
first pass um trial um interview second
interview or something to be like super
secure uh but the point I'm making is
you could just automate the hell out of
what is traditionally like a very
involved manual process and now the
recruitment agency staff is just a QA
person this can print money for
recruitment companies it can massively
reduce margins which tend to be pretty
high because it's such a people focused
industry and it just makes things a lot
more organized it also allows you to
upsell a system which I'll talk about in
a second the second thing you'd sell is
a lead generation a personalized cold
email system as you could see this isn't
the first time I'm bringing this up and
the reason why is because lead
generation systems are by far the number
one most in demand thing right now in
all of these niches I'm going to be
showing you except for maybe the next
one but there are other lead generation
approaches you could use and the reason
why is because lead generation is just
the bottleneck that most businesses have
right you could solve the tightest
bottleneck um typically you're worth a
lot of money so anyway recruitment
companies struggle with consistently
finding new clients or job openings
older firms especially rely on these
outdated methods like expensive job
board subscriptions which can charge
them hundreds or thousands of dollars a
month month a total waste of time so
what you can do is you can solve this
with a cold email Leen system in a
nutshell and I've documented this
multiple times on my channel but you buy
10 domains you link 30 mailboxes to
Smart leader instantly you warm them up
you Source 4,000 leads and by the end of
month one you will have reached out to
all 4,000 of these people with a
response rate of around 4% assuming that
you use some of my copyrighting tools um
you'll have generated about 160 replies
many of which will have turned into
justifiable sales opportunities
hopefully you know at least a at least a
third Maybe quarter of these um will
will result in positive replies and then
of that maybe like 50 60 70% will
convert to meetings that's still a lot
of meetings and you can um you know
obviously provide a lot of value to
recruitment company with a customer
lifetime value of 5,000 10,000 15,000
$220,000 okay the last system I want to
cover is an automated dashboard system
so the way that recruitment agencies
work is you know as I mentioned they
typically deal with very high volumes of
people and because of that they have
many opportunities to collect data the
issue is the vast majority of
recruitment companies do not collect
data or at least if they do their data
collection sucks but here's the really
cool thing you could use this as an
upsell to the system that I talked about
earlier because if you think about it if
you have an automated hiring pipeline
where in order to trigger something to
happen automatically you need to change
a status well you can also trigger them
being added as a new row in a Google
sheet or something or some sort of like
logging um and then the second that you
start logging people well now you can
connect this to data visualization
software for the specific stack I'm
going to tell you guys about is you go
to Google Sheets you make some new you
know like recruitment
database you have like the first name
the last name the email address the
stage and a bunch of other information
about the candidate right when you
trigger a status change inside of the
CRM that you built for them then all you
do is you add a new uh row to this uh uh
database okay and then you just keep on
going and then what you do is you
connect this is something like looker
Studio looker studio is just like data
visualization dashboard software that
just connects to the data source that
you just created a moment ago Google
Sheets and allows you to visualize the
number of people at different stages so
now you know okay I had 108 people make
it into the first pass then 75 people
make it into the interview then 33
people make it to the second pass then
15 people make it into the interview
then four people um were presented for
placement the second that you give a
recruitment company data like this
that's that granular one they're going
to love you and two they're going to be
able to make data driven decisions that
make their company a lot better so as
you can see lots of opportunities here
on the recruitment problems and systems
and uh obviously if you follow a similar
approach to Niche one's approach you can
make a ton of money selling these the
third big Niche and the one that I'm
personally now a part of is coaches and
consultants and this industry is blowing
the hell up right now it's one of the
fastest growing in my opinion if you're
unfamiliar with what coaching and
Consulting is if you think about like
agencies agencies typically provide the
service which is the building or the
marketing or the paperclick ads or
whatever coaches and Consultants they
help agencies or they help other
businesses provide the service so they
provide like a strategy tactics they do
coaching they uh you know do like
accountability they do they do testing
they do higher level stuff basically the
point that I'm making is they just
provide a bunch of auxiliary support to
the business to make the business better
at servicing the needs of their clients
things can get pretty complex in B2B
because if you think about a lot of
agencies you're B2B to begin with so
it's like of a B2B agency delivering
work for another B2B agency and that
first B2B agency is being coached by
like a B2B coaching consultancy practice
uh but the point that I'm making is
coaches and Consultants are just like
auxiliary they typically don't provide
the actual service they just inform you
how to provide the service so why is it
good it's very high ticket some of these
agency coaching programs are tens of
thousands of dollars per year um I run
some agency coaching programs right my
community is maker school and make money
with make and they're not tens of
thousands of dollars a year U my most
expensive was $1,382 a year as of the
time of this recording but you know a
lot of the other ones are super high
ticket $50,000
$100,000 especially masterminds and
stuff like that so if you can get them a
single additional client obviously you
can bring home the bacon yourself the
second reason is because it most often
involves information products coaching
is just all about information it's
strategy tactics guides accountability
systems that sort of stuff and these are
typically very leveraged with no real
inventory or fulfillment and then the
third is a lot of these businesses can
be pretty profitable they have very
large sales and marketing budgets that
are primarily manually driven so you
know people will like run ads they'll
run I don't know Instagram shoutouts on
on certain profiles they'll do a variety
of things in order to Market their
coaching or consultancy practice um but
these are primarily manually driven and
you can automate the hell out of these
so to be concrete here are a couple
examples one is me and I'm just going to
exit out of that before my YouTube video
starts playing and screws up with my
audio um another one that's probably
more relevant is this is just some
program that a friend of mine I think
joined called client Ascension some of
you guys may be familiar with um oh geez
the name isn't coming to me right now
Daniel I think yeah Mr Fazzio uh anyway
this is a program that like helps you
grow your agency or B2B business up to a
certain amount of money this is
typically what they look like um and you
know odds are if you can help this guy
Daniel with his business and you can
offer even one or 2% improvements to
maybe his bottom line or his margins or
something this is probably a several
hundred, month business you'll be
delivering a lot of value and you'll be
able to be reciprocated
reciproca uh you know compensated in
kind so how do you actually go about
selling them well I'm a coaching
consultant so you're kind of hearing
this from you know like the The Source
here this is exactly how people have
sold me in the past the successful ones
anyway and this is exactly what I would
do if I were looking to sell to this
Niche myself the first thing is I would
scrape YouTube I would scrape school and
I'd scrape all other social media where
coaches hang out I use appify that I'll
sh you that in a second I then look for
crossplatform information like I try and
get their Tik Tok I try and get their
Instagram I try to get their Twitter and
X profiles I basically try and get
everything if you want to look at a
practical example what this might be I'd
go
to uh appify over here okay and then
there are variety of scrapers that we
could use probably the simplest one
would be like YouTube channel fast
YouTube channel scraper or maybe um
YouTube channel scraper there a variety
of them but basically what happens is
you feed in some parameters and then it
returns you like the titles of all their
videos it returns you um like their
descriptions and stuff like that it
returns you you know if they have an
email you can use an email Channel
finder I you can get a bunch of
information about like their links and
Linkedin and Instagram and stuff like
that you get Source from there what you
do after that is okay so now you have um
you know a bunch of their information
and you stick it in a Google sheet what
you do is you pass all of this
identifying information to gbd4 or an a
large language model and you do with a
personalization prompt that says hey
here are the last three that this person
created here are the last three posts
this person made here's a bunch of stuff
and then you just have it create a
personalization prompt that says I don't
know uh loved your last post on like uh
I don't know like pushing through
adversity in uni I had a really similar
experience I just wanted to like tell
you about it or something you have some
personalization prompt where then an
artificial intelligence or large
language model takes the last few posts
that are topical and relevant and then
converts that into a oneline um
Icebreaker sort of variable that you can
add to a cold
email then what you do is you create a
custom asset so this is something like a
Google doc this Google doc will solve a
very simple problem for them it will
create a bunch of highquality YouTube
titles for instance or outlines for
Content or uh competitor analysis or
example funnels for a new community
product basically what you do is you get
AI to take all this data and then
generate a really quick and easy little
hit of value which may not even be that
valuable um I'm reminded of this guy
that sold me successfully just uh like a
week and a half ago I think an invo I
just I just sent him like I think I sent
him over $500 now he reached out to me
and he said hey Nick here are 20 YouTube
titles at Rock by the way if you're
watching this you crushed it man he said
hey Nick here are a list of 20 YouTube
titles um I know that I have to give you
some value in order for you to take me
seriously so take them uh I'm not like a
cheap skate copywriter you can do
whatever you want with this and then if
you find this interesting at all just
send me a message back here you go and
then he just gave it to me and then
there were 22 titles and of them I liked
like four or five of them and then I got
value out of it before the guy even
tried to talk to me he created something
for me before you know I even uh I was
even required to give anything back so
if you do this you can do this
completely automatically by the way he
probably did it manually God bless his
soul but you can do this completely
automatically then people will freaking
love you for it and uh your reply rates
on email campaigns like this you're
going to be like at least 5% probably
closer to 10 15 maybe even 20 so what
you do then is you enrich and find email
addresses for each coach using something
like any mail finder which I've already
showed you and then you just send them
all an email then because you've already
produced an asset you also DM them
across all of the platforms you could
find using those scrapers so their
Instagram Tik Tok Twitter uh you know
YouTube whatever school all those
platforms just to make sure they see it
then you say hey here is a list of X
thing that I think will do y for you
it's totally free no strings I want to
work with you but I know value is how
you get there so if you find this
interesting just shout back if not no
hard feelings thanks you can just copy
and paste this thing for all I care Oh
keep in mind there probably going to be
several hundred other people copying and
pasting it too so you might want to vary
the words or something like that um but
but but something like this would work
extraordinarily well I know because it's
worked on me a number of times I've seen
it work on a ton of other people and
this is what people in my community are
now starting to do to see results as
well so what you want to do is you want
to run all this stuff at scale book
meetings and then pitch them on any of
the three NE systems uh two next Systems
sell them for 1.5k plus I think you can
sell them for a lot more than that to be
honest and here are the systems that I
would sell to coaches and Consultants
the first is an AI coach so a common
need in many low and mid- ticket
coaching offers one in my case and one
in a lot of the other communities and in
groups that I'm a part of is some sort
of Q&A that's typically one of the line
items or deliverables provided as part
of you joining this community like hey
if you have any questions about how to
build an agency or if you have any
questions about how to like create
automations just drop them down below
and somebody in our group will get back
to you this is great but what you'll
find in practice is a lot of these
questions end up being variants of
earlier questions so this is like the
same same sorts of questions repeated
over and over and over and over again
essentially you've already answered is
either a video or maybe a text post
somewhere else or something of that
nature so here's what you do instead you
offer these people an AI coach you take
all of the videos that they've ever done
you take all of the YouTube posts all of
the community posts all the school
Circle [ __ ] posts whatever and you
convert this into a retrieval augmented
generation chatbot this is just a fancy
term for like the AI assistants or
something that like searches data up in
a database and then you call it AI Nick
or something and then next time anybody
has a question before they post it in
the group they just ask AI Nick this
will work like 70 80% of the time if you
do a pretty good job it's not going to
answer all the questions because it's
it's Rag and rag is known to have a
little uh you know to be bumpy at times
but this is going to handle 70 80% of
all questions because it's basically
just fuzzy search over a database of
answers to
questions if you do this you could
literally completely automate like one
job or two jobs or three jobs depending
on the size of this coaching company on
day like one cuz does doesn't take much
more than like 24 hours to put together
so you can literally automate like
several Jobs worth the very first or
second day the other thing you could do
is you could actually give them this as
a product to sell to their members you
could say hey this isn't just something
that's included in our program if you
want access to AI Nick pay us $15 extra
dollars a month or something and this
thing will handle you know all of the
questions you have it'll do a really
good job of it's not perfect but it'll
do a really good job you use that as a
first pass so not only are you are you
saving them of margin but you can also
have them sell this as a product to
double or even triple de so a lot of
people are doing this right now um I
know a lot of other people in like the
AI automation agency space are doing
this with their own Brands I haven't
really done this because I think that
there's a lot of value in my reputation
in personally responding to these things
but off the top of my head I could tell
you there's like 500 people that that
would eat this up right now if you just
serve it to them on a silver
platter so that's number one number two
is a coaching management system so
typically the way the coaching companies
go from my experience is they tend to
grow really quickly there's some Trend
like uh smma or in my case AI or
automation or or AI agents and with this
trend there's a lot of opportunity to
make money so creators and coaches like
myself will make content about it and
typically the growth curve looks
something like this because uh you know
so many people are interested in this
the you know it's like selling shovels
during a gold rush or something so many
people are interested in this that so
many people join the program the very
quickly the person that runs said
program does not have enough resources
they don't have enough people in order
to fulfill the thing that they promis
the people that they would would do so
what tends to happen is they tend to
hire shotgun and they just tend to hire
as many people as possible they get
customer success managers coaching
managers uh uh csms like account
Executives whatever terminology you want
to use for them they end up with this
really bloated ass team that technically
does the job but they're all very
inefficient and they tend to be very
different in terms of how they do the
work because you didn't really have the
time time to train them all up to some
standard well here's where my coaching
management system are cm it's very
Cory it's very Cory of me um here's
where this comes in handy Jesus I'm such
a dad you can you can basically build a
similar CRM or project management system
what I've shown you guys
before except what you do is when a new
person comes into the coaching program
you just round robin assign them to one
of the many coaches that you have on
staff then this coach has a number of
stages just like our hiring system there
might be week one where you know when
somebody enters week one they're
automatically delivered a bunch of
assets Google Drive folders
automatically unlock they're
automatically given a bunch of templated
resources uh then when they make it in a
week two some other stuff gets unlock
for them they receive another email with
a bunch of info maybe there's a quiz at
the end of week two when they finish the
quiz they move on to week three
basically this is a an intensive
end-to-end coaching management system
that delivers the same coaching
experience that the people are currently
doing just in like a completely and
utterly standardized way um and this is
the sort of system that can honestly
like make a ton of money for the
coaching company they can eliminate a
few of their coaches for one not that I
want to hire or fire csms but if you can
you might as well um and then it can
standardize the quality of the service
and allow you to to to improve it this
can end up being like one of the most
foundational parts of a coaching
business to be honest um and you know if
you can deliver the thing that becomes a
foundation to the rest of their their
company their livelihood and their
revenue obviously they're going to
compensate you all for it
so that's personally how I would do it
um remember in order to sell them you
could just scrape YouTube School
whatever medium that they're great on
using something like appify personalize
the hell out of it create an asset and
then send it to them alongside some
personalized messaging the reason why
you're doing it across all these
platforms is just because you're
probably you'll have probably spent like
10 cents using AI to create this thing
you might as well maximize the
probability that it gets seen just sort
of like recouping your sun cost and then
the reason why you sell the AI coach and
the coaching management system is just
because these are problems that people
tend to to suffer from so just one quick
review before I wrap this video up uh we
had three niches we had high touch SAS
okay High touch SAS is mid ticket plus
lots of customer touch points they have
very high revenues these are sorts of
businesses you typically want to work
with we had recruitment recruitment
agencies typically deal with a ton of
people and when there's a ton of people
in high volume there's a lot of
opportunity to make money they also have
very high customer lifetime values and
then the third was coaches and
Consultants coaching and Consulting is
blowing up right now they're super high
ticket and since they involve um
information products and margins tend to
be good companies like this typically
have very large sales and marketing
budgets that you can help with I hope
you guys appreciated this video I tried
to make it as practical as possible for
any aspiring AI automation Freelancers
or agencies if you guys have any
questions or suggestions about this
please drop them down below but I love
doing videos more on the strategy and
the tactics uh although you know I also
really enjoy doing videos doing the
actual building as well thanks so much
again if you guys could do me a solid
like subscribe comment do all that fun
stuff to bump me up in the YouTube algo
I'll catch you on the next one cheers

The video outlines the three best niches for an AI automation agency in 2025: High-touch SaaS, Recruitment, and Coaching/Consulting. The speaker emphasizes that ideal niches should be digital, mid-ticket or higher, and have minimal regulations. For each niche, the video provides a practical strategy for scraping leads, conducting cold outreach using AI personalization, and building specific high-value automation systems—such as lead generation, proposal generators, recruitment pipelines, and AI-powered coaches.
