pricing and selling ai services to local businesses
Example session with this skill installed
I am pitching a lead generation system to a local roofing company. I want to charge $3,000 setup and $800/month. Is this a valid quote and how should I pitch it?

The proposed quote for a roofing lead system has been analyzed against practitioner-reported bands.
AI Service Offer Analysis
| Metric | Proposed Value | Market Band (Lead-System) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup Fee | $3,000 | $2,500 - $12,000 | Within Band |
| Monthly Retainer | $800 | $500 - $2,500 | Within Band |
| Evidence Level | N/A | 4 Independent Sources | High Confidence |
| Status | N/A | Charged/Invoiced | Verified |
| Projected Margin | ~70% | 60% - 85% | Healthy |
Recommended Acquisition Path: The Screen-Recording Sales Call
Instead of a standard discovery call, use the following reported path:
- Identify 3 manual gaps in their current lead response (e.g., no weekend auto-reply).
- Record a 15-20 minute screen-share showing a working prototype of their specific lead flow.
- Send the video via DM/Email with a "pilot to retainer" structure.
Deal Structure
- Pilot: Offer a 7-day live pilot for a small friction-reducing fee or free.
Lock-in: Bundle lead optimization reports into the $800/month to ensure the retainer is viewed as an investment, not an expense.
- Anchor: Compare the $800/month to the cost of one lost roofing contract (approx. $8k-$15k).
Next steps

About this skill
The problem
Developers and agencies struggle to quote AI services, often guessing at rates or undercharging for complex automations. There is a lack of verified data on what local businesses actually pay for bots, lead systems, and internal CRUD apps.
What it does
- Provides price bands for 12 service classes based on practitioner-reported invoices from 2025 to 2026.
- Validates quotes using a bundled Python checker to ensure they align with market evidence and internal effort costs.
- Details specific client acquisition paths including the sitemap call and screen-recording sales methods.
- Structures offers for recurrence using setup fees plus retainers rather than hourly billing.
- Benchmarks delivery times for common tasks like local site skeletons and lead system installs.
Frameworks & tools
Python 3.8+ (standard library), Claude Code, Cowork.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLM prompts often hallucinate high-ticket "dream" prices or suggest unrealistic "get rich quick" schemes. This skill uses a dataset that distinguishes between amounts actually invoiced and mere recommendations, backed by a CLI tool that hard-codes these constraints to prevent over-optimistic quoting.
Use cases
- Price a support chatbot for a multi-location dental practice or local contractor.
- Calculate the margin for a lead generation automation before sending a proposal.
- Choose a proven sales path for cold outreach to commercial cleaning businesses.
- Audit an existing agency retainer to see if it fits documented market anchors.
Known limitations
Price bands are based on US market data in USD. Not for use with consumer apps, e-commerce products, or legal/tax advice.
