Stack Reviews 8

Helpful material that take you from A to Z on your journey of becoming an AI consultant. Also a super diverse community of members with people across tons of different industries

Stack opened many doors for me that would not have been available, the program gave me what I needed to take my career into my own hands. Now looking back I am glad I made the decision to join Stack and would recommend it to anyone ready to start their own consulting journey.

My Stack AI consultant gave me more than I imagined! I knew I wanted an AI-forward website, but I still wanted it to be me and to be personal. The AI component was first and foremost to be helpful, and secondly, it is to demonstrate my expertise and current capabilities. However, I didn't know what I wanted beyond this and how to make it work.

My Stack consultant knew this and came prepared. He had a demo and options that were better than I had imagined. Throughout the consultation, I was smiling from ear to ear. I am super excited about this project, and I know my clients are going to want a similar website when they see it!

Joining Stack turned out to be out a great investment...and its only been about 4-5 months since I joined.

On the path to getting my AI consulting certification - I learned the skills needed to execute service delivery to clients, identified my niche and the ideal client profile (ICP) i was most suited for to be successesful, and how to actually start conversations and close deals with that ICP.

ROI:
2 weeks after getting my certification I signed my first client to a $5k deal and they have the option to keep me on retainer at the end of the 30 days (so i made my money back and then some on my first deal).

Who it's NOT for:
if you don't have a bias for action and aren't willing to follow the roadmap Stack lays out to actually execute and build something meaningful for yourself - then this isn't for you. Building a business isn't easy, but with Stack i found the support structure and the path to make it attainable

I really can't say enough good things about Stack. Having never started a business before I had no idea what I didn't know, and that anxiety always made me default to inaction.

Even before AI, I found myself on the sidelines as those that simply took the first entrepreneurial step found success. Stack's playbook gave me the focus and reassurance that I'd never had previously, and now I'm able to confidently go to market with a value prop and pricing that isn't just guesswork.

Clients can tell when you don't know what you're doing, or if you're less than 100% confident of your own value and how to articulate it. Stack was the best route I found to circumvent some of the first timer's inevitable growing pains.

Stack is a great AI program for anyone who wants to learn both technical and business skills. The hyper focus on building a sustainable business around a set of AI skills that match your background and customer base is incredibly helpful and cuts through all of the noise in the market right now. AI gets a lot of hype, it's hard to know what's real and the people at Stack help every step of the way!

Before joining Stack, I had been experimenting with tools and trying to build and find clients, but I had no system in place. I spent way too much time building and didn't know how to generate leads and close deals. Stack helped me niche down my services and provided me with the resources and templates to close my first 10 clients in 3 months.

Really impressed – the Playbook guided me through both the business and AI side of 'AI consulting'. The community actually shows up and has been incredibly helpful with feedback and support. And I landed my first client pretty much a week after getting Certified, earning the cost of Stack back and then some.

Now I'm working on scaling my business and hoping to go full time with their support and access to some client opportunities that Stack refers.

If you want to build an AI consulting business and don't know where to start (like how I didn't) I really recommend this!
