How to choose a good AI consultant
If you run a B2B & Wholesale business, an AI Deep Dive gives you a concrete plan before you hire a consultant.
You run a B2B & Wholesale company. You know AI can help with orders, inventory, or customer follow-up. But every consultant you meet sounds the same. They talk about the future, not your business today. You just want someone who will show you a specific plan based on your real data, not a generic pitch.
When you run a B2B & Wholesale business, your systems are a mix of custom software, spreadsheets, and manual steps. A generic AI pitch won't fit. Many consultants sell a vision but never look at your actual data flow. That's why you need a consultant who starts with a specific audit of your operation.
A good AI consultant offers a fixed-price deep dive. For a B2B wholesale business, that means 2-3 days of real work: checking your website, your order flow, your inventory system, and what AI says about you. Price should be flat, like $1,500. No hourly surprises. You get a written plan and items fixed or quoted as they go.
This week, ask any consultant this: "Will you do a fixed-price deep dive of my actual B2B wholesale operation?" If they only talk about long-term roadmaps or hourly billing, move on. FocusDude does a 2-3 day AI Deep Dive for $1,500 flat. You get a clear plan before you commit to anything bigger.
Once you have a real audit, you stop guessing. You know exactly which AI improvements will save you time or boost orders. You see the cost and the order to build them. You can move forward with confidence, not sales hype.
What our customers say
"Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term."
"Working with Scott has been amazing! His ability to ingest information, understand it, and then help you understand it is second to none. His work ethic is unlike any I've seen. Scott's forward-thinking mindset is incredibly refreshing and helpful. If you want your website to be found more easily, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott and his team. But don't stop there. Scott has a wealth of knowledge that can help you in so many ways."
"Scott and team just finished a deep dive on our website and it was eye-opening. They found and implemented several key fixes, and actually explained them so we could understand. We've already hired them for another project."

how can ai help small businesses
Start from the pain, not the tool: where do hours leak, where do leads die, what do you retype every week. A deep dive maps your specific business to the handful of AI uses that pay for themselves in the first month.
how much does AI consulting cost
A flat-fee deep dive like FocusDude's $1,500 AI Deep Dive is a full teardown of your business. It gives you a written plan and fixes quoted or shipped. Compare that to hourly rates that can run $200+. You get a clear scope, not a mystery bill.
