I Ran My $999 AI Assessment On Myself — Here's What I'm Doing (JWP124)
Description
I sell a $999 AI Assessment to Australian small businesses. Last Thursday I ran it on my own business — same call, same interview questions, same Claude prompt, same Gamma report, no shortcuts.
The report told me to do something I hadn't seriously considered: cold email outreach to Australian accountants using a tool called Apollo, with my own self-assessment PDF as the proof piece. Something that wasn't even on my radar a week ago, just this morning at 9am, fired out it's first batch of 10 emails.
Honest point: I don't know if it works. Two weeks left in the proof window to find out!
The entire report — the exact PDF a paying client receives — is linked below.
