"I will admit, I was skeptical for the first few weeks using Carter Simmons. Fast forward 2 months, Carter's systems and SOPs have been amazing to our business and automating tasks that were eating 5-10 hours a week of each of our sales reps. Thank you Carter!"

The ROI Loop™ · My method

Find it. Build it. Run it.

Most AI projects stall because no one owns the whole loop. I do all three — so it actually ships, and keeps paying off. This is the system behind every engagement.

01 · Find
Find

I audit how your business actually runs and pinpoint the 2–5 highest-ROI places AI saves time or makes money. No guesswork — you start where the payback is biggest.

02 · Build
Build

I build those systems custom to your tools, voice, and workflow — not off-the-shelf templates. First system live in days, scoped around how your team already works.

03 · Run
Run

I host, maintain, and improve everything on retainer — then loop back to Find for the next build. Each month another system stacks on the last, so the ROI compounds.

Why it's a loop: Run feeds back into Find — a new high-ROI system every month, not a one-and-done project.
The ROI Loop · Step 02 · Build

Built for your business.
Not off-the-shelf.

Every system I build is custom — scoped to how your business actually runs. These are examples of what's possible. Your engagement starts with an audit that finds the highest-ROI place to begin.

01

Sales Outreach Engine

Your reps send personalized follow-ups to every lead — automatically, in your voice. No copy-paste, no dropped leads.

02

CRM Intelligence Layer

Your CRM scores, prioritizes, and updates itself after every call or email. Your team knows exactly who to call next.

03

AI Customer Support Agent

Handles tier-1 questions 24/7 in your brand voice. Escalates to a human only when it matters.

04

Proposal & Quote Generator

Turn a discovery call into a ready-to-send proposal in under 60 seconds. Scoped, priced, and formatted every time.

05

Review & Reputation System

Automatically requests reviews at the right moment and responds to them in your voice — on Google, Yelp, or wherever your customers look.

06

Onboarding & Intake Automation

New clients get a seamless intake flow — contracts, data collection, kickoff scheduling — without you touching it.

07

Internal Knowledge Base Agent

Your team asks questions in Slack or email. The agent pulls from your SOPs, documents, and history to answer instantly.

08

Something Else Entirely

If your business has a repeated workflow, a customer touchpoint, or a sales motion — there's almost always something to build. We find it in the audit.

Directional model · your inputs, my assumptions

How I size the
year-one impact.

A sizing tool — not a quote. It uses three constants pulled from real engagements (shown below). It will get you to the right order of magnitude. The audit replaces these constants with your actual numbers.

Projected first-year impact

If your business runs the math, this is the math.

Revenue capacity · approx.
$112k
unlocked by reclaimed sales time
Builds in year 1
3×
priority AI systems shipped
Payback period · approx.

on management retainer · model estimate
Directionally, at your size the model projects roughly ~28 hours/week back and ~$112k of unlocked revenue capacity in year one — by deploying 3 priority AI systems across the workflows you selected. Numbers update as you change inputs above.
How this is calculated ↓

Three constants do the work. They come from my own engagements and from published SMB benchmarks — directionally accurate, not your numbers yet.

  1. Hours reclaimed = Σ (focus-area baseline hrs/wk × team multiplier × 0.65 adoption factor). Each focus area carries a different baseline — outreach ~6 hrs/wk, follow-up ~5, CRM hygiene ~3, support ~7, proposals ~4, reviews ~2.
  2. Revenue capacity = (hours reclaimed × 50 wks) × loaded labor rate ($75/hr default) × 0.55 sales-conversion uplift. Only the share of reclaimed time that's plausibly redirected to revenue activity gets counted.
  3. Payback period = retainer floor ÷ monthly revenue capacity. Caps at 12 months.

Builds-in-year-1 is fixed at 3 because that's the throughput of the management retainer at standard scope. Everything above is a model. Real numbers come from the audit — anchored to your workflow data, conversion rates, and loaded team cost.

Carter Simmons — AI consultant, Tampa FL
Carter SimmonsTampa, FL · Founder
Who's in your corner

I find it.
I build it.

I'm Carter. I've built and shipped two AI products from scratch, solo — Milo (an AI CRM for home service contractors) and HireRecruitAI (an AI recruiting platform) — and today I build AI systems inside revenue-generating businesses full-time. I do the implementation, and I run and maintain it.

Most "AI consultants" have never shipped a product — they hand you a strategy deck and an invoice. I find the 2–5 highest-ROI places AI fits your business, then I actually build those systems, wire them into your stack, and keep them running. Diagnosis plus done-for-you implementation. You don't lift a finger — and it's all backed by the Day-7 Promise.

I take on a small number of businesses at a time, so every build is done personally — no junior team, no handoff. Tampa-based, working with founders and SMBs nationwide. If your business has a repeated workflow or a sales motion, there's almost always money sitting in it — and I'll show you exactly where in the free audit, before you commit a dollar.

You have a real business. AI should be making it faster.
SMBs with real revenue and real operational bottlenecks. AI that pays for itself — solvable in weeks, not quarters.
Common questions

Everything
you want
to know.

How is this different from a course or a coach?+
A course gives you information. A coach gives you advice. I build and run AI systems inside your business. Engagements start with a free qualifying call and audit, then move into a monthly retainer where I do the actual implementation — not just recommend it.
How does the engagement work?+
Every engagement starts with a free qualifying call — I review your workflows, identify the highest-ROI opportunities, and map what to build. From there, most clients start on the AI Pilot retainer ($1,500 setup + $1,100/mo), where I build a working pilot system in Month 1 and maintain it ongoing. Clients who want new systems built every month move up to AI Management (from $3,500/mo). Founders and SMBs who want full strategic ownership move up to the Fractional AI Officer retainer.
Do I own the systems, or do you host them?+
While you're on a retainer, you get full use of everything I build for your business — wired into your own tools and accounts wherever possible. I build, host, and maintain the systems and the engine behind them as part of the service, so they keep working as models and APIs change. Month-to-month, no lock-in. Want to own and self-host a specific build outright? We can scope that separately.
How much of my time does this take?+
The qualifying call is 30–45 minutes. After that, Month 1 requires 2–3 hours of your time across the audit walkthrough and system delivery call. Month 2 onward is mostly async — check-ins as needed. The implementation work is on me, not on you.
What kind of business do I need to have?+
SMBs with established revenue — typically $250K+ ARR — looking to use AI to compress operational cost, scale without adding headcount, or expand sales capacity. If your business has repeated workflows, customer touchpoints, or a sales motion, there's almost always something worth automating.
The Day-7 Promise
