The AI Decision Desk: Turn Client Questions into Paid Recommendations Without Endless Calls

Most freelancers lose profitable hours translating scattered client messages into a recommendation, proposal, and follow-up call. This episode introduces the AI Decision Desk: a lightweight workflow that turns emails, voice notes, and call transcripts into a structured decision memo with the client’s goal, constraints, options, trade-offs, recommended path, open questions, and next actions. Marcus shows a practical stack using an AI assistant, a form or inbox, a knowledge folder, and a no-code automation platform. You will get a copy-ready prompt, a five-step implementation sequence, and a simple offer structure for selling asynchronous decision support as a fixed-fee service or adding it to existing retainers. The workflow also protects your judgment: AI organizes and compares evidence, while you verify facts, choose the recommendation, and approve every client-facing claim. By the end, you can reduce clarification meetings, respond faster across time zones, and create a repeatable income stream based on decision quality rather than hours online.
