Everyone's talking about which AI model is best. Nobody's asking the harder question: does your team know how to use any of them effectively? The $240/month question The average team spends $240/month per seat on AI tools. Most can't point to a single workflow that's actually faster because of it. That's not a tool problem. It's a training problem. What I keep seeing After working with dozens of service businesses on AI adoption, here's the pattern: Week 1: Team gets excited, experiments with ChatGPT Week 4: Usage drops 60% Week 8: "AI doesn't work for our business" The missing step? Nobody showed them how to apply it to their actual workflows. Not generic prompt tips — specific, role-based training on the tools they already have. The real ROI calculation When someone learns to automate a 2-hour weekly report into a 10-minute review, that's 90 hours/year reclaimed. At $50/hour loaded cost, that's $4,500 from one person learning one thing. Multiply that across a 10-person team learning
