Define Your AI Budget
After you’ve mapped out your business goals and AI initiatives, it’s time to allocate a percentage of your budget to each goal—just like you would with marketing or production.
Let’s take a look at a simple example for a construction company:
40% → Marketing with AI Sales Agents
30% → Operations with AI-powered productivity tools
30% → Customer follow-ups, testing ideas, and experimenting with new AI concepts

Start Small, Scale Smart: The key to success is to start small, monitor the outcomes, and track what works. Once you identify what delivers results, double down on those areas.

Why It Works: By allocating specific percentages to different AI initiatives, you ensure that each goal receives the resources it needs to succeed. AI is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and this approach enables flexibility and experimentation, ensuring that your business adapts and grows efficiently with AI.

Track and Adjust: As with any investment, keep track of how your AI initiatives are performing. If something isn’t delivering as expected, reallocate the budget to a more successful initiative.
