Hey Salt Lake City — if you're like most business owners, you've probably landed on a bunch of these 'city pages' before. All sound kinda the same, don't they? Filled with buzzwords, promises, and usually some stock photo of a happy business meeting that never actually happens. Well, that's not what I'm about. I'm just one guy, A.I. Consulting LLC, based out of Florida, but I work with businesses all over, including right here in Salt Lake City, Utah. I'm not here to sell you a dream, just to offer some practical help with your data.
Okay so, you've got data, right? Every business does. The tricky part is making it useful. That's where I come in. I help Salt Lake City businesses turn all those numbers into something you can actually *do* something with. Think of me as your data translator, or maybe even your data mechanic. I'll figure out what's under the hood and get it running smoother for you.
## What I actually do for Salt Lake City clients
Most of my projects for Salt Lake City businesses fall into a few buckets. Sometimes it's setting up a dashboard that actually gives you insights into your sales or customer behavior, instead of just showing you a bunch of disconnected graphs. Other times, it's about automating a repetitive task that's eating up your team's time – maybe pulling reports or reconciling data from different systems. I’m not building some giant, complex system you’ll never use; I’m building something specific to solve a real problem you have today.
For example, I might help a small manufacturing company in Salt Lake City analyze their production line data to identify bottlenecks and reduce waste. Or I could help a local retail store understand which marketing channels are actually driving sales and which ones are just burning money. It's about finding those specific, actionable improvements that make a difference to your bottom line, not just throwing fancy tech at a problem.
## How a Salt Lake City engagement usually goes
1. **Week 1-2: The 'What's the Deal?' Phase.** We'll have a couple of calls, you'll tell me what's bugging you, what data you have, and what you're hoping to achieve. I'll ask a lot of questions. I might even ask to see some of your data (under strict NDA, of course). This is where I figure out if I can genuinely help you and, just as importantly, if we're a good fit. If I don't think I can add value, I'll tell you straight up. No charge for this part, obviously.
2. **Week 3-4: The 'Let's Get a Plan' Phase.** If we decide to move forward, I'll put together a simple project proposal. It'll outline exactly what I'm going to do, what you can expect, a rough timeline, and a fixed-fee cost. No surprises. We'll refine it until you're comfortable.
3. **Week 5-12 (or so): The 'Doing the Work' Phase.** This is where I roll up my sleeves. I'll be digging into your data, building the models, setting up the dashboards, or automating whatever needs automating. We'll have regular check-ins, probably weekly, to make sure we're on track and you can see the progress. I’m pretty transparent about what I’m doing.
4. **Week 13+: The 'Hand Off & Support' Phase.** Once the main work is done, I'll show you exactly how to use everything I’ve built. I'll make sure you or your team feel comfortable. I’ll also provide a short period of post-project support to iron out any kinks. I'm not gonna leave you hanging.
## What it costs, roughly
I work on a fixed-fee basis for most projects. This means you know the total cost upfront, no hourly surprises. For a typical data analytics or business intelligence project, you're usually looking at something in the low five-figure range. Very small, focused tasks might be less, and more complex, longer-term engagements could be more. I'm not the cheapest option out there, but I'm also not the most expensive. What you get is an honest, experienced solo operator, not a whole agency with overhead to feed. I value transparency over everything when it comes to money.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not for everyone. If you're a massive Fortune 500 company looking for a huge consulting team to embed in your organization for months on end, I'm probably not your guy. I also don't do 'pie in the sky' theoretical projects with no clear business objective. I'm not an academic, I'm a practical problem-solver. If you don't have *any* data to start with, or if your data is just utterly chaotic and needs a massive cleanup effort before anything else can happen, that's often a different kind of project than what I specialize in. I like to build on what you already have, even if it's a bit messy.
## Getting in touch
If you're a Salt Lake City business owner who's feeling a bit overwhelmed by your data, or just knows there's more value hidden in it, let's talk. I promise a no-pressure conversation where we can just chat about what you're dealing with. No sales pitch, just a real discussion. The best way to get started is to book a 20-min call on my calendar. I look forward to hearing from you.
FAQs — Salt Lake City
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Salt Lake City business?
The best way to figure this out is to think about repetitive tasks, decisions you make with incomplete information, or areas where you just 'feel' like there's waste. If you have data related to these areas, chances are AI or better analytics could help. We can discuss it on a call; I'll give you an honest take.
Do you work with companies outside Salt Lake City?
Yes, I do. While I mention Salt Lake City specifically here, I work with businesses across the country. The principles of data analytics and business intelligence are universal, and thanks to modern tools, I can effectively collaborate remotely with clients anywhere.
What does the first 2 weeks look like?
The first 2 weeks are all about understanding your business and your specific challenges. We'll have initial conversations, and I'll ask for access to any relevant data (under NDA) if appropriate. This helps me scope out the project and determine if I'm the right fit to help you.
What if my data isn't perfectly clean or organized?
That's pretty common, honestly. Most businesses don't have perfectly pristine data. Part of what I do is help clean and organize it enough to be useful for the project at hand. We'll assess the state of your data together in the initial phase.
Are your services a good fit for a small business in Utah?
Absolutely. I often work with small to medium-sized businesses because they tend to see the biggest impact from smarter data use. I focus on practical, actionable solutions that don't require a massive budget or a dedicated IT department. My approach is designed to fit those needs.
