The strategist who charges $75,000 for half a day put 341 of his private consultations inside an AI

In July, a small business owner typed a sentence into a forum that a lot of owners could've written: "something's off, growth's stalled, margins are weird ... a real strategist is way out of reach cost-wise."

One reply told him to spend $200 on an AI chatbot and GET TO WORK.

A LOT of owners have tried that.

As one of them put it, ChatGPT "has no understanding of the real world and doesn't know what will make a business work."

A strategist who charges $75,000 for half a day had reached the same conclusion from the other side of the table.

He only takes clients already past $5 million a year.

So he took 341 of his private consultations - full-length, the sessions inside his $250,000 to $300,000 retainers - and blacked out the NAMES.

What he did with them next is the reason the owner with the forum post can stop looking...

A retainer, if you've never paid one, is a monthly fee a company pays to keep a strategist on call. A consultation is a session in a room: the owner brings the business, the strategist takes it apart and hands it back with the money showing.

The retainers Jay described in March, the ones the 341 came from, were $250,000 to $300,000.

The owner under $5 million has rarely had one of those sessions.

Why?

The sessions weren't hidden. They were priced away.

The forum sentence had a middle the headline left out. Owners, the poster wrote, "can't pin down what" is wrong.

That's the ENTIRE problem, and it's not the owner's fault.

You can't pin down from inside a business what a stranger with 341 of these sessions behind him sees in an afternoon.

Here's what that looks like from the owner's side of the table.

The owner of a small cleaning company in New Jersey wrote this in June:

"Some days I feel like I'm doing everything right and still don't hear my phone ring."The owner of a cleaning company, New Jersey, June 2026

Posts every day. Drops flyers. Writes to realtors.

Runs ads. And, in the owner's words, it's "to many cleaners fighting for jobs."

EVERYTHING the advice said to do, done.

The advice may be the problem.

What follows is the story of a man who spent 40 years selling his thinking by the day to companies that could pay for it, and what he's done with 341 of those sessions.

Part 1 of 8The man behind the 341

The man who charges $75,000 for half a day

Jay Abraham is a business strategist in the United States.

He's worked for 40 years. A private half day with him is $75,000. A full day is $120,000.

Call a half day 4 hours. $75,000 for 4 hours is $18,750 an hour.

He works with founders and executives generating $5 million or more in revenue, and only a limited number of them each year.

On camera in March 2026 he described what those clients get: "When I work with a client, they get two hours a month of me and I get a big six-figure retainer and I get profit shares for three years."

Two hours a month. A six-figure retainer. A share of the profits for 3 years.

That's the market for Jay Abraham's thinking, and you've NEVER been in it.

Almost nobody who's paid a business coach by the month was ever going to spend $75,000 on an afternoon.

He'll tell you what he gets out of this before you read another line

Jay has a habit, in his letters, of telling the reader what's in it for him BEFORE he asks for anything. He calls it full disclosure.

So here it is, before you've been told what Jay-I is.

Jay-I has NO price.

Jay asks ONE thing of you: that once Jay-I starts working for you, you let him tell you about his advanced services, the ones he charges for.

That's the entire ask. It's not a price. It's a message, later, about the things he sells, sent once the thing he built has done something for you.

Now you know the deal. The rest of this page is the reason the deal exists.

Part 2 of 8What one consultation looks like

33 greetings, one question, and a furniture store that tripled its sales without another dollar of advertising

Before you decide whether 341 of this man's consultations are worth asking, look at what happens in ONE of them.

A large furniture retailer was packing its showrooms. Sales weren't keeping up with the foot traffic. More advertising brought more people to the door and the same number to the register.

Jay looked at the door.

He had the floor staff test 33 different opening lines. One of them changed the business: "Which ad brought you into the store today?"

Customers answered it. They named the ad. They named the PRODUCT in the ad.

The conversation started where the sale was.

The result?

Sales tripled. The retailer didn't spend one more dollar on advertising.

Nothing else changed. The first sentence did.

(Results like this one are a client's, as reported by Jay's company; they are not typical and not a prediction of yours.)

That's what a Jay Abraham consultation looks like from the inside. He didn't hand over a plan. He asked a question NOBODY on the floor had asked.

The car dealer who called $250,000 "chicken feed" after one idea

A New York car dealership hired Jay.

His first question wasn't about advertising. It was: what are ALL the levers in this business?

A lever, in his vocabulary, is any place where a small push moves a lot of money.

Then he went through them. Not one big change. "One, two, three, maybe four percent each." A few points on the service side.

Free pickup and delivery for service customers, which took away the thing customers hated most about the service bay.

Service margins DOUBLED.

The idea produced more than $60 million in profit, a figure the dealer put on video.

His line about the fee, in his own words:

"If somebody can help you make $10 million or $100 million — and his fee is $250,000 — it's chicken feed."The dealer

You're not a car dealer, and $250,000 isn't chicken feed to you. Keep the SHAPE of the thing: every lever walked, a few percent from each, and the total is not a few percent. (A client's result, as reported by Jay's company; not typical, not a prediction.)

What a single cafe owner got from the same thinking: 6 months of marketing in 1

Not every result is a dealership.

Nicolette Richer founded Green Mustache Organic Cafes and Richer Health Consulting in Whistler, British Columbia. On camera after one of Jay's events, she said:

"We've secured a 10-deal franchise sale ... we've pretty much done about six months' worth of marketing in one month that we would not have been able to do without the strategies that we secured through Jay."Nicolette Richer, founder, Green Mustache Organic Cafes, on camera

A cafe business. A franchise deal. 6 months of marketing in 1.

Same thinking. Different SIZE of business.

Those are Jay's results in a room. Jay-I is where he put the thinking behind them.

Those 3 results are what Jay did with clients, in person.

They're not results from Jay-I. Nobody has published a Jay-I result yet, and this page isn't going to invent one.

What it can show you is what Jay put inside it, and what his method has done in the room.

Which is the rest of this page...

Part 3 of 8What he did with the 341

"A Google doc and 3 Zoom calls": what $800 a month bought one owner

Strategy at Jay's level isn't hidden. It's priced, by the half day and the day.

The owner under $5 million has never walked through that door. They get the OTHER door.

In March an owner posted what $800 a month, over 6 months, bought from a business coach: "A google doc with a 90 day plan I couldve made myself and 3 zoom calls where she mostly asked me questions and took notes."

$4,800. One Google doc. 3 calls.

That's one owner's account.

The going rates for the rest of that market, from the sites that list them: a small business consultant at about $85 an hour. A part-time, contract marketing executive at $7,500 to $12,000 a month. And, back in 2015, a contractor who spent $6,000 on Google Ads, "had assistance from so-called experts and got zero results."

This isn't an argument that advice is useless.

It's that the advice the owner under $5 million can buy is a DIFFERENT product from the one the owner over $5 million buys.

Different doors. And the cheaper door has a Google doc behind it.

What he did with 341 of the private sessions instead

On March 19, 2026, on a business podcast, Jay described what he'd built.

He took "341 fulllength anonymized 250 and $300,000 retainer consultations" - his words, as the video captions them - and put them inside an AI, along with "500 million" words of what he called his proprietary methodology.

The work had started about a YEAR earlier.

They "wanted to create not just a bot but what we call a super clone."

"So it's designed for all the people who either never could or would pay me."Jay Abraham, on camera, March 19, 2026

And he put this in writing, under the thing's name: he built Jay-I "so that every business owner could have access to the same thinking that has transformed thousands of companies — not just the ones who can afford a private engagement."

That's the ENTIRE mechanism.

The sessions that were sold by the day to companies past $5 million are now inside something the owner under $5 million can ASK.

341 is Jay's count, said on camera.

Anonymized is his word, too. Read it as: the names and the identifying details are gone, and the business problem and what was done about it remain.

The case files of a $75,000-a-half-day strategist, with the names blacked out

Here's the picture.

Not read. ASK.

You don't get the files. You get to put YOUR business next to them.

His books are public. The 341 are not. They were sold inside private retainers.

Now the objection you've been holding since the headline.

A commenter on a forum put it this way, about another expert's AI: you can just ask ChatGPT to read everything the man has published and role-play him, and you'll get something as good for nothing.

For the books, that's fair. Jay's books are public. ANY chatbot can read them.

The 341 consultations are NOT public work.

They were sold inside private retainers. A chatbot that hasn't been given them doesn't have them.

His books are public. The 341 are not. That's the difference, and it's the only one that matters.

It's built from his words. It isn't him, and he says to check its answers.

Jay-I is not Jay. It's NOT him on the line.

It's a build from his words: the sessions, the methodology, every book, every seminar.

He calls it "Not Another AI Chatbot. A Strategic Thinking Partner." and he puts this notice beside it: "Responses are AI generated. Check responses from Jay-I for accuracy."

"Is it perfect? Sure. No. But it's pretty profound."Jay Abraham, on camera, March 19, 2026

Hold both of those. They come back before you're asked for anything.

Part 4 of 84 lessons you can use tonight

4 things Jay teaches in public that you can use before you've asked it anything

The best way to judge whether 341 of a man's consultations are worth asking is to see what the man teaches where anyone can read it.

Here are 4 things from Jay's own published work and his own words on record. None is a secret. 2 of them, the first and the second, cost nothing to try tonight.

The sessions are where, he says, he applies them.

Jay's most repeated line: "There are only three ways to increase your business: increase the number of clients, increase the average size of the sale per client, increase the number of times clients return and buy again."

Most owners work on the first one, which is the slowest and the most EXPENSIVE.

The point is what happens when you work on all 3.

They do not add. They multiply. Improve each by 10% and the result isn't 30%.

It's 1.1 times 1.1 times 1.1, which is 33.1%.

On a $1 million business, 10% more customers, 10% more per sale and 10% more repeat purchases is $331,000. Only 1 of those 3 needed a customer you don't already have.

You read the furniture story above. Here's the lesson in it.

The ads were working. People were coming through the door. That wasn't the problem.

What nobody had tested was the FIRST thing a salesperson said to them, because nobody had thought of the greeting as a thing you could test.

Jay did. 33 ways. ONE won.

What's the first sentence in your business? The one on the phone. The one at the counter.

The one at the top of the quote.

Has anyone ever tried a second version of it?

That test costs nothing.

The dealer's story is the opposite of the breakthrough most owners imagine.

There was no big idea. There was a LIST.

Every place the business touched money: the sale, the service bay, and the rest of the list. A few percent found in each. They add up across the list, and where they touch the 3 ways of lesson 1, they multiply.

Write your own list. EVERY place money moves. Then ask, of each line, whether a few percent is there.

In most businesses it is, because nobody has looked at the line as a lever.

In the letters he writes for his own paid engagements, Jay puts guarantees like this one: "I have absolutely no problem guaranteeing we'll uncover a minimum upside bonanza or I won't even keep your fee."

He teaches it as a rule: take the risk off the buyer and put it on yourself, until saying no is HARDER than saying yes.

The dealer's free pickup and delivery was a version of it. The customer's risk, an afternoon without a car, moved to the dealership.

What's the thing your customer is afraid of when they buy from you?

Take it. The cost of taking it is usually SMALLER than the sales it was costing you.

Part 5 of 8The questions, and the catch

"What do I even ask it?"

The owner on the forum wrote that owners "can't pin down what" is wrong.

If that's you, you're not behind. That's where a consultation STARTS.

Look at how he worked the furniture store. He didn't ask the owners what was wrong. He watched the door and asked what the salespeople said first.

So start where Jay starts: with what happened this week.

The jobs you quoted. The ones you got. The ones you didn't.

What the customer said on the phone. What you spent and what came back.

That's not a diagnosis. It's the raw material, and it's the thing you already know better than anyone.

"I don't have time for another tool, and my evenings are already gone"

You read the furniture story. The entire test was ONE question, asked 33 ways, by people who were already standing on the floor.

NOTHING here asks for your evenings. You ask it a question when you have one.

The cleaning owner who posts every day, drops flyers, writes to realtors and runs ads is spending more time on advice that isn't working than one question costs.

"He only takes companies past $5 million. Why would he want mine?"

Because he said so, TWICE, on the record.

On camera: it's "designed for all the people who either never could or would pay me."

In writing: he built it "so that every business owner could have access to the same thinking that has transformed thousands of companies — not just the ones who can afford a private engagement."

The $5 million is the gate for his PRIVATE clients. There's no revenue band here.

Jay-I is for the owner with a quality product and a real mission, for whom something isn't working: the marketing, the strategy, or the competition.

And the sharpest form of the objection, that the 341 sessions were with companies past $5 million and the advice inside them is $5 million advice?

Look at the 3 results again. A greeting. A list of levers.

A franchise conversation.

2 of the 3 cost the business NOTHING to try. The greeting cost nothing to change, and the dealer's levers were already in the building.

Jay's own words to small business owners, on a small business show in January: "if you're going to compete the same way, but they have much more resources ... how would you expect to win?"

He wasn't describing the $5 million company.

"Is it perfect? Sure. No." Jay said that himself, on camera.

Before you're told what you get, here's what Jay says about it himself.

On the podcast where he described the 341 he said, of the thing he built: "Is it perfect? Sure. No. But it's pretty profound." In private, in October, he put it more bluntly: "Is it as good as Jay? ... No, of course, but is it pretty good for you paying nothing and Jay investing in you? It's ... better than good."

It's an AI. It will get things wrong. His own notice says to check its answers and that it "is not a substitute for professional advice."

Act on what it says and the decision is yours. Same as it would be with any advisor.

The version you're getting is the build Jay described: the 341 and the 500 million words. The Abraham Group has confirmed that.

What Jay put inside it, and what he asks, is the next section.

Part 6 of 8What's inside Jay-I

Which brings us to why this page exists

The owner on the forum wrote that a real strategist was out of reach cost-wise.

Everything above this line has been about the strategist: what he charges, what he does in a room, what he put inside the thing he built, and what he says it is and isn't.

This page exists because that owner hasn't been told what Jay built.

It's now within REACH. Here's what it holds, and the ONE thing he asks.

The 9 things on record about what's inside Jay-I

Jay-I is the name. It's not a chatbot, and we won't call it one.

What's inside it, as Jay described it on camera on March 19, 2026 and in writing:

• 341 of his private consultations.
• Full-length (his word; read it as the entire session, not a summary).
• Anonymized (his word; read it as the names and the identifying details removed).
• The sessions inside the retainers he described in March, $250,000 to $300,000.
• 500 million proprietary words of his methodology, by his own count.
• Every book.
• Every seminar.
• Built, in his words, as "not just a bot but what we call a super clone," over about a year of work.
• In his words, "Not Another AI Chatbot. A Strategic Thinking Partner."

That's the list. No feature sheet, no screenshots of answers, no hype. What Jay-I says to YOU is the thing you find out by asking it.

The one thing he asks: as you start benefiting, let him tell you about his paid services

Here's the ask again, where a page like this one would normally hide it.

It's not a price. It comes once the thing has done something for you.

And if an answer from Jay-I ever reads like a pitch, you'll know the deal was stated here first.

Claim my Jay-I access

What the sessions inside it cost the people who sat in them

Nothing is added to Jay-I here. No guide, no bonus, no package. So the stack is the thing itself.

The sessions inside it were sold, as Jay described them, only inside retainers of $250,000 to $300,000.

That's the stack. The sessions, the method, the books, the seminars, and the one thing he asks.

No premiums. No bonus. No "but wait." Just the THING.

He paid to build it himself. He's buying it for the owner who could never pay him.

One thing held back until the stack was on the table.

Jay spent half a million dollars building Jay-I. And he's buying it for you.

Go back to what he said on camera about his biggest clients: "When I work with a client, they get two hours a month of me and I get a big six-figure retainer and I get profit shares for three years." The sessions he described came from retainers like that.

The man who sells 2 hours a month at that price PAID to put 341 of those sessions somewhere you can ask about them.

Why?

His reason, as he put it to his team, paraphrased: he'd rather invest in the owner who WILL use it than charge the one who won't.

Part 7 of 8What it costs you

First, who this is not for

Jay ends his own letters by telling the wrong reader not to come. Same here.

• It's not for you if you want a quick fix. The furniture store's change was simple; finding it was not.
• It's not for you if "good enough" is GOOD ENOUGH. If the phone rings enough and the margins hold, close the page.
• And it's not for you if you'll ask it 3 things, feel better, and never open it again. That's what happened to a lot of owners with ChatGPT, and it can happen here, and the only person who loses is you.

Jay's reason for saying so is the reason there's no price: he'd rather invest in the owner who will use it than charge the one who won't.

If none of that is you, read on.

The ladder: $75,000 for half a day, $7,500 a month, $85 an hour, $800 for a Google doc

1. $75,000half a day with Jay
2. $7,500 to $12,000 a montha contract marketing executive
3. $85 an houra small business consultant; 220 of those hours buy 1 of his
4. $800 a monthone owner's Google doc and 3 calls

You've seen the price of the thinking at the door it's sold at: $75,000 for half a day, which, if a half day is 4 hours, is $18,750 an hour.

Now the other door.

One owner's $800 a month for a Google doc and 3 calls. A consultant at about $85 an hour: 220 of those hours buy 1 of Jay's. A contract marketing executive at $7,500 to $12,000 a month.

And the dealer, who paid Jay's fee, called it "chicken feed" against what it returned.

The volunteer mentor, the AI in your books, and the one thing neither has read

Two alternatives worth naming, because you'll find them anyway.

SCORE, a volunteer network funded in part by the Small Business Administration, will match you with a mentor near you: 10,000 volunteers, 300,740 mentoring sessions in 2024. A person, across a table, at no charge.

And the general AI tools now connect to the books: Claude for Small Business links to QuickBooks and PayPal, and ChatGPT has a small business program of its own.

Neither has read the 341. Not one of them.

The mentor has his own experience. The general AI has the public internet, including Jay's books.

That's the entire difference, and it's the ONLY reason to read the next section.

And what Jay-I costs you

There is no price.

He spent half a million dollars building it, and he's buying it for you. His reason, as he put it to his team, paraphrased: he'd rather invest in the owner who will use it than charge the one who won't.

The one thing he asks: that once Jay-I starts working for you, you let him tell you about his advanced services.

That's the price. A message, later, about the things he charges for.

Claim my Jay-I access

What you risk, exactly, and what you don't

There's no guarantee here, because Jay hasn't offered one and this page won't invent one.

Here's the risk statement instead, from the record only.

There is no price.

The one thing asked is a message, once Jay-I is working for you, about the services Jay charges for.

NOTHING else is promised. Not an outcome, not an hour.

Say that sentence to whoever you'd normally check with, and see if it holds.

There's no countdown on this page, and there's a reason for that

No deadline. No "only 50 places." No TIMER.

The reason is simple: there's no deadline to give you, and you've seen enough invented ones.

The only limit here is the one above: who it's for. If that's you, the thing is here.

Which means the only thing that can make you miss it is the bookmark. The page you meant to come back to...

What Daymond John calls him

2 people who know Jay's work, quoted about Jay, not about Jay-I. They're here for what they say about the thinking the 341 are made of.

P.S. The strategist who charges $75,000 for half a day put 341 of his private consultations, the sessions inside the retainers he described, inside an AI. There is no price. He asks one thing: that once Jay-I starts working for you, you let him tell you about his advanced services.

The claim is above.

P.P.S. One number that appears nowhere else on this page: 1. He tested 33 greetings before he found the one that tripled the store. If you ask it one question and stop, you've tested 1.
