Run Your Corporate Training Business Solo
Solo corporate trainers spend more time on admin than delivery. AI agents handle proposals and follow-up so you can focus on the work that pays.
You land a corporate contract. The training itself takes half a day. The prep takes a week. Building the custom agenda, writing pre-read materials, coordinating schedules with HR and department heads, prepping slide decks, sending post-training surveys โ it all falls on you.
The Real Problem
Proposals take too long. Every client wants a tailored proposal with objectives, methodology, and pricing. Writing each one from scratch takes 6-10 hours. That's time you could spend delivering training that bills.
Scheduling is a full-time job. Corporate training involves multiple stakeholders, competing calendars, last-minute cancellations, and rescheduling chains. Most solo trainers manage this entirely in their inbox.
There's no follow-through. Post-training surveys, resource distribution, and 30-day check-ins are where repeat business comes from. But by the time you finish delivery, you're already prepping the next engagement.
The Shift
The work that grows a corporate training business isn't the training. It's everything around it. Proposals win clients. Project management keeps them. Follow-through brings them back. A system handles all three so you can focus on what you actually get paid to do.
How It Works

When you get back from delivery, the Support Responder already has the follow-up messages drafted. You send them when you're ready. The Retention Specialist flags the next renewal window before it slips.
Your AI Team
Research Specialist โ from the Specialized department Pulls company background, industry context, and past training gaps before you write a single agenda item.
Data Analyst โ from the Specialized department Structures your pricing tiers, ROI projections, and training outcomes into a proposal that closes.
Sprint Planner โ from the Project Management department Builds the project schedule, stakeholder contact list, and deadline tracker for each engagement.
Content Creator โ from the Marketing department Writes pre-read documents, workshop summaries, and LinkedIn posts from your session notes after each delivery.
Support Responder โ from the Support department Drafts post-training resource packets, feedback surveys, and follow-up messages ready to send when you're done.
Customer Retention Specialist โ from the Support department Tracks renewal windows and flags clients approaching contract expiry with a suggested outreach message.

Before vs After
| Solo, No Agents | With Single Founder Company | |
|---|---|---|
| Proposal turnaround | 6-10 hours per client | 2-3 hours |
| Schedule coordination | Manual email chains | Tracked and drafted |
| Post-training follow-up | Usually skipped | Drafted same day |
| Pre-read content | Written from scratch | Drafted from your notes |
| Repeat client tracking | Forgotten | Flagged before expiry |
| Admin hours per week | 15-20 hours | 4-6 hours |
What This Replaces
A training coordinator runs $55,000/year. A business development manager handling proposals and renewals costs $70,000/year. Most solo trainers skip both and absorb the work themselves.
| Department | Agents | Price/month |
|---|---|---|
| Specialized | 14 | $26.54 |
| Project Management | 6 | $9.58 |
| Marketing | 17 | $25.45 |
| Support | 6 | $11.26 |
| Total | 43 agents | $72.83/month |
That's the work of 2-3 full hires for under $73/month.
Or get all 110+ agents across every department for $148.51 per month.
Where to Start
Start with the Specialized department. The Research Specialist and Data Analyst together cut your proposal cycle from days to hours. Proposals are the bottleneck for most solo trainers โ win more of them faster, and everything else follows.
Once proposals are flowing, add Project Management to keep each engagement on track without managing it manually.
