8 ways AI can generate ROI for business owners (you can copy)
Everyone is talking about the growth of AI, but most articles focus on adoption rates and future predictions. Today I wanted real numbers from real business owners using AI.
I interviewed entrepreneurs who have built systems to save money or make money now. There’s no theory. Only proven strategies you can copy.
Get results with AI: Applied case studies
Support teams reduce response times by 55%
Job Nijenhuis built an AI support system at Neople that reads company documentation and answers customer questions. “Our digital colleagues provide support teams with fast, complete and accurate answers in a natural and human way,” he says. Customer satisfaction increased by 15% and the team worked 55% faster. AI connects Slack, Teams, and Zendesk to maintain the tone of each brand.
Choose one support process to automate, or have your support team test the tool. Start with frequently asked questions, train your AI based on past answers, and scale as you see success.
90% faster software development
Scott Hofmann and his team at digital transformation company GFT Group automated their development workflow. “Incorporating these tools into our daily routine has made certain workflows 90% faster,” he reports. AI handles code reviews, documentation, and testing so developers can focus on complex tasks. “Since it works within the existing platform, the team didn’t need any additional training,” adds Hoffman.
Try this yourself. Developers first use automated code reviews and add documentation help, then let AI handle the tests.
Content costs drop from $2000/month to zero
Daan van Rossum of FlexOS was faced with rising content costs. “I spent $400 to $800 per article, about $2,000 a month,” he says. After testing Writesonic with freelancers, we moved everything in-house. “AI often performed as well or better than freelancers,” van Rossum reports. Human writers are currently focused on interviews and original stories.
Start small. Test your AI content tools on one content type, measure quality, and scale what works.
Artists increase output by 300%
Holly Picano switched from hand-drawn to AI-generated art. “With DALL-E 3, you save at least four hours per image, plus more drying time,” she says. “I used to draw three to four images every week, and now I create four images every day.” She creates custom prompts that match her style and sends the files to a fulfillment center. Send directly to.
Start with AI image generation for the simplest designs. Keep things in line with your standards, refine your processes, and then increase your volume.
Save $3000/month with product design
Instead of organizing human focus groups, Forum3’s Adam Brotman created AI personas to test new consumer product ideas. “For product design, we created an AI persona to act as a sounding board,” he explains. “We save approximately $1,000 to $3,000 a month by reducing unnecessary testing. As we run tests, we gain deeper insight into our users.” This system catches problems early and improves the final product. Make it powerful.
Build your testing process step by step. Start with AI feedback to spot obvious oversights before getting human feedback for the rest. Once you find this method works, extend it further.
20% lower supply chain costs
Chris Brown, president of Intelygenz, a consulting firm whose motto is “ROI amplified by AI,” used AI to help logistics companies reduce costs. “We streamlined our supply chain processes, resulting in a 20% reduction in operating costs,” he reports. What’s the key? Involve staff in the vision. “We focus on change management alongside implementation,” says Brown. His team aims to help clients “improve productivity by 20-30% and reduce costs by 15-20%.”
Get team buy-in and share in project success. Automate one process, prove ROI, then expand to other areas.
Video editing in 60 seconds
Isaac Mushman discovered a $10/month tool that changed everything. “It literally takes 60 seconds to edit a video with captions, emojis, focus zoom, and custom AI-generated music,” he says. Captions.AI saves you “$1,000 per month in video editing costs” and “makes your videos look professionally edited and improves algorithm performance.”
Want to speed up your video production? Start with AI captions and basic editing, then add music and effects as you learn the tools.
Improve cash flow with automatic billing
Daniel Kivatinos built JustPaid to handle the entire billing cycle. “Once the contract is complete, the tool automatically generates and sends an invoice,” he explains. “AI adapts to customer behavior and learns the best time to send reminders.” Customers report less administrative burden, faster payments, and fewer overdue invoices. It has been.
Start sending invoices automatically. Then add payment reminders and let AI optimize the entire billing process.
Reap big benefits from AI: Proven strategies that work
These business owners turned their AI tools into profit centers, generating benefits such as 90% faster development, 300% more production, 55% faster customer service, and $2000 in savings each month. Some people spent just a few hours building a system and are now saving thousands. Some companies have spent months investing in solutions that revolutionize their operations.
