The Investment.
An honest breakdown.
500 € for a full day with a senior IT & AI expert? That is far below industry standards. I don't do this because I am cheap. I do it because I eliminated the overhead (sales, presentations, agency margins). Here is exactly how these 500 € break down:
Time & Space. 6 hours of undivided attention. No follow-up meetings, no time pressure.
IT & AI expertise. We work where it's best: at the screen, while walking, working on code, on your workflows – but basically anywhere it's strategically necessary.
The Sounding Board. Active listening, mental detox, untangling of thoughts, and conflict de-escalation in your head.
The Aftermath. The feeling when the knot bursts and your business is fun again.
What is always included.
A Sparring Day is not a standard seminar. It is highly individual. To ensure you can fully engage in our conversation and take away the maximum value, the following items are always a fixed part of our day:
-
The Transcript & Protocol: I record our session, transcribe it, and create a detailed handout. You go home with a comprehensive reference guide whenever you need it.
-
Operative Tips & Tricks: We don't just stay in theory. If we find a lever, I will show you the right shortcuts and workflows directly in the system for practical use.
-
Individual Deep-Dive: Whether it's ethics, data protection, or complex AI processes: I answer your specific questions without a stopwatch. Whatever is on the table, we tackle head-on.
My calculation is simple.
You pay €500 (net, plus travel expenses). For that, you get my undivided attention and my experience as a developer and AI manager for 6 hours. No preparation needed – we start right away. In the end, you receive a detailed protocol as your personal reference guide.
"In capitalism, money is a tool. Added value is when preparation meets opportunity."
The dynamic of the day.
There is strictly no rigid plan. We deliberately let a momentum develop. If we hit an operational nerve, we drill deep right there. In practice, this is a thousand times more valuable than strictly following a prepared agenda. I am not just a listener—I am a solution builder, innovator, and motivator. And sometimes, I am your demotivator. If an idea makes no sense or just burns money, I will draw a clear line.
Respect is not a one-way street. The format adapts to you: We can agree in advance on the dress code and whether we use formal or informal terms. I have navigated all income brackets and realities of life for years—my services are designed for people, regardless of their background, lifestyle, or personal inclinations. We meet 100% at eye level.
My absolute goal at the end of our day: The laptop closes, you take a deep breath, and think: "Awesome, that helped massively. I’ll book him again." It is not dry consulting. It is a shared journey.
The 30-Minute Handshake.
If we realize in the first half hour of our day that the chemistry isn't right or I can't solve your problem, we stop. We shake hands and you don't pay a single cent for my time—only the travel costs already incurred. My calendar is too full to waste time. Yours is too.
Before you book.
No. We start from scratch and work on whatever comes up. You can make bullet points beforehand, but you don't have to. The best Sparring Days happen when we dig in together.
No problem. Many Sparring Days revolve around time management, business strategy, calculations, or operational bottlenecks. IT and AI are my toolkit – but not a prerequisite.
Absolutely. Partner, employee, son, daughter – anyone relevant to the topic is welcome. Daniela brought her son, and exactly this dynamic made the day special.
A structured protocol of the day, at least three concrete next steps, and clarity about your biggest bottleneck. This is not a feel-good chat – it is operational work with tangible results.
Then reach out. A quick question via WhatsApp or email goes without saying. And if you want to dive deeper, there is always the option of a follow-up session.
There is no catch. I eliminated the overhead: no sales department, no agency margin, no presentations. You pay for my time and experience – not for the overhead of a consulting firm. 500 € is the price at which I can deliver great work and make a living myself.
As promised: You do not pay a cent for my 6 hours of time. However, the travel costs incurred up to that point (drive, possibly hotel) will be invoiced in any case. This is fair and transparent for both sides.
Real life happens. You can cancel up to 24 hours before our appointment in case of illness or real emergencies, and we will find a new date free of charge. If cancelled without a replacement or if you fail to show up unexcused, the full fee plus any already booked travel expenses will be due.
