Find Out What You Qualify For

Sound Familiar?

You know AI matters. You just don't know where to start.

You've played with ChatGPT a few times, but you're not sure what to actually do with it. You typed in a few prompts, got some decent answers, and then went back to doing things the way you always have.
Every week there's a new tool, a new app, a new "game-changer" — and you don't have time to evaluate any of them. You're already wearing six hats. You don't need a seventh one called "AI researcher."
You're worried your competitors are figuring this out faster than you are. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't — but the uncertainty nags at you, and you don't know who to call.

How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

We Talk

Free — 30 minutes

Book a free call. Tell us about your business — what's working, what's painful, where you're spending too much time. We'll identify the 2-3 highest-impact opportunities for AI and you'll walk away with a clear, prioritized list whether we work together or not.

We Set It Up

Starting at $1,500 — often fully covered by state grants

We pick the right tools, set them up, build your workflows, and train your team until everyone's comfortable. From AI-assisted marketing to automating the admin work that eats your week alive. Most projects wrap up in 2-4 weeks.

We Stick Around

Flexible — by the hour or project

AI moves fast. New tools launch, your business changes, questions come up. We're available for troubleshooting, optimization, new tool setup, or anything that comes up. No retainer required — just call when you need us.

About

Who we are.

Hawkpoint was founded on a simple observation: small businesses knew AI mattered, but couldn't find anyone to help at their level. The big consulting firms charge six figures and speak in jargon. The YouTube tutorials are generic. Nobody was sitting down with a 15-person plumbing company or a 3-attorney law firm and saying, "Here's exactly what will work for you."

That's what we do. We work with plumbers, dentists, law firms, retailers, contractors — anyone running a real business who doesn't have time to figure out AI alone. We assess your operations, identify where AI can save real time and money, set up the tools, and train your team until everything runs smoothly.

We're also one of the few firms that specializes in state workforce training grants. Most small businesses have no idea these programs exist, and the application process can be opaque. We handle everything — from identifying which programs you qualify for to submitting the paperwork — so your training can be free or heavily subsidized.

FAQ

Questions we hear all the time.

Do we need to be technical?

Not even a little. If you can use email and a smartphone, you can use the tools we set up. We handle the technical side so you don't have to. We train your team in plain English, and we build things that are simple to use on day one.

What does the free assessment cover?

In 30 minutes, we'll walk through how your business operates — marketing, operations, customer service, admin — and we'll pinpoint the 2-3 areas where AI can save you the most time or money right now. You'll leave with specific tool recommendations. It's a real conversation, not a sales pitch.

How much does implementation cost?

Setup and training engagements typically start at $1,500, depending on scope. Most small business projects land between $1,500 and $5,000. We'll give you an exact quote after the free assessment — no surprises, no hidden fees. And in many states, these costs are partially or fully reimbursed through workforce training grants. Most clients see a return within 60-90 days through time savings alone.

Is AI going to replace my employees?

No. AI replaces tasks, not people. Your receptionist doesn't get replaced — she stops spending two hours a day on appointment confirmations and starts spending that time on work that actually needs a human. Your best employee, with the right AI tools, becomes even more valuable.

What if we're already using ChatGPT?

Great — you're ahead of most. But most people are using maybe 10% of what it can do. There's a whole ecosystem of AI tools purpose-built for scheduling, marketing, customer service, and more. The real gains come from connecting these tools to your actual workflows. We'll build on what you're doing and take it further.

How does the state funding work?

Many states reimburse up to 100% of employee training costs through workforce development programs. Most small businesses don't know these programs exist. We identify which programs your business qualifies for, help you apply, deliver the training, and guide you through the reimbursement process. In many cases, your training ends up being free.
