## Current Offer Strategy
Bloom no longer sells broad low-ticket starter build packages. The new model is Powered by Bloom.

Self-onboarding front-door offerings:
- **AnswerHost** - managed AI phone front desk for local businesses that miss calls, need after-hours capture, or want cleaner follow-up.
- **Lost Lead Rescue** - free public lead leak checker and stale inquiry rescue sprint for service businesses with old quote requests, contact-form friction, or follow-up gaps.
- **LeadsOnAMap** - local lead discovery workspace that searches a market, maps real businesses, scores fit, and shows who to contact first.

Self-serve shelf:
- **Bloom Field Notes** - checklists, templates, prompts, and architecture notes for operators building useful AI agents. Free checklist first, then The Full Stack AI Agent Bundle. Browse at https://thaliabloom.com/field-notes.html (Gumroad: https://thaliabloomai.gumroad.com).

Guided builder layer:
- **Hands-On Onboarding + Community** - guided setup, working sessions, automation reviews, and community support for serious operators building automations with Bloom.

Relationship-only work:
- **Custom Bloom Buildout** - tailored AI, CRM, automation, website, and operations buildout for qualified clients after trust and scope are clear.
- Typical custom buildout range: **$10,000-$25,000**.
- This is not the default public product. It is reserved for clients Bloom has a strong fit with and can support well.

## What We Do
Bloom installs practical operating leverage:
- Answer important calls and route follow-up through AnswerHost.
- Check public lead-path friction through the free Lost Lead Rescue checker, then review stale quote requests when a narrow owner-approved export is useful.
- Find and prioritize local prospects through LeadsOnAMap.
- Help serious operators build automations with hands-on onboarding and community support.
- Turn proven workflow pain into owned systems for qualified clients.
- Build AI, CRM, website, and automation infrastructure only when it is tied to a concrete operational outcome.

## How Buying Works
1. Start with a focused product or discovery conversation.
2. Self-onboard into AnswerHost or LeadsOnAMap to prove a concrete workflow.
3. Add hands-on onboarding and community if you are serious about building automations with Bloom.
4. Consider a custom Bloom buildout only after relationship, scope, and budget are strong enough.
5. Ongoing support is offered selectively to existing clients, not as a generic monthly package.
