Core claim: “AI agency markets aren’t saturated—you’re measuring the wrong thing”

The speaker argues that what looks like saturation on social media (many “AI consultants/agencies”) is misleading. Real saturation should be tested using market sizing and adoption data, especially for early-stage AI adoption.

Framework / playbook: TAM → SAM → SOM (onion model)

This model helps determine whether a niche is saturated and whether it’s worth starting a business.

TAM (Total Addressable Market): the total market size for a category
- Example: Spain (2024) real estate agencies
  - 66,500 registered agencies
  - +15,000 registered early 2025
SAM (Serviceable Available Market): the subset of TAM that fits your ideal customer profile
- Example assumptions:
  - 50,000 agencies match the right profile
  - Avg ticket: €3,000
- Example math:
  - SAM ≈ €50M
SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market): the realistic share you can win in a defined timeframe with your current resources
- Example assumptions:
  - You can reach ~5% of SAM in 12–24 months via outbound (emails/calls/outreach)
- Example math:
  - 5% of €50M = ~€2.5M reachable
- Practical conversion example:
  - 10 clients
  - €3,000 avg ticket × 10 clients = €30,000 in sales
  - Note: “from developments only,” not counting app/maintenance

Conclusion from the math

The niche is not saturated if outreach can realistically reach a meaningful number of clients relative to your near-term capacity.

Adoption metric / “proof point” to reframe saturation

Only ~3% of Spanish SMEs have AI in their processes
Therefore, ~97% still uses manual processes and may not even understand AI or how it helps
This implies a large unexploited opportunity

Why people think it’s saturated (and quit too early)

The described pattern is:

Start outreach
Don’t close quickly
Conclude “market is saturated”
Quit

The speaker compares this to adoption cycles in earlier eras (high-level):

SEO (2000s)
E-commerce (2020)
Content creation (2015)

Claim: AI is still in the early adoption curve, so early entrants may underperform initially—but the opportunity remains real.

Actionable steps to choose a niche for an AI agency

1) Define your SAM

Don’t start with “all SMEs.”
Start with one niche (or 1–3 niches).
Goal: learn customer problems and constraints before specializing.

2) Define your SOM

You don’t need hundreds of clients.
Target example: 10–20 clients to reach ~€50k–€60k/year.
Emphasis: recurring revenue / ongoing offers (e.g., “maintenance”) to stabilize cash flow.
Timing expectation: results described as within ~6 months for persistent operators.

3) Don’t give up

Publishing/content for ~2 months may not immediately generate clients.
The warning is against quitting right when you’re still educating the market.
Framing: customers must learn AI benefits; it’s a long-term project.

Concrete expectations / mini-targets mentioned

12–24 months: plausible timeframe to reach ~5% of SAM
~6 months: “anyone” can get 10–15 clients with persistence (speaker’s estimate)
Sales math example:
- 10 clients × €3,000 average ticket = €30,000/year (excluding maintenance/app revenue)
Funnel strategy implied:
- Start with project sales (“developments”)
- Then grow recurring revenue via upsells

“So what?” Business implication

The speaker predicts consolidation:
- The “winners” will be agencies that stay through the early adoption phase
- They will win share in the remaining 97% of non-AI-adopters
Takeaway: early positioning plus patience can position you for when adoption accelerates.
