190: 5 Awkward AI Questions Your Clients Are About To Ask (And How To Answer Them)

190: 5 Awkward AI Questions Your Clients Are About To Ask (And How To Answer Them)

Author: The Two Lauras June 2, 2026 Duration: 19:57

Your clients are using AI. Which means sooner or later, they're going to start asking you about it, and those conversations can get a bit awkward if you're not ready. In this episode, we walk you through the five most likely AI questions your clients will lob at you, exactly how to answer each one, and the one upcoming question that could turn into a high-ticket new service for your business.

Key Takeaways

→ A no-AI service is fair to offer, but it needs a specific conversation to avoid losing income.

→ Clients are 100% comparing your strategy to ChatGPT's generic ideas - annoying but true, we'll show you how to deal with those conversations.

→ Every social media manager needs an AI ethics stance worked out before these conversations happen, not during them.
