Business solutions built around your business
Every business is different. Instead of recommending the same solution to every organization, Ask Nichol™ begins by understanding your business first.
Through the Business IQ Score™ and Ask Nichol™, we evaluate your organization before making recommendations. Based on your results, we deploy the right AI solutions and automation best equipped to help your business succeed.
We believe every business deserves a diagnosis before a prescription.
Traditional agencies often specialize in a single area. Ask Nichol™ begins by evaluating the business first — using the Business IQ Score™ and Ask Nichol™ to identify opportunities before recommending solutions through Ask Nichol™ AI solutions and specialists.
Start with your Business IQ™
Before deploying any AI, we evaluate your business. The Business IQ™ Assessment measures your marketing, operations, customer experience, lead generation, digital presence, and AI readiness — then returns your personalized Business IQ™ Score with clear, prioritized recommendations.
It's the first step toward identifying your biggest opportunities and determining which AI solutions and AI agents are the right fit for your business. Free, confidential, and about four minutes.
Five categories, one Business IQ Score™
The Business IQ Score™ Assessment measures the five areas that determine how your business performs and where it can grow.

Evaluate your brand visibility, messaging, and marketing effectiveness.
Sales & Lead Generation
Measure lead generation, sales performance, and customer acquisition.
Customer Experience
Review customer support, engagement, and customer satisfaction.
Operations
Identify workflow, automation, and operational efficiency opportunities.
AI Readiness
Assess how prepared your business is to adopt AI and automation for growth.
Your Business IQ Score™ is more than a score—it’s your roadmap to smarter business decisions through AI, automation, and business intelligence.

Four simple steps take you from your first answer to a clear, AI-powered plan for growth.

Real businesses. Real results.
A look at the kind of outcomes the Evaluate. Assign. Deliver.™ framework is built to produce. Updated with new client results over time.
Turning a quiet pipeline into predictable growth
Challenge. A growing firm relied almost entirely on referrals and had no repeatable way to generate new business. Their Business IQ Score™ flagged Sales & Lead Generation as the clear priority.
Result. Matched with IQ Marketing™, they launched a focused lead-generation and follow-up system. Within two quarters, qualified inquiries became consistent and predictable.
A brand and storefront built to convert
Challenge. An established retailer had strong products but an inconsistent brand and a website that struggled to convert visitors. The assessment scored Marketing & Brand lowest.
Result. IQ Branding™ and IQ Marketing™ rebuilt the identity and the online experience together, giving the business a cohesive presence that turns browsers into buyers.
Front-desk coverage that never misses a patient
Challenge. A busy practice was losing new-patient calls during peak hours, and Customer Experience scored well below the rest of the business.
Result. IQ Customer Services™ added virtual reception and intake coverage, so every call is answered and scheduled — without adding in-house overhead.
What our clients say
Businesses across industries use the Business IQ Score™ to understand where they stand and what to do next. Here’s what a few of them have shared.
“The Business IQ Score™ showed us exactly where we were leaving money on the table. We were matched with the right division and, within a few months, our lead flow looked completely different.”
“Instead of a generic pitch, they evaluated our business first. The report was genuinely insightful, and the team that followed up understood our operation before recommending a single thing.”
“Clear, professional, and refreshingly honest. The assessment gave our leadership a shared language for what to fix first, and the consulting that followed kept us focused on it.”
