AI Consulting for Small & Mid-Sized Businesses
Growth-first AI for businesses that need the win now.
Most AI advice aimed at small businesses starts in the wrong place — automate this, cut that, reduce headcount. That's a reasonable pitch to a CFO managing a mature P&L. It's the wrong pitch to an owner trying to grow. For a business fighting to get bigger, "sell more" comes before "spend less." 5Fourteen helps SMBs put revenue-generating AI to work first, then reinvest the gains into operational automation — with hands-on implementation, not slideware.
Where Leaders Bring Us In
Growth has stalled
Referral-dependent pipeline with no scalable engine to bring in new customers.
Leads slip away
Poor lead qualification and slow follow-up mean opportunities go cold before anyone responds.
Admin eats the day
Staff time lost to emails, proposals, CRM updates, and reporting — with no path to grow without adding headcount.
AI feels like hype
You know AI matters but don't know where it realistically helps your business — or where it doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions
For growth-stage businesses, revenue-generating AI is often the most compelling place to start. An $8M distributor we worked with saw a 55% increase in qualified leads and roughly $500K in additional annual revenue after we built AI-driven lead generation, content, and a CRM-connected sales copilot.
Usually growth. Revenue-generating AI pays for itself directly, it's easier for an owner to say yes to, and it builds the case and the cash to fund operational automation later. Leading with cost-cutting asks a growth-stage business to care about a problem it doesn't feel yet.
No. We deliver in phases that each prove value, so you get results — like a professional services firm cutting admin effort 40% and proposal time from four hours to under one — without an enterprise budget or timeline.
