A focused, 1:1 call with a Pinch Training instructor. You bring your actual job — your week, your backlog, your constraints. We build you a personalized AI roadmap on the spot: exactly where Claude can save you the most time, and what to do about it this week.
Whether you're managing a team or managing a backlog of courses, the gap between "I've tried AI" and "AI actually runs part of my week" is usually the same thing: nobody's ever audited your specific work and shown you exactly where it fits.
We run every call against a structured agenda so nothing important gets skipped. You send a short intake form before we meet; we spend none of the call on small talk and all of it on your actual work.
We map where your hours actually go — meetings, writing, reporting, design cycles, whatever runs your week. We're looking for the 3–5 recurring tasks where Claude can step in and carry real weight, not hypothetical scenarios.
You leave with a ranked list of exactly where Claude can save you the most time — specific to your role, your team, and your calendar. Not "AI can help with email." More like: "Your Monday planning block is eating 2 hours; here's how to cut it to 15 minutes."
Claude Chat vs. Claude Code, which subscription tier you actually need, and whether your company's AI policy allows what you're trying to do. We'll tell you exactly what to set up — and what to skip — so you're not guessing when you log in for the first time.
We pull up Claude together and run one of your actual tasks through it — a real meeting recap, a real training request, a real status update. You watch a trained user run your workflow in real time, which is worth more than any tutorial video you've seen.
Three specific things you can implement this week, with no course or training commitment required. You don't need to buy anything else for these to work — they're the highest-leverage starting points for your specific situation, ready to try today.
Whether Pinch training is the right next step for you — and if so, which course. If the answer is "not yet" or "something else entirely," we'll say so. This is a strategy session, not a sales call. The $99 is fully applied as credit if you do enroll within 30 days.
The whole thing runs in three steps. The intake form takes about 10 minutes. The call takes 60. The recording lands in your inbox the same day.
After booking, you'll get a short intake form — about 10 minutes. Tell us your role, what your week looks like, and one thing you wish Claude could handle. We do our homework before the call so none of that 60 minutes is wasted on background.
60 minutes, video call, 1:1 with a Pinch instructor. Have Claude open in another tab if you can. The more real-work context you bring — an actual meeting, a real transcript, a live backlog — the more specific and useful the output.
You'll have a written AI opportunity map, a same-day action plan, and the full call recording — all in your inbox within 24 hours. Implement the plan. If you want deeper training after that, the $99 comes off the course price.
Credited in full toward any Pinch Training course if you enroll within 30 days. No risk, no pressure, no runaround.

Not much. After booking you'll get a short intake form (about 10 minutes) asking about your role, a rough picture of your week, and one task you'd most like AI to help with. Fill that out and show up. It helps to have Claude open in another tab during the call — we'll use it live — but that's optional and free to set up.
No. The $99 is real — you're paying for an instructor's time and a structured strategy session, not a pitch with a price tag to make it feel legitimate. If Pinch training is the right next step, we'll say so and explain why. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too and point you somewhere more useful. Our reputation depends on giving you the honest answer.
The $99 comes off the course price — just mention the call when you enroll and we'll apply it. The credit is good for 30 days from the call date, for either course.
Yes — we run separate workflows for managers and IDs. The intake form flags your role and the instructor comes prepared with ID-specific contexts: SME transcripts, storyboard cycles, assessment banks, stakeholder management, catalog maintenance. The audit and opportunity map are built around your design cycle, not a generic "knowledge worker" template.
One additional person is fine at no extra charge — a peer, a manager you're trying to convince, or a direct report you're thinking of sending to training. If you want to run a strategy session for a larger team or explore a private cohort, contact us and we'll scope something that fits.
A laptop and a stable internet connection. We'll send a video link (Zoom or Google Meet) with your calendar invite. Claude Chat is free to access at claude.ai — if you have an account already, have it open. If not, no problem; you'll still get the full value of the session.
That's actually a perfect reason to book the call. We'll look at your actual role and make a clear recommendation — or tell you the courses overlap enough that either works. Some people straddle both (a manager who also builds training, or a Customer Ed lead who manages a team); the intake form surfaces that and we tailor accordingly.
Yes. We treat everything you share on the call as confidential. You can keep examples general if your org has sensitivity around it — the audit still works with anonymized context. We'll also advise you on what kinds of company data should and shouldn't go into Claude, so you leave knowing exactly where the lines are.
Book the call, fill out the intake form, and show up with your real week. We'll handle the rest.
