Let’s fold in the Dealer Management Software (DMS) opportunity, then layer in early revenue projections (first 90 days with Bayne AI lead gen fully firing), and TAM/SAM/SOM (Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Available Market, Serviceable Obtainable Market = realistic slice). I’ll stay sober and grounded, not hype-y.
Expanded Roadmap with Dealer Management Software
1. Funeral / Mortuary SaaS CRM
Market reality: ~19,000 funeral homes in the U.S., most running on clunky legacy software. Average SaaS cost in the sector is $200–$600/mo.
-
TAM (U.S.): $80M–$200M annually.
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): 1% = 190 homes ≈ $800K–$1.2M ARR.
-
90-day revenue with Bayne AI lead gen: Target 10–15 homes onboarded @ $300/mo = $3K–$5K/mo. Achievable because sales cycle is trust-based but sticky once onboard.
2. Bayne AI Auto Trader (Tracker + Membership)
Market reality: Retail trading education/signals is saturated but thriving. Millions of active traders on Robinhood/Webull.
-
TAM (U.S.): $1B+ market (just counting signal/membership groups).
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): 0.05% = ~5,000 members ≈ $1.5M ARR at $25/mo average.
-
90-day revenue: With Bayne AI outreach, ~100–200 early members is realistic = $2.5K–$5K/mo. Lower retention until credibility builds, but volume is possible quickly.
3. Dealer Management Software (Texas-first)
Market reality: ~17,000 independent auto dealers in Texas alone. DMS systems range $500–$1,500/mo depending on features (CRM, e-signature, SMS, inventory, financing).
-
TAM (Texas): ~$150M annually. U.S. TAM: $1.5B+.
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): 0.5% in Texas = ~85 dealers ≈ $800K ARR.
-
90-day revenue: 5–10 small dealerships onboarded @ $500/mo = $2.5K–$5K/mo. Faster close than funeral homes because they bleed daily from bad CRM + need SMS/MMS. Bayne AI outreach is powerful here (dealers respond to calls and texts fast).
4. PHOD.biz (Local Vendor Hub)
Market reality: Vendor directories are crowded, but localized “network + deals + ticketing” has teeth. Think Yelp + Groupon + Chamber of Commerce + your ticketing edge.
-
TAM (Houston + regional SMBs): $50M+ annually (if counting memberships and ad placement).
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): 1% = $500K ARR.
-
90-day revenue: ~25–40 vendors at $50–$100/mo = $1.5K–$3K/mo.
5. SMS/MMS SaaS (USA Focus)
Market reality: U.S. SMS marketing market >$12B annually. Clients with 10K+ contacts pay $1K–$5K/mo in credits. Throughput + compliance is the moat.
-
TAM (U.S.): $12B+.
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): 0.01% = $1.2M ARR.
-
90-day revenue: Land 2–3 promoters/dealerships @ $1K–$2K/mo each = $3K–$6K/mo.
6. Bayne AI (Automation / Perceived AGI)
Market reality: Broadest TAM, but realistically niche (automation consulting + agent tools) first. SMB automation consulting market ≈ $5B annually.
-
Realistic slice (first 2 years): Small consulting base = $250K–$500K ARR.
-
90-day revenue: 2–3 consulting retainers @ $1K–$2K/mo = $2K–$5K/mo.
90-Day Revenue Snapshot (Conservative)
Assuming Bayne AI lead gen pushes 1,000+ outreach touches/month across email/SMS/calls:
-
Funeral SaaS: $3K–$5K
-
Auto Trader Memberships: $2.5K–$5K
-
Dealer Management Software: $2.5K–$5K
-
PHOD.biz: $1.5K–$3K
-
SMS/MMS SaaS: $3K–$6K
-
Bayne AI Consulting: $2K–$5K
Total realistic 90-day monthly run rate: $14.5K–$29K/month.
Order of Focus (Adjusted with DMS in play)
-
Funeral SaaS CRM – already cash flowing, sticky niche, credibility established.
-
Dealer Management Software (Texas) – fast close, high pain point, scalable.
-
Bayne AI Auto Trader – builds community + membership cash flow.
-
PHOD.biz – regional play, steady but slower ramp.
-
SMS/MMS SaaS – compliance heavy but high margin once stable.
-
Bayne AI (Perceived AGI) – moonshot; build modules along the way.
The Realism Clause
Every market above is big enough to sustain a 7-figure ARR company. The difference is sales cycle + stickiness. Funeral homes and dealers are sticky clients once onboarded. Traders and promoters churn harder, but they scale faster. By sequencing sticky first → scalable next → moonshot last, we get the survival cash flow and the growth shots.
Market Breakdown & Revenue Outlook
Product / Service | U.S. TAM (Total Market) | Realistic Slice (2 yrs) | 90-Day Revenue (Monthly Run Rate) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Funeral SaaS CRM | $80M–$200M | 1% = 190 homes ≈ $800K–$1.2M ARR | $3K–$5K | Already profitable, sticky clients, trust-driven but once onboard, they don’t churn. |
Dealer Mgmt. Software (Texas-first) | $1.5B+ (Texas ≈ $150M) | 0.5% TX slice = 85 dealers ≈ $800K ARR | $2.5K–$5K | Dealers bleed from poor CRM; SMS/MMS integration is huge selling point. |
Bayne AI Auto Trader (Tracker + Memberships) | $1B+ (education/signal groups) | 0.05% = ~5,000 users ≈ $1.5M ARR | $2.5K–$5K | Fast membership growth, but retention hinges on credibility and proof of returns. |
PHOD.biz Vendor Hub | $50M+ (regional SMB memberships/ads) | 1% = $500K ARR | $1.5K–$3K | Steady community revenue, not explosive. Ticketing + deals are differentiators. |
SMS/MMS SaaS (USA) | $12B+ | 0.01% = $1.2M ARR | $3K–$6K | High-volume promoters, dealerships, festivals. Strong margin, compliance is the only brake. |
Bayne AI (Automation / AGI) | $5B+ (automation consulting SMBs) | Small base = $250K–$500K ARR | $2K–$5K | Longest burn, but credibility grows if early modules (auto-callers, bots) are released. |
90-Day Combined Revenue Potential
$14.5K – $29K per month
(assuming Bayne AI lead gen running SMS, calls, and email outreach across all verticals)
