What is the seminar in Des Moines, IA?
Winning With AI is a live, in person seminar headed to Des Moines, open to owners, managers, and staff from every kind of small business in central Iowa. No industry is the target, because the subject is paperwork every business has: replies to customer questions, follow up that keeps a lead from going cold, notes turned into a quote or estimate, marketing written in batches, the scheduling back and forth cut down, and routine written admin such as summaries, checklists, and the documents you retype. The same evening is direct about what to keep away from the tools, which is what you charge, the difficult customer conversation, and anything published under your name. Mike Filsaime teaches it. Early bird seats are $49 while they last, with the registration fee refunded if you attend and say before leaving the room that it was not right for you. There is nothing to code, nothing said in jargon, no experience assumed, and no course or membership after the Des Moines evening. There is no Des Moines date yet, so pre-registration is what is open.
- A single Des Moines evening, in person, with nothing recorded afterward.
- Any small business in central Iowa is welcome, inside I-235 or well outside it.
- $49 early bird while seats last, and the fee comes back if you say before leaving that it missed.
- Plain words the whole way through. No software to install beforehand.
- Nothing to buy when it ends. No course and no subscription.
- No Des Moines date is announced yet. Pre-register and you hear it first.
What does the evening in Des Moines actually cover?
Nothing about the evening is a slide deck. Every step gets done live on a screen in a Des Moines room, at a pace the back row can read.
What gets worked is ordinary writing. The customer question that shows up on a Saturday. The lead from Tuesday nobody circled back to. Field notes that have to turn into an estimate. A month of posts and emails nobody has written. The thread about what time works. The same checklist and the same instructions, retyped for the fifth time.
The night spends real time on the other side of it too. Pricing stays a judgment call. So does the call with somebody who is upset. So does anything that carries your name in public. The tool is a drafting tool, and that is where it stops.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Des Moines, Iowa?
Early bird seats are $49 while they last. If you sit through it and it was not right, say so before you leave the room and the fee is refunded.
Interest is not the problem in central Iowa. Time is. A drive out to Waukee and back takes the middle of the day. An ice storm can wipe out a full day of scheduled work. Paperwork gets done after supper because the daylight hours went to jobs. Whole months go by with nothing posted anywhere.
The evening takes that written load and puts it somewhere better, and it leaves the human parts alone. You leave with the steps written down and nothing follows you home.
Why is this AI seminar built for Des Moines businesses?
The room does not sort people by trade. A storefront in the East Village, a crew that runs out to Ankeny, an office above Ingersoll, all the same evening.
A siding crew working Beaverdale bungalows. A lunch counter on Court Avenue. A salon in Windsor Heights. A lawn company covering Urbandale and Clive. A two person tax office near Merle Hay. A gym in the Drake neighborhood. A cleaning company on the north side. A dental office in Waukee. A nonprofit near the Capitol. An agent showing homes in Highland Park. A repair shop on Euclid. Somebody packing orders in a garage in Norwalk. The written work does not change from one to the next.
Which sets the rule for what makes the stage. A step that only helps one type of business gets cut.
What do Des Moines attendees walk away with?
- Answer the question the day it lands. A customer who asks on Saturday afternoon often picks somebody by Sunday. Standard answers written in advance mean your reply goes out while the question is still fresh.
- Nothing goes cold because you got busy. A lead that never heard back is not a lead that said no. The evening shows how to set the follow up once and leave it alone after that.
- From a notebook page to a real quote. What you wrote on site turns into a quote a customer can actually read, in your wording, without an evening at the desk to build it.
- Write the month all at once. The posts and emails that never get written get written in a single sitting, then trimmed down to what actually sounds like your business.
- One message to set a time. Scheduling by text takes four exchanges and still ends up wrong. There is a straightforward way to cut that to one, and it gets covered.
- Routine paperwork, written once. Summaries, checklists, instructions, the standard document you retype. All of it gets built one time and pulled off the shelf after.
- Keep these off the tool. Prices, hard conversations, and anything with your name on it in public. The night is clear about where the line sits and why it is there.

What is Des Moines, IA actually like?
Des Moines sits where two rivers meet, and the metro rings out past I-235 into Ankeny, Urbandale, Waukee, and Norwalk. Downtown moves on foot and through the skywalk. Everything past the beltway moves on drive time.
Businesses across central Iowa lose working days to the same two things. Snow and ice cancel outdoor work on short notice in winter, and summer books solid. A run to the far side of the metro and back takes most of an afternoon. So anything you can finish in writing from a phone in a parking lot is worth more here than it would be in a compact city.
That is what the evening is built around. Nothing shown needs more than the tools already sitting on your desk.
How Des Moines businesses are using AI right now
This is not a preview of something coming. Businesses around central Iowa already do pieces of it, most without a single technical person on staff.
A four-man siding crew dictates the measurements in the driveway and gets the estimate back written up in the owner's own wording, checked once and sent. A shop on Ingersoll drafts a month of emails and posts in one sitting and schedules the rest. A two-person office wrote its standard client instructions one time instead of rebuilding them every week. A repair shop in Ankeny keeps written answers ready for the six questions it gets daily.
Same shape in every case. The keyboard time went away and the judgment stayed. Prices, hard conversations, and anything public remain with the owner.
Who teaches the Des Moines seminar?
Mike Filsaime has put 25 years into building companies. Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar came out of that stretch, all of them software small businesses use for the everyday running of the place.
In a room he talks the way people talk. No acronyms and no assumed vocabulary. Rather than explaining what a tool would do, he opens it and does the work on screen, wording included, while everyone follows along.
In Des Moines he uses the sort of backlog a central Iowa owner has sitting on a desk, and he works through it live instead of describing what it might look like.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
I'm a tougher critic, but Winning With AI blew me away. One idea showed me how to save thousands of dollars a month.
I had no coding experience. No technical background. Nothing. After seeing how to use AI in plain English, I built software and workflows that completely changed my company.
My project lead was wearing too many hats, and the team felt it. This one event showed us how AI could take that work off people's plates. The impact on our sanity has been massive.
Thank you for your incredible knowledge and insight. It made a powerful impact. I don't take anyone's time lightly, least of all someone with your level of marketing genius.
