The Winning With AI seminar in Des Moines, explained

Winning With AI is a live, in-person evening built for Des Moines business owners who realize they are losing customers to faster competitors and need to stop the bleeding today. You show up at 6 PM. For 90 minutes, you watch Mike Filsaime build the exact moves that close deals while your competitors are still thinking about how to respond. No slides. No features. Just real problems and real solutions.

You see a customer inquiry answered in seconds instead of waiting three days while a dozen other emails pile on top of it and the customer calls someone who answers faster. You watch a follow-up sent while a lead is still interested instead of going cold and calling a competitor down the street who responded yesterday. You see marketing built in an afternoon instead of stretched across a month while competitors who move faster are already at the customer. You watch the invoicing, scheduling, customer service messages, and paperwork that eat 10 hours of your week get handled in 30 minutes by AI instead of your team.

By 7:30 PM, you leave with specific moves written down, answers to the exact problems your Des Moines business faces right now, and a starting sequence to launch Monday morning. You go home, open your laptop, and start closing deals faster. No consultant needed. No months of learning. Just the moves that close business in Des Moines today.

Is AI worth it for a small business in Des Moines, Iowa?

Short answer: Yes. Because right now, the deal you lost today went to someone faster. That competitor is not smarter than you. They are just quicker. This shows you how to be the quick one.

Des Moines and central Iowa run on reputation and speed. A financial advisor wins on response time. A contractor wins on same-day quotes. A restaurant thrives on table turns and remembered customers. A healthcare practice keeps patients because they answer phones and messages. The owners pulling ahead are not the biggest. They are the fastest. The ones not using AI yet are watching faster competitors take their customers. In a market the size of Des Moines, speed is everything.

Some owners think: "I do not have time to go to a seminar. I am already drowning." Exactly. That is why you need to go. The seminar saves you time instead of adding to it. One move cuts four hours of work to 40 minutes. Another move stops follow-ups from falling through cracks. Another hands the paperwork to AI so you get your Friday back. The time you spend in that room pays back in five hours that week alone.

Some think: "AI is too complicated for me." It is built in plain English. No coding. No API keys. No terminal windows. If you use email and a web browser, you can execute every move the same day.

Some think: "This is for big companies." It is the opposite. Every example is built for a solo shop or small team with limited budget and limited time. You leave with moves a one-person office can use, a two-person team can use, a five-person crew can use.

One evening under $100, backed by a money-back guarantee, that frees up five to ten hours every week you used to waste on busywork and follow-up delays. The customer you land because you answered first pays for the entire seminar.

A practical AI seminar built for Des Moines businesses

This is built for the businesses that actually run Des Moines and central Iowa, not a national audience or a hypothetical future.

Des Moines is an insurance and financial services center. It is an agribusiness hub with deep commodity market roots. It is growing as a data center location and healthcare hub. East Village and Downtown hold independent shops, restaurants, and professional offices where owners are competing against remote competitors and online platforms. West Des Moines is where corporate offices and established family businesses are fighting to stay ahead of national competitors. Ankeny and Urbandale are growing suburbs where new businesses arrive constantly and service companies cluster. Beaverdale holds family shops and established practices. Every one of these businesses faces the same wall right now: customers expect faster answers because someone faster is already answering elsewhere. A financial advisor competes against remote advisors who respond same-day. An insurance shop competes against online carriers. A contractor competes against companies who quote the same afternoon. A healthcare practice competes on message response time. A restaurant competes on speed. A retail shop competes on follow-through. Customers do not wait anymore. Word spreads fast in central Iowa. A customer who gets ignored tells 20 people. A customer who gets fast answers tells everyone. The owners winning are the ones who moved on AI first.

This is not about someday or the future of work. This is about the problem your Des Moines business is facing right now, this week, today.

What Des Moines attendees walk away with

• Answer customers before your competition does. AI writes replies, quotes, and proposals in seconds. A Des Moines customer asks a question. Instead of waiting for you to read it, think about it, and type a response, the answer is ready while they are still reading their email. While other shops are composing, you have already won.
• Stop losing leads because you forgot to follow up. Follow-up goes on autopilot. Every lead and past customer hears from you on time without you having to remember. No more "I meant to call them last week." No more deals going cold because you were too busy.
• Cut administrative work in half. Invoices, scheduling, customer messages, and forms get handled in minutes instead of hours. The busywork that eats your Friday afternoon disappears. Your team stops spending half their day entering data and starts doing actual customer work.
• Build a month of marketing while you sleep. One brainstorm becomes a month of emails, posts, offers, and content that hits your audience while they are thinking about you, not weeks later when they already bought from someone faster.
• Make your team faster at their actual job. Every person on your team learns the moves that cut their daily tasks in half. Better salesperson. Faster administrator. Faster customer service. Same people, tools that work.
• Move first while competitors are still planning. You leave with the exact moves the fastest Des Moines businesses are using right now. You go first. You set the pace. Competitors catch up, but you are already three months ahead.

Who the Des Moines seminar is for

A live seminar vs. free videos vs. an online course

What is Des Moines, IA actually like?

Des Moines rebuilt itself before and moved fast. From agricultural roots to regional financial center to growing tech hub. Des Moines does not sit waiting for change to happen. You move first or you fall behind.

Whether you run insurance, construction, healthcare, restaurants, financial services, data operations, retail, or professional services, Des Moines is a word-of-mouth market where reputation means everything and speed is reputation. One customer who leaves because you did not answer gets replaced by one customer who stayed because you did. The owners winning are the ones who work smarter with the hours they have, answer when the phone rings, follow up before the deal dies. The ones losing are the ones still using the same workflow from five years ago while competitors around them have already moved.

This seminar brings the working-smarter mentality to Des Moines so local owners can close gaps with faster competitors and stay ahead of ones still figuring it out.

How Des Moines businesses are using AI right now

The fastest-growing Des Moines businesses right now moved on AI three months ago and are already pulling months ahead on deal cycle speed.

A West Des Moines financial advisor generates client updates once instead of weekly and stays top-of-mind while leads who get ignored go to the remote advisor. A Downtown insurance shop turns a voice note into a quote before the customer leaves the call instead of losing the deal to a competitor who quoted the same day. A Beaverdale construction company sends job summaries same-day so the next customer follows up before the weekend instead of calling back after details go foggy. An East Village restaurant owner gets one morning report with yesterday numbers, staffing, and feedback instead of logging five systems and spending an hour piecing it together. A healthcare practice in Ankeny answers patient messages after hours without hiring staff, so patients trust they are taken care of and come back instead of switching. An Urbandale service company sends project summaries same-day instead of a week later, so customers feel informed and respected and rebook. A professional services firm in Des Moines core sends meeting notes the same day instead of three days later, so decisions happen faster and clients move to the next step.

None of it requires a tech team, months of setup, a computer science degree, or a big budget. It requires the handful of AI moves that actually close business, which is exactly what you learn here.
