Winning With AI Rolls Into New Orleans

The year here has a shape. There are eight weeks when you cannot keep up and there are weeks when the phone barely moves, and the written work piles up in both. Replies. Follow ups. Estimates. Marketing. Scheduling. The same form again. One evening, in a room in New Orleans, spent entirely on that pile. Pre-register and the New Orleans date comes to you before anyone else hears it.

Coming soon to New Orleans, LA. The date and venue are not set yet. Pre-register to be the first alerted when they are.

Pre-register for the seminar in New Orleans

What is the seminar in New Orleans, LA?

• A single evening, in person, in New Orleans. One night, start to finish.
• Every kind of small business belongs in the room, from a Freret Street storefront to a crew working Chalmette to a one person operation in Algiers.
• $49 early bird while seats last. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
• Everything is explained in plain words. No code, no acronyms, nothing to download beforehand.
• Nothing is sold when it ends. No course, no membership, no follow up program.
• The New Orleans date is not locked. Pre-registered names hear it first, along with the venue.

What does the evening in New Orleans actually cover?

Think of it as a workbench rather than a lecture. Somebody sits at the front, opens the same tools you already have access to, and does the job on screen while you watch and take notes.

Everything covered is writing your business already produces. The question that comes in before somebody books. The follow up on day four. A page of scribbled site notes that has to become a proposal. Six weeks of posts and emails written in one afternoon. A scheduling thread eight messages deep. The intake form you rebuild every time because nobody saved it.

There is a second half to this that most people skip. Some work has no business going anywhere near a tool. Your prices are a judgment call. The call from the customer who is upset is yours. Anything with your name on it in public gets your eyes before it goes out. That line gets drawn clearly.

Is AI worth it for a small business in New Orleans, Louisiana?

$49 gets you a seat while early bird holds. Sit through it, and if it was not for you, say so before you leave and the registration fee comes back.

Effort has never been the issue in this city. The issue is what time of day the desk work lands. Messages sit while you are on a job. Proposals get typed at eleven at night. Marketing goes quiet for a month, then two. One appointment eats nine emails.

The evening pulls that apart and gives you an order to work in. What needs a person keeps a person. The rest is set up in a sitting and the notes go home with you.

Why is this AI seminar built for New Orleans businesses?

A room of New Orleans owners is never one thing. A po-boy shop on Freret. A roofer working Lakeview. A wedding photographer in Bywater. A landscaper covering Old Metairie. A two person tax office on Veterans. A gym in the Warehouse District. A dental office in Uptown. An agent selling doubles in Marigny. A nonprofit in Central City. Somebody shipping candles out of a garage in Harahan.

The customers are different and the margins are different. The paperwork is the same paperwork. Everyone answers the same questions, forgets the same follow ups, and rewrites documents they already wrote.

Nothing on the screen is aimed at one trade for that reason. A demonstration that only pays off for a single kind of business does not belong in a mixed room and does not make the cut.

What do New Orleans attendees walk away with?

• The question that comes in at nine on a Saturday. Somebody is asking three places at once. The one who replies while they are still looking is usually the one who gets the work, and a written stock answer is most of that.
• Follow up that survives festival season. The weeks that make your year are the weeks nothing gets followed up. Build it once and it keeps reaching people through the rush and through the dead months after.
• Site notes in, proposal out. Speak the notes into your phone before you pull away and read back something written in your own wording, ready to send after you fix the two things that are wrong.
• A stretch of marketing done in one afternoon. One idea you already trust turns into the emails, the posts, and the offers for the next six weeks, and your job becomes approving rather than starting from a blank page.
• Fewer messages to book one appointment. Eight messages to agree on a time is normal, and it does not have to be. You will watch the short version get built.
• Write the standing document once. The intake sheet, the checklist, the instructions you hand a new hire, the notice that goes out every month. Build it one time and stop rewriting it.
• What never gets handed over. Pricing, the difficult conversation, anything that goes public with your name on it. The evening is specific about why those stay with you.

Who is the New Orleans seminar for?

How does a live seminar compare with free videos and an online course?

What is New Orleans, LA actually like?

New Orleans runs on a calendar most cities do not have. Carnival, then festival season, then a summer where half the town leaves, then storm season with one eye on the forecast. Business here is built to absorb a rush and then absorb a lull.

That rhythm is exactly what makes the written work slip. Nobody follows up in February because there is no time, and nobody follows up in August because there is no urgency. The leads from the busy weeks go cold during the quiet ones, which is backwards.

So the night stays on things you can set up once and leave running through both halves of the year, with no help and nothing to install.

How New Orleans businesses are using AI right now

Plenty of this is already in use around the parish, generally by people who would never call it technology.

A caterer in Mid-City writes her month of emails during the first week, then spends the rest of the month approving instead of drafting. A repair shop on Airline talks its intake notes into a phone and gets back something a customer can actually read. A wedding venue coordinator in Algiers stopped answering the same twelve questions by hand and now edits a draft instead. A two person law office downtown turned its client onboarding letter into a document it reuses rather than rebuilds.

None of them hired anybody. None of them bought anything unusual. They each gave up one evening to find out which handful of jobs were worth handing over.

Who teaches the New Orleans seminar?

Mike Filsaime teaches the New Orleans evening. Behind him are 25 years of building companies, Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar among them.

His habit is to skip the vocabulary entirely. Rather than describe what a tool could do, he opens it and does the actual job on screen, talking through the parts that matter and the parts you can ignore.

The examples he works in New Orleans are the kind of writing a local business turns out in an ordinary week, and there is time in the night for questions from the room about your own situation.
