Winning With AI, an Evening for Maine Owners
Portland, Lewiston, Augusta, Bangor, and the towns strung along Route 1. Most businesses here run on a handful of people, so the writing waits until after closing. Bring a laptop and whatever paperwork is still sitting on your desk.
What is the seminar in Maine?
Winning With AI is a live evening seminar in Maine, and it is open to owners of every kind of business, whatever you sell and however few people work for you. A Portland restaurant, a Bangor repair shop, an Auburn salon, a Brunswick real estate agent, a Scarborough landscaping crew, an Augusta nonprofit, a Rockland dental office, and one person shipping orders from a spare room in Waterville all work through the same material: answering customer questions, following up so leads do not go cold, turning notes into quotes and proposals, producing marketing in batches, cutting the scheduling back-and-forth, and clearing routine written admin. Mike Filsaime does the teaching, in plain English, with no code and no background required. Nobody sells you a course or a subscription on the way out. Early-bird seats are $49 while they last, and if you attend and it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
- Maine borders only one other state, New Hampshire, and its border with Canada is far longer than that one.
- I-95 runs the length of the state from Kittery through Portland, Augusta, and Bangor, and driving from the southern line to the north end takes most of a day.
- Portland and South Portland hold the biggest concentration of customers in Maine, while Lewiston and Auburn, Augusta, and Bangor each anchor a region of their own.
- Route 1 follows the coast past Freeport, Rockland, and Ellsworth, and traffic on it is heavy enough in the warm months that owners plan staffing around the season.

What happens on the night in Maine?
The evening is hands on from the first minute. A job gets run on screen where you can read every word being typed, and then you do the same job on your own laptop, with your own business as the example, while there is still someone in the room to ask.
The jobs covered are the ones every business already has: the questions customers ask over and over, the follow-up that slips, the quote that has not been written yet, the marketing you meant to get to, the scheduling thread that ran to six messages, and the routine documents you keep retyping.
Mike Filsaime teaches it. Twenty-five years of building companies stands behind that, Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar among them, and he keeps the language plain. Every example is typed out live, so you leave holding wording you watched work rather than a note to look something up later.
How business actually works in Maine
Greater Portland is the busiest market in the state. The Old Port fills up at night, Congress Street and the Arts District carry the daytime traffic, and South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, and Falmouth sit close enough that one crew can cover all of them in a day.
The middle of the state runs on its own footing. Lewiston and Auburn share a river and a customer base, Augusta holds the state offices and the trade that follows them, Brunswick and Bath sit on Route 1 between the two, and Waterville pulls from the towns around it.
North and east the distances stretch out. Bangor is the hub for everything above it, Ellsworth is the last full-service stop before Mount Desert Island, and Presque Isle and Houlton are hours from any larger city. An owner covering that territory writes messages from a truck between stops.
How Maine businesses use AI right now
The same questions, answered without typing them out again. Hours, price range, whether you will drive out to Bridgton. The reply comes back in your own words and you can see who is still waiting on one.
Follow-up stops relying on your memory. A caller from the spring who never wrote back stays on a list, and the message that reopens the conversation is drafted for you.
Spoken notes turned into a quote. Walk a job in Windham, say what you saw out loud, and get an estimate back on your own form with your own terms already in it.
Marketing produced in one block instead of one post at a time. A month of social, a couple of emails, and the copy for a flyer or a window sign, all written about jobs you have actually done.
Scheduling stops taking six messages. Confirmations, reminders, and reschedules come out written, and so do the summaries, checklists, new-hire instructions, and standard documents that eat an evening.
The evening is equally clear about what not to hand over. Pricing is judgment and it stays yours. A customer who is already angry is your call too, and so is anything that carries your name in public.
What do Maine attendees take home?
- You Type It Yourself Before You Leave. Nothing is left as a demonstration. You run each step on your own work, in the room, and you walk out having already done it once.
- Plain Sentences, No Code. There is no programming and no vocabulary to memorize first. You ask for what you want the way you would ask a person standing next to you, and that is the entire technique.
- A Room With Every Kind Of Business In It. Shops, restaurants, gyms, salons, contractors, repair crews, cleaners, landscapers, real estate agents, accountants, law offices, dental and medical offices, nonprofits, online sellers, agencies, and owners who run the whole thing alone.
- The Work That Stays Human. Pricing judgment, a customer who is already upset, and anything reputational never get handed to software. The evening gives that boundary real time instead of skipping past it.
- $49 Early-Bird, And A Refund If It Misses. There is no course and no subscription afterward, and nothing for sale at the back of the room. Attend, and if the evening is not right for you, say so before you leave and the registration fee is refunded.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
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.
He'll not only make it simple, he'll make it very profitable.
When I saw what Winning With AI could do, I knew we had to move fast. Work that used to drag out for three months now gets delivered by my team in two or three days.
I'm a tougher critic, but Winning With AI blew me away. One idea showed me how to save thousands of dollars a month.
What do people in Maine ask about the seminar?
When will Winning With AI have a Maine date?
No Maine date is locked in yet. Portland is first in line, with Bangor, Lewiston, and Augusta being worked out behind it. Pre-register and the announcement reaches you ahead of the public one, and your $49 early-bird price is held.
Is the Maine seminar aimed at one industry?
No. The room is mixed on purpose, and it runs from contractors and repair shops to restaurants, salons, gyms, cleaners, landscapers, real estate agents, accountants, law offices, dental and medical offices, nonprofits, online sellers, agencies, and people who are the entire company. The office work behind the counter looks the same in all of them.
Do I need any computer experience for the Maine evening?
None. You type ordinary sentences, the way you would explain a task to somebody on their first day. There is nothing to install beforehand, and questions come from the floor all night.
What does a Maine seat cost, and what if it is not worth it?
Early-bird seats are $49 while they last. Sit through the evening, and if it was not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
What should a Maine business keep away from AI?
Pricing judgment, any customer who is already upset, and anything that could affect your reputation. A person keeps those, and the evening shows exactly where that cutoff sits.
Where do the Maine dates sit in the wider program?
Every Maine room is one stop on the Winning With AI seminar, the touring live AI seminar Mike Filsaime teaches one evening at a time in cities across the United States. The teacher, the demonstrations, and the money-back guarantee are the same in every city; the examples change to match the businesses sitting in the room.
