The Winning With AI seminar in Detroit, explained

Metro Detroit business owners waste hours on work a machine should handle. Customer emails that take twenty minutes to write. Invoices and scheduling bouncing between three systems. Social calendars built week to week instead of planned for the month. Follow-ups that slip because nobody tracked when to send them. A contractor in Dearborn spends the first hour of every morning answering the same questions previous clients already asked. A shop owner in Royal Oak checks six different systems to know if they have inventory for that customer. A medical practice in Ferndale spends Friday afternoons filling out appointment reminders manually because the system bills per patient contact. A Midtown consulting firm loses track of which prospects have been touched and which have gone cold.

The transformation starts when you swap that out. One customer question answered in two minutes by AI instead of twenty. A month of marketing planned in ninety minutes instead of scattered across four weeks. Job estimates quoted and delivered same-day. Callbacks sent automatically. Time gets handed back to your team. The Corktown restaurant owner who used to spend seven hours a week on reservations emails now does it in one. The contractor who quoted one job per day now quotes four. The retail operation that checked manually for reorders now gets alerts when stock hits a threshold.

This event walks you through exactly how. You watch the moves live on real Detroit business scenarios. You ask questions. You leave with the three tools and the three sequences to put into place before Wednesday. By Monday, your business runs differently. The moves work because they are built for Detroit operations that have real constraints. Small margins. Thin staff. Tight cash. Real problems that national software companies ignore because the market is too small to matter to them. In Detroit, you move fast or you do not survive. This event closes the gap.

Is AI worth it for a small business in Detroit, Michigan?

The fastest-growing Detroit shops right now share one thing in common. They moved their repetitive work to AI three to six months ago. The result: the same team doing the work of one and a half teams. A Dearborn auto-services shop that runs three bays and four techs hired zero people and doubled their customer queue. An East Side supplier that sells to the remaining manufacturing operations added capacity without adding headcount because they automated purchase order handling. A Royal Oak appliance retailer cut inventory management work in half. These are not national chains with IT budgets. These are Detroit operations that figured out the move.

In metro Detroit, profit margins are tight and competition feels close. Contractors work against other contractors. Restaurants against other restaurants. Medical practices against other practices in the same zip code. The gap between winning and losing increasingly comes down to speed. Who answers the phone faster. Who sends the quote before someone else does. Who follows up while the lead is still thinking about you. A shop in Ferndale that responds to a customer inquiry in thirty minutes captures leads a competitor takes three days to quote. A contractor who can turn around a job estimate same-day books work a business that sends estimates Friday does not. A restaurant that follows up with regulars on their birthday or after two months has passed rebuilds traffic another shop has to chase on Facebook ads.

This event closes that gap for your business. One evening for under $100 to cut five to ten hours of labor from your week permanently. Backed by a money-back guarantee, so you own the risk. The investment pays for itself the first week for most Detroit operations.

A practical AI seminar built for Detroit businesses

Detroit business is built on contractors who show up and finish the job right. Restaurants and bars in neighborhoods where people know your name. Medical offices and wellness practitioners who treat every patient like they know them. Shops owned by the same family for twenty years. Manufacturing floors and logistics operations that have been running since before most business schools existed. Plumbing services in Midtown. HVAC companies in Dearborn. Lawn maintenance in the outer neighborhoods. Printing operations on the East Side. Auto body shops. Appliance repair. Real estate agents handling rentals. Bookkeeping services. Insurance brokers. These are the businesses that built Detroit and keep it running.

These are not national companies. They are Detroit operations, ground-level, margin-conscious, and built on relationships. They are also drowning in the exact same repetitive work. The shop owner answering customer texts until nine PM because the inbox never closes. The contractor bouncing between email, job management software, and the phone. The healthcare practice sending appointment reminders manually because the system charges per patient. A Ferndale landscaping company manually schedules every seasonal job instead of having it trigger automatically. A Midtown bookkeeper enters the same invoice data twice because information does not flow from email to accounting software. A Royal Oak insurance agency tracks renewals in a spreadsheet because the CRM is too expensive for a four-person office. These are real problems with expensive solutions that do not exist for small Detroit operations.

This event is built for those businesses specifically. Not theory about what AI will do someday. Not enterprise software you need an IT team to configure. Just the moves a two-person shop or a twenty-person team in Detroit can put to work immediately and see results that week. No expensive software. No IT staff required. Just the exact automation that solves Detroit business problems right now.

What Detroit attendees walk away with

• Answer your customer today, not tomorrow. AI writes the reply while you close the other deal. By the time you check email, that quote has been sent and the lead is impressed you responded in five minutes instead of five hours.
• Never miss a follow-up again. Set up automation that touches every prospect and customer on the schedule you choose, without you remembering to do it.
• Build weeks of content and campaigns in hours. Turn your best idea into thirty days of emails, social posts, and offers that hit your audience when they're thinking about you.
• Eliminate the paperwork tsunami. Invoices, schedules, intake forms, and follow-up lists handled by AI. The work that ate Friday afternoon now takes fifteen minutes.
• Make your team dramatically more productive. When a team member spends four hours on email and scheduling every day, and AI cuts that to one hour, you just freed up fifty hours of production per week.
• Move faster than your competition. The Detroit business owner who responds in five minutes beats the one who responds in five hours. This shows you how.

Who the Detroit seminar is for

What is Detroit, MI actually like?

Detroit has reinvented itself before. Manufacturing roots that built this city are still visible in the neighborhoods, the suppliers still operating on the east side, the automotive ecosystem that never really left. Corktown has transformed into a startup and craft hub. Midtown has become the city's tech and design center. Dearborn still hums with enterprise and manufacturing. Ferndale, Royal Oak, and the outer neighborhoods keep building homes and services. Grosse Pointe and the lake communities remain prosperous. Highland Park, Lincoln Park, and Wyandotte have their own business corridors. From the riverfront in Downtown to the university district around Wayne State, Detroit is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own business culture.

What does not change is what it takes to win in a Detroit business. You have to move faster than your neighbor across the street. You have to answer your customers before your competitors do. You have to run lean because money is money and every hour matters. The shop owners, contractors, and service providers winning right now are the ones who figured out how to do more with the team they have. A Dearborn shop running two shifts does not hire a third. They accelerate the first two with automation. A Corktown restaurant facing seasonal swings does not add permanent staff. They respond faster to customer demand so existing staff is not idle. A Ferndale healthcare practice does not hire a billing person. They route paperwork to AI and keep the person who was doing it on patient care.

Automation is the path. Not hiring, not outsourcing, not new technology that costs money and time to learn. Just moving the administrative weight off your people so they can focus on the work that brings in money. This is Detroit intelligence. Lean. Tough. Practical. Built on doing more with what you have.

How Detroit businesses are using AI right now

The Detroit contractors and shop owners pulling ahead are already automating. A Corktown restaurant owner quotes delivery jobs with one voice memo turned into a full proposal by AI, so the customer gets a price while they are still on the phone. A Dearborn service company sends all follow-ups automatically and doubled their callback rate because leads get touched on the schedule that matters. A Royal Oak retail shop gets one morning summary email instead of checking six systems, so the owner knows what matters before the store opens. A Midtown consulting firm now delivers weekly reports without a junior analyst spending Wednesday pulling data, so clients see progress and the firm freed up billable hours. A Ferndale healthcare practice confirms patient appointments and answers after-hours questions without adding night-shift staff, so a patient calling at six PM gets an answer and a single staff member during business hours handles five times the volume.

None of this came from hiring a developer or buying enterprise software that costs thousands a month. It came from connecting three or four tools in the right order to the problems they were already solving manually. A simple email trigger connected to a Google Doc and a Zapier automation. A voice-to-text tool connected to a proposal template. A scheduling tool connected to a follow-up sequence. These are moves that exist right now and cost between zero and fifty dollars a month.

This event teaches exactly that connection. The three tools. The three sequences. Why they work for Detroit businesses. And how to set each one up in sixty minutes from watching it done once. You leave knowing what to build. You walk away with the documentation to build it.

Headlined by Mike Filsaime

Mike Filsaime built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar. Hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide use his platforms every day to run operations, host events, manage teams, and sell products. He has spent thirty years solving the exact problem Detroit owners face. That problem is this: the work that makes you money (selling, building, treating patients, closing deals) keeps getting buried under the work that has to happen (emails, invoicing, scheduling, follow-ups, paperwork). Enterprise companies solve it by hiring. Small companies cannot afford to hire for paperwork. Mike spent his career finding the third path.

He is known for taking tools and systems that look impossible on the surface and showing business owners the exact handful of moves that work. No academic sidebars. No theory. No complexity. Just the steps you execute. The people who know his work come back years later and tell him the same thing. The three moves he taught stuck because they work. The tools stayed in place because they are simple. The people never had to call support because he showed them why it works, not just how.

In Detroit, Mike walks you through those exact moves for AI automation. You leave knowing which three tools to use, how to wire them together, and how to implement the first workflow before you leave the event. You understand why automation works for a Detroit business. You see it working on problems you recognize.
