Buffalo, Every Kind of Business, Winning With AI
Three inches on the ground by noon and the whole afternoon schedule moves. Two customers from last week still waiting on written estimates. A month of posts nobody has drafted. Those are the actual working conditions, and they are what gets handled on screen during one evening in Buffalo. Pre-register and the date lands in your inbox ahead of the public announcement.
Coming soon to Buffalo, NY. The date and venue are not set yet. Pre-register to be the first alerted when they are.

What is the seminar in Buffalo, NY?
Winning With AI is a live, in person evening coming to Buffalo, open to owners of every kind of small business in Western New York with nobody sorted by trade at the door. What the evening works on is the written side of running a business: replying to customer questions, keeping follow up moving before somebody goes elsewhere, turning notes taken on a job into a quote or estimate, drafting a stretch of marketing all at once, trimming the back and forth it takes to lock in a time, and the standing admin of summaries, checklists, instructions, and the documents you rewrite every month. A full section covers the opposite question, meaning the work to keep away from these tools: setting a price, handling somebody who is angry, and anything that goes out in public with your name attached. The teacher is Mike Filsaime, who built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar across 25 years of running his own companies. Early bird seats are $49 while they last, and if you attend and decide before leaving the room that it was not right for you, the registration fee is refunded. No coding, no jargon, no prior experience, and nothing sold at the end. Buffalo does not have a date yet, so pre-registration is what is open on this page.
- A single evening in Buffalo, in person, with no recording made.
- Small businesses of every kind, from Riverside out to Cheektowaga.
- $49 early bird while seats last, refunded if it is not right for you.
- Plain words the whole way, and no software to set up in advance.
- Nothing gets pitched afterward. No program and no monthly charge.
- The Buffalo date is still open. Pre-register to hear it first.
What does the evening in Buffalo actually cover?
Nothing runs from a deck. The work happens on a live screen in a Buffalo room, one step at a time, at a pace you can copy into a notebook.
What goes on that screen is ordinary. A message that arrived at eleven on a Friday night. A customer off Hertel who called two weeks ago and never got a call back. Numbers written on the back of an envelope at a job in Lackawanna that have to become a real estimate. Emails and posts for the next month, none of them started. Instructions for a new hire, written from scratch one more time.
Then the evening turns the other way. Pricing is yours. The conversation with somebody threatening a review is yours. Anything the public sees with the business name on it is yours. A draft is where the tool hands the work back.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Buffalo, New York?
Early bird seats are $49 while they last, and if it is not right for you, say so before leaving the room and the registration fee is refunded.
Nobody here is short on work. What runs out is daylight. A run from Black Rock to Orchard Park in February is a different trip than the same run in June, and plow days rearrange whatever you had planned.
By the time the truck is parked, the writing is still sitting there. This evening takes that pile and leaves the calls that need your judgment untouched. You leave with the steps on paper and no homework.
Why is this AI seminar built for Buffalo businesses?
Nobody gets grouped by trade in this room. A shop on Grant Street, a crew running out to Amherst, a two person office in Allentown, all of it fits the same evening.
A roofer working South Buffalo. A restaurant in Larkinville. A barber on Hertel Avenue. A landscaping outfit covering Tonawanda and Kenmore. A bookkeeper on Delaware Avenue. A gym in Black Rock. A cleaning company running Amherst and Williamsville. A dental office near Delaware Park. A nonprofit on the West Side. An agent listing in Elmwood Village. A repair shop off Broadway. Somebody packing orders in a basement in Riverside. The paperwork is the same shape in each one.
So the test for anything on the agenda is simple. If it only works for one type of business, it does not get taught.
What do Buffalo attendees walk away with?
- Same day replies, even in a storm. Questions that arrive while you are out get real written answers prepared ahead of time, so nobody sits waiting until the roads clear.
- Follow up that survives a busy week. The customer you meant to call back is still available. The follow up gets set up in the room and keeps working once you go home.
- From an envelope to a written estimate. Numbers jotted at a job in Lackawanna turn into something the customer can read and approve, worded the way you would word it.
- A season of marketing drafted at once. Posts and emails for the next several weeks get written in one sitting, then trimmed until they sound like your business.
- Booking without the back and forth. Locking in one appointment should take a message, not a whole afternoon of texts. That gets rebuilt live in front of the room.
- Standard documents built one time. Checklists, summaries, instructions, the same form you rewrite for every job. Each gets written properly once and reused.
- What stays off the tool entirely. Setting prices, calming somebody down, and anything with your name on it in public. The evening draws that line early on.

|---|---|---|---|
| Setting | One Buffalo evening with owners from the area | A laptop at the kitchen table at night | Lessons you chip at over a month |
| Who belongs there | Any small business in Western New York | Whoever the algorithm picked for you | Aimed at a national market |
| Getting an answer | Ask it out loud and hear it answered | A comment that goes nowhere | A ticket and a wait |
| Watching the work | Built start to finish while you watch | Edited down to keep it short | Filmed before the tools moved on |
| The next day | Nothing to purchase, nothing to cancel | Nothing follows it | A recurring bill |
What is Buffalo, NY actually like?
Buffalo sits where Lake Erie empties into the Niagara River, with the 33 running out to the airport, the 190 following the water, and the Peace Bridge putting Canada fifteen minutes from downtown.
Weather runs the calendar more than anywhere else on this tour. A lake effect band can bury one neighborhood and skip the next, so a full schedule turns into three cancellations and a reschedule by lunch. Summer is short and everybody books it at once. Work that can be finished in writing from a phone while you wait out a squall is worth real time here.
That is the frame for the whole night. Nothing shown needs equipment you do not already own.
How Buffalo businesses are using AI right now
None of this is speculation about next year. Businesses across Erie County are already running parts of it, and almost none of them have anybody technical on staff.
A snow removal outfit in Cheektowaga stopped fielding the same six questions by phone every storm, because the written answers are ready and go out in one message. A pizzeria on Elmwood that posted whenever the owner had a spare hour now writes a month of captions and emails in one afternoon. A two person law office off Court Street built its client intake instructions once instead of retyping them each time. A heating and cooling crew reads the customer a written estimate from the driveway in Kenmore before the van door closes.
The change is narrow and consistent. The keyboard hours came off the day, and the decisions stayed exactly where they were. Pricing, hard conversations, and anything public are still on you.
Who teaches the Buffalo seminar?
Twenty five years of building his own companies came first for Mike Filsaime, and Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar all came out of that period.
Plain English is not a marketing line for him, it is the method. Initials get spelled out, nothing gets skipped because it seems obvious, and when a step can be shown instead of described, it gets shown.
The Buffalo night follows that pattern. He takes a backlog a Western New York owner would recognize and works it through on the screen, with the room asking questions as it goes.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
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.
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.
When is the seminar coming to Buffalo?
We have not set the Buffalo date yet. Pre-register and you will be the first to know when we do, before seats go on sale to everyone else.
Pre-register for the seminar in Buffalo
What do people in Buffalo ask about the seminar?
Has a date been set for the Buffalo Winning With AI seminar?
Not yet. The pre-registration list on this page is how the Buffalo date and venue go out first, along with the early bird price while seats are still available.
What part of Buffalo will the seminar be held in?
The room is not booked yet. It will be a straightforward drive from downtown with parking that does not turn into a problem, and pre-registered people get the address before anyone else.
Is the Buffalo seminar built for specific kinds of businesses?
No, and that is deliberate. The room takes contractors, shops, restaurants, salons, gyms, repair crews, landscapers, cleaners, real estate agents, accountants, law offices, dental and medical offices, nonprofits, online sellers, agencies, and one person operations. The written work is what they share.
How much is a ticket to the Buffalo evening?
Early bird seats are $49 while they last. If you attend and it turns out to be wrong for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
I have never used any of these tools. Can I still follow the Buffalo seminar?
Yes. Nothing technical is assumed and no code shows up on screen. Anyone who already uses email and a phone can follow the whole evening.
What subjects does the Buffalo evening actually cover?
Replying to customer questions, follow up before somebody moves on, notes turned into quotes and estimates, marketing drafted in batches, less back and forth on scheduling, and the recurring written admin. It also spends real time on what to keep away from these tools, which is pricing, difficult conversations, and anything reputational.
Who runs the Buffalo seminar?
Mike Filsaime does. He spent 25 years building companies and Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar came out of it, and in Buffalo he works the examples live on the screen.
Should I bring an employee to the Buffalo evening?
Many owners do. Two people watching the same work get built means the setup actually gets done back at the shop instead of getting written on a list.
Does the Buffalo seminar end with a sales pitch?
It does not. There is no course, no subscription, and no upsell afterward. You keep your notes and the evening is finished.
Where does the Buffalo evening sit in the wider program?
The Buffalo 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. Same teacher, same demonstrations, same money-back guarantee in every city; the examples change to match the businesses in the room.
