Winning With AI, One Night in Philadelphia
One evening in Philadelphia, in a room, with the work typed out on stage while you watch. Every business in this city runs the same errands no matter what it sells: answering the same questions, chasing the person who went quiet, writing the quote at ten at night, filling the calendar, retyping the same document. That is the subject of the night. Pre-register and the date and the address reach you before they go public.
Coming soon to Philadelphia, PA. The date and venue are not set yet. Pre-register to be the first alerted when they are.

What is the seminar in Philadelphia, PA?
Winning With AI is a live, in person seminar coming to Philadelphia, and it is open to owners, managers, and staff from every kind of small business in the city and the wider Delaware Valley, from a corner shop in Point Breeze to a two person office off Market Street. Mike Filsaime teaches the whole evening: answering customer questions, following up so leads do not go cold, turning notes into quotes and proposals and estimates, producing marketing in batches, cutting the back and forth out of scheduling, and handling routine written admin. Early bird seats are $49 while they last, with a money back guarantee. Nothing is technical, nothing has to be learned first, and nothing is sold once the night ends. A Philadelphia date has not been set, so pre-registration is open.
- One live evening in Philadelphia. In person, in a room, with nothing to stream later.
- Open to any small business in the city or the Delaware Valley, whatever the trade, storefront, or office.
- $49 early bird while seats last. Attend, say before you leave the room that it is not right for you, and the registration fee is refunded.
- Taught in plain language. No coding, no jargon, nothing to study beforehand.
- No course and no subscription afterward. The evening ends and you keep the steps.
- The Philadelphia date is not announced yet. Pre-register and you hear it first.
What does the evening in Philadelphia actually cover?
It is one night in one room in Philadelphia, and the work happens on stage while people watch. Nobody stands up to talk about where AI is heading. Somebody types, and the room sees what comes back.
The jobs on the list belong to every business in the city. A question answered while the customer is still shopping around. A follow up that goes out on the third day whether anybody remembered or not. A page of scribbled notes turned into a quote, an estimate, a proposal. A month of marketing written in one sitting. Six emails about a time collapsed into one. The summaries, checklists, new hire instructions, and standard documents somebody retypes every week.
The other half of the evening is the part to keep away from AI. Pricing judgment stays with you. So does the call with the customer who is upset, and so does anything published with your name attached. The tool drafts, a person decides.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?
$49 early bird while seats last. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and your registration fee is refunded. Nothing else is attached to it.
What squeezes a Philadelphia operation is rarely the rent. It is the hours. The voicemail from Thursday that nobody returned. The estimate written after the kids went to bed. The post that never got written. Four messages to settle one appointment. The same intake sheet typed by hand again.
The evening takes that list apart and shows which parts a tool can carry and which parts still need a person. You walk out with the steps written down, and there is nothing to sign up for after.
Why is this AI seminar built for Philadelphia businesses?
Anyone running a business in Philadelphia or the counties around it can sit in the room. Nothing on the door narrows it to a line of work.
A roofer working off Frankford Avenue. A barbershop on Girard. A BYOB on East Passyunk. A two person bookkeeping office near City Hall. A moving crew based in Port Richmond. A landscaper covering Roxborough and Manayunk. A nonprofit in Germantown. A real estate agent working Fishtown listings. A tire shop on Aramingo. An online seller shipping out of a Kensington garage. A dental office in Mount Airy. A small law office in Old City. Somebody who is the whole company. The paperwork behind all of them is identical.
So the examples on stage are picked to carry across every one of them. Anything that only pays off for a single line of work gets cut from the run of show.
What do Philadelphia attendees walk away with?
- Be the reply that is already sitting there. Most people in this city contact three businesses before they pick one. Setting up fast, accurate answers to the questions you hear over and over means yours is the message waiting when they look at their phone.
- Follow up without relying on memory. A lead from nine days ago is not dead. It is unattended. You will see how to set the follow up once so it keeps going out through a busy week, a slow week, and a week you spend on a job site.
- Scribbled notes into a written quote. A voice note from the driveway or a page of handwriting becomes an estimate, a proposal, or a quote in your own wording. The job that used to wait until after dinner gets done before you pull away.
- Marketing written once, spread over weeks. One idea becomes the emails, the posts, and the offers for the next month. Monday stops starting with a blank page and starts with a batch you approve.
- One message instead of six about a time. Picking an appointment time is the most avoidable back and forth in any small business. There is a plain way to cut it to a single message, and it gets shown start to finish.
- The writing nobody wants to do. Summaries, checklists, instructions for a new hire, the standard document you rebuild every few weeks. It is the dullest stretch of the evening and the one people copy down most carefully.
- The parts that stay yours. Pricing judgment does not move. Neither does the conversation with an unhappy customer, or anything public with your name attached. The evening draws that line clearly and says where it sits.

How does a live seminar compare with free videos and an online course?
| This live seminar | Free online videos | Self-paced AI course | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it happens | A room in Philadelphia, one evening, people you can talk to afterward | Your phone, alone, late at night | A login you stop opening by week three |
| Who is allowed in | Any small business in the city or the Delaware Valley, no filter on trade | Whoever the feed decides to show it to | A national audience and a national example |
| Asking your own question | Out loud, answered the same night | A comment nobody replies to | A forum thread that goes quiet |
| Seeing the work built | Every step on stage, start to finish | Cut down to the part that held attention | Recorded before the tools moved |
| What you owe afterward | Nothing. No course, no subscription | Nothing, and nothing organized either | Usually a monthly charge |
What is Philadelphia, PA actually like?
Philadelphia works block by block. A rowhome street in South Philly does business nothing like Chestnut Hill, and neither one behaves like the towers along Market. In some neighborhoods customers push open the door. In others they text first and never see your face.
What holds across the whole city is the speed people expect. An inquiry that sits until Tuesday is usually an inquiry somebody else already answered. Driving across town through one way blocks to look at a job can eat ninety minutes, so anything that can be settled in writing needs to be settled in writing. The city wage tax means an hour of payroll here costs more than the same hour out in the counties.
The night is built around that. Everything shown is small enough to set up on the El ride home.
How Philadelphia businesses are using AI right now
Plenty of businesses around the city already do some of this, quietly, without help from anybody technical.
A hoagie shop has answers ready for the four questions every caller asks. A caterer in Bella Vista turns a phone conversation into a written quote before the next call starts. A gym in Fairmount writes a month of posts on a Sunday. A one person bookkeeping office turns messy notes into a clean summary and a task list. A cleaning company stopped trading emails about appointment times. A print shop off Callowhill wrote its standard customer instructions once instead of retyping them for every order.
None of that needed a developer, and none of it handed over judgment. Pricing, the difficult call, the public reply: all still done by a person who knows the customer.
Who teaches the Philadelphia seminar?
Mike Filsaime teaches the Philadelphia evening himself. Twenty five years of building companies sits behind it, including Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar.
He is a translator more than a technologist. Hand him something written for engineers and he gives it back in the words a shop owner actually uses.
Nothing gets presented from a distance in Philadelphia. The work is typed where everyone can see the screen, the room interrupts whenever something is unclear, and you copy the steps as they appear.
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.

When is the Winning With AI seminar coming to Philadelphia?
No Philadelphia date is on the calendar yet. You can pre-register on this page, and everyone on that list gets the date and the room ahead of the public announcement, with the early bird price held while seats last.
Where in Philadelphia will the seminar be held?
The room is not confirmed yet. It will be somewhere you can reach from Center City and from the surrounding counties without a long drive, and pre-registered attendees get the address first.
Is the Philadelphia seminar aimed at particular industries?
No. A rowhome contractor, a restaurant on Passyunk, a salon, a gym, a cleaning company, a nonprofit, a dental office, an online seller, a real estate agent, a landscaper, a one person operation. The material is the paperwork every business carries, so what you sell does not change how much of it applies.
How much is a seat at the Philadelphia seminar?
Early bird seats are $49 while they last. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and your registration fee is refunded.
Do I need any computer experience to follow the Philadelphia evening?
No. It is taught in plain language, with no coding and no jargon. If you send email and use a phone, you can follow the whole night.
What gets covered during the Philadelphia seminar?
Answering the questions customers ask, following up so a lead does not quietly go elsewhere, turning notes into quotes and proposals and estimates, producing marketing in batches, taking the back and forth out of picking a time, and routine written admin like summaries, checklists, and standard documents. The evening is equally clear about what to keep away from AI, which is pricing judgment, difficult customer conversations, and anything with your reputation attached.
Who teaches the Philadelphia seminar?
Mike Filsaime runs the evening. His 25 years of building companies covers Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar, and he teaches this without assuming anybody in the room works in software.
Is there anything to buy after the Philadelphia event?
No. One evening, and the steps leave the room with you. Nothing to sign up for, nothing arriving on a card every month.
Can I bring staff from my Philadelphia shop or office?
Yes, and the people doing the typing usually take the most out of it. Every seat is booked separately, so put each name in while the early bird price is still up.
Where does the Philadelphia evening sit in the wider program?
The Philadelphia room is one stop on Winning With AI with Mike Filsaime, 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.
