What is the seminar in Charleston, SC?
Winning With AI is a live, in person seminar coming to Charleston, South Carolina, and small business owners of every type across the Lowcountry can take a seat. A restaurant on upper King Street, a contractor working West Ashley, a salon in Mount Pleasant, a landscaper covering James Island and Johns Island, a two person bookkeeping office in North Charleston, a gym, a cleaning company, a dental office, a law office, a nonprofit, a real estate agent, and someone shipping orders alone from Summerville all belong in the same room. Mike Filsaime leads the evening. He covers six things, all of them writing: customer questions answered before a sale, follow up on leads, notes turned into quotes and proposals, marketing produced in batches, scheduling without the long thread, and routine written admin. He is as clear about what AI should not touch, meaning pricing judgment, difficult customer conversations, and anything reputational. Early bird seats are $49 while they last, with a money back guarantee. There is no code, no jargon, no experience required, and no course or subscription offered afterward. The Charleston date is not set, so pre-registration is open.
- One live evening in Charleston, in person, over and done in a single night.
- Open to small businesses of every kind: 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 outfits.
- $49 early bird while seats last. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before leaving the room and the registration fee is refunded.
- Plain English throughout. No code, no jargon, and nothing to install beforehand.
- Nothing is sold when it ends. No course, no subscription, no program.
- The Charleston date is not announced. Pre-register and the date, time, and venue come to you first.
What does the evening in Charleston actually cover?
Winning With AI is a working evening rather than a talk. Mike Filsaime builds each piece live on screen, slowly enough for the room to write it down.
The subject is the written work every business carries: the question a customer sends before deciding where to spend, the follow up on a lead that has gone cold, site notes turned into an estimate, months of emails and posts written in one sitting, the eight message exchange about a time, and the forms, checklists, and new hire instructions typed over again.
There is also a list of work to keep away from AI. What you charge is your judgment. The conversation with an angry customer is yours. Anything going out in public with your name on it gets your eyes before it ships.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Charleston, South Carolina?
A seat is $49 during early bird. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
Charleston does not give a small business a slow month to catch up. Tourist season fills the peninsula, hurricane season runs June through November, and a high tide can close a road you needed. The writing keeps sliding to nine at night, and some of it never happens.
One evening moves that pile. The parts that need your judgment stay with you, and you go home with written notes and nothing owed.
Why is this AI seminar built for Charleston businesses?
The evening is built for Charleston, not for one line of work. A framer on a Johns Island build, a breakfast spot in West Ashley, a barber on Coleman Boulevard, a landscaper running Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant, a bookkeeping office in North Charleston, a gym on James Island, a cleaning company handling downtown rentals, a dental office in Summerville, a nonprofit on the peninsula, a real estate agent working Folly Road, a boat repair shop, and someone packing orders in a spare bedroom.
Ask any two of those owners what eats their time and the list matches: quotes, replies, follow ups, forms.
So the examples have to hold up across trades. Anything that only works for one kind of business does not make the screen.
What do Charleston attendees walk away with?
- Reply before the other two do. Charleston customers call three places and hire the one who gets back to them. Common answers written ahead of time go out while you are still on the job.
- A follow up you build one time. A lead that went quiet is still a lead. You watch a follow up get set up once, and it runs while you are across a bridge.
- Notes at the curb, quote out. Talk the job details into your phone before you leave the property, then read back an estimate in your own wording instead of typing it at ten.
- Weeks of marketing in one pass. A single detail about your customers turns into weeks of posts, emails, and offers that you approve in one pass.
- Kill the scheduling thread. Getting to a time is the most wasteful exchange in a small business, and worse when the job is over the Ravenel. A shorter way gets shown in the room.
- Where AI does not belong. Pricing judgment, an angry customer, anything published with your name on it. The room hears that plainly, with reasons.

How does a live seminar compare with free videos and an online course?
| This live seminar | Free online videos | Self-paced AI course | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The setting | A Charleston room of other owners | Your phone at midnight | A tab you stopped opening |
| Who it is for | Any Lowcountry small business | Whoever got the clip | A national audience |
| Your own question | Asked out loud, settled that night | Left in a comment | Posted in a forum |
| What you leave with | Written steps, nothing owed | A watch history | A monthly charge |
What is Charleston, SC actually like?
Charleston is spread across water. The peninsula, West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Mount Pleasant, and North Charleston are separate places joined by bridges, and the crossing is what costs the time.
I-26 and I-526 carry most of the working traffic, and the Ravenel Bridge carries the rest. Add a cruise ship, a wedding weekend downtown, or a king tide over Lockwood Drive and the same trip takes twice as long. Anything you can settle in writing is worth settling before you cross a bridge.
Everything shown that night is something an owner can put in place alone, without buying software or bringing in a consultant.
How Charleston businesses are using AI right now
This is already common around Charleston, and most of the owners doing it would not describe it as anything technical.
A two truck HVAC outfit in West Ashley used to type estimates at the kitchen table at ten at night. Now the notes get spoken into a phone in the driveway and come back as a quote in the owner's own wording, checked and sent before leaving the street. A restaurant on Meeting Street keeps its standard replies ready, so a question that lands at midnight gets a response at midnight. A salon manager in Mount Pleasant wrote the opening checklist once and has not written it again. A two person agency on Daniel Island produced a quarter of emails in an afternoon.
No consultant, no project, no line item. One evening, and a decision about the first two or three things to set up.
Who teaches the Charleston seminar?
Mike Filsaime leads the Charleston evening. He has 25 years of building companies behind him, Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar among them.
He is known for taking a problem that looks complicated and reducing it to steps an owner can run without a technical background. No jargon, and nothing that stays theoretical.
In Charleston he goes through those steps in plain English, takes questions from the floor, and keeps the examples to things an owner here can do alone.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
I had no coding experience. No technical background. Nothing. After seeing how to use AI in plain English, I built software and workflows that completely changed my company.
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.
