Rapid City, Winning With AI, Every Business Welcome
August fills the calendar and February empties it, and the paperwork never notices either way. An estimate promised on a Custer County job is still in a notebook. Seven messages came in over the weekend. That is the material for one live evening in Rapid City, worked through on a screen the back row can read. Get on the pre-registration list and the Rapid City date reaches you first.
Coming soon to Rapid City, SD. The date and venue are not set yet. Pre-register to be the first alerted when they are.

What is the seminar in Rapid City, SD?
Winning With AI is a live, in person evening coming to Rapid City, and it is open to owners of every kind of small business across the Black Hills, with no trade favored over another. What gets handled is the written side of the work: answering the questions customers send, following up while somebody is still deciding, turning notes from a job into a quote or estimate they can read, writing a stretch of marketing all at once, cutting the messages it takes to pin down a time, and the standing admin of summaries, checklists, instructions, and documents you rewrite constantly. The evening gives equal room to what should never touch these tools, which is setting a price, handling somebody who is upset, and anything that goes out publicly under your name. Mike Filsaime teaches the room. He built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar over 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 no course or subscription waiting when it ends. Rapid City has no date on the calendar yet, so pre-registration is what is open on this page.
- One live evening in Rapid City, in person, with no recording.
- Every kind of small business in the Black Hills area is welcome.
- $49 early bird while seats last, refunded if it is not right for you.
- Everything gets said plainly, and nothing needs installing first.
- Nothing is sold afterward. No program, no monthly charge.
- The Rapid City date is open. Pre-register to hear it first.
What does the evening in Rapid City actually cover?
What happens on the screen is the entire presentation. No deck, no printout, just the steps built live in a Rapid City room at copying speed.
The examples are the pile you already have. A question that came in at ten on a Saturday during rally week. A caller from Spearfish who never got called back. Numbers written down at a job in Hill City that still have to become an estimate. Emails and posts for the next month, untouched. New hire instructions, retyped for the third season in a row.
Then the evening turns the other way for a while. Pricing is yours. The reply to someone threatening a review is yours. Anything that goes out publicly in the business name is yours. The tool gets you a draft and no further.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Rapid City, South Dakota?
Seats are $49 early bird while they last, and if the evening turns out wrong for you, say so before you leave and the registration fee is refunded.
Effort is not the problem in this town. The calendar is. Summer arrives all at once, rally week doubles everything for ten days, and then winter goes quiet enough that cash flow depends on how well you followed up in October.
So the writing gets pushed to whichever hour is left. This evening takes that typing off you and leaves every judgment call in place. You leave with the steps in your notebook and nothing hanging over you.
Why is this AI seminar built for Rapid City businesses?
Nobody in the room gets grouped by trade. A storefront on Main Street, a crew that drives out to Custer, a two person office off Omaha Street, all one evening.
A framing crew working Box Elder. A restaurant downtown. A barber on Mount Rushmore Road. A landscaping outfit covering Canyon Lake and Robbinsdale. A bookkeeper near Rushmore Crossing. A gym in North Rapid. A cleaning company running Sturgis and Piedmont. A dental office off Fifth Street. A nonprofit downtown. An agent listing in Hill City. A repair shop on East North Street. Somebody shipping orders out of a shed in Black Hawk. The writing looks the same in each of them.
That is the standard for what gets shown. If it only fits one type of business, it stays off the agenda.
What do Rapid City attendees walk away with?
- Replies that go out in season. During the busy stretch the questions pile up faster than anyone can type. Written answers get prepared once and go out the same day.
- Follow up through the slow months. Winter work usually comes from somebody you talked to in August. The follow up gets built in the room and keeps running on its own.
- Notebook numbers into an estimate. What you wrote down at a job near Hill City comes back as a written estimate the customer can read, in your own wording.
- A whole season of marketing at once. The posts and emails that keep not happening get drafted in one block, then cut back until they sound like your business.
- Booking without the message chain. Nailing down one appointment should not take a day and a half of texts. That gets rebuilt on screen while you watch.
- Standard documents built one time. Checklists, summaries, seasonal hire instructions, the form you rewrite every year. Each one done properly once.
- What the tool never touches. Pricing, angry customers, and anything with your name on it in public. The line gets drawn early and the reasoning gets explained.

What is Rapid City, SD actually like?
Rapid City sits where the plains run into the Black Hills, with I-90 crossing the top of it, Highway 16 climbing toward Keystone, and Highway 79 heading south toward Hot Springs.
The year here has two shapes. From Memorial Day through the rally the phone does not stop and every hour is booked, then the season turns and the same phone barely rings. Customers may be forty minutes up a canyon road, and in January that same drive is a different proposition. Anything you can finish in writing from a phone in a lot at Main Street Square gives you back part of a day.
That shapes the whole evening. Nothing on screen asks you to buy past the phone and laptop you already own.
How Rapid City businesses are using AI right now
None of this is a preview. Businesses around the Hills are already running parts of it, mostly without anybody technical on the payroll.
A guided tour operator stopped losing weekend inquiries during peak season, because the ten questions every visitor asks now have written answers ready to send in one message. A supper club off Highway 16 that posted whenever the owner had a minute now drafts a month of specials and emails in a single afternoon. A two person title office wrote its client instructions properly once and quit rebuilding them each spring. A small engine repair shop in Box Elder keeps prepared written answers for the calls that come in every week from May to September.
The pattern does not vary much. Typing came off the week, and every decision stayed put. Pricing, the tough conversation, and anything public remain the owner's job.
Who teaches the Rapid City seminar?
Before he taught any of this, Mike Filsaime put in 25 years building companies, and that run produced Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar.
He teaches in plain English, meaning nothing gets shortened to initials and nothing gets assumed about your background. When a step can be performed instead of described, he performs it on the screen.
In Rapid City that means the backlog on screen looks like one from around here, and it gets worked through live with the room asking questions as it goes.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
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.
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.

What do people in Rapid City ask about the seminar?
When is the Winning With AI seminar coming to Rapid City?
No date is on the calendar yet. Pre-registering on this page puts you on the list that gets the Rapid City date and venue first, with early bird pricing held while seats last.
Where in Rapid City will the evening be held?
The room has not been booked yet. It will be close to downtown with parking that does not cost you anything but a short walk, and pre-registered people get the address first.
Is the Rapid City seminar only for certain kinds of businesses?
No. The evening is open to 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. All of them are staring at the same pile of writing.
What does a seat at the Rapid City seminar cost?
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 the registration fee is refunded.
Is there any technical requirement for the Rapid City evening?
None. No code shows up on screen and nobody speaks in initials. Using email and a phone is enough to follow every part of it.
What subjects does the Rapid City evening cover?
Answering customer questions, following up before somebody hires elsewhere, notes into quotes and estimates, marketing drafted in batches, less back and forth on scheduling, and the recurring written admin. A separate section covers what to keep away from these tools: pricing, hard conversations, and anything reputational.
Who is teaching in Rapid City?
Mike Filsaime. He spent 25 years building companies including Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar, and in Rapid City he does the examples on screen instead of talking about them.
Can I bring a seasonal employee to the Rapid City evening?
Owners often bring somebody and it pays off. Two people watching the same work get built means the setup happens back at the shop instead of landing on a list.
Is anything sold when the Rapid City seminar ends?
Nothing at all. There is no course, no subscription, and nothing offered on the way out. Your notes are what you take home.
Where does the Rapid City evening sit in the wider program?
The Rapid City room is one stop on Winning With AI, 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.
