What is the seminar in Burlington, VT?
Winning With AI is a live, in person seminar coming to Burlington, and every kind of small business owner in the city and the surrounding towns can take a seat. A shop on Church Street, a contractor working the New North End, a restaurant in the South End, a salon in Winooski, a landscaper covering Shelburne and Williston, a bookkeeping office in Essex Junction, a gym, a cleaning company, a dental office, a nonprofit, a real estate agent, and a one person online seller all belong there. Mike Filsaime teaches it. The evening moves through customer questions answered before a sale, follow up on leads, notes turned into quotes and proposals, marketing produced in batches, scheduling settled quickly, and routine written admin. He also draws the line: pricing judgment, difficult customer conversations, and anything reputational stay away from AI. Early bird seats are $49 while they last, with a money back guarantee. No code appears on screen, no jargon is used, no experience is needed, and nothing is sold when it ends. The Burlington date is not set, so pre-registration is open.

What does the evening in Burlington actually cover?
Winning With AI is a live build, not a lecture. Mike Filsaime does the work on screen while the room watches at a pace that can be copied down.
The subject is the writing a business does: the question a customer sends before choosing where to spend, the follow up on a lead nobody got back to, notes from a site visit turned into an estimate, a season of emails and posts written in one sitting, the eight message exchange about a time, and the checklists and instructions retyped for every new hire.
The room is also told what to keep away from AI. Pricing judgment is yours. The call with an upset customer is yours. Anything that gets published with your name on it gets read by you before it goes out.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Burlington, Vermont?
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.
Business here is seasonal. Summer and foliage bring the visitors, students arrive in late August and leave in May, and the quieter stretch in between is when the paperwork is supposed to get done. It usually does not.
One evening clears the backlog off the desk. The work that needs a person stays with the person, and you leave with notes and nothing owed.
Why is this AI seminar built for Burlington businesses?
The evening is built for Burlington, not for one industry. A carpenter working Shelburne remodels, a coffee shop off Church Street, a barber in Winooski, a landscaper covering Colchester and Essex, a two person accounting office in South Burlington, a climbing gym in the South End, a cleaning company under contract downtown, a dental office on Shelburne Road, a nonprofit in the Old North End, a real estate agent working Chittenden County, a bike shop, and someone packing online orders out of a garage in Williston.
Sit any two of them down and the same four things come up: quotes, replies, follow ups, forms.
That is why the examples have to work across trades. If something only helps one kind of business, it stays off the screen.
What do Burlington attendees walk away with?
- Answer while they are still deciding. Burlington customers ask two or three places and go with whoever gets back to them. Your common answers, written in advance, go out while you are still on a job.
- Follow up that keeps running. A lead that went quiet is not a lost one. You watch a follow up get built one time, and it keeps working while you are out of the office.
- Site notes to estimate, same visit. Speak the job details into your phone before you pull out of the driveway, then read back a quote in your own wording instead of writing it at ten at night.
- A season of promotions at one sitting. Write a season of promotions at one sitting, then read them, fix what is wrong, and schedule the lot before you close the laptop.
- Stop the scheduling back and forth. Agreeing on a time is the most wasteful exchange in a small business, and worse when the customer is forty minutes down Route 7. A shorter method gets shown live.
- What to keep away from it. Pricing judgment, a customer who is angry, anything published under your name. The room gets that straight, and gets the 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 Burlington room of other owners | Your phone at midnight | A tab you stopped opening |
| Who it is for | Any small business in the area | Whoever got the clip | A national audience |

| What you leave with | Written steps, nothing owed | A watch history | A monthly charge |
What is Burlington, VT actually like?
Burlington is a small city that serves a large area. Customers drive in from Winooski, Essex, Colchester, Shelburne, and Williston, and a job in Middlebury or St. Albans means a long drive on Route 7 or I-89 before any work starts.
Winter is long here and the roads slow everything down from December through March. Spring turns the dirt roads soft, and the drive to a job in the hills takes what it takes. Whatever can be handled in writing is better handled before anyone starts the truck.
So the material is limited to things you can set up yourself on a laptop, with no software purchase and no outside help.
How Burlington businesses are using AI right now
A fair number of Burlington businesses already work this way, and most of the owners doing it do not think of it as technology.
A two person excavation outfit in Colchester used to write estimates at the kitchen table after nine. Now the site notes get spoken into a phone before leaving the property, and the quote comes back in the owner's own wording, checked and sent the same hour. A cafe near Church Street keeps its standard answers on file, so a question that lands at eleven at night gets a reply at eleven at night. A shop manager in the South End wrote the opening checklist once and has not touched it since. A two person design studio in Winooski wrote a quarter of emails in one afternoon.
No consultant, no software project, no budget line. One evening, and a decision about the two or three things worth doing first.
Who teaches the Burlington seminar?
The evening is taught by Mike Filsaime, whose 25 years in business include building Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar.
His strength is breaking a problem that looks complicated into steps an owner can follow without any technical training. No jargon, and no theory that never meets a real business.
In Burlington he works through those steps in plain language, answers questions from the room, and sticks to examples an owner can put in place alone.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
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.
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.

The venue is not confirmed. It will be somewhere with parking and a straightforward drive from Winooski, Essex, Colchester, and South Burlington, and pre-registered attendees get the address first.
