The free live marketing workshop from Notebook of a COO: an owner standing with his arms crossed while his team works at their desks, the city skyline behind them
Free live workshop Every business welcome Mon Oct 5 · 10am to 12pm PST

Stop the AI slop.

Your team is not the problem. Replacing them with AI is. Two hours on using AI to make the people you already have faster and sharper, in marketing, in sales and in looking after the customers you have. No pitch, no catch.

Let's be clear about one thing

This is a workshop, not a webinar.

No 55 minutes of fluff and a pitch at the end. No secret system you have to buy. Just two focused hours of what AI should and should not touch in your business, taught plainly, that you can use immediately. If you leave without something you can do this week, we did it wrong.

The workshop

Three jobs. One line.

Every business does three jobs, however many people are on the payroll: getting found, getting the yes, and keeping the customers you already have. We go through all three in two hours, and you draw one line through them: what AI drafts, what a person decides, and what AI never touches.

Stop the AI Slop

Walk in with AI that sounds like everybody. Walk out with a line your team can hold.

  • The slop test: how to tell in ten seconds whether AI wrote something your customer will not trust, and the three tells that give it away every time
  • Getting found: AI drafts from your brand and your proof, never from thin air, and a person signs it before it goes out
  • Getting the yes: AI preps the call and drafts the follow up, a person sends it, and nobody negotiates with a machine
  • Keeping them: AI notices who went quiet and what they bought, a person makes the contact, because a complaint is never answered by a robot
  • The Human Line: the one page that says what AI drafts, what you decide and what AI never touches, filled in for your own business before you leave

What you leave with

Tactics, not theory.

The session is built to hand you something you can use the same afternoon.

01

The Human Line

Your one page: what AI drafts, what a human decides, and what AI never touches, across all three jobs. Filled in during the session, on your own business.

02

Your first specialist

The prompt that turns one AI assistant into a team, written in the room for the job you pick. Yours to keep, and it runs the same afternoon.

03

A reply promise you can keep

The follow up rule that beats businesses paying more than you, and the fifteen minutes a day that holds it up.

Questions

The honest FAQ.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no trial, nothing to buy. It is free because it is the best introduction to how we think about running a business.

Is this going to tell me to replace my staff?

The opposite. The whole session is about the work AI should hand to your people instead of doing badly in their place. If you came looking for a way to cut headcount, this is the wrong workshop.

Is there a pitch at the end?

No. That is the whole point of calling it a workshop. We will point you to a free resource if you want to go deeper, but there is nothing for sale here.

Do I have to attend live?

Live is best, that is where the Q&A happens. But the session is recorded and the replay is sent to everyone who registers.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can type a message you can do everything in this session. We use the tools you already have, and nothing here needs a developer, a subscription or a new system.

How long is the workshop?

Two hours, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST, including live Q&A.
