The Turnkey AI Training Program Built
EXCLUSIVELY
for Chamber of Commerce members
Future-Proof Your Member's Success:
AI Academy Training
How to Make You a Better In Your Business!
Move your members from confusion and overload to "AI-Enabled at Scale" in a single day. Give your business community the Strategic Literacy they need to thrive thru the next decade without pushing buttons or becoming a prompt expert.
The businesses in your community aren't failing because they can't work hard enough. They are falling behind because they're still running operations designed for 2015. The AI Business Academy gives your Chamber the flagship program to change that - in a single, transformative day.
The AI Tidal Wave & AI Anxiety
Your Members Are Drowing.
They Just Don't Know What's Pulling Them Under.
The Chamber Can Help!
The SMB Owner Reality
The 20-year grind that was supposed to get easier never did
Leaky buckets everywhere - leads are falling through cracks, foll0w-ups are forgotten, and opportunities are evaportating
The nagging sense that 'EVERYONE ELSE HAS FIGURED OUT AI' while they're still drawing in manual tasks!
Paralysis from headlines, social posts, and videos screaming about ChatGPT, automation, and the "future of work"
They're not lazy. They're not behind because they don't care. They're overwhelmed because no one has given them a framework that actually makes sense for a business owner - not a designer, writer, programmer, or business automation expert.
The Chamber Reality
And you feel it too!
Programming attendance is declining because "another networking lunch" doesn't cut it anymore.
Members expect modern, relevant, actionable content - and "AI" is the #1 topic they want to know about
You're competing with online groups, consultants, courses, and the endless noise of the Internet
Retention pressure is real: If you cannot demonstrate tangible value, members have a other options
The question isn't whether your Chamber should offer AI training. The question is whether you'll offer the RIGHT KIND - or lose relevance trying to figure it out yourself.
The Chamber Challenge?
As a Chamber Executive, you certainly feel the pressure. Your members may be asking: "How does this help me make payroll on Friday or expand my business?"
You need educational programming that isn't just "educational"- it needs to be transformational. Standard networking mixers aren't enough any more.
You need a turnkey solution that modernizes your membership and fills seats!
INTRODUCING
The AI Business Academy
Future-Proofing Businesses with 1 Day
Executive Certification
This isn't a typical class.
It's an owner and management strategic reset.
The AI Business Academy is a full-day executive bootcamp designed specifically for non-technical business owners - your HVAC contractors, attorneys, financial advisors, chiropractors, and hundreds of other service-based businesses that make your local economy run. .
We guide your members from "Manual Overload to "AI-Enabled Scale" in under 8 hours.
Your members don't need to code AI. They need to leverage it.
We believe in a simple truth: Strategic Literacy > Technical Skill
The Tooling Reality
Think about your relationship with technology currently. We all have computers and use them to run our businesses, address finances, and communicate. But we aren't all programmers or into computer repair. You don't know how to build a computer, yet you leverage the tool daily.
It's the exact same thing with Artifical Intelligence
We teach your members that there's no need to chase technology and instead start directing outcomes. We provide the Abstration Layer: The business owner provides the Logic and the "Professional Soul,"while we teach them how to get a Strategic AI Advisor to handle the technical "plumbing."
The "Full Stack Business" Model
STRATEGIC LITERACY, NOT TECHNICAL TRAINING
We don't teach coding (prompting). We don't chase the lastest shiny AI tool or LLM. We teach business owners how to think about AI as a strategic asset - one that works for them, not the other way around.
A FRAMEWORK, NOT A FAD
Tools are changing daily. ChatGPT today, something else tomorrow. The AI Business Academy teaches a timeless framework - The Full Stack Business - that lets owners evaluate, adopt, and leverage ANY methodology or tool strategically.
CERTIFICATION THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Attendees leave with a personalized AI roadmap, practical skills they can implement the enxt day, and a certification that signals they've made a leap to modern operations.
Stop the "Shiny Object" Chase
Here's what we tell every business owner on Day One: Chasing rapidly changing technology will not grow your business...It will exhaust you and waste money.
The goal is not to become an AI expert. The goal is to leverage AI to direct outcomes - more leads, better iteration, efficient operations - while someone else handles the technical plumbing.
That's the difference between working in AI and having AI work for you.
The Full-Stack Business Model
Three Pillars. One Integrated Approach. Infinite Leverage.
Every business, regardless of industry, runs on three core pillars. The AI Business Academy teaches ownes how to AI-enable each one --- without turning into a technican.
Pillar 1: THE VAULT (Your Data)
WHAT IS?
The foundation of the business. We teach members how to organize their intellectual property, past successes, and institutional knowledge so AI can access it.
THE PROBLEM?
Most SMBs have their data scattered across sticky notes, email threads, and the owner's memory
THE AI OPPORTUNITY?
A properly structured Vault becomes the foundation that AI needs to actually help you. Without it, AI is just guessing. With it, AI becomes your insitutional memory that never forgets, never sleeps, never goes on vacation, and never quits.
Pillar 2: THE VOICE (Your Brand & Communication Engine)
WHAT IS?
AI may sound robotic when it lacks a soul. We help owners think about their unique tone and style, ensuring automated interactions have a human authenticity.
THE PROBLEM?
Most owners are stuck in 'random acts of marketing.' Social posts when they remember. Follow-ups when there's time. A brand voice that changes depending upon who's sending the email.
THE AI OPPORTUNITY?
Your voice becomes a template AI uses to communicate AS YOU - consistently, at sale, 24/7. Your personality, your expertise, your professional soul - amplified rather than replaced.
Pillar 3: THE MACHINE (Your Logic)
WHAT IS?
The machine is how your business actually operates. Identifying your workflows, decision-making processes, and your operational logic that turns leads into customers.
THE PROBLEM?
Many SMBs run on their owner's brain. Critical workflows and decisions flow through a single person. The business cannot scale because it cannot run with them. It may suit the ego but not the bank account and certainly not competitive survivability.
THE AI OPPORTUNITY?
When the Machine is documented your rules, logic, and processes AI can execute the routine so you can handle what's needed. The owner provides the "logic"of how the business should run. AI executes the labor.
Lessons Learned
The 4th Technology Revolution
APPLYING THE
TOP 8 SMB LESSONS LEARNED
Timing Matters - Don't wait for perfection, but don't chase a revolution or fad. Move when there is clear practical value and industry standard!
Follow Customers - SMBs that are attached to channels (refusing websites, ignoring mobile, and avoiding social) gradually become invisible to customers. Think responsive and present to match customer expectations.
Tech over hires - The most successful SMBs identify repeitive tasks and automate them. Simulate scale and decouple growth from headcount.
Differentiation is essential - Competitive advantage must move beyond technology to delivering unique value, exceptional service, or deeper customer relationships.
Resistance is futile & adoption essential - Dismissing shifts as "not for us" or "too complex" lose ground. Ask - "How do we make this work for us?"
Fix and then Adopt - Technology amplifies process; it doesn't fix it. Map workflows and ask: "When we add this tool, what steps can we remove?"
Solve Boring Problems - If tech doesn't directly reduce your "Cost to Service or "Time to Deliver" it is a distraction. Look for 'unsexy efficiency'.
Data Land Grab - Am I becoming dependent or stronger? Defend your relationships, expertise, brand rather than becoming a commodity or someone elses platform.

Post-Academy Business Analysis
This Program has a real impact....ai is here and it is for real
Real Results. No Hype.
We do not deal in theory. We deal in tangible operational victories.
Here's what AI-enabled opoerations actually delivers...
Win #1: The "Leaky Bucket" Fix (AI Receptionist)
PROBLEM: A member was missing 40% of their inbound calls (on the other line or away from the phone)
TRAINING: Implement AI Voice Receptionist (covered in "The Vault" section)
RESULT: 90% reduction in missed opportunity cost and 24/7 meeting setting capability.
Win #2: Local Visibility
PROBLEM: Unable to advance rank on Google Map (GMB) thus losing business to competitors.
TRAINING: AI-driven updates and review management
RESULT: 16% increase in map conversions (calls and directions) within 30 days
WIN #3: Increase in Lead-to-Appointment Conversion
PROBLEM: 80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups. Most SMBs give up after 1-2 attempts. Leads die not due to lack of interest but lack of follow-up.
TRAINING: Implement AI-nurture sequences to ensure every lead gets consistent, personalized follow-up. Texts, emails, and calls - timed perfectly - without requiring the owner's involvement (covered in 'The Machine' section).
RESULT: Move from a 5% to 30% conversion rate which means a 6x in customers!
The Compound Effect
These are NOT isolated wins. When you combine:
> No more missed calls
> Optimizing GMB driving more business
> A nurture system converting more leads
> Content atomization building the pipeline
> Extensive time savings!
You don't get incremental improvements. You get EXPONETIAL TRANSFORMATION.
EXCLUSIVE: LIMITED AVAILABILITY
To protect our Chamber partners, we are limiting AI Business Academy to Chambers that are no closer than 20 miles from one another. If your neighboring Chamber moves first, you'll be locked out of offering this program.
Don't wait until your members ask why the Chamber next door has better programming!
For Chamber Executives Only

We know that Non-Dues Revenue is the lifeblood of a thriving Chamber. The AI Business Academy is designed to be a high-value, revenue-generating flagship event.
WHY THIS PROGRAM WINS
THE MEMBER VALUE PROBLEM
Your members are asking about AI. They see the headlines. They feel the pressure. They want guidance. But most Chambers are stuck offering the same programming they've run for years-networking events, ribbon cutting, legislative updates, etc.
THE PROGRAMMING GAP
You know you need to modernize. But who has the time to develop an entirely new curriculum? Who has the experience and expertise? Who takes the risk if it flops?
THE TURKEY SOLUTION
The AI Business Academy is a complete, ready-to-go program. We bring the curriculum, the instructor, the materials, the credibility. You bring the venue (we even do this if online) and your members. We SHARE the success.
