AI for Networking & Sales

Four focused hours. Three working AI tools. Real follow-ups sent before lunch.

A hands-on workshop for sales professionals, advisors, and business owners. Not a lecture about what AI could do. You build the tools at your own keyboard and use them the same afternoon.

Why This Matters

How many of your last ten conversations turned into something?

How many real conversations at your last event?

How many were worth a follow-up?

How many got one within 24 hours?

If the answer to the third one is fewer than you'd like, you are not alone.

44^%

of salespeople give up after the first follow-up.

60^%

of recipients want a follow-up within 24 hours of meeting.

This is where deals quietly die.

First contact. First meeting. Then the gap. Follow-up call. Second meeting. Proposal. Contract. Most professionals never make it past the gap.

This workshop rebuilds the gap. You leave with a follow-up workflow that takes 90 seconds. Every meeting gets one. Every time.

What You Walk Out With

Three working tools. Built in the room. Proven with real attendees.

Every tool you build is something you use within 24 hours of leaving. If it cannot do real work Tuesday afternoon, it does not belong in the curriculum.

A business-card-to-email tool that lives on your phone

Snap a photo of any card, add a sentence of context, and a polished follow-up email comes back in your voice. You send three before lunch. In the May 12 workshop, two attendees received real replies before the morning ended.

A pre-meeting brief and branded leave-behind

Two documents from one Claude conversation. A polished one-pager the prospect keeps, designed in your brand. A private prep brief only you see. Both run through a discernment check so you trust what you send.

A close-the-deal tool you design yourself

The post-meeting move that turns a conversation into business: follow-up call, second meeting, proposal, contract, whatever your close looks like. You build this one through a guided conversation with Claude. That is the AI fluency that compounds.

From the Room

What attendees say, in their own words.

In just four hours, I gained AI skills that immediately saved me hours of work. I used what I learned to automate 35 personalized fundraising flyers and a full set of fundraising letters, tasks that normally take half a day, completed in minutes.

Donna Bergle Fundraising & Development Manager, Lake County nonprofit

I did not think AI was for me. I fell into the category of people that were afraid of AI. I left Jesse Weiler's workshop with a smile on my face, 2 pre-built USEFUL tools, and a tool I have only scratched the surface of creating myself.

Desiree VanDyke

I thought I was an AI expert. I was not. I've been using the surface level stuff. Prompts. Content. Basic automation. Thought that was enough. It is not even close to enough. Got humbled in the best way possible.

Jake Dermer

I went in looking for help with post-networking follow-up, and I left with tools that have completely elevated how I connect, communicate, and prepare for meetings. My follow-up is more thoughtful and effective, and responses are coming in.

Why This Is Different

Small by design, not by accident.

10 seats. Period.

The cap is the product. Every attendee gets meaningful attention, and no one falls behind.

In-person only.

Real keyboards, real coffee, real accountability. You cannot phone this in.

The send-it rule.

You leave with work that is done. Three real follow-up emails go out before lunch.

The Morning

Four focused hours. No fluff.

9:15 AM

Module 1: Land the meeting

Build a Claude Project on your phone and send three real follow-up emails to three real people from cards in your wallet. Sent, not drafted.

10:15 AM

Module 2: Win the meeting

A pre-meeting brief and a polished, branded leave-behind from one Claude workflow. The prospect keeps a one-pager. You get the inside view.

11:15 AM

Module 3: Close the deal

Design and build your own Claude Project for the post-meeting close. Whatever turns a conversation into business in your world: follow-up call, second meeting, proposal, contract. You design the Custom Instructions with Claude. That is the AI fluency that compounds.

Jesse Weiler

Founder, Suite 25 Consulting

Jesse uses Claude every day in his own client work: follow-ups, proposals, marketing strategy, campaign analysis. He teaches the workflows he actually uses to close deals, not what AI vendors say will. 20 plus years in digital marketing through Suite 25 Consulting.

One more thing: Jesse once walked 3,562 miles across America from Los Angeles to New Jersey on foot. If he tells you four hours is enough to change how you sell, take him at his word.

Common Questions

The things people ask before they book.

What is your privacy posture on what we paste into Claude?

Anthropic does not train its models on Pro chat content by default and does not sell your data. We work with business cards, public LinkedIn profiles, and public web research throughout the morning. Anyone in a regulated industry (legal, financial advising, healthcare) gets a privacy and compliance briefing as part of the morning, with a one-page reference document for your records.

I am new to AI. Will I be lost?

No. The workshop assumes zero prior AI experience. We start at the beginning, work in plain language, and stay together as a group. The 10-seat cap exists precisely so no one falls behind.

How much prep do I need to do before the workshop?

About 30 to 60 minutes in the week before. After you book, you receive a short Pre-Workshop Prep Worksheet that captures your offer, your ideal client, and a few brand assets (logo, primary color, tagline). The reason it matters: when you sit down at 8:30 AM, every tool we build has your voice, your offer, and your brand on it. The prep is the difference between leaving with generic templates and leaving with finished, branded assets you can use that afternoon. Plan on returning the worksheet a few days before June 23.

Do I need a Claude Pro account?

Yes, and we will help you sign up if you do not have one. Plan on roughly $20 for the first month, which Anthropic charges directly. Bring it on the day of the workshop and you are ready.

Will this work for my industry?

This first workshop is built around sales, networking, and client-facing relationship work. If you sell, network, or close in person, the tools translate directly. Vertical-specific workshops (financial planners, lawyers, real estate, marketers) are coming throughout the year.
