Chicago AI Business Network

You can have the best service in Chicago and still hear nothing back. Usually the problem isn't the service. It's that there's no easy first step for someone who isn't ready to buy. In this hands-on workshop you build the small free offer that starts the relationship: the checklist, guide or mini-audit people are happy to trade their email for. You'll draft yours during the session, with ChatGPT doing the typing. Your host: Danyal from the Bridges Network.

What we'll cover:
• What makes someone hand over an email address, and what makes them close the tab
• Five offer types that work for service businesses, and which one fits yours
• Picking the topic from questions your clients already ask you
• Drafting the whole thing with ChatGPT in about 20 minutes
• Where to put it so people actually see it, and how to tell within a week if it's working

Who it's for: business owners, consultants, freelancers and service providers in the Chicago area. No sales or tech experience needed.

Bring: a laptop and the question your clients ask you most.

Where: Google Meet. The link appears here once you RSVP "Going." 60 minutes, no cost.

A landing page has one job: get one person to take one action. Most pages fail because they try to do five. In this hands-on workshop we walk through the six blocks every landing page needs, in order, and you write yours during the session with ChatGPT. No web design, no developer. Your host: Danyal from the Bridges Network.

What we'll cover:
• The six blocks, in order: headline, promise, proof, what they get, objections, the button
• Writing a headline about the reader instead of about your business
• What to cut: usually your company history and half the adjectives
• Button text people actually click
• Three ways to add proof when you don't have testimonials yet
• Getting the page live this week without building a website

Who it's for: business owners, consultants, freelancers and service providers in the Chicago area. No sales or tech experience needed.

Bring: a laptop and the one thing you want visitors to do.

Where: Google Meet. The link appears here once you RSVP "Going." 60 minutes, no cost.

How we brought in 256 paying customers in 90 days with an AI sales funnel that runs while we sleep, broken down step by step for solopreneurs and small business owners. The real system, the real numbers, and the AI tools behind every step.

Most owners get clients the hard way: referrals, cold outreach, chasing people who went quiet. It works until you get busy, and then the pipeline dries up. An automated funnel fixes that. AI now writes the pages, the emails, the ads and the follow-up, so new customers keep coming in whether you are on a call, on vacation or asleep.

This session shows you how to build one.

What we cover:
• What a sales funnel actually is, in plain English, and the one you are probably already running without knowing it
• How to get clients on autopilot: the follow-up sequence that turns strangers into buyers without you chasing anyone
• The low-ticket first offer: why a small first purchase beats a free lead magnet, and how it pays for your ads
• The 90-day breakdown: the offer, the price, the traffic and the AI-written pages and emails behind 256 customers
• Where AI does the heavy lifting: copy, landing pages, email sequences, ad variations and lead scoring, and the tools we use for each
• A simple template to map your own automated funnel before the call ends

Who it's for: solopreneurs, freelancers, consultants, coaches, agency owners and small business owners who sell a product or service and want customers coming in every week without chasing them. No marketing background needed. If you already run funnels, you will leave with the AI workflow that cut our build time by 80 percent.

Bring: a notebook and one offer you sell, or want to sell, for under $100.

Where: online. The link appears here once you RSVP "Going." About 60 minutes including Q&A, no cost.

This is a Bridges Network event, hosted across all of our city groups at once. Because of the size of the audience, it runs as a one-to-many presentation with a Q&A session at the end. Attendee microphones will stay off; questions go through the chat and we answer as many as we can.

There will be an offer made at the end of the session for those who want to go deeper. You do not need to buy anything to get the full strategy. Everything described above is covered before the offer.
