Three practical uses
Where AI earns its place
Quote wording
What's included, what isn't, and access notes, in your usual style.
The rule: wording only. Prices come from your price list.
Replies to enquiries
First replies that ask the right questions for your trade, so you're not ringing back for the basics.
The rule: the fewest details you can, never full names or addresses.
Chasing invoices
Polite, firm reminders that sound like you.
The rule: keep it short and quote the invoice number.
Session formats
Pick how you'd like to learn it
Small group course
£197 a person
Four Tuesday evenings, 7:30pm to 9pm, up to ten trade owners working on their own quotes and enquiries. Runs once six have booked; if it doesn't, you get your money back.
Suits owners happy to learn alongside other trades.
One-to-one
£250
Two hours on your own phone or laptop, working on your own jobs.
Suits one job you want sorted, like quote wording or chasing invoices.
Private course
£695 for up to three
The same four sessions, online at times that suit you. One price for one, two or three people.
Suits you with a business partner or a friend in the trade.
Team half day
£750
Half a day for whoever handles quotes and enquiries, with clear rules on what goes into AI and what stays out.
Suits a team that shares the quotes and enquiries.
How group bookings work
Each group has a go-ahead date, shown before you pay. A group runs once six people have booked. If six haven't booked by the go-ahead date, I refund your £197 within 14 days of that date, the same way you paid. Or, if you'd rather not wait, you can switch to the private course for you and up to two others by paying the difference: £498, so £695 in total. Each evening is recorded for the people in that group only.
I'm not VAT registered, so there's no VAT to add.

Done for you, alongside your job software
If you'd rather not learn it, I set the AI side up with your job software: saved instructions that draft quote wording and first replies in your words, ready on your phone. Priced with the rest of the set-up, fixed before I start.
Van Note Quotes
Once you've parked after a visit, record a voice note about the job. It's typed out, the wording is drafted from your saved instruction, and the price comes from your price list. You read it, then it goes to the customer.

Questions
What owners ask first
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. If you can send a WhatsApp, you can do this. Everything is shown on your own phone first.
Which AI app do I need?
Whichever you already have: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. I teach on Claude. The free plan is enough to start; a paid plan is optional. I'll also show you how to stop your chats being used to train it.
Is it safe to put customer details in?
Yes, if you keep full names and addresses out of general AI assistants. A first name and postcode area is enough for the wording, and customer records stay in your job software.
Will it work out my prices?
No, and it shouldn't. AI can add up wrongly and hasn't seen your costs. Prices come from your own price list.
Can you set it up for me instead?
Yes. I set it up for you as part of a job software set-up, including Van Note Quotes. See what gets set up.
What if the group doesn't fill?
Each group has a go-ahead date, shown before you pay. A group runs once six people have booked. If six haven't booked by the go-ahead date, I refund your £197 within 14 days of that date, the same way you paid. Or, if you'd rather not wait, you can switch to the private course for you and up to two others by paying the difference: £498, so £695 in total.
