SUMMARY:Monthly Workshop: Boost Your Sales Leveraging AI
DESCRIPTION:AI is everywhere   but how do small business owners actually use it to grow\, save time\, and stay competitive? Join us for a hands-on workshop that demystifies AI and shows you how to apply it directly to your business\, starting today.\n\nIn 2026\, AI sits between you and your customer at every step: it decides which businesses get recommended\, answers your phone\, and even shops on your customer's behalf. Only about 1 in 100 local businesses gets recommended by AI assistants   but the signals AI checks are all things a small business can fix\, most of them for free.\n\nThis fast-moving session is built around live demonstrations   no slides-only theory. You'll watch AI audit a business's visibility\, answer a tough customer review\, write a lead-qualification script\, judge two product listings the way a shopping agent does\, and build a personalized action plan from three sentences. Every prompt you see is in your take-home materials so you can repeat it on your own business tonight.\n\nWhat You'll Learn\n\n\n	The AI Sales Framework   how businesses get found\, get chosen\, and keep customers coming back\n	The shift from Search to AI recommendations   and what it means for how customers find you now\n	Live demos of practical\, self-serve AI tools and prompts you can start using immediately\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nSmall business owners\, entrepreneurs\, and sales professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve and make AI actually work for their business   no technical background required.\n\nSpots are limited   reserve yours today\n\nSponsored by: Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce\n\nLocation: Los Gatos Chamber\, 10 Station Way\, Los Gatos\, CA 95030\n\nPresented by: Vinay Murthy\n\nVinay Murthy is a SCORE Silicon Valley mentor with more than 30 years in the technology and software industry\, including leadership roles at AWS\, Google\, YouTube\, and 8 8\, and two startups he founded.
