    AI Implementation Consultant & Automation for Small Business — Work With Jay

    If you run a service business — HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, accounting, law — you've probably played with a few AI tools and gotten nowhere fast. Not because AI doesn't work. Because you need a real person who understands how your specific business runs, not a big firm charging enterprise rates for a 40-page strategy deck you can't implement. That's what makes working with Jay different. As an AI implementation consultant and AI automation consultant, Jay builds AI consulting for small businesses that's hands-on. No jargon. Greensboro, NC and nationwide.

    What an AI Automation Consultant & Implementation Consultant Actually Does for Your Business

    I don't build strategy decks. I build systems — the kind that answer your phone, book your appointments, write your follow-up emails, chase your overdue invoices, and turn the knowledge in your head into something AI can actually use. The framework I use is called the Brain in a Box system: six notebooks that capture your SOPs, your voice, your offers, your past jobs, and your team's know-how so every AI tool you touch already knows your business before you type a single prompt.

    That means a lead comes in and the AI responds in your voice within a minute — not three hours later. It means a customer asks for a quote and gets one back without you copying and pasting from a spreadsheet. It means your team has a searchable brain for every "how do we handle this?" question that used to live in one person's memory.

    This is what an AI automation consultant does — and it's what I've been doing for 14 years.

    Real systems, not slides

    I install working AI automation — phone agents, schedulers, follow-up sequences, and your Company Brain — not a PowerPoint.

    The Brain in a Box framework

    Six notebooks that capture your business so every AI tool knows your SOPs, your voice, and your customers.

    Who I Work With

    AI consulting for small businesses with a sales team and a fulfillment team — if leads come in and jobs go out, AI makes both sides faster.

    Service Businesses

    Trades & home services

    HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and roofers. If you've got a dispatcher, a truck, and a calendar that's always full, I'll show you how AI books the job, follows up, and writes the invoice — while you're on the roof.

    Professional Services

    Knowledge-based practices

    Accountants, lawyers, insurance brokers, and mortgage advisors. Your expertise is in your head — I help you capture it so AI drafts your emails, answers client questions in your voice, and keeps every case file organized.

    Owners & Teams

    Ready to scale

    Business owners who know AI is the future but are tired of generic, useless "solutions." I teach you how to make AI work for YOUR business — not someone else's template. Perfect for teams that want hands-on help, not a course.

    The boutique difference

    Why Boutique AI Consulting Beats a Big Firm

    Big consulting firms are built for enterprise clients with enterprise budgets. You get a polished sales pitch, a six-figure retainer, and a junior associate who's never run a small business doing the actual work. The playbook is generic. The results are slow. And when you call, you're talking to an account manager — not the person building your systems.

    Boutique means I know your name, your operations, and your team. I'm the actual consultant — certified, hands-on, and using the exact same tools I recommend. I build your AI automation myself, I tweak it when it breaks, and I'm accountable for the outcome. You're not a line item on a quarterly report. You're the business I'm helping this week.

    Big AI consulting firm

    High retainers, junior associates, generic playbooks, slide decks, and an account manager between you and the person doing the work.

    Working with Jay

    You talk to the consultant directly. Certified, hands-on, using the same tools he recommends. Systems that run in your business — not a slide deck.

    Based in Greensboro, NC — serving the Piedmont Triad and small businesses nationwide.

    How We Work Together

    Whether you want to learn AI on your own, build alongside me, or hand it off to my team — I've got a path for you. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just real solutions that actually work.

    Free Weekly AI Workshops

    Free

    Every Friday I teach a different AI topic live — for free. NotebookLM, HeyGen, vibe coding, AI video, and more. No pitch. No fluff. Just tools you can use this week. Can't make it live? Replays are always available.

    Brain Dump Workshop

    $97 one-time

    Every other month, I run a live 2-hour hands-on workshop where we build your Company Brain together — using your actual business content with NotebookLM or Claude. You walk out with your Company Cortex, your first SOP documented, and a clear picture of how it all connects. Every attendee gets a 15-minute next steps call with me.

    Market Domination Blueprint

    $497 one-time

    A private 1-hour strategy and implementation call where I map your entire operation and hand you a step-by-step blueprint to dominate your market with AI. You walk away with a clear implementation plan — what to build, in what order, and what it'll take. Not the same as the Brain Dump Workshop: this is 1-on-1 strategy, not a group build session.

    JourneyBuilder

    Pricing is based on the solution — not a one-size-fits-all plan. If you'd like JourneyBuilder, you can visit getjourneybuilder.com where we have a DIY plan or Done-For-You plans. We'll figure out the right fit together on your discovery call.

    JourneyBuilder Services

    Individual Tools & Features

    Explore specific tools within the JourneyBuilder ecosystem, like our built-in Booking Calendar Software. Perfect if you're looking to replace point solutions like Calendly, Linktree, or expensive website builders.

    Speaking & Private Workshops

    I speak at conferences, business events, and association meetings about AI for small business. I also run private team workshops — your team, your business, hands-on AI implementation in 2-3 hours. If you want your audience to actually understand AI (and have fun doing it), hire Jay to speak.

    AI Strategy Consulting

    Free strategy session

    Need a clear AI roadmap before you spend a dime on tools? Jay works as an AI strategy consultant for small and service businesses — auditing your workflows, prioritizing by ROI, and building a 90-day implementation plan. Start with a free 30-minute strategy session.
