Leads go to whoever replies first. In this hands-on session, professionals and business owners learn another level of lead management and the sales pipeline. Then each person builds a working AI sales agent in Claude, ChatGPT or others, step by step. It will answer questions, qualify leads, handle common objections and book calls, while you keep control of pricing and closing. You'll test it as a real customer would and leave with an agent ready to use. No technical skills needed.

About Samuel Kern
Samuel Kern is the founder of BRANDCENTRAL, a digital operations agency based in Mooresville, NC that helps businesses eliminate operational friction through AI systems, automation, and custom software.
With over a decade of experience in operations leadership across manufacturing, distribution, and services, Samuel discovered that most operational mess isn't a tooling problem. It's the absence of process. This realization led him to build systems that give business owners their time back.
Samuel's latest work focuses on an approval-gated system of 40+ AI staff that handle the back office. Follow-ups, content, onboarding, invoicing, support, Sales and more. Nothing reaches the outside world until a human approves it. He runs it on his own business first as "Client Zero," saving over 20 hours weekly before it ever reaches a client's operation.
His philosophy: AI is best at the busywork humans hate. The goal isn't replacing people, but giving them time to focus on what matters.
