The opportunity

Revenue is job one.

Most owners already have AI on their phones. Few have it working on their pipeline, their follow-up, or their supplier readiness. Every session starts with a real revenue problem and ends with something working in the owner's own business, plus clear rules on what to hand to AI, what to keep human, and what never to connect.

Phase 1 · Week of December 1, 2026

Stop Being the Bottleneck: Your AI Chief of Staff

2 hours · Virtual · Free to GBC members, ecosystem partners, and their communities

Owners lose deals in their own inbox. AI personal assistants now run from a phone by text, connected to email and calendar. Hour one covers how they work and the best practices that keep them safe. Hour two is setup and open Q&A.

Live demo: an assistant catching missed follow-ups and deadlines, all from a phone
The 3 Trust Rules: what to delegate, what to keep, and what never to connect
Setup cheat sheet: step by step, so owners leave with an assistant running
Early registration: the session opens sign-ups for the January series
Phase 2 · January to March 2027

Three tracks, matched to where owners are with AI.

Half day, 9 am to 1 pm, with lunch · In person, up to 150 seats · $199 per track or $499 for all three
TRACK 01

Ignite

New to using AI in the business

Right room if: you use AI to ask questions, but it isn't part of how you run your business.

You leave with: AI set up on your real business, a sharper value proposition and capability statement, prompts for the 5 tasks that eat your week, and clear rules for what never goes into AI.

TRACK 02

Accelerate

Using AI, ready for it to drive revenue

Right room if: you use AI weekly, but it hasn't moved your revenue.

You leave with: a follow-up system for every "not now" lead, faster proposals and bid responses, outreach in your own voice, and a 2027 growth plan pressure-tested for gaps.

TRACK 03

Automate

Ready to hand AI whole jobs

Right room if: AI is in your workflow, and you're ready to hand off whole jobs, not single tasks.

You leave with: one AI agent running a recurring workflow end to end, a delegation map, and the answer to a new question: when a buyer asks AI for a certified supplier in your category, do you show up?

Pre-work: every attendee completes a one-page form before their session: what I sell, who buys it, why me. Session time goes to building, not catching up.

After the series: owners who want agents built for them are referred to vetted AI implementation partners. Marley Nonami provides training and advisory, not implementation.

Marley Nonami's standard rate for a technical assistance program like this is $16,500 per track, covering custom curriculum, CPD certification, materials, and delivery. The kickoff is deeply discounted so GBC can see what's possible and gather member feedback.
