How Small Businesses Can Use AI to Grow in 2025
Hey, it's Chad
I am not your typical AI Chatbot. I don’t speak in algorithms or expect you to have a PhD in machine learning. I’m here to help small businesses get real results with AI that’s easy, effective, and—dare we say—actually fun to use. Email me with anything.
Hey, Small Business Owners—This One’s for You
AI is everywhere. You hear about it, read about it, and some tech bro on LinkedIn keeps telling you it’s going to ‘revolutionize’ your business. Great. But how does that help you today—not in some vague, overpromised future where robots do all the work while you sip margaritas?
That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Chad—the AI assistant that actually makes sense for small businesses like yours. I don’t need you to be a programmer, I don’t need you to spend thousands of dollars, and I certainly don’t need you to memorize buzzwords like ‘synergistic deep learning.’
What I will do? Show you exactly how AI can help you work smarter, save time, and make more money. Sound good? Let’s go.
Chapter 1: Why AI Isn’t Just for Tech Giants
Here’s the thing: AI isn’t just for Silicon Valley. It’s not just for Amazon, Google, or whatever billion-dollar startup is being hyped this week. AI is for you, too.
Small businesses are using AI right now to: ✅ Automate customer service (so you don’t have to answer the same question 500 times) ✅ Write social media posts and emails (because let’s be honest, who has time for that?) ✅ Predict what customers want (before they even know they want it) ✅ Optimize marketing (without hiring an expensive agency) ✅ Streamline operations (aka fewer headaches for you)
The best part? AI doesn’t take your job—it just takes the annoying parts of it off your plate.

Chapter 2: AI for Customer Service (a.k.a. Goodbye, Repetitive Questions)
How many times have you answered the same exact question from a customer? (“What are your hours?” “Do you ship to Florida?” “Is this gluten-free?”) If the answer is ‘too many,’ congratulations—you’re ready for an AI chatbot.
🔹 What it does:
- Answers common customer questions automatically
- Provides 24/7 support without hiring a night shift
- Helps customers find what they need, faster
🔹 AI Tools for the Job:
- ChadGPT (yep, that’s me, and I’ll save you time)
- Tidio (great for small business chatbots)
- Freshchat (for AI-powered customer service)
📌 Example Prompt for ChadGPT:
I run a small e-commerce store selling handmade jewelry. Create an AI chatbot script that answers the following FAQs: 1) “What are your shipping times?” 2) “Do you offer gift wrapping?” 3) “Can I return an item if I don’t like it?”
📌 Pro Tip: Don’t set up a robotic-sounding chatbot. Make it feel like you—fun, casual, and helpful. The more human your AI, the better customers respond.
Chapter 3: AI for Marketing (Because You Didn’t Start a Business to Write Facebook Ads)
Marketing is important. But spending hours coming up with blog ideas, email campaigns, and ad copy? Not fun. That’s why smart businesses let AI do the heavy lifting.
🔹 How AI Helps Your Marketing:
- Writes engaging social media posts (without you staring at a blank screen for an hour)
- Crafts email campaigns that convert
- Suggests SEO-friendly blog topics to drive traffic
🔹 AI Tools for the Job:
- ChadGPT (writing that sounds like you, but faster)
- Copy.ai (AI-powered ad copy and sales emails)
- SurferSEO (helps optimize content for Google)
📌 Example Prompt for ChadGPT:
I own a coffee shop and need a month’s worth of Instagram post ideas, including promotions, fun facts about coffee, and customer engagement posts. Make sure they feel natural and not salesy.
📌 Pro Tip: AI doesn’t replace your creativity—it just speeds it up. Use AI to get a draft started, then tweak it to add your personality.
Chapter 4: AI for Sales (Because ‘Following Up’ is Exhausting)
Let’s be real: following up with leads, tracking sales data, and scheduling meetings isn’t the fun part of running a business. But AI? It loves doing that stuff.
🔹 How AI Can Help:
- Automates follow-up emails so leads don’t go cold
- Tracks customer interactions to personalize sales pitches
- Schedules calls & meetings so you don’t have to play email tag
🔹 AI Tools for the Job:
- HubSpot Sales Hub (AI-powered sales tracking)
- Pipedrive (AI-driven CRM for small businesses)
- ChadGPT (because automating follow-ups is a game-changer)
📌 Example Prompt for ChadGPT:
I run a freelance web design agency. Write a friendly but professional follow-up email for a potential client who inquired about services but hasn’t responded in a week.
📌 Pro Tip: Sales is about relationships. AI helps manage those relationships—but you’re still the one closing the deal.
Final Thoughts: AI That Works for You, Not Against You
AI isn’t just some futuristic trend—it’s already here, and it’s already helping small businesses scale. The only question is: Are you going to use it?
Because let’s be real—you didn’t start a business to do more busy work. AI can handle the repetitive, time-consuming tasks so you can focus on what really matters.
So what’s next? Try ChadGPT. I make AI simple, effective, and actually useful. No nonsense, no tech-speak—just real results.
