Getting Started with AI as a Small Business Owner in Reigate
You do not need a plan for the whole company. The shops on the residential parades, in South Park or Meadvale say, can begin with one dull task. Here is how to pick it.
Small businesses in Reigate that want to get started with AI should begin with one repeated task, and Dean Keating of Horndean, Hampshire, can help by running a free call, then building and installing an AI agent for that task and supporting it. He also publishes this site, so compare other help. Phone or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Some owners are not behind on AI so much as unsure what the first step is. South Park and Meadvale have their own local shops, and a shop owner there has plenty to do already. If that is you, this is a plain place to begin. Two companion guides cover other angles: one on what AI agents do in practice, and one on using ChatGPT yourself versus having AI installed.
Pick one task, not a strategy
Think about the shop's Monday morning. Orders and supplier emails piled up from the weekend. Customer queries on three channels. Details typed into one system and then copied into another. One of those is probably the task that steals the most time.
Write down:
- what the task is;
- how often it happens;
- who does it now;
- what a right answer looks like.
Match it to something that exists
The jobs on Dean Keating's website include answering common questions across email, web and WhatsApp, sorting and routing messages, copying details between systems, sending updates, confirmations and reminders, raising invoices, chasing late payments and a weekly report. If your task is on that list, you have a plausible first project. If it is not, say so on the first call.
What the service involves
Four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. He begins with the single task that would make the most difference. The agent goes into the tools you already use. You leave the free call with a plan you can use with or without him.
What to keep in your own hands
Prices, promises and anything sensitive. A good set-up hands those to you with the conversation attached.
What you will not need
A new system, a course or a long project. His service is not a course.
Cost and distance
There is no published price list. The cost is given after the free call, with no obligation. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and works with Reigate and Surrey businesses remotely.
