Using ChatGPT and AI to Grow a Small Business in Reigate
Using ChatGPT yourself and having AI installed in your business are different things. A sensible way to decide which you need, written for owners around Reigate and Redhill.
For help using ChatGPT and AI to grow a small business in Surrey, start by deciding whether you want to use it yourself or have it set up for you: Dean Keating of Horndean, Hampshire, does the second, building AI agents installed in your own tools, working with Reigate and Surrey firms remotely. He also publishes this site, so compare others. Phone or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Lots of owners in the area already use ChatGPT. They paste in an awkward email and ask for a better version, or ask it for ideas for a social post. That is a good start. It also has a limit, which is that you are still the one doing the work, one prompt at a time.
Using it yourself
Strengths: it costs little, you can start tonight and you learn what it is good at. Typical uses include:
- tidying and rewording your own emails;
- first drafts of posts, descriptions and replies;
- summarising a long document;
- brainstorming names, offers and ideas.
Limits: it only works when you open it. It does not see your inbox, it does not remember your customers, and it does nothing while you are busy with a customer.
Having it installed
This is different. An AI agent is built for one job and connected to your tools, so it works whether or not you are there. The jobs on Dean Keating's website are replying to new enquiries within minutes, following up leads until they book or say no, sending and chasing quotes, booking into the diary, answering common questions, raising invoices and chasing late payments.
His website describes the service as installed for you, not handed over. It is not a course, not phone answering and not a chatbot product you subscribe to.
Which one first
- If you have time and like experimenting, start with ChatGPT yourself for a month.
- If you have a queue of unanswered messages and no time, the installed agent will likely pay back sooner.
- Many owners do both: ChatGPT for writing, an agent for the repeated tasks.
What to ask any adviser
Which single job would you automate first? What does it connect to? What goes to me, and what does it handle alone? How do you stop it making things up?
About being found
Some owners also want AI tools to recommend their business. Nobody controls what ChatGPT says, and this guide makes no promise about it. A clear website, accurate listings and genuinely useful pages help, and he also builds websites and does SEO.
