Work With Mike

I help business owners get AI doing the jobs that eat their week: the admin, the reporting, the copy and paste between tools. Most of what I'll suggest is something I already use myself or have built for a client.

I run Glide Marketing, and I write The Growth Toolkit, a free Sunday email on getting the most out of AI. If you want help in your own business, this is the page.

Speaking or media? That's further down. Here about a product? Brand deals have their own page.

Three ways I can help

Consultation call

A 60-minute video call about your business. You walk me through how your week runs, and I tell you which jobs to hand to AI first, which tools to use and how to set them up. You get written notes afterwards so nothing gets lost.

Paid before the call

Hands-on implementation

I build it with you. That might be a report that writes itself every month, bank statements turned into categorised accounts, or getting your team set up properly in Claude or ChatGPT.

Quoted by the day once we know the scope

Workshops

A session for your team, on video or in person. I show them how I use AI day to day, then get everyone set up on the tools that fit your business, so they leave with something they can use the next morning.

Quoted once I know the group size and format

How it works

  1. 1Send the form below and tell me what's eating your time.
  2. 2I reply within 2 working days. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so.
  3. 3I send a couple of times and an invoice from Glide Marketing Ltd, my company.
  4. 4Once it's paid, it goes in the diary.

I don't do free discovery calls. The enquiry costs nothing though, and you'll get a straight answer on whether I can help.

Some of what I've built

  • A toolkit for an accountancy practice that turns a client's bank statement PDF into categorised accounts, ready to paste into their accounts software
  • A monthly Google Ads audit for a client that runs and reports on its own
  • Payment confirmations that go out by themselves the moment a client pays
  • My own back office at Glide: AI agents for sales, marketing, finance and ops that brief me every morning

Want to see how I work first? Watch me get AI to list something on Facebook Marketplace start to finish.

Tell me what you need

A few lines is plenty. I'll reply within 2 working days.

Your enquiry goes straight to my inbox. Nothing else is stored unless you tick the newsletter box.
