About this episode
In Episode 2 of The AI Tradesman Podcast, Rick explains the biggest mistake most people make when using AI — treating it like Google instead of giving it proper context.
Using real-world examples from his own window cleaning business, Rick shows how tools like ChatGPT can help tradesmen and small business owners handle awkward customer emails, save time, reduce stress, and communicate better without sounding robotic or corporate.
This episode also introduces the concept of “plugging the leak” — why businesses lose customers simply because they reply too slowly — and how automated systems can help stop enquiries slipping through the cracks.
Inside this episode:
• Why most AI prompts fail
• How to get far better results from ChatGPT and Claude
• A real example of using AI to write a difficult price increase email
• Why speed of response matters massively in business
• How automated replies can stop you losing customers over weekends
• Rick’s upcoming free GoHighLevel response-system guide
No tech waffle. No Silicon Valley nonsense. Just practical AI for real tradesmen and small business owners.
