What AI Ascend Does (And How We Can Help Your Business)

## What AI Ascend Actually Does AI Ascend is an AI and automation consultancy for small-to-mid businesses. We don't sell software or subscriptions. We work directly with business owners to identify where technology can save time, reduce manual work, and drive revenue — then we build it. Our founder Tim Burnham works hands-on with every client. No junior account managers, no handoffs to offshore teams. You get direct access to the person building your solution. ## Our Four Core Services ### Custom Websites We build modern, fast websites designed to convert visitors into leads. Not templates — custom sites built with Next.js, optimized for search engines and AI discovery. If your current website isn't generating leads, we can fix that. ### Excel-to-Web-App Conversions If your business runs on complex Excel files that multiple people need to access, we can turn those spreadsheets into real web applications. Your team gets an app with user logins, data validation, and reliable multi-user access. No more emailing files back and forth or dealing with broken formulas. ### Sales & Marketing Automations We build the workflows that keep your pipeline moving: CRM automation, lead nurturing sequences, email campaigns, follow-up triggers, and pipeline management. The goal is simple — stop losing leads to slow follow-up and manual processes. ### AI Training Workshops We teach your team to use AI tools effectively in their actual day-to-day work. Not theory, not a generic "intro to AI" course — practical training on the specific tools and workflows your team needs, right when they need them. ## How an Engagement Works ### Step 1: Free Consultation We start with a 30-minute call to understand your business, your pain points, and where automation or AI might create the most value. No pitch, no pressure. ### Step 2: Proposal & Scope Based on our conversation, we put together a clear proposal with specific deliverables, timeline, and transparent pricing. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs. ### Step 3: Build & Launch We build your solution, test it thoroughly, and launch it. For automations, we run them alongside your existing process first to make sure everything works before going live. ### Step 4: Support & Optimize After launch, we monitor performance and make adjustments. We also teach your team how to manage and evolve the systems we build — you're never locked in or dependent on us. ## Who We Work With AI Ascend is built for small-to-mid businesses — roughly 5 to 100 employees. Our typical clients are: - **Business owners drowning in spreadsheets** who need real systems - **Growing companies** that need a professional website but want more than a template - **Sales teams** losing deals to slow manual follow-up - **Teams curious about AI** but unsure where to start If you're an enterprise company with 500+ employees, we're probably not the right fit. We work best with businesses where we can make a direct, measurable impact quickly. ## Our Philosophy Technology should help humans be better humans. We don't automate people away — we automate the repetitive, low-value work so your team can focus on strategy, creativity, and growth. Every solution we build is designed to make your team's work better, not just cheaper. ## Ready to Talk? Book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss what's possible for your business.
