SUMMARY:AI That Works - 4-Part Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:AI That Works for the Casual and Home Furnishings Industries \nIHFRA members are invited to participate in AI That Works\, a practical\, four-week live webinar series built specifically with the casual and home furnishings industries   and our associations   in mind. This is not a traditional "sit and listen" webinar. It is a voluntary\, paid\, interactive training course designed for busy professionals and teams who want to better understand how AI can actually save time\, improve communication\, support reporting\, and help with everyday decision-making without adding more complexity. This course is ideal for members who are curious about AI\, already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT\, or looking for a more structured way to use AI in their business. The goal is confident\, realistic adoption that helps members and their teams use AI in practical\, everyday ways. Registration is optional\, but space is available for members who want a hands-on training experience with immediate takeaways.\nSeries Schedule: June 17\, June 24\, July 1\, and July 8 Session Times: Two live options are available each day: 9:00 AM EDT or 11:00 AM EDT Format: Four weekly live\, interactive online training sessions with practical teaching and live Q&A \nSpecial IHFRA Member Rate: IHFRA members receive a special association rate of $189\, a savings of $60 off the regular $249 price. Session Breakdown Session 01: Prompting Without the Guesswork Learn how to communicate with AI more clearly so it delivers useful\, repeatable results instead of generic responses. Key takeaway: Walk away with a simple framework for better prompts. Session 02: Sharper Customer Communication Use AI to draft emails\, follow-ups\, outreach\, and message variations that still sound like your brand. Key takeaway: Save time on communication while improving consistency. Session 03: Spreadsheets\, Reporting\, and Insights Learn how to turn messy data into summaries\, faster analysis\, and clearer next steps without needing a technical background. Key takeaway: Make everyday reporting more useful and less manual. Session 04: Workflow Wins Your Team Will Actually Use Identify the repeatable tasks where AI can help first\, then build simple systems that fit how your team already works. Key takeaway: Spot realistic use cases that reduce friction right away. \nLed by Micah Ray of D4 Concepts\, this series focuses on realistic\, useful ways to apply AI to the work our members are already doing. Each session is designed to provide tangible takeaways\, including refined prompts\, templates\, repeatable workflows\, and practical next steps that participants can begin using right away.
