What Sales Chatz does

Sales Chatz is a private advertising technology company that builds the aiADZ platform, an AI-powered digital advertising automation solution purpose-built for franchisors, multi-unit brands, and advertising agencies. The platform unifies campaign management, reporting and insights, and budget management across META (Facebook/Instagram), Google, and LinkedIn, with direct API integrations to HubSpot, ClientTether, Stripe, Zapier, and webhooks. Underlying capabilities include AI Optimiz (auto-optimization across ad networks), AI Insightz (franchise-domain knowledge modeling), AI Creative (generative ad copy and design), aiAnalyz and aiAnalyz (campaign analysis), AskZ (a ChatGPT-style assistant answering 2,000+ franchise sales and marketing FAQs), Budgetz (proprietary RPA-driven budget controls), Alertz (24/7 campaign anomaly detection), Trendz (predictive industry benchmarking), and Pipelinez (pipeline attribution).

The company's core technology differentiator is a proprietary data set of 150,000+ franchisees combined with a 9M+ META lookalike audience uploaded in 2012, which powers custom lookalike modeling and AI training specific to franchise prospect identification. The platform is sold directly via demo-driven enterprise field sales, through a white-label channel for agencies, and through self-service dashboard access for franchisors. The company runs active managed services for approximately 60 clients in addition to subscription platform access, with pricing undisclosed (quote/demo-based, annual billing). Documented customers span restaurant/fast casual (La Madeleine, Burrito Shak, Rush Bowls, Your Pie, Coconut Kennys, Black Bear Dinner, Orizaba, Mellon Franchising brands, Hoppin Brands, Ford Garage), fitness (D1 Training, Infinite Hitting), and B2B supply (Coast Supply).

Sales Chatz is founder-owned and operated by David G. Stein (CEO, founder of Producers Digital Network since 2005; 100+ franchisor brand engagements) and Kylon Gustin (CTO, formerly VP at TopFire Media and franchise marketing leader at Neighborly). The company is organized as Sales Chatz LLC (Florida), with reported presence in Waco and Washington, DC, and has no disclosed institutional funding. A July 2024 strategic partnership with ClientTether (Entrepreneur Magazine Top Franchise Technology ranking) anchors its franchise-tech ecosystem positioning.
