In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into a fresh way to look at AI—one that goes beyond writing content or summarizing documents. My guest, Stephen Lewis, a seasoned journalist and copywriter with decades of experience, shares how businesses can use AI not just as a helper, but as a full-blown strategic partner.

It’s about using smart tools to better understand your audience, improve your message, and grow your brand. If you’ve ever wondered how to get ahead in digital marketing with AI, this episode will show you how.
While marketers obsess over storytelling, sales teams seem less infatuated.

Startup founders obsess over disruptive innovation.
VCs look for startups that promise disruptive innovation.
Yet, ironically, customers are the only ones who neither want nor need disruption.

It’s fair to say that sales has largely always been a human game.
However, in recent years, AI has made a huge dent in various enterprise sales processes, from lead scoring and qualification to data entry and follow-ups.
Growth at the enterprise level is a different game. The stakes are higher, the sales cycles are longer, and precision is non-negotiable. Enterprise teams need data that is not just comprehensive but also accurate, real-time, and actionable.
Your website is like a bustling store in a crowded marketplace. Visitors walk in, look around, and some even linger on certain pages. But here’s the problem you have no idea who they are or what they want.
High-quality customer service is required for any business to succeed. It helps in retaining existing customers while attracting new ones through positive word-of-mouth.
20% of Sales is the customer facing time. 80% of Sales (especially in SaaS) is what you do in-between. Isn’t that crazy? When a mentor taught me this important reality, it blew my mind.
