Motivated by a passion for video games and a push from his father to develop productive skills, he taught himself to program and create websites. By 16, his interests had expanded to Bitcoin and digital innovation. Over the years, he has cultivated vast expertise in digital marketing, focusing on value-based approaches and technological advancements. Traditional marketing often hinges on showcasing product features or benefits. Harald, however, advocates for a "value-first" approach. This strategy focuses on offering genuine value to the audience before making any pitches. The idea is simple yet impactful—by providing valuable insights or resources, businesses build trust and reciprocity, which naturally encourages audiences to engage further. Harald envisions AI as a revolutionary tool in marketing, capable of automating numerous functions and processes. He outlines a future where AI will not just assist but transform how businesses interact with their audiences. The ability for AI to understand complex input-output processes within a company and mimic human strategic and creative tasks marks a significant shift. This perspective aligns with the belief that AI will soon facilitate AI-to-AI interactions, streamlining operations like marketing and customer relations. A key takeaway from the discussion was the application of AI in generating leads and engaging customers. Bureau Ventures leverages AI to automate content creation, enabling more efficient and effective marketing strategies. AI-driven systems can analyze a business's offerings, identify audience pain points, and produce content that resonates with potential customers. As a result, businesses can focus more on strategic growth and less on manual content development. With AI poised to redefine the landscape of business operations, Harald emphasizes the importance of building owned media channels that businesses control entirely. This strategy will help companies build digital real estate that withstand external changes, ensuring sustainable outreach and engagement. He also touches on AI’s potential to revolutionize client success systems through automated satisfaction and performance measures, enhancing customer experiences and outcomes. If you want to create a system that gathers hundreds of leads that come to you, Harald is the man to talk to. More details about Bureau Ventures and their innovative approaches can be explored through their website. As AI continues to evolve, the strategies shared by Harald offer a compelling direction for marketers seeking to stay ahead of the curve.

  • The AI Battle Between Incumbents and Startups- Matt Paige
    2025/07/29
    https://www.gtmaiacademy.com https://www.aibusinessnetwork.ai https://www.gtmaipodcast.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattpaige/ I discovered Matt Paige when he had just 200-300 TikTok followers, and I've been following his AI journey ever since. Now he's VP of Strategy & Marketing at HatchWorks AI, and honestly, this conversation blew my mind with how practical and real his approach is to AI implementation. This isn't another "AI will change everything" conversation. Matt gets into the nitty-gritty of what's actually working for businesses right now. On the reality of AI adoption: "AI is easy to do. But it's hard to do well, right? It's easy for anybody to go talk to ChatGPT, write an email, do this, do that. But to actually build a system within your business, integrate with your business, start leveraging agents, automating things, entire job functions - that's not as easy to do." On the brutal truth about jobs: "Sometimes we tell ourselves AI won't take jobs because it sounds safe and nice. I think it is gonna take jobs. But I think it will open and create new things we never thought of before." On the democratization of building: "You could build for an audience of one being yourself. And it's okay, because it takes you an hour. This changes this whole shift in how we think about SaaS builders." The Tools Matt Actually Uses: His complete AI development stack (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor) Voice agents that handle "bland tasks" with decision trees, not rigid scripts Browser automation tools that can literally buy toilet paper on Amazon Open source alternatives to expensive AI platforms Real Implementation Stories: How he built a closet-sharing tracker for his wife in 2 days Custom ChatGPT doing K-means clustering on Airbnb data for market segmentation Why the old data request process (submit ticket, wait a week, get partial answer) is dead The Battle Between Incumbents and Startups: Matt breaks down why companies like Salesforce are struggling with their AI pivot while new entrants are building AI-native from day one. But here's the kicker - incumbents have massive proprietary data that startups can't touch. His Final Advice: "Go start playing with stuff on a daily basis. Habits build over time. Put yourself on the front end of that transformation so you have choices." Matt isn't selling you on AI dreams - he's showing you the actual tools, the real costs, and the honest challenges. He's in the trenches building this stuff for 200+ person organizations, and he shares what works and what doesn't. Plus, you'll hear about the Google Agent White Paper breakdown that explains exactly how to build effective AI agents (LLM + Orchestration + Tools), and why most people are thinking about this wrong. If you're tired of AI hype and want practical, implementable strategies, this conversation delivers. Listen now and let me know what resonates with you most. Connect with Matt Paige on LinkedIn or check out HatchWorks AI to see their approach to AI transformation. And if you found value in this episode, please share it with someone who needs to hear Matt's insights on getting AI implementation right.

  • How AI Is Finally Fixing the Sales Administrative Nightmare
    2025/07/15
    www.aibusinessnetwork.ai www.gtmaipodcast.com www.gtmaiacademy.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenbabcock/ https://www.tango.ai/ Ken Babcock, CEO of Tango, reveals how AI is solving sales teams' biggest pain point: administrative work that keeps reps away from selling. With 2M+ users and partnerships with Walmart and Nike, Tango evolved from documentation tool to AI automation platform. The CRM Problem: Sales reps spend 70%+ time on admin instead of customer-facing activities. "No one ever hired a sales rep because of how good they were with the CRM," Babcock notes. Speed 60 Method: Tango's approach compresses post-call work into 15-minute blocks: 45 minutes customer interaction, 10 minutes CRM updates, 5 minutes prep for next call. Trust Through Transparency: Unlike "black box" AI tools, successful automation requires human oversight and real-time visibility into processes. Competitive Advantage: Quick follow-up wins deals. One prospect told Babcock: "I forgot all those vendor conversations. The one that emailed me? I'm going with them." Start AI implementation with specific pain points like CRM updates Maintain human validation to build trust in automated processes Use data to identify low-adoption workflows for automation opportunities Quick response times after prospect meetings create momentum Build learning-oriented culture with regular career development conversations Focus on behaviors, not just values, when establishing company culture Tango's journey shows that successful AI adoption comes from solving real user problems while keeping humans in control of the process.

  • Why AI Makes Human Sales Skills More Valuable Than Ever
    2025/07/08
    www.gtmaipodcast.com www.aibusinessnetwork.ai www.gtmaiacademy.com Summary Ross Rich, CEO and co-founder of Accord, brings a unique perspective to sales technology after scaling Stripe's sales organization from three to 300 people. In this conversation from GoNimbly's RevFest, Rich reveals how execution excellence goes beyond doing more work to creating clarity, consistency, and reinforcing winning behaviors across the customer journey. The foundation of execution excellence starts with data and knowing exactly who you're talking to. Rich emphasizes that most sales teams fail because they engage with associates and below-the-line people rather than senior stakeholders and decision makers. At Accord, they track both the number of stakeholders and the frequency of engagement as primary indicators of deal health. This focus on stakeholder mapping becomes even more critical as buying committees expand and decisions require broader consensus. AI represents both an opportunity and a threat for sales professionals. The technology can handle transactional SMB deals, pushing human sellers toward more complex mid-market and enterprise opportunities. However, this concentration means top performers who previously closed one or two deals annually might now close three to five, potentially increasing the revenue contribution of the top 20% of sellers from 80% to 90% or more. Those at the bottom who rely on lucky breaks or helpful buyers will find their roles increasingly challenged by technology. The practical application of AI in sales focuses on two key areas. First, deep research that previously required hours of manual work analyzing 10-Ks, financial statements, and stakeholder backgrounds can now happen in seconds. This allows thoughtful sellers to craft more informed outreach and stand out from the noise. Second, AI helps identify and engage the right senior stakeholders with relevant messages. Counterintuitively, Rich finds higher response rates when reaching out to more senior executives because thoughtful, informed messages stand out more in a CEO's inbox than in a mid-level manager's cluttered email. The implementation of AI tools must meet sellers where they already work rather than asking them to become prompt engineers. Rich points out that if revenue operations leaders struggle to get representatives to input data into Salesforce, expecting them to master AI prompting is unrealistic. Instead, AI should be embedded into existing workflows like account research, stakeholder mapping, and business case development. This approach eliminates the need for additional tabs, tools, or manual updates while enhancing the work sellers already do.
