🤖 Is ChatGPT o1 REALLY that good? Here's how I built a company in 8 minutes on my first try.

Here's the 1 secret tip I used to build a company strategy with AI in 8 minutes.

Focus on the AI's reasoning, not just its output.

"Use AI" is terrible advice not because it's wrong.

But because it means something different for complex tasks.

Let me explain….

🤖 5 Mega-Prompts: "The Psychology of

Pre-Suasion in Sales"

These five psychological mega-prompts are incredibly effective for sales.

Though they might seem borderline unethical.

______________________________________________________________________

According to Robert Cialdini in his book Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade, there are key principles that help in setting the stage for persuasion before the actual sales pitch is delivered. These principles are powerful psychological tools. Use them sparingly and with caution. It's your responsibility to consider the ethical implications.

👨‍💻LinkedIn Highlight

Only 1 out of 25 SaaS Executives Had a Strategy for This!

It's the secret weapon that can slash costs and skyrocket productivity, yet 96% of leaders are flying blind.

The Strategy: Systematically implementing AI in sales and marketing teams.

The Shocking Reality: In a room of 25 SaaS executives, only 1 had a concrete plan for AI adoption.

Why It Matters:

• Your team is likely your largest expense

• AI can provide an unfair competitive advantage

• Without a strategy, you're leaving money on the table

The 3-Step AI Implementation Blueprint:

1. Activate

• Launch a 2-month sprint

• Focus on one critical KPI

• Example: Use AI to increase email response rates by 50%

2. Integrate

• Make AI usage a daily habit

• Share successful use cases

• Build a centralized AI playbook

3. Innovate

• Host regular AI brainstorming sessions

• Encourage cross-functional problem-solving

• Reward creative AI applications

Results I've Seen:

✅ 4x growth in average deal size spotted in a 15 minute exercise

✅ $30,000 deal closed by leveraging AI for winning back a lost deal

✅ 10x content reach and 6x the quantity of MQLs

😮 First impressions of OpenAI o1: An AI designed to overthink it

OpenAI’s new o1 model, codenamed "Strawberry," introduces "thinking" AI that breaks down complex problems into steps, but it's costly and slower compared to GPT-4o. While it excels at complex reasoning, it's less efficient for simpler tasks, making it better suited for addressing big questions.

🤖New updates to help creators build community, drive business, & express creativity on YouTube

YouTube's Made on YouTube 2024 has introduced exciting updates, including new AI tools and integrations with Google DeepMind's Veo to enhance creative possibilities on YouTube Shorts. Creators can expect expanded effects capabilities, AI-powered titles, and innovative features like 6-second AI-generated video clips, all aimed at empowering creators to build engaging communities and sustainable businesses.

😮Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2: Pages, Python in Excel, and agents

Microsoft has announced the next wave of Microsoft 365 Copilot, introducing Copilot Pages, a dynamic AI collaboration tool, and improving Copilot’s integration with apps like Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. Copilot agents are also being launched to automate business processes and enhance productivity.

🙌Google unlists misleading Gemini video

Google has unlisted a demo video showcasing its Gemini AI after the BBB National Programs’ ad watchdog questioned its accuracy. The video, which portrayed Gemini's impressive conversational abilities, included disclaimers about reduced latency and shortened outputs for demonstration purposes. Google opted to halt the promotion of the video, though it remains available alongside a blog post explaining the demo's creation.

✨Slack Debuts AI Agents

Slack is expanding its AI capabilities with the introduction of AI-powered agents and new productivity features. AI agents, including Salesforce's Agentforce and third-party tools from Adobe, Asana, and more, will allow users to perform tasks like drafting emails and accessing CRM data directly within Slack. New features such as AI-generated Huddle summaries, enhanced search functionality, and natural language workflow automation are also being introduced. Additionally, Slack will launch customizable templates in October 2024 to streamline project setups and improve team productivity.
