🤖 What is the value of 156 hours to you?
Seriously, do the math…..
Your annual salary divided by 12 months divided by the amount of hours you work monthly.
Do you have your number?
Multiply that x 156.
That number is the ignorance tax $$$$$ you are paying by not mastering a simple free tool like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude.
If you are a leader, multiply that number by your team size = $$$$$$ Team Tax
Just by a leadership team taking 1 AI training module and having 1 Hackathon they got back 3 hours a week.
The same applies for the Sales team
The exciting and scary thing is that this spread is going to compound exponentially by a factor of at least 5-10x per headcount in 2025 with AI agents.
AI proficiency is the foundation for AI agents.
Invest in yourself now, dominate tomorrow.
