E54: The Three Jobs AI Actually Does For Your Business

E54: The Three Jobs AI Actually Does For Your Business

This live session, recorded on Day 3 of the AI for Business event, features Jenz breaking down agentic browsers, the next shift in how business owners interface with the internet, using tools like Perplexity Comet and ChatGPT Atlas. Drawing on real testing inside the AI for Business ecosystem, Jen frames the entire opportunity around three simple jobs AI does for a business: generate leads, convert existing leads, and automate the work you don't want to do. The talk explains why the browser itself is becoming the AI layer, why linguistics is now the core skill that outlasts prompt engineering, and how to start experimenting without getting your accounts banned or burning through tokens. If you're a business owner, real estate investor, or operator trying to figure out where agentic AI actually fits into lead generation, research, and daily operations in 2026, this session is a practical starting point. Timeline Summary [0:01] – Jen introduces agentic browsers as the next phase of AI and why the browser is becoming the interface [1:18] – How AI is moving away from separate apps and coming straight to the browser as your gateway to the internet [2:40] – The three things AI actually helps with in business: generate leads, convert leads, and automate what you hate [3:26] – Why talking to AI in plain English is replacing heavy prompt engineering for speed of adoption [4:44] – Linguistics as the foundational skill that sticks with you, and why articulation beats technical prompting [5:18] – How agentic browsers remember information across websites and your browser history [6:02] – The two forerunner tools right now: Perplexity Comet and ChatGPT Atlas [6:25] – Using a browser to pull leads, emails, and phone numbers without APIs or custom connections [7:47] – How AI collapses hours of research into minutes, and why foundational research skills still multiply results [9:24] – Browsers using your logins to post, reply, and manage outreach like an executive assistant [10:32] – Testing agentic browsers on real workflows inside the company and early success with English-only commands [11:36] – The 2026 shift to scaling operations without adding headcount by multiplying your existing team [13:40] – Jen's core advice to identify your biggest time waster and start playing with free browser trials [19:12] – Q&A opens with a question on Atlas browser security leaks and practicing good data hygiene [21:17] – Whether AI posting to your Facebook gets you flagged as a bot, and testing at a human scale [27:03] – How to avoid Amazon bans on AI-assisted books through voice branding and humanizing text [35:49] – The move from the old AI for Business app to Reven, and how token balances will be handled 5 Key Takeaways 1. AI Does Three Jobs In Business — Every use case Jen teaches ladders up to three outcomes: generating new leads, converting the leads you already have, and automating the tasks you don't want to do so you can focus on revenue. 2. Linguistics Is The Skill That Lasts — As tools shift to plain English commands, the durable skill is articulating clearly what you want done. If you can explain a task so a human could execute it, the browser can now do it too. 3. The Browser Is Becoming The AI Layer — Agentic browsers like Comet and Atlas are pulling AI out of separate apps and into your gateway to the internet, using your logins to research, gather contacts, and post on your behalf. 4. Awareness Is Not An Excuse To Sit Out — Knowing these tools exist means using them, not waiting. Jen's homework is to identify your single biggest time waster and start experimenting with a free browser trial today. 5. Perfection Is The Enemy Of Greatness — Whether going live for the first time or publishing an AI-assisted book, putting yourself out there imperfectly is what builds authenticity and momentum, and people connect with you being real, not polished.

E53: How One Prompt Can Solve Five Problems featuring Richard Dunn

Richard Dunn is a sales leader, business consultant, and partner in the AI for Business ecosystem who has spent decades building and training high-performance sales teams across multiple companies. He specializes in sales culture, leadership development, and helping businesses implement AI in a way that actually produces revenue rather than just adding complexity. In this session, Richard shares his honest journey into AI, the overcomplicated detours, the moment of clarity, and the one ChatGPT prompt that solved five major sales problems at once. If your sales team is closing 55% of their pipeline and you don't know why the other 45% is falling out, this episode is the blueprint you've been looking for. Key Talking Points of the Episode 0:01 – Richard introduces the theme of his talk: augmenting the human edge in sales, with a focus on simplicity as the common thread running through everything AI can do for a business 0:38 – The biggest myth he debunks when consulting companies: AI is not here to replace salespeople. It's here to cut friction and sharpen what they're already doing 2:01 – Richard recounts the origin story: three years ago, Brian Hanson told him AI was going to be a major force, and Richard mostly let it go in one ear and out the other 4:34 – The turning point: Brian calls Richard excited about an AI-generated image of himself in a German army helmet riding a unicorn with a Frappuccino, and Richard still doesn't fully get it 6:58 – How Richard eventually joined the AI for Business team full-time, winding down his third-party sales clients to go all-in on building something bigger together 7:38 – Richard's first mistake: trying to learn everything about AI as fast as possible and ending up with a pile of information and no clarity on what to actually do with it 9:00 – The real problems in his sales company that AI needed to solve: wasted time on unqualified prospects, salespeople talking too much, reps skipping framework steps, and leadership buried in random call reviews 13:08 – How a 5:30 a.m. Zoom call with team member Yens Heitman changed everything. Yens had already built sales analysis prompts that Richard was able to adapt to their specific framework 15:58 – The moment of clarity: they didn't need more tech. They needed visibility into what was actually happening inside their sales calls 16:28 – How the system works: calls are transcribed through their CRM, zapped to ChatGPT, and scored 0 to 100 against their sales framework, measuring close probability, talk ratio, and call summary in real time 18:41 – The 80% rule: anything scoring 80 or higher goes on the pipeline report; anything below goes on a separate list, so reps stay focused on closeable deals 19:59 – Where the real money was hiding: deals scoring 65 to 79% were the gold zone, deals they were leaving on the table every month that one follow-up call could often push over the threshold 21:56 – Before the system, they were closing 55% of their pipeline, meaning 45% fell out every month. The prompt helped them stop the bleed without adding a single new tool 22:16 – Richard's 60/40 talk ratio rule: salespeople should talk no more than 40% of the time. His top reps are at 30% or less, and most salespeople resist this until they see the data 26:00 – The Jeff story: a veteran salesperson who scoffed at the listening-first philosophy, boasted about his 200 rebuttals, and got a very direct lesson in why having 200 rebuttals means you're probably doing sales wrong 31:21 – Richard's core sales philosophy: your job is never to talk someone into something they don't want. It's to listen, identify the pain, and confirm that what you offer actually solves it 34:03 – How simple AI systems expose weak leaders and amplify strong ones, and why sales managers push back the hardest when accountability systems go in 37:30 – The closing framework: simple AI plus fast adoption equals real results, and the implementation roadmap: identify your number one pain point, pilot one tool, train, execute 40:32 – Richard's final message: find the one thing, take action, and don't let the shiny new tools distract you from the problem you actually need to solve today Key Takeaways 1. Information Is Not Implementation — Richard spent two and a half months learning AI tools and ended up with a pile of information he didn't know what to do with. The shift came when he stopped asking "what can AI do?" and started asking "what problem do I need to solve right now?" 2. One Prompt Can Solve Five Problems — A single ChatGPT prompt built around their existing sales framework replaced hours of random call reviews, gave real-time close probability scores, measured talk ratios, surfaced missed steps, and helped leadership coach with precision instead of guessing. 3. Too Many Rebuttals Is a Red Flag, Not a Flex — If your salespeople need 200 rebuttals, they're generating 200 objections. Objections are a symptom of a salesperson who isn't listening, not qualifying, and not building trust, not evidence that they're skilled closers. 4. The 65 to 79% Zone Is Where the Money Is — Deals already scoring 80% or higher nearly close themselves. The real profit comes from identifying the one or two missing pieces in deals just below that threshold and coaching reps to go back and fill the gap. 5. Weak Leaders Get Exposed, Strong Leaders Get Amplified — When you implement a simple AI system that creates real visibility into what's happening on the sales floor, there's nowhere to hide. That's not a threat. It's the point. Links & Resources * AI for Business Mastery Program https://go.aiforbusiness.com/start [https://go.aiforbusiness.com/start]

E52: How One AI Campaign Generated $200,000 From Dead Leads featuring Bryce Decora

Bryce Decora is the founder of CloseBot, an AI-powered lead qualification and appointment booking platform that has processed over 100 million messages across 35 million contacts and booked more than 600,000 appointments, saving businesses an estimated 60 years of collective time. Before building one of the most-reviewed AI tools in the space (20 G2 awards in a single season), Bryce was a mechanical engineer and software developer at Boeing who accidentally automated himself out of a real estate business and learned the hard way exactly where AI belongs in a sales cycle. In this session from the AI for Business conference, Bryce shares the framework he built from that failure: the three-phase business flywheel that separates businesses printing money from businesses burning it. He breaks down where AI should handle the heavy lifting, where human trust is non-negotiable, and how one ClosedBot power user turned 773 dead leads into nearly $200,000 in revenue with a single reactivation campaign. You'll Learn How To: * Use AI to qualify leads and book appointments at scale without sacrificing the human connection that closes deals * Apply the three-phase business flywheel (Attract, Engage, Delight) to reduce stress and build a self-sustaining sales engine * Identify the exact moment in your sales process where AI should hand off to a person * Run a database reactivation campaign on contacts you've written off and generate real revenue from them * Build AI flows using a diagram-based approach that actually works at scale, not just in demos * Set up multi-provider AI redundancy so your business keeps running even when one AI platform goes down * Use ClosedBot's Smart FAQ feature to make your AI smarter over time without manually reviewing every conversation What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:01] Bryce opens with a crowd exercise to understand who's in the room and reveals a striking stat: 3,000 ClosedBot accounts exist in the community, but only 76 are actually being used [1:39] Bryce's origin story: growing up in Nebraska, going to engineering school, landing at Boeing, and realizing big corporate America wasn't the life he wanted [2:07] Why Bryce's wife, a realtor, started consistently out-earning a Boeing software engineer, and how that pushed him to try real estate investing for the first time [3:07] The culture shock of going from writing code alone at a desk to cold-calling distressed homeowners eight hours a day, and why he decided to program his way out of the problem [4:20] How Bryce built a hybrid of AI and virtual assistants in real estate, made a $75,000 commission check, and put all of it into scaling his AI automations [5:05] The moment Bryce proved the skeptics wrong and simultaneously drove himself out of business by going all-in on AI with no human component left [5:49] How real estate professionals approached Bryce after his failure, asked to pay for his technology, and introduced the balanced model that became CloseBot [6:23] The numbers: 100 million messages, 35 million contacts, 600,000 booked appointments, and an estimated 60 years of saved business time worth around $5 million [7:36] Why manually responding to leads at volume breaks down fast, and how the spiral from one missed message to a full inbox meltdown happens to every business owner eventually [9:32] How Bryce's experience training AI models at Boeing in 2018 (four years before ChatGPT) shaped ClosedBot's diagram-based flow builder approach to keeping AI on track at scale [11:48] Introducing the business flywheel: Attract, Engage, Delight, and where CloseBot is specifically designed to fit in that cycle [13:49] Why trust cannot be automated: the case for keeping a human in the engage phase, especially for high-ticket items like coaching, home sales, and big-ticket services [15:10] The cautionary tale: what happens when a business over-automates and customers scream for a person but keep getting a bot, and how that accelerates the recession of trust [16:13] Bryce's counterintuitive advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed at a conference full of AI tools: pick one or two, and then just be a really good person [17:03] The AI for Business done-for-you option: pre-built CloseBot agents that plug directly into your HighLevel account, with setup starting November 10th [18:49] CloseBot's reliability architecture: multi-provider AI fallback across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek so your lead qualification never goes down [21:51] The case study: Joey Brown used CloseBot to reactivate 773 leads a roofing client had written off as dead and generated nearly $200,000 in revenue from a single campaign Who This Episode Is For: * Business owners spending hours a day responding to leads manually or through virtual assistants * Anyone running outbound campaigns who needs AI to qualify leads before handing them to a salesperson * Real estate investors, agents, and service businesses managing high lead volume across multiple channels * Entrepreneurs who have tried to fully automate their sales process and hit a wall with conversions * HighLevel users who want to plug AI lead qualification directly into their existing CRM workflow * Anyone at the AI for Business conference who has a CloseBot account and hasn't activated it yet Why You Should Listen: Bryce Decora is not a guy selling a tool he built in a weekend. He is someone who spent years at Boeing training AI models before ChatGPT existed, burned down a real estate business by over-automating it, and rebuilt something better from the wreckage. That experience gives everything he says in this session a layer of credibility that most AI product pitches don't have. He knows what happens when you go too far, and he built CloseBot specifically around that lesson. The framework he lays out, Attract with AI, Engage with humans, Delight with a combination of both, is simple enough to draw on a napkin but grounded in 100 million real conversations. What makes it stick is the honesty. Bryce does not come on stage and tell you AI will solve everything. He tells you where it fails, what it costs when you ignore that, and why the recession of trust means the easiest competitive advantage you have right now is just being a person who shows up. The Joey Brown case study at the end is the kind of real-world proof point that makes this worth sharing. 773 leads written off as dead. One reactivation campaign. Nearly $200,000 in revenue. If you have a database of contacts you are not doing anything with, or you know someone who does, this episode is the blueprint for what to do next.

E51: The All-in-One AI Stack That Replaces Five Tools You're Already Using featuring Brian Hanson

Brian Hanson is an AI tools builder and educator who created Raven, an all-in-one AI platform he built in three weeks without knowing how to code, housing the top AI models for chat, image creation, video generation, and business content production inside a single interface. He teaches push-button AI strategies to business owners and entrepreneurs who want real implementation without the learning curve. In this session recorded live at the AI for Business event, Brian does a hands-on walkthrough of Raven's core features — from multi-model chat and brand voice creation to image-to-prompt, competitor intelligence, and an affiliate system built right into the platform. If you've been paying for five different AI tools and still feel like none of them are producing content that sounds like you, this episode shows you what one unified platform can do instead. Timeline Summary [0:01] – Brian introduces Raven and clarifies the difference between the free version (prompting only) and the full platform [0:20] – How Raven started as a lead gen prompting tool and grew into a full AI suite [1:15] – The chat interface: switching between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Kimi 2, and other top models in one place [2:22] – How Raven's memory works differently from ChatGPT: you choose what gets saved, nothing is stored automatically [3:16] – Brand voice creation: how Brian used 80 Claude-generated copywriter questions to train Raven to write in his voice [4:39] – Voice-to-text input for answering brand voice questions without typing a word [6:00] – The prompter tool: turning a plain English sentence into a structured XML or JSON super prompt [8:46] – Image-to-prompt: uploading a competitor's image or photo to reverse-engineer the exact prompt that created it [10:05] – The image generator models inside Raven: Imagen 4, Flux 1.1 Ultra, Nano Banana, and Flux Image 3.0 [13:51] – The clone tool: training a personal image model on your face to generate branded photos in any scenario [15:03] – The affiliate system: how sharing AI-generated images on social media auto-tags new signups to your account [18:15] – Library tools overview: competitor intelligence, social media calendar, e-book generator, newsletter generator, and hiring tool [23:41] – Brian previews two full days of Raven training inside AI Business Mastery [28:24] – The difference between Pro (passive learning) and AI Business Mastery (live implementation and accountability) 5 Key Takeaways 1. You Don't Need to Know How to Code — Brian built Raven in three weeks using tools like Lovable and no coding background. The barrier to building functional AI-powered apps is lower than most business owners think, and he walks through how he did it inside AI Business Mastery. 2. Brand Voice Is Trainable — Raven's 80-question brand voice builder, designed around what a copywriter would ask, lets you speak or type your answers once and have every piece of content you generate sound like you from that point forward. 3. Prompt Quality Is a System Problem, Not a Skill Problem — Instead of teaching people how to write better prompts, Brian built a tool that does it for them. Plain English in, structured XML or JSON super prompt out, in the format AI models actually perform best with. 4. Competitor Intelligence Can Be Ethical and Powerful — Raven's competitor intelligence tool analyzes email sequences, landing pages, and messaging patterns (not copying them) to help you understand the structure, psychology, and persuasion techniques your competitors are using, and apply those frameworks in your own voice. 5. Passive Learning and Active Implementation Are Not the Same Thing — In a room of 60–70 Pro members at the event, only 5 had gone through the Pro modules. Knowing a tool exists and actually building the habit of using it are different problems, and accountability-based implementation programs solve the second one in a way self-paced content never will.

E50: Build a Personalized AI Implementation Plan in One Afternoon featuring Tiffany Ablola

Tiffany Ablola is an EOS implementer, Kolbe system coach, and contributor to The People Book who helps overwhelmed leaders move from chaos to momentum by clarifying their strengths and building systems around them. She presented this session on Day 3 of the AI for Business conference, walking attendees through her Delegate and Elevate framework and showing them how to build a personalized AI implementation plan rooted in their own capacity, priorities, and core focus. This episode is a practical, workshop-style session for business owners and solopreneurs who feel buried by everything AI promises but aren't sure what to actually do with it first. If you've walked away from an event loaded with tools and no clear starting point, Tiffany's framework gives you a way to cut through the noise and put your energy where it matters most. Timeline Summary [0:01] Tiffany opens the session with three deliverables: a new way to think about AI, the Delegate and Elevate framework, and a personalized AI implementation plan [1:12] She frames the core problem: 45% of people report burnout from trying to apply AI without knowing how, and the goal is efficiency without adding decision fatigue [2:03] Tiffany introduces herself as an EOS implementer and Kolbe system coach, then names the central premise: AI mirrors your level of clarity or your chaos [5:30] Capacity calculation exercise: attendees define their 100% by identifying their ideal weekly work hours, with answers ranging from 15 to 110 [7:02] The meaning behind the framework name: delegating to someone who is strong at a task naturally elevates them, whether that someone is a team member or an AI intern [9:22] Introducing the four-quadrant worksheet: Love and Great, Like and Good, Don't Love but Can Do, and Don't Like and Not Good [10:34] The Love and Great quadrant is your genius zone: protect it, don't give it your leftovers, and never let draining tasks crowd it out [11:40] The Don't Like, Not Good quadrant is your energy trap: taxes, email, admin, and contract review come up as examples from the room [14:03] The goal is not to eliminate everything in the red quadrant at once but to identify one thing you can move away in the next quarter [16:08] Core focus exercise: attendees identify their passions and strengths to build a personal mission statement, with Tiffany sharing her own as a model [21:50] The personal vision document is introduced as a tool to keep core focus front and center, with a reminder to revisit it quarterly or annually as priorities shift [23:29] How to build your personalized AI plan: photograph your completed worksheet, feed it to AI along with your core focus, and ask for quick wins by week, quarter, and year [26:11] Attendees share their commitments aloud, including a VA hire to finish a book, YouTube video production with AI avatars, and a financial tracking app [29:27] Tiffany wraps with three takeaways: clarify your core focus, delegate or automate in alignment with it, and revisit the process regularly 5 Key Takeaways 1. AI Mirrors Your Clarity — If you bring chaos to your AI tools, they will amplify it. The prerequisite to a useful AI implementation plan is getting clear on what you actually want your work to look like, then prompting from that clarity. 2. Define Your Capacity Before You Delegate — Your 100% is not the same as anyone else's. Whether your ideal week is 15 hours or 60, knowing that number is the starting point for figuring out what needs to go, what can be automated, and what deserves your full attention. 3. Protect Your Genius Zone — The Love and Great quadrant is where your best work lives. The trap is letting draining tasks eat into it until you are giving your highest-value work your leftovers. Identifying what belongs there is the first step to guarding it. 4. Your Core Focus Filters Everything — Before deciding whether to learn a new tool or take on a new project, run it through your personal core focus. If it does not align with your purpose and strengths, it belongs in the delegate, automate, or eliminate column regardless of how exciting it looks. 5. Start With One Thing — The goal coming out of this framework is not a complete overhaul. It is identifying one task in your energy-drain quadrant that you can move away this quarter. That single shift compounds over time and creates the capacity to take on what actually matters.
