A founder calls prospects who say they're too busy for his AI productivity tool, arguing that busyness is exactly the problem it solves. Rejecting it costs roughly ten hours of admin work weekly. He contends that the mindset keeping you busy won't get you out of it.
Okay, so I'm calling around today, cold calling literally everybody in my phone directory, asking them, we're just about to unveil something that's going to change your life. And I'm absolutely shocked and flabbergasted by the people who say, not now, I'm busy, it's not a good time. It's like, you idiot, do you not realize that the fact that you're busy is why you need an AI tool to help you become less busy? Clearly not. Anyone developing AI tools, sometimes it doesn't matter how good it is. The human mindset, the people mindset that says, I don't have time to stop and do the thing, which is the same— and this was from Einstein— the same way of thinking that got you here isn't going to get you there. So a lot of the time, no matter how good the tool is, if the person is closed-minded or too busy or unaware of how much time they could free up, it doesn't matter what you say. I just said, yep, no worries, see you when I see you around, and hang up the phone and said, okay, once we're out there in the public and then you get to see it and hear it and you come back calling me. I'm just going to have a friendly laugh saying, hey, I remember that call where you were too busy. You just lost 6 months doing an extra 10 hours a week in admin that you didn't have to do. Nothing to say, just like, what an observation.
