Stop Selling AI Tools, Start Making Money!

4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1.

Welcome to the AI Profit Leaders Podcast. I'm Lindsay Vadillo and we have Chris Weiser.

We're here with you guys.

Yeah. So welcome to our podcast. We are really excited. We're actually here right now in Austin, Texas, and our headquarters. We have an office full of really awesome AI profit leaders that are here with us today. We're kicking off this podcast to really share with you guys how you can use AI AI in your business, how you can take this out to other business owners and do what you do, do it faster, more efficiently, and so you can get out and make more money.

Yeah. And I'll tell you guys, with all of the buzz and excitement around AI, it's such a good time to build your business not only with AI, and obviously you want to put that in your back pocket and use those things and use it as a forefront piece, but you got to think about evolving your business model. I don't care whether you are we traditionally have worked with the IT industry a lot. That's kind of where I cut my teeth. Lindsay's come in here the last 3, 4 years here, worked with us. And not only if you have an IT or managed service provider firm or a cybersecurity firm, but anyone else, this is an opportunity to add AI to your existing offer. It's also an opportunity to really build an agency, not just a marketing agency or not just a tech agency, but a true AI agency to help people to, to build their businesses and make money. It's the best time I've ever seen in business. So there's some multi, multiple, multiple millionaires will be made with this shift. And my question to you is, are you going to be the one that takes control of that and handles it on your own for yourself?

Yeah, 100%. And I think if anyone's looking for direction, we did publish a book in September, October. So we've got Making Your First $1 Million with AI. You can grab this on Amazon. You can also go to AI moneyplay.com and grab your copy. So this is a quick read. You can go through the book. Book in a couple of hours, knock it out. The big thing is to make sure that you're sales-focused. So you're going to hear a lot of experts today, they're going to talk about how they're selling AI, how they're talking to their clients about AI. And the biggest thing is to make sure that you're staying sales-focused, that you're focused on actually delivering a solution and not, as Chris calls it, tool pedaling. Tool pedaling.

Yep. Well, you know, you talk about the tool pedaling thing, like, I, I totally understand that people want to focus on tools and they want to really deliver a product. And now I understand, I get it. I was a tech guy, owned a tech company, and it was very focused on that. That's kind of why we're in the IT MSP space as a core. And you just got to be really careful because we're in a world where the tools are evolving so fast, the tech is evolving so fast, you're going to peddle a tool and it's going to be outdated in weeks. And somebody's going to use that as a reason to, to put a wedge in between you and the tool. So instead of focusing on that, and again, we're not saying don't deliver tools, don't deliver systems, automations, all this other stuff, but focus on strategy, focus on sales, focus on advising. Strategy and advisement never gets outdated. So you want to lead with that and then include tools and include, include automations and include workflows and some of this other stuff. But if you lead with digital employee or cold email automation or like, it's going to be wiped off the planet in days. Yeah, if not weeks. You just got to be really careful about it. So it's such a good, good piece to talk about.
