Maxime Warnault cites Naval's idea that sales, marketing, and product are compensatory failures: you do sales because you failed at marketing, marketing because you failed at product. Most creators have either great marketing with a weak product or vice versa. AI proficiency fixes both, letting you build better products and market them well without the tradeoff.

Naval said, "You're doing sales because you failed at marketing, and you're doing marketing because you failed at product." You will still find people who are amazing at marketing but have shitty products because they don't know how to leverage AI to the fullest of its capacity. And you will still have people with amazing products and shitty marketing because, once again, they don't know how to use AI really well. And if you know how to use AI really well and you have experience, you have the foundations to make it give you the great outputs, then you're going to have amazing marketing and you're going to have an amazing product that delivers clients results fast, easy, and cheap. Ah, cheap is always in the question, uh, because you want to make money at the end of the day, but Using AI makes everything easier and better, so use AI.
