Your team bought an AI tool. Nobody uses it. Sound familiar?
You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. The tools were sold wrong from the start.
Here's what most AI vendors won't tell you: the reason AI fails in most businesses isn't the technology. It's that nobody decided who owns it. Your team keeps doing what they've always done, the tool sits on a shelf, and $200/month quietly disappears.
A recent MarTech article nailed something important. Years of running campaigns in silos — separate teams, disconnected data, mismatched tools — created the exact conditions where AI can't succeed. AI works best when it connects things, not when it gets dropped into a broken setup.
The fix isn't rebuilding your business. It's picking one person on your team to own one AI use case. Not the whole strategy. One use case. Maybe it's summarizing customer feedback. Maybe it's first drafts of emails. Small, contained, measurable.
That's how you get your first real win — and prove to yourself (and your team) that this actually works.
Start there. Everything else follows.
What's the one place in your business where a small AI win would make the biggest difference right now?
