Zoom just paid millions to acquire an AI sales tool. Your competitors are watching. But before you panic-buy something similar, read this.
You've probably already got a $200/month AI subscription sitting unused. Maybe two. A consultant promised results, then went quiet. That's not you being tech-stupid — that's the AI industry selling solutions before understanding your actual problem.
Here's what the Zoom acquisition actually tells us. Big companies are buying AI tools that track buying signals — meaning they watch where potential customers are already active and surface that to sales teams automatically. Not magic. Just pattern recognition applied to data you probably already have.
The insight worth keeping: before any AI tool works, you need clarity on one specific bottleneck. Not "AI for sales." More like "we lose leads between first contact and follow-up." That's a solvable problem with a narrow, affordable tool.
One practical step you can take this week: write down the single task in your sales or marketing process that costs the most time per week. That's your starting point for any AI conversation — not the vendor's pitch, yours.
What's one repetitive task in your business you keep saying "there has to be a better way" about?
