AI is replacing weak sales teams - I build growth systems for the AI era | Founder @ Lean Sales Systems

I see most teams fail to adapt AI in B2B sales. They test some "AI SDR" tool or hire a freelance "'AI specialist" from upwork to glue

• LinkedIn or "Apollo io" scraper
• A Google Sheet
• 3 ChatGPT prompts
• Email sequencing tool on top

And call it "AI-POWERED-SALES" that will grow your company 24/7.

0.01% in cases hardly true

And sad part is how 99% of "AI Sales" Agents are built today

- they target same leads from same databases
- same unverified contacts that ruin email deliverability
- writes robotic "personlaization" messages
- 0 to no sales strategy that could give you an edge
- no relevent targeting, no intent

Result -

- Companies fail to use AI in systems, their own workflows
- Limited understanding of AI capabilities
- Distrust of AI solutions
- No competitive edge

Dear sales people,

Shamelessly promote your product.

Today EU head of sales & sales managers are holding back:

1. They avoid offending some one
2. Afraid to come of "salesy"
3. Follows imaginary GDPR rules
4. Starts emails with "i hope this email finds you well"
5. Looks for the 1 perfect prospect while dissmising 9 others

Meanwhile, my AI halucination resulted in more closed deals.

I am where I am because I took more shots. More assymetric risks.
Sales & marketing is about effectiveness - not perfection.

In 3 years of providing sales / marketing services I talked to ~200 teams. Most have growth problems because they under advertise.

-They don't reach the whole market
-They use one or few channels
-They test 1-2 campaigns / tools
-Quantity of outreach is too low
-Quantity of content is too low
-Go-To-Market plan relying on luck and referrals.

That's why they search for new AI "magic pills"
or keep hiring more people to drown in slow systems.

No alternative text description for this image

I don’t use AI to replace sales reps. I use AI to remove the 60–70% of their job that shouldn’t exist + hire 100 AI agents to get extra things done.

Over the last few years, I’ve rebuilt sales processes for dozens of B2B teams across Europe.

And almost every time, I see the same thing:
 • Hard-working people
 • Weak infrastructure

Proof? - Salesforce reports that sellers spend roughly 28–40% of their week actually selling.

Meaning 60–72% is non-selling work.

📜 When I ask business owners what their sales teams actually do, I hear the same story:

• Updating CRM manually
• Copying data between tools
• Researching LinkedIn accounts
• Finding contact details
• Preparing lead lists
• Researching companies from scratch
• Losing time in task switching
• Sending one message at a time, hoping it starts a conversation

Then leadership says:

“We need more sales.”
“We need to hire.”
“We need that AI tool.”

None of those remove friction.

⚡️Here’s how we actually use sales tech inside B2B teams:

• Build and enrich lead lists at scale
• Track company news and sales intent
• Run specific company research automatically
• Identify decision-maker contacts instantly
• Log CRM activity without manual input
• Send personalized outreach at scale to increase conversations
• Create structured tasks automatically for cold calls and follow-ups
• Fill documents and templated materials that reps normally complete manually

🤝 This way, saels people don’t disappear.
But the admin work does.
And productivity doubles.

AI tech is one of key helpers today.
A business can literally deploy 100 AI agents overnight.
You can’t hire even 10 reps next month.

The companies integrating AI into workflow infrastructure now will quietly gain leverage and start stealing market share from those “experimenting with ChatGPT.”

It won’t happen overnight.

But it is happening 1 day at a time. 1 team at a time.

Former Google Head of Sales & LinkedIn Managing Director | Creator of The Top 5% Method® | Helping High-Performing Professionals Build Influence and Design Elite Careers

Most careers are built by default.

The top 5% achievers design them deliberately.

I spent more than two decades inside the growth engines of the technology industry, including 10 years at Google and leadership roles at LinkedIn where I scaled billion-dollar portfolios across sales, marketing, product, and go-to-market strategy.

During that time, one pattern became impossible to ignore.

The professionals who rise fastest are not simply the most capable.

They understand how visibility, positioning, and influence operate inside complex organizations.

That insight became the foundation for The Top 5% Method®.

A strategic framework that helps high-performing professionals move from:

Execution → Strategic influence
Competence → Authority
Career ladder → Career architecture

Since 2015, I have coached 15,000+ professionals globally, including large leadership cohorts at Google, helping ambitious leaders redesign their trajectories and accelerate their impact.

Today I am the Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Driving Impact, where I advise high performers and emerging leaders on how to:

• design intentional career trajectories
• become visible to decision-makers
• navigate power structures inside organizations
• build authority beyond their job title
• develop diversified income and portfolio careers

My clients include professionals from organizations such as:

Google
Accenture
Mastercard
Deloitte
LinkedIn
Delta
Barclays
and high-growth startups.

I also host Driving Impact: The Top 5% Method® Podcast, ranked in Apple’s Top 200 Business Podcasts, where I explore how top performers build influence, authority, and long-term impact.

AI isn’t complicated. It’s just explained terribly.

If you're building with AI, here are 12 core concepts you need to know:

(From Luís Rodrigues, give him a follow)

1/ LLM (Large Language Model)

Massive neural networks trained on billions of words to predict and generate human-like text.
 
Used in: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot

2/ Tokens

AI reads in chunks, not characters. "Unbelievable" might be 3 tokens. Every token costs compute and money.
 
Used in: Model planning, API pricing, context management

3/ Prompt Engineering

How you ask matters as much as what you ask. I've gotten completely different outputs from the same model just by restructuring one sentence.
 
Used in: Content creation, business automation, image generation

4/ Transformers

The architecture powering modern AI. Self-attention lets the model weigh which words matter most in a sentence: "bank" means something different near "river" vs "money."
 
Used in: All modern LLMs, Google Search

5/ AI Agents

Models that plan, take actions, and loop back on results without a human clicking next at every step.
 
Used in: Workflow automation, research, multi-step tasks

6/ Context Window

Think of it as working memory. The bigger the window, the more text the model can hold and reason over at once. GPT-4 started at 8K tokens. Some models now handle 1M+.

7/ Multimodality

One model handling text, images, audio, and video. You can describe a photo, transcribe speech, and generate a report in a single pipeline.
 
Used in: Visual search, video analysis, accessibility tools

8/ RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)

Instead of relying only on training data, RAG fetches relevant info before answering. Helps a lot with accuracy and keeping things current.
 
Used in: Enterprise chatbots, customer support, documentation tools

9/ AI Alignment

Teaching models to behave in ways that are actually safe and useful. This is arguably the hardest problem in the field.

10/ Embeddings

Text turned into numbers that capture meaning. "Dog" and "puppy" end up closer together than "dog" and "spreadsheet."
 
Used in: Search engines, recommendation systems, document comparison

11/ Fine-tuning

Training a general model on specific data so it gets good at one thing. A base model knows everything broadly. A fine-tuned one knows your domain.
 
Used in: Medical diagnosis, custom chatbots, industry tools

 
12/ Hallucination

AI doesn't know what it doesn't know. It fills gaps with plausible-sounding, sometimes completely wrong answers. This is why human review still matters.
 
Impact: Trust, accuracy, business decisions

12 Most Know GenAI terms from Luis Rodrigues

I built an app today.

Zero lines of code. Zero developers. Zero excuses.

because my students are busy. They're execs, high-performers, people in the middle of career pivots... and they want the Top 5% Method® Career Accelerator in their pocket, on the go... or wherever life takes them.

So I built it.
Live. By myself. In one afternoon.

With Replit, I went from "I wish I had an app" to "I have an app" 
and the whole thing felt almost unfairly easy.

This is what the new era of building looks like. You don't even need to wait anymore. You just need to start.


With replit, see how beautiful life is.

I Help Tech 👩🏾‍💻 Workers Become more secure in their Career, Pivot & Grow their Brand Authority | Fortune 100 Revenue Leader | Former Google, LinkedIn & Deloitte |

Emma Watson just said what every ambitious woman needs to hear right now.

"I'm WILLING to move forward even when I feel alone. 
I'm WILLING to go to bed each night at peace with myself. 
I'm WILLING to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful self."

Notice:
she didn't say "I will when I'm ready."
Or "I will when they notice me..."
Or "I will once I have permission...."

Just willing... and that's the key...

This International Women's Month, your willingness is your superpower.

Your readiness to move forward... 
even scared, 
even alone, 
even without permission... 
that's what separates you from everyone still waiting for the "right time."

What are you willing to do today that you've been putting off?

They don’t need your perfection.
They just need your honesty.


The insight you think is “basic”
is someone else’s breakthrough.

The lesson you learned the hard way
is someone else’s shortcut.


When you carry a gift... when you carry God’s light. When your experience could help someone move forward, it's your duty to share it.

Even if it feels ordinary to you...
It might be life-changing for THEM.

Share your gift.

You’ve been told to wait your turn.
To stay humble...
Keep your head down. 

What nobody tells you:
These myths were never made to help you rise ❌

They were made to keep you safe.
But not successful.

In this carousel, I’m breaking down 7 outdated career myths women are still told, and what you actually need to believe instead.

It’s time to rewrite the rules.
Unlearn the noise.
And build a career your way.


Myth #1: “If I work hard, I’ll be noticed.”

Myth #2: “I need to be 100% qualified 
before applying.”

Myth #3: “Saying no makes me difficult.”

Myth #4: “Career breaks are a setback.”

Myth #5: “Good girls get promoted.”

Myth #6: “I shouldn’t talk about my accomplishments.”

CAREER MYTHS YOU NEED TO UNLEARN NOW

Your AI can process data.
But it can not build trust.


And in an AI-first world, trust becomes the real advantage… Your x-factor.

Because trust is not a vibe. It’s heartfelt consistent behavior over a long time period. 


Here are 20 ways to build trust at work and in your relationships, organized into 5 frameworks you can actually remember:

1) The TRUST Stack (the order matters)
Make outcomes repeatable
Close loops fast
Prove you understand
Create emotional safety
Tell the whole story

2) The 4 C’s of Credibility
6. Show your work
7. Be predictably solid
8. Make it about their win
9. Say the hard thing early

3) The Integrity Triangle
10. Match words & actions
11. Reveal incentives (“here’s what I’m optimizing for”)
12. No secret standards
13. Own your part

4) The Repair Protocol
14. Name the impact
15. Take clean responsibility
16. Offer a fix + deadline
17. Rebuild proof over time

5) The Trust Flywheel
18. Start with clarity (roles, decisions, timelines, expectations)
19. Ask for “friction feedback”
20. Call out trust wins publicly

If you want to stand out while everyone else is automating… become  the person people can trust under pressure AND in multiple contexts! 

Now... Which language of trust do you practice right now: reliability, candor, or repair?

♻️ Repost to remind everyone that trust still wins.

an infographic that says "20 ways to build trust" 

Be so deeply invested in your own growth
that you don’t have time to keep score.

Most people waste years doing the opposite.
Chasing validation. Watching what everyone else is doing.

Instead of showing up to learn and grow.

The breakthrough?
It’s simpler than you think.

Comparing yourself to others says:
→ Watch, judge, measure yourself against them

Investing in yourself says:
→ Focus inward, notice your own gaps, fill them

One blocks growth.
The other fuels it.

When you’re stuck comparing:
❌ You compete instead of connect
❌ You hide gaps instead of closing them
❌ You stop learning when ego takes over

The cost is:
Missed connection, collaboration, and growth.

Because the reality is:
People rally around effort, not image.
And the more time you spend watching other people’s grass,
the less you water your own.

Three hidden ways “focusing on others” hurts your career:

1/ You get defensive, not curious
↳ Every question feels like an attack

2/ You measure success by their standards, not your own
↳ Nothing you do feels like enough

3/ You build walls, not bridges
↳ Feedback feels like failure

The antidote? Flip to growth mode.

The energy you spend protecting your image
can become fuel for real improvement

Micro‑habits that shift you from comparing to investing:
↳ Ask “What can I learn from this?” instead of “Why are they better?”
↳ Name one gap out loud this week. Vulnerability breaks the armour.
↳ Follow people ahead of you to learn their blueprint, not to measure yourself.
↳ When you feel defensive, ask “What’s true here?” instead of defending.
↳ Share a recent failure. It signals growth, not weakness.

You are not the same as anyone else.
And you shouldn’t aim to be.

Focus on improvement, not comparison, 
and watch your world change.


📌 Save this for when you drift into "grass is greener" mode.
➕ Follow my friend Maryann (MJ) Jamieson who wrote this and inspires me every day.

A quote that says "be so busy watering your own grass that you don't have time to check if someone else'se is greener. from Maryann (MJ) Jamieson

She was brilliant but invisible.

Smart. Experienced.... The real deal. 
But, she was still the best kept secret in her field.

I recently spoke with a consultant specializing in AI governance for financial services firms. 

She wasn’t attracting decision-makers.
No CEOs, no CFOs, no Chief AI officers...
No steady inbound leads.
No clear authority positioning.

The harsh reality… is that LinkedIn has evolved.
Posting is not going to be enough.
Polished content without positioning does not convert.

She didn’t need more content.
She needed a clear Brand Authority strategy.

We’re now refining her positioning, and building sales, marketing, and content systems that turns visibility into executive-level conversations. 

AND LEADS!

If you’re a consultant or expert who wants to:
• Attract decision-makers
• Build inbound leads
• Become the go-to in your niche

It’s time your LinkedIn matched your expertise.

AI video agents are changing how teams upskill.

Not by “adding more training” but by reducing ramp time, and keeping skills current as roles change. And your competitors already know this…

Traditional training struggles with speed and consistency.
Work changes weekly. 
Skills decay fast. 

And enablement teams can’t update content forever.

Join us for a practical session: https://hubs.ly/Q043jFf10

AI for Upskilling: Building Workforce Capability with Video Agents

📅 Feb 19 · 5:00 pm CET / 4:00 pm UK / 11:00 am ET

We’ll cover:
•⁠ Where AI video agents beat traditional training (and where they don’t)
•⁠ What they can improve: time-to-competence, consistency, adaptability
•⁠ How to evaluate cost vs. value without betting on hype

Who it’s for
Anyone responsible for learning, enablement, or workforce readiness at scale.

Speakers
•⁠ Kevin Alster   — Strategic Advisor, Synthesia (Moderator)
•⁠ Craig Watson — VP of Product, Synthesia
•⁠ Dominic Holmes — Senior Principal, Value & Strategy (EMEA), Cornerstone

If ramp time and skills drift are on your 2026 agenda, this will be worth your time.
