What if you could actually step away this December? No laptop on the couch. No checking sales between holiday dinners. Just you, your people, and a business that keeps running. I'm one of the business owners featured in Off for the Holidays, a free magazine designed by @Lucy Velazquez that goes behind the scenes on how we keep holiday sales coming in while we step away. You'll see what we set up ahead of time, how it runs while we're offline, and real examples you can borrow for your own business. Contributions from other community members like: @Monica Froese @Tara Reid @Monna Tang will be there too! It's free, but only through October 30. Grab your copy at the link HERE.

I had 105 recorded sales calls sitting in my business. Instead of trying to remember what people said, why they bought, or why they didn’t, I used AI to analyse the transcripts for patterns. That is where this got interesting. I expected AI to help me summarise the calls. What it actually gave me was business intelligence. It helped me spot patterns around: - Price and perceived value - Unclear transformation - Risk and commitment - The need for more relevant proof And some of the findings were uncomfortable. Some of the biggest were: • Sometimes what sounds like a price objection is really a clarity problem. • Sometimes “not now” is really about risk. • And sometimes the issue is not the prospect at all. It is the way the offer has been packaged or explained. That made me realise how much valuable first-party data many of us already have sitting inside our businesses. Sales calls. Discovery calls. Customer interviews. Support conversations. DMs. AI can help us interrogate that data at a speed we simply could not manage manually. I break down the four discoveries and what I’m changing as a result in this video. Check out the full video here and let me know what business data are you sitting on that AI could help you learn from? Chelena 🖤
