📍 Weekly Exclusive Interviews
This week’s B2B consulting data points to a market where visibility, selling, and execution are all being rewritten by AI. Kyle Bailey shows why AI search optimization now requires content to act like a recognizable entity, not just a keyword target.
Roi Carmel’s sales enablement data highlights how reps are still spending less than 30% of their time doing the work they do best, which makes AI-driven assistance a practical advantage rather than a nice-to-have.
Chris Daigle’s mid-market data rounds out the picture, with 91% of mid-market companies already using AI and pushing it deeper into daily operations.

The throughline is simple: AI is rewarding companies that are clearer, faster, and more operationally disciplined than their peers. Teams that define their content as entities, free sellers from low-value work, and embed AI into core business processes will compound gains while laggards keep retrofitting old habits.
