AI won’t save the day. It can help…and sometimes transform. It can also automate the wrong work, distract and amplify misalignment.

Most leadership teams haven’t adopted AI because they were confused. They adopted it because they were under pressure. Now, after rolling out tools and experiments, many teams are working harder and feeling less certain about what’s actually driving revenue because “nothing’s really changed”.

What I do

I work with CEOs and revenue leaders who have tried multiple tools, programs or people – and seen little traction. 

I don’t sell AI tools or implement workflows. I don’t manage SDR teams or design prompts.  I help leadership teams step back and see what’s actually happening in their revenue system right now, where AI is helping, where it’s creating noise, and what needs to stop before more is added.  This is the time to think different. 

The last thing you need is another tool or initiative.

How it works

I work with leaders who are tired of months of “wondering” and want answers.  I use a surgical diagnostic approach to create clarity in weeks (if not days).

What leaders get

You won’t get a fat report or weighty slide deck that looks impressive. You get a decisional instrument including:

   > The ‘Kill’ List: A definitive assessment of which initiatives are ‘Phantom Revenue’ traps. We identify exactly what to stop or put on ‘simmer’ immediately to free up time and energy.

   > The Predictable Memo: The 1-3 vital priorities for the next 90 days, defined with enough operational clarity that the team can begin executing them the next day.

   > The Narrative: A clear, unified argument you can use to align the Board and the internal team on why the changes (whether bold or boring) are important.  

   > Realistic Implementation Steps for overloaded teams on ‘who does what’, whether it’s leveraging internal people, external vendors or myself. 

Why this exists now (+ new book on the way)

You cannot build Predictable Revenue the same old way in chaotic markets.

For more than a decade, I taught companies how to build revenue machines. Now, I see teams pouring AI ‘gas’ into leaky engines. This doesn’t create speed; it creates noise. 

And – we’re in a new normal of opportunity overwhelm. When your market’s saturated with near-infinite activity, and competitors can instantly copy your every move, the classic playbooks break down.

When everyone has a superpower (with AI), then no one has a superpower.  AI will be just like another utility such as gas or the internet.  But this changes what durable differentiation & success requires in a post-AI world.

These patterns are what I’m documenting in my next book, Phantom Revenue (working title), on how companies navigate overwhelmed buyers, instant commoditisation and constant change.

Who this is for

This work is for CEOs & revenue leaders at roughly $3–100M ARR, who are under pressure to move faster, but the results aren’t matching the time and energy put into them.

If you’re looking for someone to implement AI outbound tactics, this isn’t that.

Investment

$15k for phase 1.  Phase 2 (if relevant) would be decided along with the recommendations.  

This is designed to save you quarters of wasted effort and six figures in misguided spend or lost growth.

Next step

If this resonates, book a short conversation to see if it’s a fit.
