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”.
AI doesn’t create these problems. It exposes the ones that were already there. And in a fast-changing world, unless everything’s already cranking along and all you need is more gas – position matters more than pace.
What I do
I work with CEOs and revenue leaders who already understand the basics of AI, have tried multiple tools, and still feel like something important is missing.
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.
The last thing you need is another tool or initiative.
The work is about restoring clarity to unlock predictability.
How it works
I work with leaders who are tired of months of “wondering” and want rapid, concrete answers. I use a surgical diagnostic approach. With focused leadership interviews and targeted data requests, I isolate the root causes of misalignment in weeks, not months.
What leaders get
You won’t get a fat report or weighty slide deck that looks impressive, but gathers dust. 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.
Why this exists now (+ new book on the way)
You cannot build Predictable Revenue on unpredictable AI.
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. AI amplifies what’s already working in GTM, it doesn’t fix what’s broken.
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 have already invested in AI, feel pressure to move faster, and are uneasy about direction. It’s for leaders who feel like the last thing needed is “another new initiative” (aka more work). This project creates less work and more direction.
If you’re looking for someone to implement AI outbound tactics, this isn’t that.
Investment
$15,000. This is a rapid, senior-level intervention 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.
