What's one situation where you wish you had more confidence? How would it change things for you?

Confidence is key, especially in areas like leadership, sales, and fundraising.

If you come across as doubtful while pitching your business, it makes you seem unsure of its success. Imagine what this does to an investor, if you don’t believe in it, why would they?

This doesn’t mean you have to ‘lie’ about your product or service. Lying creates unhappy customers, which harms word-of-mouth marketing and retention rates.

Example:
You’re an early-stage tech startup in the building phase. Your product is buggy, but you’re solving a major issue for your customers. Instead of focusing on the flaws, highlight the ROI of solving that problem. Convince them by saying:

“We’re a startup that will go all in for you, allowing you to co-create key parts of our product as we continue developing. This makes sure the solution meets your exact needs while saving you development resources, all while supporting an early-stage company.”

Feel free to reach out if you want to learn how to speak with confidence to different stakeholders and achieve success.

How can I find someone to help me assess opportunities for AI-tech that will improve a business such as a distillery?

Hi there,

You can apply it for process optimization, prediction, quality control, automation and avoidance of waste.

For example, depending on your current process, if it's already quite automated, you fetch sensor data of the machinery. Think about temperature, pressure, and flow rate to identify optimal operating conditions.

This way you become more efficient, use less energy, which can lead to cost saving and improved product quality.

A prediction on top of it, will avoid down time issues and eliminate blockers on 'promises' to sales partners and avoidance of sales disruptions.

Automation might also be important. Today, you might use 'people' in some areas of the process. Avoiding human errors and lack of people can help you to keep your business going and cut costs.

Last but not least, Co2 is going to be a mandatory measurement on end to end processes. Which means, waste is costly and causes unnecessary Co2. AI can help you optimize inventory management and grow profitability with +15% to net zero over time.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Sinem
