This year's problem is then how do you translate it into business value." ALEX'S TIP: "AI is amazing. It does just crazy things for reducing time as a rep. But without guardrails in place, it can get you in some hot water if you send something over that's generated and you don't do trust but verify. We've all come through that frame of thought. We have to verify AI."

CRAIG'S TIP: "We've got to get people thinking about their job as literally a partner revenue architect who's responsible for leveraging data and AI to help generate better revenue for their partners downstream." MARC'S TIP: "Once you actually get in the trenches, no plan survives five minutes with the enemy. It's about being able to take the initial plan, make adjustments, and rinse and repeat what's working and what's not working over time."
