Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the next shiny thing; it's a game-changer. Giving businesses (big and small) a real competitive advantage, it adds efficiency and intelligence to operations. Early adopters are already reaping the benefits of AI, and small businesses can't afford to be left behind. Technology has become the backbone of growth for many successful small businesses, creating a foundation that enables you to grow and scale with ease. It also helps alleviate one of the perpetual challenges for small business: a lack of resource and the consequent need to do more with less.

While the crowded marketing technology landscape can be quite daunting, a good starting point for most businesses is to execute upon the martech basics most appropriate for them and assess new trends and innovative solutions for fit and benefits. It has been gratifying for me to help many companies do so and see their sales pipeline and revenues grow, whether in the Chief Marketing Officer role at VFA and PlatformQ Health or as a consultant to technology companies. For example, after executing on martech basics like marketing automation, CRM, and search, the mobile and digital focus was crucial at VFA and community engagement was vital at PlatformQ Health.

During this time, it's critical for teams to recognize their most productive salespeople, which can be a tricky endeavor.
