AI + Humans = The Winning Formula Most support queries? AI can handle them. But what about the ones that need a human touch? That’s where the hybrid approach wins. Let AI handle the predictable—freeing up your team to focus on what really matters. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gsP_8svB

Can AI make live chat more human? Imagine a support rep juggling 30 conversations at once—without losing context. AI can deliver speed, but the real win? Amplifying human insight and building stronger connections. Sam Mallikarjunan makes the case for using AI to enhance—not replace—your team’s ability to engage meaningfully.

Why more isn’t always better. AI has made it easier than ever to churn out content and emails at scale. But when everyone’s doing the same thing, standing out gets harder—not easier. Sam Mallikarjunan explains why scaling mediocrity won’t cut it and how AI should be used to create impact, not just volume. Question for you: Are you using AI to be faster—or to be better?

"Would you train with AI?" Picture this—an AI agent that acts like a prospect, helping sales reps sharpen their pitch before facing real leads. Or AI-powered marketing tools that create campaigns so niche they feel tailor-made. AI is no longer about one-size-fits-all. It’s about personalization at scale. Where do you see AI making the biggest impact—sales training or hyper-specific marketing?

Outbound strategies often fall flat because they prioritize volume over value. Sam Mallikarjunan reminds us that the core of effective marketing—whether inbound or outbound—is offering something useful before asking for attention. If your outreach sounds like every other script, it’s just noise. But when it’s genuinely interesting and value-packed, people notice. 👉 Check out the podcast for insights on using AI to move beyond mediocrity: https://lnkd.in/gsP_8svB

#LearnFromExperts Founders don't know how to balance Product and Sales efforts and end up blowing it all. Our podcast guest, Dave Boyce from Winning by Design says - "Why did the growth stop? Because that promise—like, VCs have your back, there’s more money where that came from—went away." Running out of cash remains one of the top reasons startups fail. Over-indexing on sales at the wrong time only accelerates this risk. 💡 Less than 5% of founders truly understand how to get their products to market. Product-led growth (PLG) should feel natural—it aligns with what buyers want, and founders do best: creating great products. But here’s the challenge 👉 Founders often get influenced early by VCs pushing a sales-and-marketing-heavy approach. The result? Sales-led approach dominates spend (>65% of all company spend) before the product has a chance to stand on its own. When capital dries up or raising becomes harder, pivoting back to PLG can feel devastating. So how do you balance product and sales from the start? At ThriveStack, we believe in empowering SaaS Leaders to harmonize both motions—Product-Led and Sales-Led Growth to their own individual strengths. 🚀 Ready to get started?
