Google Quietly Changed Everything

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. Follow-up is no longer optional
   If you’re not following up fast, AI just gave your competitor the advantage.

2. Business is built on conversation
   Most people treat email like a task. Winners treat it like a relationship engine.

3. AI isn’t coming. It’s already here
   And it just showed up inside the inbox your customers live in.

4. There’s no more “too busy to reply”
   You either stay top of mind or fall off their radar completely.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Every email thread is a relationship opportunity
   You’re one thoughtful follow-up away from a deal, a referral or a new connection.

2. Speed is trust
   If AI can help you follow up in minutes instead of weeks, use it.

3. Manual effort is no longer a badge of honor
   Efficiency isn’t cheating. It’s how you stay in the game long enough to win.

4. Tech is leverage
   The right tools multiply your presence without multiplying your stress.

4 Challenges for You TODAY

1. Revisit the last 5 deals you “lost”
   Ask yourself if you followed up the way you should have. Be honest.

2. Install a basic AI integration inside your Gmail
   Even a simple email summary or follow-up tool is better than flying blind.

3. Make a list of your top 25 contacts
   Use AI to remind you to touch base with them regularly.

4. Join the DM Alliance
   We’re not just talking about trends. We’re building systems around them. If you want help staying ahead, this is where you want to be.

The business world is shifting fast.

The ones who adapt early won’t just survive. They’ll dominate.

Let the others keep typing their follow-ups from scratch.

We’ll be 10 steps ahead, building trust at scale.
