GM to the Top 1% ☕
Last Tuesday I lost a deal I had been working for 11 months. The CTO told me on the call: "We found a platform that does what your solution does, but without the headcount." I sat in silence for five seconds. It felt like five minutes.
That deal taught me something I needed to hear. And it changed how I approach every conversation now.
💡 WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
I had everything. The ROI model. The champion. The technical win. The deal was in commit for three consecutive quarters. And then their board asked one question: why pay for seats when an agent can run the workflow?
The CTO was not being difficult. He was being rational. The market shifted while I was running the old playbook. The value proposition I had built over 11 months could be replicated by a platform and a prompt.
That night I picked up my daughter from daycare. She was holding a drawing of a purple house with a yellow sun. She said: "Daddy, I made this for you because you looked tired." Three years old. And she read the room better than I did on that call.
🔧 THE TRUST OVER TECHNOLOGY PRINCIPLE
1. Accept the New Reality: If your value proposition can be replicated by a platform and a prompt, it is not a value proposition. It is a feature. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can rebuild around what actually differentiates you.
2. Sell the Human Edge: Trust, judgment, stakeholder navigation, emotional intelligence. These are the things AI cannot automate. Make them the center of your pitch, not the afterthought.
3. Build Relationships That Survive the Reset: The deals that survive the AI reset are the ones anchored in personal trust. Your champion does not fight for a product. They fight for a person they trust.
4. Make the Buyer Feel Something: AI can generate a perfect email, a flawless deck, and a comprehensive ROI model. But it cannot make a buyer feel understood. That is your edge. Use it every single day.

🎯 THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
Pick your most important deal. Write down the one thing you bring to that deal that no AI agent can replicate. If you struggle to answer that, you have your assignment for the week.
❓ QUESTION OF THE DAY
When was the last time a buyer chose you because of who you are, not what your product does?
You do not have to answer in public. But be honest with yourself.

P.S. Behind the scenes: after losing that deal, I spent the weekend rebuilding my entire value positioning framework. I am testing it on three live deals right now. If it works, I will share the full playbook in a future issue.
