GM to the Top 1% ☕

Last Sunday night I put my daughter to bed and sat at the kitchen table with a question I couldn't shake.

PwC just announced they're training 30,000 professionals on Claude. Deploying it across a global workforce of hundreds of thousands. Building a joint center of excellence with Anthropic. The Big 4 firm that advises your buyer on strategic decisions is now running Claude in every engagement.

The question I kept asking myself was this: when my daughter enters the workforce, is there any version of a high-stakes professional conversation that doesn't involve AI on both sides of the table?

The answer was obvious. No.

What's less obvious is what that means for enterprise sales right now, in 2026, when that future is already beginning.

💡 WHEN YOUR BUYER'S ADVISOR RUNS CLAUDE, THE DEAL CHANGES

Here's what PwC's deployment means for every enterprise rep selling into large accounts.

Your buyer's strategic advisors are now running AI against your proposal. They are using AI to evaluate your pricing model against alternatives, your proof points against industry benchmarks, your roadmap against analyst projections. When PwC walks into a board meeting to advise on a technology purchase, they are arriving with AI-synthesized competitive analysis.

If you are not doing the same, you are the least prepared person in the deal.

But there's something more interesting here than just preparation parity.

The PwC deployment means that the language of AI is becoming native to your buyer's advisors. That means every enterprise rep who speaks that language fluently, who understands how models work, who can have a peer-level conversation about AI governance and model risk and data handling, has a credibility advantage that purely technical reps don't have and purely relationship reps don't have.

The AI-native sales rep is the one who closes the next decade of enterprise deals. Not because they automate more. Because they speak the language their buyers' advisors now speak.

I think about my daughter growing up in a world where that's the baseline. I think about the skills I'm building now as the foundation she'll inherit. That's why I keep doing this work on Sunday nights.

🔧 THE 4-PART AI FLUENCY TEST FOR ENTERPRISE REPS

Can you answer these four questions without hesitation? Your buyers' advisors can.

1. What is the difference between a foundation model and a fine-tuned model, and why does it matter for enterprise data security? If you can't answer this, you cannot have the AI governance conversation that stalls deals. Learn it this week.

2. What is MCP (Model Context Protocol) and why is it relevant to enterprise AI integration? Anthropic introduced MCP in late 2024. It is now a standard. If your product connects to enterprise workflows, you will be asked about it.

3. What is the EU AI Act and what does it require of your product by August 2026? Article 50. Disclosure requirements. If you have European accounts, you need a crisp answer.

4. When your buyer says "we need to run this through AI governance," what exactly are they evaluating? Model risk, data residency, PII handling, output auditability, and bias testing. Know all five.

🎯 THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK

Pick the one question above you cannot answer confidently right now. Spend 20 minutes this week getting to a clear, conversational answer. Not a technical deep dive. A peer-level explanation you could give across a table. That's the bar. That's the work.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

What does your sales career look like in 5 years if you treat AI fluency as a core competency rather than a nice-to-have?

Take 60 seconds and actually answer that question. Reply if you want to share what you see.

See you tomorrow.
