About this episode
The four decisions that beat waiting for a corporate AI strategy to arrive
Ava counted nine different AI tools across her twelve SEs — because she never actually decided anything. She and Nate work through the four decisions a PreSales leader can make in the first thirty days: one environment, three data sources, one bootcamp, one recurring forum.
What Nate and Ava discuss
Why standardizing on one enterprise-capable environment beats letting nine shadow tools grow
Which data access to unlock first — email, calendar, CRM — and what to do when your CRM data is a swamp
How a bi-weekly hot seat plus a tool-agnostic repository turns one person's build into a team asset
The move
Block two hours this week and write down four things: one environment, three data sources in priority order, one bootcamp date, one recurring call with a named owner. Then add a protected learning hour with the sources already listed.
