🔥 STRATEGIC SALES TIP 🔥

Ever heard this gem: "You can't close what you do not open"? Nail the intro, seal the deal. Here's how I master the art of the sales call intro.

✍️ **'Big Four' Essentials:**
- Name
- Company
- Call recording
- Purpose

Sound basic? It's a power move every successful business makes. Compliance isn't just about rules. It's a trust-builder.

📋 **Set the Agenda:**
"Based on [lead magnet], let's dive into [value point 1, 2, 3], and explore fit. No pressure."

✨ **Smooth Intro Example:**
"Hello [Name], [Rep] from Simply Noted here calling about [Product], recorded call - all good?"

💡 **Pro Tips:**
- Don't skim the essentials; ace them.
- B2B loves directness.
- Value over fluff always.

🔍 **What the Intro Isn't:**
- Small talk
- A hard pitch
- A rush job

👊 **What the Intro Is:**
A swift, info-packed launch into discovery and close. Keep it primed for success in a minute or less.

💬 **Want to elevate your sales game?**
Our Scaling Workshop in Vegas transforms intros. Limited seats, giant results.

In business, success isn't about working more hours—it's about working smarter. Here's how I ensure I'm always on the right track:

I aim to arrive ahead of schedule. Being early gives me a strategic edge. Preparation isn't just about having a plan; it's about being ready to pivot when needed. I prioritize personal connections because people do business with those they trust.

Not every opportunity is worth pursuing. I decline commitments that don't offer clear benefits. It's all about value over volume.

I make it a point to respond promptly. Time is money, and quick communication can make all the difference. Persistence in outreach ensures I stay top of mind without becoming a nuisance.

Offering meaningful contributions is my currency. It's how I prove my value to clients and colleagues alike.

Let's not shy away from mistakes. They're powerful learning tools, as long as we don't repeat them.

Finally, I emphasize core practices consistently, and when the time is right, scale them up. Consistency is key; scaling is the goal.

How do you ensure you're not just busy, but effective? Let's connect and share insights.

🚀 Ready to supercharge your business growth? Let's talk risk reversal.

I've learned that beyond guarantees lies a powerful strategy: embedding peace of mind in your offerings. Think of it as eliminating your customers' biggest fears, even after they've bought from you.

At Simply Noted, we've seen firsthand how handwritten notes can transform the game. Picture this: using personalized notes as a conduit for building trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships. It's not just a thank-you; it's a strategic move to boost lead retention or customer satisfaction.

Take a page from the risk reversal playbook and leverage the underestimated power of handwritten notes to keep your clients coming back for more.

Is your data infrastructure ready for the robotics era?

At #CES, I reconnected with Spencer Huang, Product Lead for Robotics at NVIDIA to get an update on Cosmos and GR00T.

His statement resonated with me: the companies winning in robotics have stopped waiting for perfect models. They're capturing data NOW.

Three insights that changed how I think about this space:
✅ The data problem is here 2026 will see a massive influx of real-world robotic data. But Spencer warns: "It's very easy to generate lots of data that's not useful." Winners will build pipelines to curate and synthesize quality data.
✅ Hybrid tasks = biggest opportunity The sweet spot are tasks too complex for traditional robots but not complex enough to need general AI. This is where companies can deploy TODAY.
✅ Dual simulation unlocks scale Cosmos provides diversity through natural language. Omniverse delivers physical precision. Together, they solve what seemed impossible: infinite scenarios with accurate physics.

Spencer's key insight: "If you want to leverage the technologies coming out in a year or two, capturing that data today is extremely crucial."

The inflection point for Robotics is here. What's your move?

The ChatGPT Moment for #Robotics Is Here.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA delivered one of the most significant keynotes at CES, and the message is clear: physical AI breakthroughs are unlocking entirely new applications.

Just as ChatGPT transformed how we interact with AI through language, we're now witnessing a parallel revolution in the physical world. 

Huang predicts this could become the largest technology industry the world has ever seen, driven by three key pillars: agentic AI, self-driving cars, and humanoid robots.

Here are Key Announcements:
✅ NVIDIA Cosmos - A world foundation model platform trained on 20 million hours of real-world robotics and driving videos, enabling developers to create realistic simulations for testing autonomous systems
✅ Drive AV Stack - Mercedez Benz CLA achieved the highest Euro NCAP safety score in 2025, with urban driving capabilities rolling out via OTA updates in just over a year
✅ Isaac Robotics Platform - Open frameworks including Groot 1.6 with Cosmos Reason integration, enabling generalist-specialist robots that combine broad knowledge with deep expertise
✅Jetson Thor T4-1000 - Delivering 1,200 teraflops of AI compute at just 40-70 watts, making advanced robotics accessible at scale

The shift is already happening. Hundreds of billions in VC funding and trillions in R&D budgets are transitioning from classical computing methods to AI. Companies from Boston Dynamics to LEM Surgical AG are building on this platform to transform everything from manufacturing to healthcare.

Stay tuned for my conversation wtih Spencer Huang to get the latest update on Cosmos and GR00T. 

We're moving from AI that perceives and generates to AI that perceives, reasons, plans, and acts in the physical world. The future isn't just thinking machines; it's machines that can navigate our reality safely and intelligently.

What applications of physical AI are you most excited about?

What happens when Physical AI moves from demos to real-world deployment at scale, in motion, and in the operating room?

The NVIDIA Physical AI Showcase at CES had answers everywhere.
This short video captures some of the most memorable moments.

My favorite highlights:
✅ Miroki by Enchanted Tools
A familiar face from NVIDIA GTC last year - this social, general-purpose robot is designed to support patients through care, restorative, and cognitive assistance, making human-centered robotics tangible.
✅ Reachy Mini by Reachy.ai + NVIDIA DGX Spark
I got hands-on creating a stylized image with Reachy Mini, powered by NVIDIA DGX Spark. A fun, experimental process even though the result looked more like Shrek than me 😄.
✅ TRINITY – will.i.am’s one-seat EV concept
Focused on situational awareness, TRINITY lets drivers talk to AI about traffic and surroundings in real time, processing vision locally to understand the physical world beyond a map.
✅ LEM Surgical: From Innovation to Standard of Care
Already FDA 510(k) cleared and in routine clinical use, the Dynamis system shows how NVIDIA Physical AI is advancing robotic surgery toward greater autonomy and perception.
✅ AGIBOT at Scale
AGIBOT has shipped its 5,000th humanoid robot, now deployed across hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, security, and education; proof that humanoids are moving beyond prototypes.
✅ Reconnecting with Spencer Huang (NVIDIA Robotics)
A great conversation on what Physical AI enables next and how it’s moving from research to real-world impact. Stay tuned for the upcoming CXO Spice newsletter where I will be sharing more about our conversation.

Physical AI is no longer a glimpse of the future; it’s unfolding now across healthcare, mobility, and humanoid robotics.

What does 'durability over speed' require from boards and executive teams in practice?

What is emerging at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week - ADSW is a view of leadership grounded in clarity and long-term alignment. Progress at scale is being discussed as something enabled by governance, consistency, and disciplined decision-making, rather than driven by momentum or messaging.

Partnerships are being framed as deliberate and earned, built on trust, shared values, and continuity over time. That framing will resonate with boards and executive teams operating in complex environments, where durability matters more than speed.

This perspective was articulated by Dr. Sultan Al Jaber during the opening ceremony and sits within a broader UAE emphasis on long-term alignment. Values are being positioned as a practical guide for how investments are assessed, how partners are chosen, and how progress is measured, with attention focused on systems that can hold over decades.

What separates AI leaders from followers in financial services?

I'm pleased to share my perspective as quoted in sixth annual NVIDIA State of AI in Financial Services report: 89% of financial institutions report AI is increasing revenue while decreasing costs, and 65% are now actively deploying AI.

Here's my perspective on what matters:
"Open-source models are fundamentally changing the competitive dynamics in financial AI. The real value capture happens when institutions fine-tune these models on their proprietary transaction data, customer interaction histories and market intelligence, creating AI capabilities that competitors cannot replicate."

The institutions winning in AI are treating proprietary data as a strategic advantage. With 84% prioritizing open-source models and 42% exploring agentic AI, we're witnessing the foundation of competitive differentiation being built right now.

When a cyberattack hits, will your board lead or scramble?
✅ The average data breach now costs $4.88M globally and $9.3M in the U.S.
✅ 99% of ransomware attacks target backups, with recovery taking 24 days on average.
✅ 75% of security leaders say AI-powered attacks are already having a major impact.

This threat landscape is active and accelerating today.

AI and quantum computing are reshaping the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Building higher walls won’t save you when attackers scale faster, smarter, and cheaper.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a CISO issue; it’s a boardroom mandate.

Leading organizations are changing the playbook:
✅ From preventing everything → to managing acceptable risk
✅ From defense-first → to rapid response and recovery
✅ From cost center → to strategic business enabler

What happens when your first Acumatica Summit turns into a masterclass in community?

It started with the little things: flowers, a fruit stand, Starbucks coffee. Then came the conversations, generosity, and people who truly showed up.

When my laptop charger broke, Monika Skibeness saved the day (twice!), and Shary Dye, CPA came through with a charger to power the final evening. That’s  community.

I was honored to speak at the WiT luncheon, connecting with an incredible group of women and men who are driving meaningful change across the ecosystem. Thank you Irina Barber, Ph.D. JJ DiGeronimo Loni Unser and Lori Seal.

A personal highlight was finally meeting Sanket Akerkar, now COO and President of Acumatica. I hosted Sanket on CXO Spice last year when he was CRO, so celebrating his well-deserved promotion in person felt full circle.

And because the best conferences don’t end with the last session, time on the dance floor with Marcia Kennedy and Kimberly Roma, and celebrating with Irina Barber, Ph.D. and Aliya Rakimgulova, was a reminder that real connections often happen after hours.

Meeting Acumatica founder Mikhail Shchelkonogov was truly special. Hearing firsthand how he started the company and navigated its growth added depth and meaning to everything Acumatica represents today.

🎥 I captured some of these moments in a 50 second video below.

My interviews with Paul Tedford, CEO of WM Synergy, and John Case, CEO of Acumatica will be released next week. Stay tuned.

Grateful for an unforgettable first Summit.

Are aerial robots quietly redefining how solar assets are maintained?

Drone-based cleaning is moving beyond novelty and into practical use. Instead of ground robots or rooftop crews, lightweight drones can now clear dust and sand from panels without contact; an important advantage for large solar farms where access is difficult and soiling losses add up fast.

What stands out is the operating model:
✅ Inspection and cleaning in a single pass
✅ No scaffolding or full-array shutdowns
✅ Far lower water use than conventional methods

This reframes cleaning from a periodic task into an ongoing maintenance process. It’s a subtle shift, but one that could compound into meaningful efficiency gains at scale.

It is still early, but this is a case where robotics fits the problem unusually well.
