The term, “prompt engineering,” is relatively new to most of us. While software developers and AI specialists have understood the concept for year, it’s very new for the rest of the world. But as the LLMs have emerged and grown, the concepts of prompt engineering are starting to fill our feeds.

In the realm of finance, few innovations have stirred as much debate and pleasure as Bitcoin. Born out of a choice for decentralization and economic sovereignty, Bitcoin has challenged conventional notions of foreign money and ignited discussions about the destiny of finance. However, its meteoric upward thrust has additionally raised issues about law and oversight.

Struggling to find a job in SaaS today? Here’s the thing. On the one hand, jobs are fewer, layoffs are up, and spend it tighter. Everyone has to be 2x or more as efficient as 2021. But on the other hand … literally almost every SaaS company I know doing even reasonably well is hiring. And … struggling to find anyone truly good for their roles. So finding a job may be 5x harder than 2021, but there are still a vast number of unfilled roles at just about every good or great SaaS company.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

“Buying” customers can work. Just not all that well over the long haul, it turns out. Direct-response, digital ads (like paid search) are among the best converting channels anywhere. Like, ever. In the history of time. No joke. Google it. It’s the #1 best way to spend money today to generate revenue tomorrow. (Or even over the next ~2-3 months.) But here’s why this can set you down a dangerous path if you aren’t careful – and actually result in a higher CPL over the long term. 1.
