Warren Buffett, a towering figure in the financial world, voiced his concerns about artificial intelligence during his annual meeting in May. He compared AI to the development of nuclear weapons: “We let a genie out of the bottle when we developed nuclear weapons.

Forget the noise, though. What are the most important initiatives to tackle for the rest of the year?

When was the last time you really looked around the toothpaste aisle? It’s overwhelming. You’re faced with a huge amount of choices — possibly even dozens depending on the store you’re in. Imagine having to actually make a buying decision purely by shopping through the toothpaste aisle. My guess is that you’d either get overwhelmed and choose something that you later regret, or you’d choose to buy nothing at all.

Marketers are starting to think big about AI in marketing. Different organizations will take various routes to achieve their goals.

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.

Some might say cold calling is dead. However, it's far from the truth. Is it harder than it used to be? Yes. Is it completely dead? No. I still talk to teams today, converting at a high rate by leveraging cold calling. Yet, when I work with some teams I notice that they aren't making any calls. Why? It's because of the fear of rejection. Fear of rejection is why people believe cold calling is dead and avoid doing it.

It’s iOS update season again, and email marketers need to get ready. The good news is that while iOS 18 is expected to be released in mid to late September, similar to previous years, the changes affecting Apple Mail aren’t available in beta yet. This likely means they won’t be part of the initial update. (Don’t take my word for it. Apple’s preview mentioned that the changes are “ coming later this year ,” which, to me, makes it more likely they’ll be released separately and at a later date.
