In this episode of Future Craft GTM, Ken Roden and Erin Mills explore how AI is reshaping every layer of go-to-market, from automating rote tasks to powering deep research. They kick off with Ken’s wild DMV robo-caller story and Erin’s bespoke AI-curated newsletter. Returning guest Tahnee Perry shares hard-won lessons on driving revenue with AI, upskilling non-technical marketers, and building scalable AI workflows. You’ll learn how to:
- Measure true AI impact (hint: tie it to closed deals)
- Adopt the right mindset for prompt iteration
- Set up templated prompts and custom GPTs for your team
- Run fast SEO audits with deep research in under 30 minutes
- Assemble a lean AI-powered marketing tech stack
- Strike the optimal balance between human and machine effort
They wrap with a live demo of GenSpark—watch an AI agent spin up an eight-slide pitch deck in seconds—and leave you armed with quick-hit AI workflows you can try today.
