AI for Revenue Leaders: The AI Hat Podcast
Mike Allton
Your revenue team is brilliant, but they are trapped in quicksand.
Research shows that high-performing sales and marketing professionals waste nearly 70% of their time on "Admin Drag" - the non-revenue generating tasks like data entry and meeting prep that kill momentum. You are paying for top-tier talent, but you are getting expensive data entry.
Meanwhile, you are facing a "Year of Reckoning." You know you need to adopt AI, but you are stuck in "Pilot Purgatory," worried about the "Shadow AI" risks your team is already creating in the background.
"AI for Revenue Leaders" is your operational blueprint for the Agentic Era.
Hosted by Mike Allton - a Revenue Architect and Director of Partner-led Growth - this show moves beyond futuristic hype to focus on the practical reality of leading high-performance teams. We don't just talk about tools; we help you build the "Digital Crews" that work alongside your humans.
In each episode, we break down:
The Agentic Shift: Moving from simple chatbots to autonomous AI agents.
Sanctioning the Shadow: Turning security risks into competitive advantages through governance.
The Human+AI Hybrid: Automating the "robot work" so your team can double down on trust, empathy, and closing deals.
Stop guessing. Start architecting.
