She did all this before she hit her one year m... more

How To Get So Good As Selling, Your Money Problems Go Away! | The Dept. #127
Q: Can you explain the 'workhorse' concept?
The workhorse is a core component of Macy's method that keeps the seller focused on the buyer and the payoff, helping to move the conversation from words to emotion and evidence; Abby's engagement in the session explored how to apply this in real scenarios.
The NEW Way to Build A Business with Al ft. Dan Martell | The Dept. #123
Q: How should a real estate agent approach AI-powered tools for leads?
Start with an inbox or customer-support AI agent, then scale to lead research and prospecting by using AI to triage and summarize opportunities; ensure you have clear processes to feed to AI so it can deliver consistent results.
The NEW Way to Build A Business with Al ft. Dan Martell | The Dept. #123
Q: What can AI not do, and where should we be careful about over-reliance?
AI should augment human capabilities, especially in areas requiring empathy, judgment, and human connection; focus on leveraging AI to handle repetitive tasks so you can invest time in creative, strategic work.
Brilliant Marketing Advice For Small Business Owners (ANY Industry) ft. Richfromanywhere | The Dept. #120
Q: What is the current state of paid ads and where should a small business start?
Start by thinking of Meta as a partner, use the business description to let Meta find targeting, and build an in-house or AI-powered operator to manage campaigns. Begin with a strong offer and lead magnet, then run a webinar or masterclass to convert, using a repeatable funnel and automated reminders.
How To Sell Your Knowledge and Make More Money Online in 2026 | The Dept. #116
