AI is changing the way we run our businesses, but where do we even begin? Today on CEO Sales Sessions, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I use AI as my co-pilot to streamline operations, improve productivity, and make smarter business decisions. From building my own AI intelligence file to automating repetitive processes and analyzing business data, I'm sharing practical examples of what's working behind the scenes at Sales Beyond Scripts. This isn’t about replacing the human touch or creating more AI slop, it’s about using AI intentionally to free up our time and energy so we and our teams can focus on what we do best.

Stay tuned to learn:

• Why you don't need to be an AI expert to start exploring how it can support your business.
• How I'm giving AI the context it needs to understand my brand, business, voice, and processes to produce better results
• Why I'm shifting from one-off AI requests to building repeatable skills, systems, and workflows that save time
• How I'm using podcast episodes, coaching calls, and sales conversations to turn my own expertise into valuable marketing content
• How I'm using AI to analyze KPIs, sales performance, and profit margins so I can make more informed business decisions
• Why I believe AI should help our teams work more efficiently while keeping human creativity, expertise, and judgement at the centre of our businesses

You don't have to figure out AI overnight, and you definitely don't need to know everything before getting started. My challenge to you this week is to get curious, experiment with one new AI tool or workflow, and see how it could help you reclaim time and energy in your business. As always, I’d love to hear what you’re implementing from this episode or what questions you still have! Send me a DM on Instagram @authenticgazzy and let's keep this conversation going.

More visibility doesn't automatically mean more sales, and spending money on ads won't fix a business that isn't converting. In this episode of CEO Sales Sessions, I'm joined by Britt, a paid advertising expert who has managed over $50 million in ad spend across multiple industries and platforms. We're breaking down what it actually takes to turn paid advertising into profit, why so many entrepreneurs waste money on ads, and how to know when your business is ready to invest in them. We're connecting the dots between marketing and sales, because getting more eyes on your business is only half of the equation. If you don't have the right messaging, sales infrastructure, and conversion strategy in place, more leads won't necessarily mean more revenue.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why paid ads amplify what's already working in your business and the three things you need in place before investing
• The difference between boosting Instagram posts and running strategic ad campaigns that actually track conversions
• How to identify whether your business has a visibility problem, a messaging problem, or a sales conversion problem
• Why understanding buyer behaviour, re-marketing, and multiple touchpoints is essential for turning leads into paying clients
• How product-based and service-based businesses should approach their advertising strategies during the holiday season and into the new year
• What a realistic starting ad budget looks like and how to use data to scale your investment with confidence

Britt left us with an exercise you can do today: grab a notebook and a pen, go to a coffee shop, leave your phone alone, and step outside your business long enough to really see who your audience is and what they need. Don’t just take the inspo, implement it. Whether it’s that exercise, making sure your website is converting, or finally working out your numbers before you spend on ads, DM me your takeaway on Instagram at @authenticgazzy and I’ll hold you accountable.

This week on CEO Sales Sessions, I chat with Alessya Baggetta, founder of Alessya Baggetta Designs, an award-winning Toronto-based branding and design studio now in its fifth year. Alessya has partnered with over 250 businesses to build brand identities, websites, and content strategies that turn businesses into brands people actually show up for. In this conversation, we get into why your brand is more than your colour palette and visuals, why consistency and vulnerability build trust with your target, and how the right content strategy fuels growth and revenue as you scale. You’ll also hear Alessya’s incredible founder story and get a real look at what it takes to stay dedicated and build a profitable business from the ground up.

Stay tuned to learn:

• How Alessya went from freelancing on her lunch breaks to tripling her income during a 30-day layoff
• Why a logo makes you recognizable but your brand makes you memorable
• How a mismatch in branding across platforms can make people question whether you are who you say you are
• How strong branding sets up a timeless foundation for sustainable scaling and why chasing trends and constantly rebranding hurts your business
• The importance of building a personal brand before selling and why vulnerability is essential for creating trust
• Why content should be one of your founder non-negotiables and why DIYing your designs isn’t actually saving you money
• Why meeting people in-person and making real connections is the foundation of a referral system that changes the game for your business

If this episode resonates with you, share it with a woman in your circle who needs to hear it. Don’t forget to head over to Instagram @authenticgazzy and send me a voice note with your biggest takeaway from this conversation. I'll see you next week.
