    What Is the Best AI to Use to Grow Your Business?
    Oct 19 2026
    Send us Fan MailEvery single week, business owners ask me the exact same question: Steve, what is the best AI to use to grow my business?My answer usually catches them off guard. I tell them there is no single best AI. Asking which AI is best is like asking a professional athlete which single shot wins every match.During my ten years playing professional table tennis, I learned very quickly that you cannot win a championship with only a forehand smash. You need a serve, footwork, defence, and the discipline to play the right shot at the right moment.Business is no different. Over my thirty-one years in marketing and sales, working with thousands of business owners, I have seen every shiny new tool arrive with massive promises. Right now, artificial intelligence is surrounded by unprecedented noise. Owners are signing up for half a dozen subscriptions, playing with prompts for an afternoon, and wondering why sales have not budged.Novelty does not generate revenue. Elite performance in business, just like in sport, comes from selecting the right tool for the job and embedding it into a disciplined, measurable commercial process. You improve by measuring, training, testing, improving, and raising your game. If you want real commercial growth rather than tech distractions, here is how you should look at AI right now.1. ChatGPT from OpenAI — your general workhorse and thinking partnerChatGPT excels when you need a sounding board. If you are struggling with a blank page, mapping out an agenda for a strategic meeting, or brainstorming ideas for a campaign, ChatGPT is unbeatable. It is fast, flexible, and outstanding for broad research and rough drafting.But remember it is a conversational assistant, not an expert commercial strategist. If you feed it generic questions, it will return generic answers that sound like everyone else. Use it to expand your thinking and break writer's block, but never rely on it as your finished voice.2. Claude by Anthropic — the thoughtful writer and analytical engineIn my experience, Claude is the thoughtful writer and analytical engine. If you need nuance, deep comprehension, and writing that sounds remarkably natural, Claude is the tool to turn to.Where many AI tools write in a stiff, robotic rhythm full of predictable corporate buzzwords, Claude handles tone and subtext brilliantly. It is phenomenal for reviewing lengthy contracts, digesting complex market reports, or drafting customer proposals so they sound persuasive and human.When you want intelligence that thinks deeply and produces articulate long-form content, Claude is your answer.3. Perplexity AI — your real-time research assistant and fact-checkerThink of Perplexity as your real-time research assistant and fact-checker. Traditional search engines make you wade through pages of sponsored links, outdated blog articles, and SEO spam.Perplexity flips that model on its head by delivering direct, synthesised answers backed by clickable, real-time sources. If you want to research a competitor, uncover current industry benchmarks, or verify facts before publishing thought leadership, Perplexity will save you hours of wasted browsing. It turns hours of manual legwork into a two-minute executive briefing.4. The Results Hub AI — where AI moves from the playground into your bank accountFourth, and most importantly from a revenue perspective, is the AI inside The Results Hub. This is where AI moves out of the playground and directly into your bank account.The biggest leak in most small businesses is not a lack of clever ideas; it is slow lead follow-up, missed phone calls, and manual administrative friction.Through Conversation AI and Voice AI, The Results Hub automates your commercial front line. When an enquiry arrives on your website at ten o'clock at night, the AI engages that prospect within seconds across text message, email, or social media. If someone calls while you are busy, a missed-call text-back engages them immediately before they ring your competitor. Most importantly, it qualifies prospects and books them straight into your calendar while you sleep.That is not novelty; that is automated pipeline growth.The real difference: thinking tools versus revenue toolsNotice the difference across these tools. ChatGPT and Claude help you think and communicate better. Perplexity helps you research faster. But systems like The Results Hub actually convert interest into booked appointments and bankable revenue.At RESULTS Mastery, everything we do is anchored in one fundamental principle: you improve your business by measuring, training, testing, improving, and raising your game. Technology on its own is completely worthless without a sound marketing and sales architecture behind it. A bad sales process automated with AI simply produces bad results at five times the speed.Who wins in the AI era?The winners in this new era will not be the people who collect the most software subscriptions. The winners will be the business ...

    In this interview, I talk to my good friend and business advisor, Peter C Smith. I've known Peter for round about 20 years, and in that time I've come to know him as a great guy and a very knowledgeable person on business growth.

    Peter's recently written a couple of books that I'd strongly recommend you take a look at, and I'm sure if you went on to Amazon and typed his name in, you'd probably find them.

    However, I'd even more strongly recommend that you watch this interview, where we talk about business, the challenges many businesses are facing right now, and what they can do about it.

  • AI for business owners - An up to date perspective.

    AI for business owners - An up to date perspective.
    Sep 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    99.9% of business owners know about AI. Only 60% are probably using it, and less than 2% really understand how to use it and the benefits that they would get by doing so.

    I'm not sure if those numbers are accurate (in fact, I just made them up), but they are my perception of where we are right now and where business owners stand regarding the use of AI. Most people know about it, but they don't really use it very well. It's a little bit like search engine optimisation: even after 25 years of search engines, most business owners don't really understand how it works, even though it's fairly simple.

    So, in this video, I'm going to show you how to use AI to:
    • Save time
    • Make more money
    • Reduce costs
    • Increase sales

  • Should you use AI to write your business copy?

    Should you use AI to write your business copy?
    Sep 7 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I ask a question many business owners are now thinking about:

    Should you let AI write your copy?

    After a conversation where someone told me they could write better copy than AI, I explain why I think that misses the bigger point.

    AI is not just useful because it can write. It can also research, structure ideas, compare examples, create options, and save a huge amount of time.

    I also share an example of how AI helped research lots of business and marketing websites in minutes. Work that could easily have taken half a day manually.

    But this episode is not about replacing humans.

    The best results come from AI and humans working together.

    AI can produce the first draft, organise the thinking, and speed up the process. Humans still need to bring judgement, context, experience, personality, and final refinement.

    AI does not always get things right, and neither do humans. But together, they can usually produce better marketing, faster, with better results.
