I work in tech sales and use AI every day - but I don't want everyone knowing how I use it

"Initially, it helped me craft emails. I work in tech sales and I have to do a lot of cold outreaches. My job is to write messages that resonate with various leaders and ChatGPT helped me with that. Once I started using it at work, I realized that as a sports coach and father, there was so much more I could use it for, like sending post-practice communication to parents, building schedules, or putting together statistics of how the game went."

"Now I use AI everyday, and I've experimented with different tools. I use Claude to help with business communication and content generation. I use Perplexity for deep research, and Gemini for image generation. I use these tools for a combination of personal, professional, and educational use-cases. I've learned how to install an air conditioner and how to teach my son 6th grade math."

"He said AI has helped him grow his pipeline by letting him communicate more effectively and understand customers better. He said he keeps some of his AI strategies private to maintain a competitive advantage in sales. My company has also given me access to tools that have been really powerful in sales. It can help with gaining a better understanding of the customer in a minute's notice."
