For most startups, the main task of launch and validation is to figure out if the market has any interest in the idea at all – and if it’s possible to gain traction. Today’s guest, Rachel Cossar – took a different approach. She was already operating a successful coaching practice helping her clients optimize nonverbal cues during sales calls.

She knew this process was valuable - but her question was – could it be automated through technology and AI? 

We had a fascinating conversation about how this question led to the formation of Virtual Sapiens – and how she has been able to transfer her existing validation of her process into a way to deliver the same value through AI.

She’s had an amazing step by step journey – from initial validation of automating the process – to multiple iterations that have built trust in the AI and started to deliver results to her clients automatically.

I learned so much in this conversation – and hope you do as well.
