The artificial intelligence revolution is upon us. Today we see AI doing everything from taking orders in a drive-thru to serving as a pseudo boyfriend or girlfriend.

But, according to my most recent guest, more importantly – AI boosts revenue.

To hear the story behind that lesson, along with more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Dario Markovic, CEO, Eric Javits [https://ericjavits.com/].

Eric Javits had $15 million in revenue last year and is tracking to hit $18 million this year.

Markovic manages a team of 10 with a three- to four-million-dollar marketing budget, along with a worldwide vendor ecosystem.

Lessons from the things he made

  • Data wins
  • AI boosts revenue
  • Sustainability sells
  • Funnels = profits
  • Retention over acquisition
  • Sell outcomes, not products
