AI is no longer a buzzword. It’s transforming how law firms and legal tech vendors approach marketing, sales, and business growth. But adoption is the real challenge. Without leadership buy-in, data cleanup, and workflow integration, the tools won’t drive impact.
In this episode of The Marketing Phoenix Podcast, Melissa “Rogo” Rogozinski sits down with AI adoption leader Melissa Ballesteros, an AmLaw 100 trainer, certified AI PromptMaster, and Microsoft Copilot expert. Together, they reveal how AI empowers legal tech, law firms, and B2B professionals to build smarter growth marketing strategies, optimize sales performance, unlock marketing intelligence, and sharpen consultative selling.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why AI adoption depends on leadership buy-in and community, not just technology
- How Microsoft Copilot enhances sales workflows, competitive research, and content creation
- Practical examples of AI tools that save time, from email response to podcast production
- Copyright considerations when using AI-generated content
- How to build AI “agents” for small, specific tasks that tie into larger workflows
- Why women in legal tech must increase AI adoption to close the skills and pay gap
