KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- You want to gear your product or service to the average person. The goal is to make the average person great.
- Clarity is key when it comes to getting your message across. If your ideal client is confused at all, they will just move on to the next business.
- AI can be used as a tool, as an intern if you will, that can do the first digging of information, but you need to go in and humanize the information or content when you put it out to your audience.
