With a background in staffing and executive experience at Workbeast LLC, Thomas identified the need for more efficient communication processes and founded Bigly Sales in 2020. Under his leadership, Bigly Sales is revolutionizing the industry by replacing traditional call centers with advanced AI technology that offers 24/7 multilingual support in English and Spanish.

Thomas's dedication to efficiency and client satisfaction positions Bigly Sales as a trailblazer in the tech industry, committed to enhancing business communications through the power of artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Jason and Thomas discuss:

• Thomas’s journey to founding Bigly Sales, an AI company during the COVID-19 lockdowns, highlights his resilience and innovation
• Businesses are leveraging AI to automate tasks like lead qualification, customer support, and content generation
• The current near-zero AI adoption in organizations is expected to be followed by an imminent spike in usage
• Ryan envisions hyper-persuasive AI outperforming human salespeople through personalization
• AI-powered landing pages, product demos, and AI-driven sales processes are transforming the way businesses engage with customers

Key Takeaways:

• AI is revolutionizing businesses by automating tasks faster, cheaper, and more accurately than humans, with adoption expected to spike as it outperforms human performance.
• Organizations are leveraging AI in various ways, from graphic design to content creation, SEO optimization, and lead generation through automated conversations driving increased sales.
• Thomas' startup Bigly Sales is harnessing AI for lead generation, automated product demos, and end-to-end sales automation using avatars, incorporating targeted advertising and customer data capture.
• AI's capabilities in persuasion, personalization, and rapidly evolving context windows will enable extreme information gathering and human-surpassing persuasiveness within a few years.
• While AI automation optimizes manual tasks, enhancing human capabilities, it's crucial to consider unintended consequences as the technology continues to advance.

“I see AI as hyper-persuasive—far better than any sales rep. It will know everything about you, have access to all your social media, and even be aware of everything you've ever read. AI will understand you and millions of others like you, knowing exactly what your levers are—how to speak to you, what accent to use, and what persona to adopt to truly move you. I see it using all the collective information available on the internet to be more persuasive than any human salesperson.”
