Addressing the Tough Topics

January 17, 2023 by Lisa Gerber 2 Comments

Please join me for a non-walk in the woods today. I was too lazy to actually go walk so, not one to procrastinate or make excuses, I recorded this out on the deck. Inspired by my personal experience with that crazy skin treatment for pre-cancer on my face, I wanted to talk about addressing the elephant in the room. An elephant is a conspicuous animal no one can miss. Yet, as organizations, we often put our heads in the sand, like an ostrich, thinking if we avoid the topic, no one will find out about or notice it. I think that’s a bad idea and have a listen and let me know what you think.

    Hi there,

    You and your team are really doing well in your industry. Have you considered a 100% free AI SMS + Voice agent demo to help you book more sales appointments 24/7 with full automation, plus a complimentary report on lost revenue that shows what you’re potentially missing by not using AI agents?

    Best regards,

    This is an interesting approach to discussing important issues by using metaphors like elephants and ostriches. It’s refreshing to see someone address uncomfortable topics head-on rather than avoiding them. The personal touch with the skin treatment story makes the message more relatable. The suggestion of using AI agents for automation seems like a smart way to streamline processes. Have you thought about how such tools could improve your team’s efficiency and revenue? WordAiApi

What Others Are Saying

Thanks to Danny Brown for listing Lisa as a top 5 blogger to watch in 2013:

I first got to know Lisa Gerber from working with her when she was part of Arment Dietrich, and I knew then that she was a smart cookie… Her blog (has) become a staple part of my reading diet.
