What if you could double your customer support team's effectiveness without hiring a single new employee? Sounds too good to be true, right? But that's exactly what businesses are achieving with Salesforce's Agentforce platform. Every day, support teams are drowning in tickets, burning out their best agents, and watching their customer satisfaction scores take a nosedive. The cost of scaling support teams traditionally is skyrocketing, while customer expectations for instant, 24/7 support keep climbing. But there's a solution that's transforming support teams across industries. Today, we're diving deep into real-world success stories and practical implementations of AI-powered support that's cutting response times in half and revolutionizing how teams work. I'm thrilled to welcome Aaron Godby, Founder and CEO of Green Irony, who's been at the forefront of this transformation. Aaron and his team have implemented some of the first Agentforce solutions with Salesforce, including a groundbreaking project at UNC Charlotte that's completely revolutionized their student support system. As a seasoned technology executive and AI implementation specialist, Aaron has helped countless organizations turn the promise of AI into actual, measurable results. He's the perfect guide to help us understand how to achieve these incredible efficiency gains. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Aaron Godby about: ✨ Strategic Implementation Matters → Success with AI support tools requires careful planning and clear success metrics. ✨ Human-AI Collaboration → AI doesn't replace support teams; it empowers them to focus on high-value interactions. ✨ Measurable ROI → Companies can achieve verified 50% time savings while improving customer satisfaction.

In today's episode of the podcast, we are revisiting the business plan to align with where the market is now. It's very clear that the market has shifted and that we have to change how we've been doing business to keep up. This is the exact business plan Jeff is using to continue and finish this year strong, including all the things we need to improve, upgrade, or eliminate.    The 4th of July is behind us, and now it's time to really buckle down so we don't just get through the 2nd half of the year but actually maintain and even grow our production.    Jeff will help you get your head wrapped around what's going on in the market, and share a plan of action to lead generate, communicate with clients and keep closing deals in a wonky market.    You'll also learn;  How to get really granular when it comes to tracking our lead sources  Why expense management is more critical now and how to hold your spending accountable The script you need to use with every single buyer and seller lead right now Why consumers are doing a lot more research about agents before making a hiring decision   How to prepare the sellers for what's actually happening in the market  Quotes    You're going to realize things in your business when you start tracking your daily contacts. -Jeff Glover    “Days on market” is the enemy of a home's value. -Jeff Glover  Key Points    In order to thrive in this softening market, we have to be armed with information that reflects what's going on in the market right now. Typical market stats are going to be misleading, so in order to know what's really happening we need to pay attention to; Average showings per listing Average new listings per day  New expireds per day  New price reductions per day  30 year fixed mortgage rate Pendings  Knowing these things will prove you as an expert in your market and also back up your claim that things are changing.     The agents who thrive through a softer market maintain and even increase their production know they have to increase their daily lead generation efforts. If you want to maintain the same level of business as the first half of the year, you need to increase your contacts by 15 - 20% a day.     Have a designated day each week for price reductions. Before this market, we didn't need a communication plan for price reductions because homes were selling very easily. Now sellers are going to wonder why after a few days, they don't have any showings or offers. Now we have to set aside time to give them the necessary market updates.

We often talk of video games as being "fun," but this is a mistake. When we play video games, our facial expressions are only occasionally those of of happiness, instead we frown and grimace when fail to achieve our goals. This is the paradox of failure: why do we play video games even though they make us unhappy? In video games, as in tragic works of art, literature, theater, and cinema, it seems that we want to experience unpleasantness even if we also dislike it. Yet failure in a game is unique in that when we fail in a game, it means that we (not a character) are in some way inadequate, and games then motivate us to play more, in order to escape that inadequacy. In this talk, based on his new book The Art of Failure, Jesper Juul will argue that the paradox of failure pervades games on many levels: in game design, in sports coaching, in strategy guides, in taunting, in the prejudices against sore losers. The issue of failure is also central to recurring controversies of what games can, or should be about: what does it mean to cause terrible events to happen in a fictional game world? Games, then are the Art of Failure: the singular art form that sets us up for failure and allows us to experience it and experiment with it. Jesper Juul is an assistant professor at the New York University Game Center and a visiting assistant professor at Comparative Media Studies. He has been working with the development of video game theory since the late 1990's. His publications include Half-Real on video game theory, and A Casual Revolution on how puzzle games, music games, and the Nintendo Wii brought video games to a new audience. He maintains the blog The Ludologist on "game research and other important things".

This week: Video games. Amanda talking about porn and boobs. People behaving badly. Oh, yeah, some art. It's after 3 AM.  I'm tired you aren't getting a huge, organized note, go and google stuff, you can do it. I am even more nasally than normal in the audio, damned airplane petri dishes. This is a show for the ages. 10:30am Monday-Corrected minor glitch and re-uploaded fixed file! Jesper Juul is an assistant professor at the New York University Game Center. He has been working with the development of video game theory since the late 1990's. His publications include Half-Real on video game theory, and A Casual Revolution on how puzzle games, music games, and the Nintendo Wii brought video games to a new audience. He maintains the blog The Ludologist on "game research and other important things". His most recent book is The Art of Failure: An Essay on the Pain of playing Video Games. http://www.jesperjuul.net Oliver Warden (b. 1971, Cleveland, Ohio) is a multidisciplinary artist, working both in the realms of contemporary art and technology. When online, he goes as his avatar name, ROBOTBIGFOOT. The majority of his body of work is inspired by and culled from his experiences in the virtual world, as he spends about 40 hours a week inside the realms of Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, and various independent titles. It can be said that Warden essentially, and by 21st Century definition, lives in two worlds: online and off. His paintings, ranging in size of 1 ft to 21 ft canvases, are made by a unique process of pouring Galkyd onto canvas laid horizontally in his Bushwick studio. The semi-transparent and glossy layers build over each other in intricate and elaborate geographies, creating an effects-driven and technologically mediated super-world. His cameraless-photography is created on his computer, in virtual spaces. One series that I find especially innovative shows the “edge of world” in the video game Tribes; Warden literally played the game until there were no more challenges or objectives to complete, and after reaching the literal end of the map (where the playable area stops), he took thousands of screen shots. The results are works on paper, presented as pixelated photographs.  His performance pieces are the third factor of his work, creating a complete balanced and intentional body. Inspired by his interactive experiences, he built a body of work around notions of privacy, voyeurship and control.  Stalking people in Central Park at midnight and “capturing” them on video, living in a school wall for a week and pulling covert ops at night and sitting inside a chair as unknowing sitters sat on his lap, all challenged and occasionally broke the rules of engagement and participation.

Dr. Jesper Juul, author of The Casual Game Revolution and Half-Real is interviewed in this show. He is a Danish game researcher who is currently a Visiting Assistant Arts Professor at the New York University Game Center. As a casual gamer myself, I was fascinated to find this book and required my students to read parts of it. The … Read more about this episode...
