This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by Maddie Bell, CEO and Co-founder of Scheduler AI, who believes “the real risk isn't in the dark funnel—it's failing to deliver when the buyer finally raises their hand.” In this episode, Maddie challenges the industry's obsession with “speed to lead,” urging revenue leaders to prioritize “speed to first conversation” with AI-driven, buyer-centric engagement. She warns that outdated playbooks and one-way automation are leaving revenue on the table, while today's buyers self-educate and expect immediate, meaningful interaction. Will Maddie's call for rethinking the moment of engagement change your strategy—or change your mind?  Episode Type: Problem Solving  Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: Dark Funnel Obsession—Are Revenue Teams Focusing on the Wrong Problem? [01:10]  Maddie Bell argues that while the industry is fixated on the challenges of the dark funnel and invisible buyer research, the true risk lies elsewhere: "The real risk isn't what you can't see, it's what you fail to act on when the buyer finally makes themselves known." She challenges CMOs and CROs to shift resources away from just uncovering hidden intent and instead ensure their processes and tech are ready for the critical moment buyers raise their hand. Brandi aligns with this shift, probing what readiness really entails and how companies can retrain their focus accordingly.  Topic #2: Personalization at Scale—Why Automation Isn't Enough [13:36]  Maddie claims that traditional personalization methods—triggered email sequences and static nurture paths—have reached their limits due to the sheer number of signals and permutations needed. She challenges the industry to move beyond guessing with automation: "It's just really hard to personalize for a person without asking them about themselves again, without starting a two-way conversation." The discussion centers on the need for AI-driven, dynamic conversations to achieve true personalization, not just more sophisticated drip campaigns.  Topic #3: AI as the Connector—Transforming Handoffs and Sales Structure [28:38]  Maddie boldly asserts that AI agents are poised to revolutionize not just engagement, but the very structure of sales teams and revenue processes. She explains, "If you have the AI routing, you can create intelligent loops that essentially solve the leak across the pipeline..." prompting leaders to rethink their approach to sales specialization, handoff rigor, and marketing-sales alignment. Brandi challenges the scalability and organizational implications, sparking discussion on how revenue leaders should sequence process improvement before layering on AI.  The Wrong Approach vs. Smarter Alternative  The Wrong Approach: “I think they look for solutions to new things rather than solving problems that again, they already have. Right. Because at the end of the day, if we're already making buyers wait hours, days, if we follow up at all, just solving that in the near term is going to get you a measurable pipeline win now without having to re redo and try all this new stuff that you don't really know where it's going to go.” – Maddie Bell  Why It Fails: Chasing after new, untested solutions distracts teams from addressing the core issues already affecting buyer engagement. If companies ignore existing process gaps—like long response times—they miss out on immediate revenue gains and risk investing in initiatives that may not address their current challenges.  The Smarter Alternative: Focus first on quantifying and solving existing friction points in the buyer journey, such as reducing wait times and ensuring prompt follow-up. By tackling these proven problems, organizations can unlock measurable wins and lay a stronger foundation before experimenting with new tools or strategies.  The Most Damaging Myth  The Myth: “The moment they raise their hand visibly is the start of the process.” – Maddie Bell  Why It's Wrong: Many go-to-market teams treat the buyer's visible hand-raise—like filling out a form—as the beginning of engagement. But as Maddie points out, buyers actually start their process much earlier, often spending significant time researching and self-educating long before giving up their information. This myth leads companies to ignore the vast majority of prospects who never fill out a form (97%), missing opportunities to start conversations earlier and losing out on pipeline growth.  What Companies Should Do Instead: Recognize that the buying journey begins well before formal hand-raising. Invest in strategies and technologies that identify and engage buyers earlier—well before they submit a form—by leveraging intent signals, enabling frictionless conversations, and reducing reliance on traditional gates. This proactive approach captures more of the market and improves the probability of converting ready buyers.  The Rapid-Fire Round  Finish this sentence: If your company has this problem, the first thing you should do is _ “Measure it. Find out how many balls are getting dropped. Quantify the problem so you can actually solve it and measure success.” — Maddie Bell What's one red flag that signals a company has this problem—but might not realize it yet? “You're pushing out a lot of one-way communication, and buyers aren't converting—or when they finally respond, you're too slow to engage. If buyers ignore your outreach or you fail to respond within 1–2 minutes, that's a big sign.”  What's the most common mistake people make when trying to fix this? “Chasing new cool solutions instead of fixing today's problems—like slow or missing follow-up. Start by solving existing gaps to create quick pipeline wins before adding new tools.”  What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress? “Start more conversations—and use AI for fair, objective, helpful buyer interactions that move them to the next step, ideally a team meeting. But don't rush the process; let AI qualify and route effectively.”   Buzzword Banishment  Buzzword Banishment: Maddie's buzzword to banish is "speed to lead." She dislikes this term because, in her view, it has become disconnected from what buyers actually want. Maddie argues that organizations have reduced "speed to lead" to a KPI or automated process—like quickly assigning a lead to a rep or sending out email sequences—rather than prioritizing a meaningful, timely first conversation that aligns with the buyer's needs and expectations. She advocates replacing it with "speed to first conversation" to ensure engagement is genuinely valuable to the buyer.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maddiebell/  Podcast: https://www.scheduler.ai/nextgen-gtm-podcast  Business: https://www.scheduler.ai  Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Tianna Mick (aka T Got Your Keys) pull back the curtain on some of the most overlooked—and underutilized—strategies that today's top automotive professionals are using to drive real results. "Social media absolutely has to be social. I got some tips that I could give to you if you want me." — LA Williams From communication techniques that reignite cold leads to modern tools that streamline the sales process, this high-energy conversation touches on the evolving toolkit of the 2025 car salesperson. Without giving too much away, let's just say if you've ever underestimated the power of a voicemail or dismissed AI as a “future thing,” this episode is about to change your mind. "AI is to just make workarounds so that way you actually have more time to focus on the things that are going to yield you the biggest result." — Tianna Mick Tianna and LA break down how today's buyers want to be engaged—and more importantly, how you can become the kind of salesperson who shows up where they are, with the right message, at the right time. If you're ready to stop selling like it's 2012 and start connecting like it's 2025, this episode is for you.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Voicemail Strategy: Creating engaging, curiosity-driven voicemails can significantly increase customer callbacks and drive sales success. ✅ AI in Dealerships: AI tools like ChatGPT and Podium enhance customer service by providing quick and relevant responses, ultimately improving lead conversion. ✅ Social Media Engagement: Leveraging platforms like Facebook and Instagram with a mix of personal, professional, and purposeful content helps build a loyal customer base. ✅ Personalization and Authenticity: Personalizing interactions and maintaining authenticity in customer communications is crucial for building trust and driving sales. ✅ AI Training for Sales: Encouraging salespeople to familiarize themselves with AI tools can streamline operations and save time, allowing focus on high-impact activities.   About LA Williams aka The Blind Master LA Williams, also known as the "Blind Phone Master," co-creates the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast. With extensive experience in automotive sales, LA specializes in effective communication strategies, particularly over the phone. Known for his ability to transform ordinary sales approaches into high-impact experiences, he uses his expertise to teach others how to achieve success in the car sales industry. LA is also recognized for his innovative use of technology, especially AI, to improve sales processes.   About Tianna Mick aka T Got Your Keys Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space. With a deep-rooted passion for engaging with customers through social media and digital platforms, she leverages cutting-edge tools and strategies to maximize customer engagement. Tianna is an enthusiastic champion of dealership success, providing valuable insights on sales through various media, including the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast.   Maximize Your Sales: The Art of Voicemails, AI, and Social Media in Car Sales Unlock the hidden potential of your dealership through the strategic use of voicemails, AI, and social media. A transformative approach to customer engagement is vital for boosting your bottom line this year. With effective communication strategies and technology-driven insights, you can revolutionize your dealership's operations and set the stage for unprecedented growth. Key Takeaways Voicemails Are Alive and Thriving: Contrary to popular belief, voicemails are a potent tool for engaging customers, as long as they are used correctly. AI as Your Secret Weapon: Leverage AI in every aspect of your dealership—from managing leads to sending perfect follow-ups. Social Media: Friend or Foe?: Embrace social platforms for what they were meant to be—social and engaging.   Voicemails: Not Just Old School, But Smart Voicemails are far from dead, especially if you know how to use them wisely. The power of a well-crafted voicemail lies in its ability to make the recipient curious enough to give you a callback. As LA Williams emphasizes, "If we could get conversations going…that's half the battle." Voicemail mastery involves not just what you say but how you say it—infusing the message with energy and a tone of trustworthiness while keeping them short and under 30 seconds. Williams further cautions against leaving dead voicemail messages. You know the ones—monotonously reminding prospects of what they already know. Instead, he advises creating valid curiosity using pointed questions. He asserts, "Tell the person that you have some key questions that you need to run by them." This technique effectively pulls the customer in and increases engagement rates. Despite the technological advancements in telecommunications, voicemail continues to be a fundamental tool in the salesperson's toolkit. With phones now transcribing voicemails into text, this feature offers a dual-engagement mode—listening and reading. The versatility of voicemails makes them an asset for reaching today's busy consumers. Harnessing the Power of AI for Lead Conversion Artificial Intelligence is not only the future; it's the present. It is a versatile tool that uniquely complements human efforts by managing leads and prompting timely follow-ups. As LA Williams introduces it, "Podium has Jerry, an AI whiz that sets up test drives, answers questions… and facilitates seamless sales." AI platforms like ChatGPT offer tailored sales messages, be they emails or text messages, carefully crafted to suit the customer's journey. The magic happens when AI is set to act like an intern—making suggestions, learning from each interaction, and evolving based on feedback. Williams shares a vivid story about how an AI app once malfunctioned, showing how deeply sales professionals rely on these tools. AI revolutionizes communication by enhancing the speed with which leads are managed. Instant responses are crucial in keeping customers warm, especially when a human may not be available to answer a call immediately. "Speed to lead is paramount," Williams reminds us, driving home the importance of fast, accurate customer service now achievable through AI integrations. Social Media Engagement: Beyond the Basics Social media isn't just another marketing tool; it's a robust platform for dynamic engagement. By presenting oneself authentically, you transform followers into raving fans. Williams explains, "From posting motivational quotes to sharing personal moments, social media should be an amalgamation of personal and professional." The strength of platforms like Facebook and Instagram lies in their capacity to humanize businesses and salespeople. Incorporating a balanced content strategy—personal, professional, purposeful, and polls—turns casual scrolls into potential sales leads. This dynamic space also represents the perfect proving ground for integrating AI-created messages. Social media's double-edged sword lies in how its ease of access can lead to lost opportunities if you aren't fully leveraging it. For car sales professionals, it serves as an extension of the dealership—bridging the gap between traditional sales techniques and the modern consumer journey. With these insights into voicemails, AI, and social media, the path to improving customer engagement and ultimately boosting sales is a journey revolving around choice and adaptation. Whether it's crafting that perfect voicemail, harnessing AI to nurture leads, or mastering the nuance of social media, each of these elements holds the potential to transform your dealership into a powerhouse. The time to act is now, and the tools you need are right at your fingertips.

What if AI could level the playing field in higher education? This episode of Trending in Education explores that very question with Cecilia Marshall, Chief Advancement Officer at Ed Advancement. Host Mike Palmer and Marshall delve into the complex and compelling potential of AI, focusing on its impact on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions serving under-resourced students. Marshall, whose journey winds from corporate advertising to the heart of educational advocacy, shares Ed Advancement's vital work: strengthening mission-driven colleges to fuel social mobility. The conversation moves beyond the hype surrounding AI to address the crucial need for ethical implementation, data sovereignty, and genuine collaboration with students and schools.

Marshall doesn't shy away from the challenges: algorithmic bias, the digital divide, and the ever-present need for AI literacy. This isn't just a discussion about technology; it's a story about equity, access, and the future of learning.

Hematology-oncology physician Yousuf Zafar discusses his article, "The personalization of cancer care in 2025." He traces the evolution of cancer treatment over the past two decades, moving through waves of cytotoxic chemotherapy, biologic therapies, immunotherapies including groundbreaking CAR-T therapy, and now precision oncology, which targets treatments to the specific molecular profile of a patient's cancer. While these advancements have significantly improved survival and quality of life, Yousuf highlights the resulting increase in care complexity and the widening gap in outcomes between specialized centers (where only 20 percent of U.S. patients are treated) and community practices (where 80 percent of care occurs), particularly impacting rural areas where 66 percent of counties lack an oncologist. The conversation explores how digital health solutions, such as remote case reviews connecting community oncologists with subspecialists, can help bridge this divide and improve access. Importantly, Yousuf stresses that personalized care extends beyond treatment to encompass vital patient support for financial burdens, mental well-being, and survivorship. Actionable takeaways emphasize the need for collaboration, resources for community oncologists, investment in digital health tools, and a continued focus on patient-centered support throughout the cancer journey.
