AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini now decide who shows up as the answer your next client sees. If your content isn’t written for them, you stay hidden. 👉...
Hello! Every sale, the same mistake repeats. A flashy colt enters the ring. Clean throat. Big walk. Everyone’s watching. “He just looks like a runner,” someone whispers. But a year later? They’re wondering what went wrong. Here’s the truth: looks don’t tell you the whole story. That’s why we don’t start with appearance.
