Summary

Your Company's Data Is Garbage (And It Will Kill Your AI). In this interview, Pipeliner CRM's Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, John Golden, gives a stark warning to founders: the biggest challenge for companies implementing AI is data integrity. He argues that "most companies' data is not clean. It's garbage," and that even the best AI will fail if it's fed bad data ("garbage in, garbage out"). John also predicts that AI will make "mid-range or low-range kinda salespeople" obsolete, forcing them to upskill or get left behind . Finally, he explains the number one mistake founders make in sales—approaching it in a "chaotic way" and using an Excel sheet instead of building a real process with a proper CRM.
