[Partner Day] Services Showdown: AI Strategy Face-Off
One view: the top of the funnel is being rewritten—how companies get discovered, build trust, and generate demand through AEO and Loop Marketing.

Another view: the bigger shift is happening inside the business, with AI redefining CRM, RevOps, automation, and the full customer lifecycle.

Sarah McDevitt brings together two partners who've placed different bets. She'll push them on where they're investing, how they're sequencing services, and what they'd tell a client with a board asking about AI ROI. Where do you start? What drives growth at 100 employees versus 5,000? Expect a candid debate.
