Access is not adoption
Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude already sits on most desks. It still gets used like a search box, and the hours it could give back stay on the table.

Sales Basics: Win Back Your Selling Time
Thursday, November 5 · 12:00 ET
The gap
Your team has AI licences. Most of the work still looks the same.
Generic training misses the work
Most courses teach a tool in the abstract, or a tool you do not use. Your team needs to see its own tasks done on the platform it already pays for.
Nobody has a spare hour
Busy managers skip the long webinar. Thirty minutes at lunch is a commitment people actually keep.
AI in 30 closes that gap one function at a time. One real task, on the tool you already have, done live in front of you.
The format
One lesson a week, taught on three platforms
Pick the platform your team already uses. The task is the same all week, and each session stays on one tool for the full 30 minutes.
Tuesdays · 12:00 ET
Claude Cowork
For teams using Claude on desktop to work across files and tasks.
Wednesdays · 12:00 ET
ChatGPT
For teams on ChatGPT Business or Enterprise.
Thursdays · 12:00 ET
Copilot
