Description

The AI platform landscape can feel overwhelming—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot—aren’t they all the same? Not quite. In this episode, Sean breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of the four major chat AI platforms and explains how to choose the right one for your sales organization. You’ll learn which platform best fits creative prospecting, executive-level proposals, research-intensive workflows, and enterprise compliance needs. Platform choice isn’t about hype—it’s about measurable results, adoption success, and strategic alignment with your sales process.
