TSL S2E1 - "Build It and They Do Not Come" - Adam Rubenstein, Traq.ai (1/3)

Episode Summary

Adam Rubenstein, co-founder and CEO of Traq.ai, joins Dr. Willy Bolander in The Sales Lab to discuss how the challenge of entrepreneurship is, with respect to Kevin Costner, that if you build it (a great product), they (customers) will NOT actually come. Instead, you have to sell it! We also talk about how, thanks to new applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP), the sales interaction itself is the data that will help companies improve their effectiveness. Part 1 of 3.
