Weldon: Small businesses will get left behind in AI agent adoption
“My experience with small business, they're going to get left behind in a lot of this. The SME and UP are really going to take advantage of this.”
Weldon: Creators oversimplify AI agent deployment to sell courses
“These YouTuber are mostly Instagram. Actually, Instagram is amazing for these things. They're just promoting their stuff to sell their program, to get you, to make you feel like it's simple to do and to build an alpha, super simple, make it work in your busine…”
Weldon: AI will deliver poor ROI for the next two years
“I think we're going to stumble and fumble with poor returns on investment for the next year or two until the use cases get really well defined. And then there'll be a great marrying between the human and the agentic flows for leverage.”
Weldon: Study found 80% of SDR tasks can be automated
“I think the last study was 80% of them of the tasks they do are something that could be automated.”

Weldon: Email remains the killer communication channel for B2B and e-commerce
“We just have learned in business to business or in e-commerce, especially those two, email is still the killer communication channel, full stop.”
Weldon: AI agents cannot independently formulate blue-ocean sales strategy
“It can tactically recommend some good things, but strategically it's, it can't decide very often. Here's the customers I want. What it can do is look at and say, Hey, here's the customers that have closed that you have. Here's more like it, but it can't blue o…”
Weldon: Voice agent Alex handles 80% of inbound conversations
“Inbound, it's fantastic. It gets you four out of five conversations are handled by Alex.”
Weldon: Prospect Desk's biggest sales blocker is agency fear of replacement
“It's our number one knee capper is an agency feels like we're going to take from them instead of supplementing.”
