NEW EPISODE: "The Smart Buyer's Guide to AI Tools"
Drowning in AI tool options? You're not alone. With hundreds of solutions promising to "revolutionize" your business, how do you choose the RIGHT one?
🔍 THE 4-STEP FRAMEWORK:
✅ Define the job (not the technology)
✅ Check vendor stability & integration
✅ Understand pricing models completely
✅ Involve your team & protect human touch
💰 PRICING DECODED:
• Subscription = Predictable but read the fine print
• Usage-based = Flexible but watch for surprise costs
• Tiered = Feature unlocks as you grow
• Hybrid = Base fee + overages
🚨 AVOID THESE TRAPS:
❌ Choosing cheapest option without considering value
❌ Springing new tools on your team
❌ Over-automating the human connection
💡 Bottom line: Don't shop for features. Hire for problems.
