In this episode of Thoughts on Selling, I sit down with AI strategist and workforce transformation expert Ben Tasker. Ben has spent over a decade helping organizations harness AI not just as a shiny tool, but as a way to amplify human abilities through upskilling, reskilling, and smarter systems thinking.

We dive into:

• The “AI Between Times”: why we’re in a transition period where adoption is fast, mistakes will happen, and systems thinking is essential.

• Upskilling & Reskilling: how organizations can build learning plans to keep talent relevant and amplify what people already do well.

• Applied AI in Sales: from RFP prep to simulated buyer conversations, how sales teams can use AI for deliberate practice and better customer engagement.

• Systems Thinking & Change Management: why AI adoption fails without clear processes, data quality, and organizational alignment.

• Personal Branding in the AI Era: how individuals can leverage AI to publish, create, and stay visible in a world where recommendation engines drive discovery.

Ben makes a strong case: While AI won’t replace us— those who embrace it will win over those who don’t.

If you’re a sales leader, enablement pro, or individual contributor wondering how to stay relevant in this exponential era of change, this conversation is for you.
