Analytix provides outsourced finance, technology and operations support to growing businesses, with 1,100 people. Its sales team already used AI every day and had bots built for them. But most people stopped at the basics.

The VP of Sales wanted his team to think beyond what had been handed to them, and to get into the habit of looking for new uses. He started with sales and marketing because that is where revenue comes from.

The sales and marketing team took 15 Days of AI: fifteen short lessons on their own work. We measured their AI skill before and after.
