@lukepierceops Infra

[Luke Pierce @lukepierceops]

I found a way to sell AI infrastructure to companies doing $2M-$50M/year.

ALL with no sales team, enterprise connections or cold calls.

Businesses are desperate for Ai implementation right now and anyone can do this.

But most people get it wrong and that's why they fail.

They lead with tools, ex) "we build automations" or "we integrate AI."

That means nothing to a CEO managing 40 people and $5M in revenue.

They pitch features instead of showing the cost of doing nothing.

And they price hourly, so the buyer treats them like a freelancer instead of a partner.

Mid-market and enterprise companies are bleeding $100K-$500K/year on broken processes, bloated SaaS stacks, and manual work they don't even realize they're paying for.

They WANT to buy AI infrastructure, they just don't trust most people selling it.

Because most people selling it sound like every other agency.

I created a guide breaking down exactly:

→ How to position AI infrastructure so executives actually listen
→ The discovery framework that turns a 30-min call into a $25K-$100K project
→ How to calculate ROI so the price sells itself
→ The 3-pillar strategy process that closes 60%+ of qualified prospects
→ Why "sell the map before you sell the build" changes everything

RT + reply "INFRA" and I'll send you the FULL guide (must follow so I can DM)

@JasonJournoDC Mark, will you please run for President or back someone else. We need this center left mentality to beat Trump

[David Barford @dgbarford]

@cmclymer Agree with you Charlotte but frustrating when so many of the “vulnerable” voted for Trump

[David Barford @dgbarford]

Happy Trump gets indicted day for all who observe. Seems like a reoccurring holiday.

Since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday, we have been deluged with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and warm wishes. We are most grateful.

Thanks to the excellent team at @ZSFGCare, Paul is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.

Frederick Douglass: No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man w/o at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. Juneteenth doesn’t mark the emancipation of the enslaved, but emancipation of the US. We shld all rejoice & work twd our mutual liberation.

During a long day (& night) of air travel today, I found myself reflecting on the current state of our nation.

You see, I'm going to Europe to visit (and speak) at several American Battlefield Cemeteries.

On this eve of Memorial Day Weekend, I have a heavy heart. A 🧵 1/

Putin's war on Ukraine will either be the catalyst that revives the spirit & credibility of NATO or the end of the global order. As the Korean War shaped NATO after its birth under Harry Truman's vision of containing Communism, this is democracy vs authoritarianism. 1/13

You may not trust the media, or the government, can't blame you there. But how can anyone not trust Gaby ?

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents. We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family.

To the outstanding Airmen who have worked tirelessly and selflessly over the last several days evacuating Afghans, Americans and the vulnerable, I want to personally thank you for your sacrifices and applaud your bravery.
