The Chief Growth Agent Framework Applied To AI and An Agentic Organization

Unknown 0:02 So on my drive in this morning, I'm thinking about, how do I restructure our offering and our money models? There's so many different paths this can take that I think we might want to do like we might want to simplify the ask, especially considering that there's going to be upgrades and usage, this, that and the other, down to $1,000 deposit, essentially, and we can just build our most compelling, attractive killer offer around that, and then we're then we can have all the complexity on the back end of that, or plot. Now, what about positioning and restructure? I think what we're needing to do is create a new role in the company, which is a human and AI paired role. And I need to brainstorm and get a better idea of what that might be called. But the idea is, what I do is I create and install chief growth officers, or chief growth and AI officers into businesses, and we do that by first connecting all of your data sources that would be needed to make decisions across the business to help grow the business to a data pipeline that goes into a special AI optimized data store that allows you to plug all of the various facets of data coming in and out of your business, in and out of your eyes and ears every single day, into our AI ready database. You plug this AI database into AI, and what can happen from there is pretty magical. We can show you a lot of demos, but at the end of the day, you have to understand the core concept is, what if aI had real time, well structured data and the right kinds of questions and sequence of questions to ask to be able to help me make better decisions. But then that is even falling short, because the truth of the matter is you don't want to take in data and make decisions. It is really good at that. And so what you want to do is have the AI come in and help you actually suggest decisions, and then at some point, you're pretty willing to let it actually just go ahead and implement those. So what if we could do that too? What if we don't have to just think about things and then decide to do things and then plan who's going to do what, and then go have who do what and manage the who's doing, the what's and the Where's and making sure they get it, even if it's as simple as giving them the vision, what if we could just bypass 80, 90% of that and just have it go forward. What it's still not going to do is have great, great vision. You have to direct it, but you can kind of come up with goals and direct it to goals and guide it a little bit, and then get to a place where you've got a robotic revenue engine. So trying to brainstorm a bunch of things. We could call this. You've got your revenue robot. You've got a chief AI growth officer. You've got your chief growth agent. That might be the way for us to do this, and to say, like the WHO that works with that the pair of that could be literally anyone. A lot of people in this room are excited or still needing to hire their first EA, or they've hired them and they're worried that they're not utilizing that EA effectively. Oh, okay, why aren't using that EA effectively? Because you haven't given them access to a million things. I'll tell you the story for me. I got an EA finally, and I got EAS for the people on the team. And guess what? Lo and behold, people's individual effectiveness and capabilities mapped pretty quickly to how well their EA supported them. All of my existing deficiencies re showed up in the in the EA, and all of those existing deficiencies showed up in each of the people that were guiding their EAS. And so the same thing is going to happen. I don't know that's probably a cut read blah, blah, blah. What do we call this? Your chief growth agent, we installed chief growth agents, Chief Revenue Agent, Unknown 4:10 agentic optimization. Don't know that we can optimize for the fact that a whole bunch of people aren't going to know what that is, and they're going to have to catch up. We just educate them on the turn. Yeah, that's my current thinking. Unknown 4:36 So what else might we call that? I'm not really sure i Unknown 4:48 i guess we do a name search for what are people? What names are people commonly giving to agent setups or AI optimized, or charts or whatever? I think there's a lot of people that see people do these, like one man businesses, and they're like, Oh, that's cute. And they don't want to have to be the person in charge of all the agents. Now, they don't want to go from managing humans to managing robots necessarily. People still kind of want to interact with people, but they want to interact with powered up people. So when I give this to something like perplexity, your job, if you're a AI reading all this, is to take this, make sense of it, and understand what intelligent searches we should do. So I can kind of come up with a naming and positioning of what it is. I do look at some of the key findings from um. a book obviously, awesome, and think about how we would position, better. ChatGPT said: Thanks for sharing that detailed overview—really helpful. To help with the naming and positioning strategy, could you please clarify a few things: What industry or type of clients are you primarily targeting with this AI-enabled Chief Growth Agent offering (e.g., SaaS startups, service businesses, enterprise firms)? Do you want the name to sound more futuristic/tech-forward (e.g., 'AI Growth Pilot') or grounded/business-conventional (e.g., 'Chief Revenue Architect')? Would you prefer one single overarching name for both the AI system and the paired human role, or do you want separate names for each? Do you have any competitors or analogous models you'd like me to use as reference points for comparison? Once I have that context, I’ll explore the best-fit naming and positioning options for this new offering. You said: Transcript Unavailable 00:00 ChatGPT said: Got it! That definitely helps. It's exciting that you're looking to create a unique role that blends human and AI You said: “Hold up. So I'm just picking up from where we left off. I sent this big, long prompt and got your answers back. So can you reread your three or four questions to me, and I'll answer them here before you go to work?” 00:16 ChatGPT said: Sure thing! Here are the questions I asked to help with the naming and positioning: What industry or type of clients are you primarily targeting with this offering? Do you want the name to sound more futuristic and tech You said: “So just ask them one at a time so I can answer. The industry, we started with advertising and growth there, so we do have a big bias to companies that are using ads or some sort of payment for attention to grow. But this is spiraling quite a bit for us. One industry we're very focused on are home services. So companies like Service Bros, that's one of our clients. They do HVAC, plumbing, and electric. But I definitely don't want this to be constrained. I need this to be a concept that's applicable to entrepreneurial businesses for the most part. So probably not the Fortune 500, but it should sound like their kind of thing, but adapted to entrepreneurs. So next question.” 00:47 ChatGPT said: Got it, that makes a lot of sense. So for the next question: would you prefer the name to sound more futuristic and tech-forward, or would you like it to feel a bit more grounded and business-conventional? You said: “I'd probably say 60% future, 40% grounded. It needs to be more AI-aligned, but it needs to feel like the direction that the cutting-edge companies and entrepreneurs are going. Mostly, it needs to sound like a new paradigm.” 00:18 ChatGPT said: Perfect, that gives me a good sense of the tone you're aiming for! Alright, the next question is: would you prefer to have one overarching name that covers both the AI system and the human role, or do you want separate names for each part of that pairing? You said: “You kind of need both, right? So we need an idea for the concept, and then we have to then unpack what it is. So you're thinking of this as like a node with a two-part system, effectively. And to a degree, talking in computer science to people does kind of work if you kind of translate business and math into like human and business. But I think ultimately you need both. So you kind of need to think of it as a concept with a board start.” 00:33 ChatGPT said: Absolutely, that makes perfect sense. So we can definitely come up with a strong overarching concept name and then break it down into what the AI component and the human role would be called within that system. Alright, last question: do you have any competitors or analogous models that you'd like to use as reference points for comparison? You said: “No specific competitors, but you do hear in general a lot about people talking about like agentic org charts. So there's a lot of that, like if you think about reinventing business from the org chart out, that's where people that are kind of beyond the how do I make money, but before the how do I scale and sell a company are needing to focus and kind of reinvent what it looks like. So that's kind of, I don't know, hopefully that's a good answer to your question.” 00:35 ChatGPT said: That's super helpful! It definitely gives a clearer picture of the direction you're going for and the kind of innovative, forward-thinking vibe you want to capture. I’ll put some thought into some naming and positioning ideas that blend that futuristic, AI-driven edge with a solid business foundation. I’ll circle back with some ideas for you! You said: “I will be waiting.” 00:01 ChatGPT said: Awesome! I’ll get started on brainstorming and share some ideas with you soon. Let me know if you have any other thoughts in the meantime! You said: Where are you at? ChatGPT said: Thanks! Before I dive into research and naming strategy ideas, could you please confirm a few details: What industry or segment are you primarily targeting (e.g., SaaS, coaching, e-commerce, professional services)? Should the naming and positioning emphasize cutting-edge tech, business value, or human-AI collaboration (or a mix)? Do you envision one cohesive name for the system/role or separate names for the AI system and the human operator? Any examples of brands, offerings, or terms you admire or want to differentiate from? Once I have this, I’ll create a batch of naming options and positioning ideas tailored to your goals. You said: We already talked through all this ChatGPT said: Thanks for confirming. I’ll explore strategic naming and positioning options for your AI-human paired offering focused on growth acceleration. This will include role titles like 'Chief Growth Agent' and naming concepts for the AI system, while aligning with the innovative, scalable, business-focused tone you’re after. I’ll share a naming and positioning report shortly with inspiration from competitors, market trends, and naming frameworks like those in the book Obviously Awesome. Research completed in 6m · 22 sources · 103 searches Naming and Positioning for AI-Powered Growth Offering Naming and Positioning Strategy for an AI-Augmented Growth Role Offering Introduction We are developing a new growth offering that embeds a hybrid human–AI executive into client businesses to drive revenue growth and operational excellence. This offering installs a “Chief Growth Agent” – a paired role where a human growth leader is augmented by a powerful AI system that continuously analyzes the company’s real-time data and generates proactive insights. The target customers are innovative, fast-scaling businesses that want to systematize growth and leverage cutting-edge AI, especially those already considering hiring a growth executive or an executive assistant to help leadership. Our goal is to communicate this product with a tone of business credibility (an executive-level solution delivering ROI) infused with futuristic AI innovation (an advanced, semi-autonomous decision-making system). The naming and positioning must be intuitive and differentiated, so decision-makers immediately grasp the value, while complex technical details remain “under the hood.” Below we outline naming options for the role and AI system, and a positioning strategy inspired by April Dunford’s Obviously Awesome framework. Role Title Naming Options (Human+AI Paired Role) The role title should convey both authority in growth (like a C-level executive) and the augmented AI aspect. It needs to be clear and credible, but also novel enough to signal that this isn’t a typical hire. Possible titles include: Proposed Title Connotation & Rationale Pros / Cons Chief Growth Agent (CGA) “Agent” suggests an active force (and nods to AI agents) driving growth. This title implies an executive role focused on growth, empowered by AI. Pros: Unique and futuristic; implies an AI-powered agent working for the company. Cons: Uncommon title – may require explanation that it’s akin to a CGO but augmented by AI. Chief AI Growth Officer Explicitly inserts “AI” into the title of a Chief Growth Officer. Conveys that this role leverages artificial intelligence for growth. Pros: Clearly highlights the AI component; still sounds like a C-level role. Cons: Slightly lengthy; could be misinterpreted as the AI itself being the officer (needs clarifying that it’s human+AI). Chief Revenue Agent Emphasizes revenue growth (like a Chief Revenue Officer) while using “Agent” to hint at AI agency. Focuses on financial outcomes (“revenue”). Pros: Outcome-focused (revenue); agent implies AI augmentation. Cons: Might be confused with a sales/CRO role; “agent” is not typically in executive titles. Growth Intelligence Officer Focuses on intelligence (data-driven insights) in growth. Implies the role is to provide smart, informed growth leadership. Pros: Conveys data intelligence aspect well; sounds executive. Cons: Not immediately clear that AI is involved (could just sound like a strategic analyst role). AI Growth Partner or Growth Catalyst These drop the “Chief” for a slightly less formal tone, highlighting partnership or catalytic effect on growth. Growth Catalyst implies accelerating change, AI Growth Partner suggests a collaborative helper. Pros: Simple, action-oriented language; suitable if presenting the offering as a service/partner rather than an internal title. Cons: Lacks the authority of a “Chief” title; might downplay the executive level nature of the role. Recommendation: Chief Growth Agent (CGA) stands out as a strong option. It carries the weight of a C-suite role (“Chief Growth…”) while the word Agent signals an innovative twist – aligning with the concept of AI agents working alongside humans. “Agent” also echoes the idea of agentic AI, which operates autonomously in pursuit of goals kornferry.com . This title is unique enough to spark curiosity, yet close enough to Chief Growth Officer to be recognizable as a growth-focused executive role. It strikes a balance between business credibility and AI-forward language. Other titles like Chief AI Growth Officer could work in contexts that demand explicit mention of AI, but we must ensure any title we choose is easily understood by our audience without extensive explanation. System/Technology Naming (AI Platform Identity) If the AI platform powering this offering is given its own brand name, it should evoke growth, intelligence, and proactivity. The system’s name will often appear alongside the role title in marketing or discussions (e.g. “Chief Growth Agent, enabled by the <Name> AI system”). We aim for a name that feels like a business tool (not a sci-fi gadget) yet hints at advanced technology. Here are some naming ideas for the AI system: GrowthX Engine – The “X” implies a multiplier or unknown factor (AI as the secret sauce). Engine denotes a driving force under the hood. This suggests the AI is a growth engine accelerating the business. Revenue Catalyst AI – Emphasizes that the system is a catalyst for revenue. Sounds results-oriented and indicates the AI’s purpose is to spark growth. Ascend AI – A short, positive name implying climbing or rising up. It gives a futuristic vibe (AI) with a clear connotation of growth (ascending). GrowthOS (Growth Operating System) – Positions the AI as an operating system for growth, suggesting an integrated platform that runs growth operations. It’s straightforward and techy. (Note: “GrowthOS” is used by some marketing platforms, so uniqueness would need checking.) NexaGrowth – A more brandable invented name (nexa = nexus/connection, implying it connects data with growth). It feels like a product name and could be trademarkable. CatalystGPT – Leverages familiarity with GPT-based AI but applies it to “Catalyst” for growth. Communicates an AI brain behind the scenes (though using “GPT” might feel buzzwordy). If we prefer not to personify the AI with a name, we could generically refer to it in communications as the “Growth Intelligence System” or “AI Growth Engine.” However, giving it a memorable name can help convey innovation. For example, saying “Our Chief Growth Agent, powered by the GrowthX Engine, analyzes your business 24/7” combines a human role with a clearly branded AI system. The name should be simple, professional, and descriptive (leaning more toward Growth and Results than overly sci-fi terms). It’s important that the system name doesn’t overshadow the role, but rather supports it. We want clients to remember the offer as a whole (the installed AI-augmented growth leader), not just the tech. Therefore, any system name chosen will be mentioned as the behind-the-scenes enabler of the Chief Growth Agent’s superhuman capabilities. Positioning Strategy (Inspired by Obviously Awesome) To position this offering effectively, we will follow key principles from April Dunford’s positioning framework. In Dunford’s terms, positioning defines how our product is the leader at delivering something our target customers really care about aprildunford.com . We need to identify our target segment, their needs, the alternatives they have, our unique value, and the market context – then craft messaging that makes our solution “obviously awesome” to them. Target Market & Pain Points Our primary target segment is small to midsize, innovative businesses that are in high-growth mode. These companies (for example, tech startups or modern D2C firms in Series A-C stage, 10–200 employees) have urgent growth goals but limited bandwidth and systems. Common pain points and needs include: Strategic Growth Leadership: They may lack a dedicated Chief Growth Officer or similar leader. Often the CEO or a small team is juggling growth strategy, leading to ad hoc decision-making and missed opportunities. They might be considering hiring a VP Growth, CGO, or a consultant, but are unsure if that alone will bring systematic growth. Data-Driven Insights: They have lots of business data (sales, marketing, user behavior, operations metrics) but struggle to harness it in real time. Important signals get lost in spreadsheets or siloed tools. They worry that decisions are based on stale or incomplete data. Bandwidth and Proactivity: Fast-growing firms are often reactive – putting out fires in sales or operations instead of proactively planning. They may even consider hiring an Executive Assistant just to keep up with daily tasks, hoping this frees leadership to focus on growth. However, an EA (or any human alone) can’t continuously monitor all aspects of the business or predict trends. Systematizing Growth: These companies want to move from scrappy startup tactics to repeatable processes that drive growth. They seek a way to embed growth capabilities into their organization’s fabric, so growth is not solely dependent on a single rockstar marketer or on lucky experiments. In essence, they care about consistent revenue increase, improved operational efficiency, and not missing critical signals in their business environment. In summary, our ideal customers “care a lot” about accelerating revenue and scaling operations efficiently, and they are open to new, tech-driven approaches. They likely already believe in the power of AI or at least are curious (tellingly, about 40% of small businesses are now using generative AI tools and seeing growth as a result uschamber.com ). These buyers value business outcomes (sales, ROI, productivity) but also want to stay ahead of the tech curve. Competitive Alternatives In positioning, it’s crucial to consider what customers might do if our offering didn’t exist heinzmarketing.com . Our “Chief Growth Agent” competes with several alternatives: Hiring a Traditional Growth Leader: The company could hire a full-time Chief Growth Officer (CGO) or Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). This person would bring strategy and experience, but without our AI, they rely on manual analysis or separate BI tools. Also, a seasoned CGO is expensive (often six-figure salaries) and may still take months to understand all the data. Fractional executives (part-time CGOs/CMOs) are another variant – lower commitment, but also limited engagement time and often juggling multiple clients. Using a Growth Agency or Consultants: They might engage a growth marketing agency or consulting firm for analytics and strategy. While agencies bring expertise, they typically focus on specific areas (marketing campaigns, CRO, etc.) rather than integrating all of a company’s data and operations. Agencies also operate on projects, not as an embedded executive, and the learning often leaves when the contract ends. Do-It-Yourself with Tools: The company could try to cover the gap with internal team members and various software tools. For example, a founder might use analytics dashboards, CRM reports, or hire a data analyst. They might set up alerts in their SaaS tools or use rudimentary AI features in apps. However, without a unified strategy, this often results in siloed insights. It’s common that the alternative “competitor” is simply business as usual – e.g. “use Excel and watch KPIs manually” or “hire an intern or EA to pull reports” heinzmarketing.com . This path is cheaper upfront but risks missed opportunities due to human limits and delayed decisions. Emerging AI Tools Only: There are AI-driven analytics and growth platforms (for instance, some startups offer “AI growth hacking” software or advanced BI). These can crunch data and even suggest actions, but without a human to provide context and drive organizational adoption, a tool alone may not get buy-in. Pure AI solutions also might not align perfectly with the business’s unique strategy or may flood the team with recommendations that no one has time to execute on. Why Our Offering is Different: Unlike a single human hire, we deliver a human+AI duo working in tandem. The Chief Growth Agent (the human) provides leadership, context, and the nuanced decision-making that requires human judgment. Meanwhile, the AI system works continuously in the background: aggregating live data across the company, spotting patterns, and even initiating routine actions or alerts. The AI doesn’t replace the human; it makes the human exponentially more effective. (As one observer put it, “AI won’t replace you, but a human using AI might.” kornferry.com In other words, companies that augment their people with AI gain a competitive edge.) Our CGA can focus on high-level strategy and creative problem-solving while trusting the AI to handle data monitoring and initial analysis – truly a “centaur” approach to leadership. Unique Value Proposition (Features & Benefits) The core value of our offering is that it delivers an “AI-augmented growth leader” into the client’s business, giving them capabilities far beyond a normal hire or tool. Key unique features and their benefits include: Integrated, Real-Time Data Pipeline: We connect the client’s relevant business data (from CRM, web analytics, finance systems, etc.) into an AI-optimized datastore in real time. The AI constantly ingests fresh data on sales, marketing campaigns, customer behavior, operational metrics, and more. The benefit is up-to-the-minute insight. The AI can flag opportunities or issues instantly rather than waiting for end-of-month reports. This real-time aspect means decisions are based on today’s reality, not last quarter’s ibm.com ibm.com . (As IBM notes, incorporating real-time data lets AI generate instant insights so businesses can respond proactively ibm.com – without it, AI would be “deciding based on yesterday’s reality” ibm.com .) Our system ensures the growth strategy is always informed by the latest facts on the ground. AI-Driven Alerts and Recommendations: The AI isn’t a passive number-cruncher; it’s configured as a proactive agent. It uses machine learning models (and possibly large-language models for certain analyses) to detect trends or anomalies. For example, it might notice a spike in demand from a new customer segment or early warning signs of churn in a product line. It then alerts the Chief Growth Agent with a recommended action (e.g., “We’re seeing increased traffic from source X converting at a high rate – consider reallocating budget there” or “Inventory turnover is slowing for Product Y; suggest a promotion or bundle”). Many decisions that would normally happen too slowly (or not at all) are surfaced and catalyzed by the AI. This semi-autonomous decision-making means the business can capitalize on opportunities or fix issues before they fully materialize. Essentially, the company gets an extra pair of eyes and hands: the AI watches the business 24/7 and even takes care of routine optimizations, while the human focuses on complex decisions and execution. Hybrid Decision-Making (“Human-in-the-Loop”): A crucial part of our value is the synergy between human judgment and AI analytics. We explicitly position this not as an AI black-box that operates unchecked, but as a collaborative system. The Chief Growth Agent interprets the AI’s insights in context of company culture, brand, and nuance – and then drives execution of the appropriate actions. This approach yields better outcomes than either alone. For instance, some decisions (pricing tweaks, A/B test launches) might be delegated to the AI to automate within set guardrails. Others (like a major new market entry strategy) are made by the human, but with AI-provided scenario simulations and data backing. The result is decisions that are faster and smarter than a human alone (because the AI provides depth of analysis and speed), and more strategically sound than AI alone (because the human applies judgment, creativity, and relationship management). One source described this balance well in a sales context: “It’s not about choosing AI or humans. It’s about finding the right tasks for each… The future of [business] isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about making them superhuman.” stackbd.com stackbd.com . We are making the client’s growth capability “superhuman” by augmenting a skilled person with a tireless AI sidekick. Single-Offer Simplicity: From a packaging standpoint, we offer one unified solution – essentially a “Growth-as-a-Service” model. The client doesn’t have to piece together a hire, plus an AI tool, plus a data project. We deliver the whole package: the talent and the tech, already integrated. For a straightforward fee structure (e.g. a flat monthly retainer, perhaps starting with a $1000 setup deposit as a simple entry point), the client onboards this Chief Growth Agent into their team. This simplicity is a feature: it’s easy to communicate (“We install a world-class AI-augmented growth officer in your business”) and easy for the client to say yes, without the complexity of multiple contracts or a long implementation. All the complexity is on our back end – the data integration, AI tuning, etc. – while the front-end offer to the client is clear and compelling: “plug-and-play growth leadership”. In essence, the unique value proposition can be summarized as: “We provide you with a dedicated growth executive who is supercharged by a custom AI platform. This duo will continuously find and execute revenue growth opportunities and efficiency improvements faster and more reliably than any traditional hire or tool.” The client gets both the strategic brain of an experienced human and the computational brawn of AI, in one solution. Differentiation & Competitive Positioning To ensure our positioning is effective, we highlight how we excel against each alternative: Vs. Hiring a CGO or Fractional Executive: Our CGA+AI will ramp up faster and make more data-grounded decisions. A normal CGO might spend months auditing data and still could miss subtle patterns; our AI short-circuits that by quickly digesting all the data and pointing the human to what matters. Moreover, one augmented person can likely outperform an entire small growth team – providing better value for money. We essentially offer an Executive+Analyst+Data Scientist in one. (This can be reinforced with case-style proof, e.g., “in X weeks, our AI-assisted CGA identified $Y of untapped revenue that a new hire alone might not have noticed.”) We also eliminate the risk of one person’s bias or blind spots, because the AI offers objective analysis. Vs. Agencies/Consultants: Unlike an external consultant who operates at arm’s length, our Chief Growth Agent becomes part of the client’s team. They carry an executive title and authority, which boosts internal buy-in for growth initiatives. The AI pipeline ensures they’re not working with partial information or only on a fixed project scope – they continuously watch the business. Also, whereas agencies focus on marketing campaigns or high-level advice, the CGA (with AI support) can influence cross-departmental levers (marketing, sales, product, operations) in an holistic growth strategy. Our offering is positioned more as a long-term partnership embedded in the company, rather than a short-term project. Vs. DIY Tools/Internal Effort: The differentiator here is automation and proactivity at scale. An internal team using dashboards might catch a trend eventually; our AI will catch it immediately and even act on it. The cognitive load on the company’s staff is reduced – they don’t have to remember to check 10 different reports, or struggle to interpret AI outputs – the CGA and system handle that. We turn what could be overwhelming (the complexity of AI and big data) into a done-for-you service. Additionally, by framing it as a “single, accountable role” (the CGA) who is responsible for growth outcomes (unlike a hodgepodge of tools), the client knows who is leading the charge. This clarity in accountability is a selling point: growth will no longer fall through the cracks. From a market category standpoint, we have a choice: position this offering as an enhancement within an existing category or carve out a new category. We might describe it as a form of “Fractional Chief Growth Officer (CGO) with AI”, since fractional or as-a-service executives is a concept some businesses know. In fact, early analogs exist – for example, one firm markets itself as a “Fractional AI Growth Officer” service, merging strategic consulting with AI automation for SMBs fortisedgeadvisors.com . Aligning with that category (fractional growth leadership) provides familiarity, but we will differentiate by emphasizing our AI infrastructure. Our messaging can say: “Unlike typical fractional executives, our Chief Growth Agent comes with a built-in AI ‘assistant’ and data engine that works 24/7 for you.” This positions us as the leader in a sub-category of AI-augmented growth services. Alternatively, we could name a new category such as “AI-Augmented Growth-as-a-Service” or “AI Chief of Growth Program.” Creating a new game (category) can make us seem very novel, but it risks confusing customers heinzmarketing.com if not done carefully. According to Dunford’s framework, if we choose a new category, we must make the link to what they already understand extremely clear heinzmarketing.com . So even if we coin a term, we’d always explain it in relation to existing concepts. For instance: “This is not just a software or a consultant – it’s a new hybrid: an AI-augmented Growth Officer embedded in your business.” In sales conversations, we’d likely reference both AI and executive service to anchor the idea. Messaging, Tone, and Promise The tone of our positioning should be confident and outcome-focused, with a touch of visionary excitement. We want to avoid overly technical jargon upfront – instead, lead with the business result and the innovative method. For example, a succinct value proposition could be: “Install an AI-augmented Chief Growth Officer in your company to unlock faster revenue growth.” This one-liner immediately tells a decision-maker that we’re offering a plug-in growth executive (something they recognize) but improved by AI (intriguing and modern). It balances clarity (“Chief Growth Officer” and “revenue growth” are concrete) with futuristic appeal (“AI-augmented” signals a next-gen solution). In supporting messages, we’ll emphasize credibility by citing tangible benefits (e.g. “drive growth 2x faster”, “improve operational efficiency by X%” if we have data), and innovation by describing the AI’s role (e.g. “our AI co-pilot monitors your business 24/7, so no opportunity is missed”). The language should convey partnership and ease. We are not selling a complex IT project; we are selling a service that feels like a natural addition to their leadership team (just one that happens to involve AI). A useful positioning framework is to articulate what we are not. For instance: “Don’t think of this as just another dashboard or another consultant; think of it as hiring a super-powered growth executive who comes packaged with their own AI analyst and automation.” This reinforces how we differ from both pure software and pure human services. Layering the AI Trend (Carefully) AI is a hot trend, and we certainly leverage that excitement – but we must tie it directly to our value. Dunford cautions that mentioning a trend without clear connection can confuse buyers heinzmarketing.com . In our case, AI is core to the product, so it’s more than a buzzword; however, we’ll ensure every mention of AI is linked to a benefit. For example, rather than just saying “we use advanced AI,” we’d say “our advanced AI instantly analyzes your live data to find growth opportunities” – always completing the thought with the outcome it enables. The trend of AI in business is accelerating (and many SMBs fear falling behind on it), so our positioning will also subtly speak to fear of missing out: companies that embrace AI-augmented leadership will outpace those that don’t. (Indeed, companies that integrate real-time AI gain a “significant market advantage” in speed and accuracy ibm.com .) We position our clients as forward-thinkers who get both a proven growth leader and cutting-edge tech in one step. Positioning Statement (Draft) Bringing it all together in a Dunford-style positioning statement: For innovative small and midsize businesses that need to accelerate revenue growth and streamline operations, our offering is an AI-augmented Growth Leadership service (a Chief Growth Agent installed in their company) that proactively drives growth by combining executive-level strategy with real-time AI-powered decision support. Unlike hiring a traditional growth executive or relying on generic AI tools alone, we provide a unified human+AI team dedicated to your business – delivering the creative strategy and accountability of a leader plus the speed and data-crunching of AI, resulting in faster, smarter growth decisions that directly impact your bottom line. This encapsulates our unique position as the best of both worlds. In short, we want customers to immediately grasp that “this is the future of growth leadership”. It’s a single, simple solution to a complex problem, spoken in the language of outcomes and with evidence of modern innovation.

Deep company knowledge over time; on-site leadership. High cost (salary + benefits); ramp-up time to learn business; limited by human capacity (can’t analyze everything 24/7). CGA is augmented by AI, enabling data analysis at scale and instant insights that a lone human wouldn’t catch. Also possibly lower cost than a senior full-time hire. Fractional CGO / Consultant Part-time executive or consultant providing growth strategy (often a few days a month). Expertise on demand; lower cost than full-time; external perspective. Not fully embedded – limited immersion; may focus only on advice, leaving execution to client; no unique tech – uses client’s data tools. CGA is dedicated exclusively to the client (even if not full-time on-site, they are “the growth owner” for that business). Plus, our AI gives them a continuously updated picture, far beyond what a periodic consultant could gather manually. Growth Marketing Agency External team running marketing campaigns, optimization, etc., to drive growth metrics. Specialized skills in campaigns, creative, etc.; can execute marketing tasks. Narrow focus (marketing-centric, not holistic business growth); works with a portfolio of clients (shared attention); success often measured in campaigns, not overall revenue ops. Our offering goes beyond marketing – it looks at all growth levers (sales process, product metrics, ops efficiency) via the AI’s data integration. The CGA, being part of the company’s leadership, ensures cross-functional alignment (not siloed like an agency engagement). AI Analytics Platform Software that connects to data sources, uses AI/ML to find insights (some offer recommendations or automation). Automated data analysis; can surface hidden patterns; runs continuously. Software output still needs interpretation and action by humans; may generate too many alerts or irrelevant findings; not tailored to one company’s strategy. No accountability – the tool won’t take responsibility for outcomes. We bundle technology with human context. The AI in our solution is custom-tuned to the business and the CGA filters and prioritizes its outputs. There’s accountability: the CGA role means there’s a person responsible for results, using the tool – not just a tool handing over lists. Status Quo (DIY) Continue with existing staff, maybe assign growth to an eager manager or use basic reporting tools. No added cost; people who know the company try their best; no disruption. Risk of stagnation; likely to miss data signals due to overload; the team may not have the expertise or time for strategic growth initiatives (they’re busy with day-to-day). Competitors who adopt AI or specialized roles may outpace them. We offer an easy, low-risk adoption of AI-powered growth – the deposit model or trial period can make it feel like a pilot rather than a massive commitment. By showing quick wins (the AI finding early opportunities), we overcome inertia. The cost is framed as an investment in a known quantity (a growth exec) but with amplified output. As seen above, no existing solution hits the exact sweet spot that our AI-human paired role does. A traditional hire offers leadership but no special tech; a tool offers tech but no leadership; agencies and consultants offer help but are not embedded or continuous. Our Chief Growth Agent occupies a unique position: an embedded, accountable leader with a cutting-edge AI sidekick. This differentiation will be the cornerstone of all marketing communications. We want potential clients to think: “This is obviously better – it’s like getting a top-tier growth leader and an AI platform for the price of one, and I don’t have to manage either of them; they manage growth for me.” Conclusion In conclusion, our naming and positioning strategy focuses on clarity, credibility, and a forward-looking edge: We recommend naming the role something like Chief Growth Agent (CGA) to immediately signal an executive growth function that’s enhanced by AI (with “Agent” subtly conveying the AI aspect). This title, along with alternatives like Chief AI Growth Officer or Chief Revenue Agent, was evaluated for impact. The chosen name should be intuitive yet differentiated, giving prospects a clear idea of the offer (a chief growth role) with a hint of innovation (AI augmentation). For the AI system, we propose a concise, brandable name (e.g., GrowthX Engine or Ascend AI) that complements the role title. The system’s name will support the futuristic tone, but remain secondary in communications to keep the offer simple. Decision-makers will understand they are buying a solution (an AI-powered growth leader), not just a gadget. Our positioning, following April Dunford’s framework, establishes us as the leader in delivering AI-augmented growth leadership to a specific customer profile that craves systematic growth. We highlighted our unique features (real-time data pipeline, AI-human collaboration, proactive decisions) and how those translate to customer value (faster revenue growth, smarter operations). We framed the market context such that traditional choices appear incomplete – shining a light on our offering as the obvious, modern solution. Remember, “positioning defines how your product is a leader at delivering something that a well-defined set of customers cares a lot about” aprildunford.com , and we have tailored our message precisely to what our clients care deeply about: growing their business faster and more efficiently than ever before. Finally, the tone of all messaging will blend business pragmatism with innovative flair. We’ll speak the language of ROI, KPIs, and strategy (to establish trust and credibility), while also painting a vision of an AI-empowered future (to excite and differentiate). The end promise to clients is bold but backed by our capabilities: Hire our AI-augmented Chief Growth Agent, and get the growth outcomes of tomorrow’s world – today. By delivering and communicating this promise consistently, we will position our offering as a must-have strategic advantage for forward-thinking companies, not just another tech tool or consulting service. Our naming and positioning choices ensure that upon hearing about our “Chief Growth Agent” and what it does, the reaction from target customers will be: “That sounds exactly like what we need – and I haven’t heard of anyone else doing it quite like this.” Sources: Dunford’s positioning principles aprildunford.com heinzmarketing.com heinzmarketing.com ; Korn Ferry on AI-augmented leaders kornferry.com ; IBM on real-time AI data ibm.com ibm.com ; U.S. Chamber on SMBs using AI uschamber.com ; StackBD on AI-human synergy stackbd.com stackbd.com ; Fortis Edge Advisors (Fractional AI Growth Officer example) fortisedgeadvisors.com . Sources You said: Okay, I just have to say, wow, I'm really, really impressed. I think this is really great. I'm going to give you three points of feedback, and then I might ask you a couple follow-up questions about this. So first of all, I agree with Chief Growth Agent as the strongest of the positioning statements and the overall framework. I do, though, want to make it clear that I don't think we're planning to install any humans as the Chief Growth Agent. My paradigm here is that the Chief Growth Agent is the agentic AI-enabled system, and then the goal of the company is to decide who that growth agent is paired with. So you could think of that from the perspective of who they report to, or you can think of that from the perspective of who are they paired with. So depending on the size and nature of the company, that might be anyone from the founder or CEO to a CTO or to anyone else. And like any good executive, they would have multiple people that are in and outputs around them within the organization that could rely on them. So as the growth suite, so to speak, within the C-suite, it probably is almost always some sort of a C-suite player, but that's that. So that's the first thing. The second big thing is we do see opportunities for humans in the loop and consultings opportunities. So in installing all of this, there will be opportunities for that. As we envision the full layout of our product Plum, we do see that as an option. One simple example would be, so we've got an Amazon ads full loop ecosystem where Cerebro Plum can take in data and make very specific recommendations for that platform because all the data is native in that platform. And then you can have a human in the loop that you hire that specifically runs that. Just like somebody might hire a creative agency, but let Cerebro take over more of the bid and budget decisions on Facebook ads or YouTube ads, but they would still rely on multiple agencies who may or may not use or rely on AI to complete them. So that's the second thing. The third point of feedback is overall, I'm looking to create this as an idea framework and to kind of be the thought leader who named the idea of chief growth agent, and then make us the natural solution to fill that hole or to say that that's there. So that's the big points of feedback and clarification. For actions, I'm looking to have you help me do a couple of things. First of all, what form should this content take? I would most prefer it to end up in some sort of a deck or some sort of a presentation that I could start giving and teaching. It'd be great to be able to teach the chief growth agent framework and help people kind of understand that there's an org chart implication and then there's data implications and teach the overall framework and then lead that into examples. Ultimately, I'm kind of thinking of this as a webinar or some YouTube videos or podcasts or even this could become a book. Second, I would love for you to help me figure out how this kind of all maps together. How do we help people understand that they're going to need this chief growth agent and they ultimately just need to get the data plumbed into AI the way we do it, and then that agent can be built? And there's a lot that can be done on our end, but they could go be in charge of building them or augmenting them or helping them. Yeah, so just any other recommendations or vision you have based on all the context available to you from this chat and the project. So I guess last thing is I need a easy way to export this chat to plug it into a couple other environments that I'm working from to move it around everything I'm using right now. ChatGPT said: Thanks for the feedback and clarity. To help develop a high-impact presentation (or webinar/book/podcast) teaching the Chief Growth Agent framework, could you confirm a few things so I tailor the structure and strategy precisely: What’s the typical target audience for the deck? (e.g., startup founders, agency leaders, mid-size company execs) Do you want the presentation to emphasize tech vision (agentic automation, AI plumbing, etc.), business value (growth, speed, decision leverage), or a blend? Would you like the deck to include example org charts, architecture diagrams, or customer use cases? Once I have that, I can structure a visual outline, content roadmap, and maybe even draft sample slides for you. You said: What's the typical audience? It's really entrepreneur-led organizations, so usually founder-led in general, not necessarily as much in tech. I could give you a bunch of personas and talk through lots of people, but it is startup founders, it is agency owners, and we are starting to have a lot of different personas. But, yeah, companies usually kind of off the ground and running and have data to analyze. A little less startup foundry, because they're capable of doing this, although they're good. You know, it would be anyone who listens to Alex Hormozy or Gary Vee or Greg Eisenberg would be audiences we like. I go to Strategic Coach, so we have a lot of people in that world. They have, like, a business, and then maybe they're an author of a book of some sort, but not necessarily. We work with companies that are trying to crack a million a year in growth and revenue, and we have companies currently on the platform doing 100 million. So we've got that broad range. The sweet spot seems to be the jump from 3 to 10 million and then 10 to, you know, 25 to 50, and then the 50 to 100 to more than that. Presentation, definitely wanted to feel more like I'm coming from the cutting-edge tech world, but I don't need to be as impressive to the tech folks, if that makes sense. More the business folks that are trying to think of themselves as early and rapid adopters of tech, more than people that are trying to think of themselves as the creators of the tech. And, yes, I would love the deck to include example org charts, architecture diagrams, et cetera. That would be fantastic. I'm a big fan of flowcharts and mermaid diagrams, those kind of things, and people tend to eat that up and love it. ChatGPT said: Great, thank you for the clarity. I’ll create a strategic outline and structure for a keynote-style presentation that introduces the Chief Growth Agent framework. It will include visuals like org charts, architecture diagrams, and step-by-step flows to explain the AI-human pairing, the Plum infrastructure, and the business value proposition. The tone will blend cutting-edge tech credibility with accessibility for founder-led, growth-oriented businesses that may not be deeply technical. I’ll also include ideas for how this could translate into formats like a webinar, YouTube talk, or future book. Research completed in 7m · 9 sources · 96 searches Presentation Strategy for Chief Growth Agent Framework Chief Growth Agent: The AI-Powered Growth Partner for Your Business Slide 1: The New Growth Challenge Title: The New Growth Challenge for Founder-Led Businesses Description: Founder-led companies ($3M–$50M+ revenue) face a daunting growth dilemma. The founder/CEO is juggling roles – marketing, sales, product, operations – leaving little time to strategize and scale. Data is scattered across tools (CRM, analytics, ads, finance), making it hard to see the full picture. Decisions are often gut-driven or delayed, and opportunities slip through cracks. This slide illustrates the pain points: overwhelmed founders, siloed data, and growth stalls. (Visual idea: image of a founder buried in charts and alerts, or a busy dashboard with too many apps open.) The goal is to resonate with the audience’s daily struggle, setting up the need for a better way. Slide 2: Rise of Intelligent Agents (Why Now) Title: Enter AI Agents – A Game Changer in 2025 Description: We’re at a tipping point in tech. AI has evolved from simple chatbots to autonomous agents that can take on complex tasks proactively medium.com . In fact, experts note that with the right guardrails, “next-generation AI agents have the potential to effectively and safely replace knowledge workers in many scenarios” medium.com . Major companies are deploying AI “co-workers” – e.g. Klarna’s AI agents now handle two-thirds of customer chats medium.com . And this is accelerating: there’s a 327% projected increase in AI agent adoption over the next two years fulcrumdigital.com , with early adopters seeing ~30% productivity gains fulcrumdigital.com . This slide highlights the trend with a few credible stats and examples (Visual: a timeline or infographic showing the explosion of AI agent adoption and productivity stats fulcrumdigital.com ). The message: AI agents aren’t sci-fi – they’re here, and savvy businesses are jumping in. Slide 3: Imagine an AI Growth Partner Title: What If Your Next Executive Isn’t Human? Description: Imagine starting your day with a briefing from an AI partner that worked all night on your business. Your “Chief Growth Officer” (CGO) presents: new leads identified, a marketing campaign tweaked at 2 AM for better ROI, an alert about a dip in sales with a ready fix, and a list of today’s top opportunities – all handled or prepared while you slept. This isn’t a scene from 2030, but a glimpse of what’s possible right now. (Visual: Perhaps an org chart or team graphic where alongside human roles, there’s an AI character labeled “Chief Growth Agent,” symbolizing the concept.) This slide paints a vision of an AI as a proactive growth partner – a role that complements the founder by handling the heavy lifting of data-crunching and execution. The aim is to spark excitement: what could you achieve if an AI agent had your back in growth? Slide 4: Meet the Chief Growth Agent Title: Meet the “Chief Growth Agent” (CGA) Description: Chief Growth Agent is our term for an AI-powered strategic growth operator – essentially, an AI “executive” focused on driving your business growth. It’s not a human hire, but it functions like a tireless Chief Growth Officer paired with you, the founder. The CGA plugs into your company’s digital bloodstream (data, tools, workflows) via Plum’s intelligent infrastructure. It analyzes real-time data, makes recommendations, and even executes decisions autonomously when you allow. Think of it as a 24/7 co-pilot: constantly learning from your sales numbers, marketing metrics, customer behavior, etc., and acting on them instantly. This slide defines the concept clearly in accessible terms (no jargon) and positions the CGA as a natural next step for businesses ready to scale. (Visual: A simple persona graphic – e.g., a friendly AI icon with a “CGA” badge – connected to various departments or KPIs, showing it in the center of growth operations.) Slide 5: How It Works – Intelligent Infrastructure Title: How It Works: Plum’s Intelligent Growth Engine Description: How can an AI agent actually run part of your business? The key is data and integration. Plum’s platform first connects all your critical data sources – marketing platforms, CRM, e-commerce, finance, operations – into a unified pipeline and an AI-ready database. (Visual: a flow diagram showing various data sources feeding into Plum’s data pipeline, then into an “AI Brain” box.) This AI-optimized data store is like giving the CGA “eyes and ears” on every aspect of your business in real time. With this comprehensive, well-structured data at its fingertips, the AI can understand context and trends across the whole company. On top of this, Plum provides advanced AI models (the “brain”) that analyze the data continuously. The CGA uses this to generate insights and answer complex questions (e.g., “Which marketing channel drove the highest LTV customers last quarter?”). Crucially, it doesn’t stop at analysis: it can suggest concrete decisions and actions. In essence, Plum is the enabling engine that turns your raw data into an ongoing cycle of decisions and actions. (This slide might use a simple architecture diagram: columns for Data Sources → Plum Data Pipeline → AI Decision Engine → Outputs/Actions in tools.) It reassures the audience that under the hood, there’s robust tech making the magic possible – but they don’t need to be technical to benefit. Slide 6: Human + AI – The Dream Team Title: The Founder + AI Partnership: How It Fits In Your Org Description: Introducing an AI “agent” can be daunting, so let’s clarify the roles. You (the human) provide vision, set goals, and define constraints – you’re the “chief” with creative strategy and domain expertise. The AI (Chief Growth Agent) takes on the role of a data-driven operator: monitoring metrics, executing routine decisions, and flagging strategic choices. (Visual: an org chart or venn diagram – e.g., Founder/CEO and CGA side by side at the top of the growth engine, with arrows showing CGA interfacing with Marketing, Sales, Ops data.) The CGA is not here to replace your team or your judgment; it’s here to amplify them. For example, you might set a goal (“expand into a new market” or “improve online conversion by 20%”), and the CGA will crunch the numbers and propose actionable plans to get there. It’s a true human-AI collaboration: the AI excels at processing vast data and fast execution, while you ensure the vision and creativity remain on point. Over time, as trust builds, you might delegate more autonomy to the CGA (just as you would to a talented human hire). This slide emphasizes that adopting a CGA means augmenting your organization, not upending it – akin to giving your team a super-intelligent ally who handles the grunt work while you focus on high-level leadership. Slide 7: What the Chief Growth Agent Does Title: Capabilities: What Can a Chief Growth Agent Actually Do? Description: This slide outlines the key responsibilities and tasks our AI Growth Agent handles on your behalf: Real-Time Analytics & Insights: It continuously analyzes KPIs across all departments – spotting trends, anomalies, and opportunities that a human might miss. For example, it might detect that a marketing campaign’s ROI suddenly dropped overnight and identify the cause (e.g., a change in ad costs). Marketing Optimization: The CGA manages and tweaks campaigns in real time. It can A/B test ad creatives, reallocate budget to the best-performing channels, or pause underperforming ads autonomously (with pre-set guidelines). It’s like having a marketing team optimizing 24/7. Sales & Customer Journey Enhancement: By plugging into CRM and customer data, the agent finds patterns (say, which leads are most likely to convert or which customers show churn signals). It then recommends actions: “These 50 leads are hot – let’s send a personalized offer now,” or “Customer X is at risk; initiate a retention campaign.” Operational Efficiency & Reporting: The CGA doesn’t just generate raw data reports – it provides narrative, decision-ready summaries. Every morning, you might get a digest: “Sales up 5%, driven by Product A; inventory for Product B is low, recommend ordering more; Team productivity dipped last week, likely due to…”, along with suggested fixes. It can also coordinate across systems – e.g., if inventory is low, it could automatically trigger a reorder through your system (if allowed). Execution Loops: Beyond recommendations, the CGA can implement approved decisions. For instance, if it finds a segment of users who respond to a certain email, it can auto-create and send a tailored email campaign to that segment. It’s capable of initiating tasks across tools without waiting for a human, delivering “pure work” rather than just advice medium.com . This is the big leap from traditional dashboards to an autonomous growth engine. (Visual: Could use an icon for each bullet – e.g., a magnifying glass for insights, a bullseye for marketing, a handshake for sales/customer, a gear for operations – connected to a central “CGA” icon.) The takeaway: the CGA covers a broad spectrum from analysis to action, functioning as an analyst, marketer, and operator in one. Slide 8: Benefits – Why You Need a CGA Title: The Payoff: Benefits of a Chief Growth Agent Description: Here we hit the business value directly, in terms that matter to founders and execs: Continuous Growth Monitoring: Your CGA watches over your business 24/7. Unlike a human team that sleeps or takes weekends off, the AI agent is always alert. This means if a problem or opportunity arises at midnight, it doesn’t wait – you’re either waking up to it fixed or already in motion. Opportunity cost goes way down. Faster, Data-Backed Decisions: No more paralysis by analysis. The CGA sifts through the noise and surfaces clear recommendations. It’s like having a team of analysts preparing decision options for you every hour. You get decision leverage – the ability to make high-quality decisions quickly, grounded in data, not guesswork. Automated Execution (Save Time & Effort): Think of all the micro-steps in executing growth strategies – planning campaigns, assigning tasks, checking if things got done. The CGA can bypass 80–90% of those manual coordination steps. Many actions can be taken end-to-end by the AI (especially digital tasks like sending emails, adjusting ad bids, updating a dashboard), which means growth initiatives happen faster with less labor. You effectively outsource the execution loop to a machine that doesn’t drop the ball. Consistency and Scalability: Humans have good days and bad days; AI agents are consistent. Your CGA will apply best practices every time, and scale as your business grows (no need to hire and train new analysts for each new project – the same agent simply handles more data). This consistency can lead to performance gains – studies already show companies using AI agents anticipate ~30% productivity boosts in knowledge work fulcrumdigital.com . Founder’s Focus & Peace of Mind: Perhaps most importantly, you as a founder reclaim precious time and mental energy. While the AI handles the grind – crunching numbers, monitoring funnels, executing routine optimizations – you can focus on big-picture strategy, creative product ideas, or simply have a saner work-life balance. As Dan Martell might put it, it’s about buying back your time to work “on” the business, not just “in” the business. The CGA acts as a force multiplier for your efforts. Each of these points drives home that the CGA isn’t just a fancy tech toy; it delivers tangible value – more growth, less stress, and greater leverage. Slide 9: Why Now – The AI Advantage Title: Why Now? Riding the AI Wave (Don’t Get Left Behind) Description: Adopting a Chief Growth Agent is not just about efficiency, it’s about staying competitive in a rapidly changing landscape. This slide highlights timeliness: AI technology (like GPT-4 and beyond) reached an inflection point recently where such autonomous agents are viable for small and mid-sized businesses, not just tech giants. We underscore a few key “why now” points: Tech Maturity: In the last 1–2 years, AI’s natural language understanding and decision-making ability have leaped forward. Tasks that used to require data science teams can now be handled by well-designed AI agents. We now have frameworks to safely let AI act autonomously within bounds – that’s new. Market Movement: A quick snapshot of industry trends – e.g., 96% of enterprises are expanding their use of AI agents in operations fulcrumdigital.com . While big companies charge ahead, this is a chance for smaller founder-led firms to punch above their weight by leveraging AI early. Those who embrace it can out-hustle competitors. Early Adopter Advantage: There’s a window now where using an AI like this is a differentiator. A slide could show a simple graph: companies using AI agents vs those not, highlighting gains in revenue or productivity. If relevant, quote a visionary: for instance, “AI agents are about to revolutionize work as we know it” – a sentiment echoed in many conferences (Dharmesh Shah of HubSpot recently spoke about this at INBOUND 2024, etc.). Accessible Infrastructure: Thanks to platforms like Plum, you don’t need a PhD or a $10M IT budget to deploy an AI growth agent. It’s offered as a service. This point assures the audience that adopting a CGA is feasible today, not some heavy future project. (Visual: perhaps a chart or upward trend line labeled with key stats, or logos of known AI breakthroughs of 2023–2025 to show the momentum.) Call-to-action angle: Position this as “the train is leaving the station” – just as businesses that embraced the internet or social media early won big, those who integrate AI agents early will lead their markets. This primes the audience to feel urgency and excitement about acting now. Slide 10: Plum – Your Partner in Growth Automation Title: Why Plum? – The Platform Powering the Chief Growth Agent Description: Having introduced the concept and benefits, we now position Plum as the enabler and solution provider. This slide explains what Plum brings to the table to make the Chief Growth Agent a reality: Unified Data Pipeline: Plum connects all those disparate data sources seamlessly. Whether it’s QuickBooks for finance, Shopify for e-com, HubSpot for CRM, Google Analytics, social media – Plum has pre-built connectors and a secure pipeline to funnel that data into one place. This is critical; the CGA’s intelligence is only as good as the data it can access, and Plum ensures it’s got the full picture (in real time). AI-Ready Infrastructure: Plum provides the AI-optimized database and computing power so you don’t have to worry about the tech backend. Your data gets structured, cleaned, and updated continuously. In essence, Plum is the “brains & plumbing” behind your CGA. Pre-trained Growth Agent: The Chief Growth Agent AI isn’t built from scratch for each business – Plum has developed a robust agent framework with knowledge of common business growth patterns (marketing, sales, SaaS metrics, etc.). It’s then customized to your business – learning your specific data and nuances (almost like onboarding a new executive, but much faster). This means from Day 1, the CGA has both general know-how and your company’s context. Security & Control: We know handing over data/decisions to AI raises concerns. Plum’s enterprise-grade security and permission systems ensure your data is safe. Plus, you set the boundaries – e.g., the CGA might need approval for budget increases over X amount, or you might start it in “recommendation-only” mode. You have a dashboard to oversee and adjust the CGA’s autonomy, providing peace of mind. (Visual cue: shield icon or control panel screenshot.) Expert Support & Integration: Plum’s team works with you to install and calibrate your CGA. We effectively “install” this AI growth officer into your business and train it alongside you. This includes integrating with your workflows (Slack, email, task systems – so the CGA can communicate and log actions where you already work). It’s a partnership model: we don’t just drop a tool and leave; we ensure the CGA is delivering value continuously. (Visual suggestion: a system architecture diagram highlighting Plum’s role – user’s various apps -> Plum (data & AI platform) -> outputs like dashboards, alerts, actions in apps). Possibly include Plum’s logo and a tagline. By the end of this slide, the audience should feel that Plum is the “easy button” to get an AI growth agent – we handle the complexity, you reap the benefits. Slide 11: Case Study / Example Title: A Day in the Life: [Example Company] with a CGA Description: To make it concrete, we present a mini case study of an entrepreneur who deployed a Chief Growth Agent. (If we have an actual client story, use that; if not, create a realistic hypothetical.) For example: Meet Sarah, founder of Acme Co. (an e-commerce brand doing $8M/yr). Before CGA, Sarah was drowning in dashboards every morning, trying to figure out why sales in one region dipped or which ad to scale. After installing a CGA (with Plum): Morning Insights: At 7am, Sarah gets a Slack message summary from her CGA: “Website conversion is down 10% in UK market since last week – primarily due to slower page load times. I recommend we compress images and run a flash promo to re-engage UK visitors who bounced. By the way, our Facebook ads had a CPA spike overnight; I already reallocated $500 from underperforming Ad Set B to Ad Set A which is 2x ROAS to protect spend.” This level of proactive insight and action happens automatically. During the Day: Sarah focuses on supplier negotiations and new product ideas while the CGA handles routine growth tasks. It identifies an uptick in demand for a product and emails the ops manager a restock recommendation with data to justify it. It also launches an A/B test on the homepage (with Sarah’s prior okay) to try out a new headline that it predicts could lift conversion. Afternoon Check-in: In a quick dashboard review, Sarah sees her CGA’s activity feed: dozens of micro-optimizations executed – e.g., 20 high-intent leads auto-assigned to a sales rep with personalized notes generated, 3 customer segments flagged for upsell with an email sequence queued up. It’s like a full team worked all day across analytics, marketing, and sales – but it was just the CGA executing her growth playbook. Results: Over a few months, Acme Co. grew revenue 15% without hiring any extra marketers or analysts. Sarah saved countless hours not diving into spreadsheets. She says her stress is down because there are “no more black boxes” – the CGA surfaces issues immediately. Her small team feels empowered, not replaced: the marketer on her team now uses the CGA’s insights to get creative on content rather than crunching numbers. This narrative-style slide helps the audience visualize the CGA in action and the tangible outcomes. (Visual: could be a before/after comparison chart or a storyboard graphic of the CGA’s interactions through the day.) Slide 12: Handling Concerns & Next Steps Title: What About X? – Common Questions (AI Myths Debunked) Description: It’s normal to have questions when introducing an AI agent into the business. This slide preempts a few common concerns early adopters might have: “Will the AI run wild or make bad decisions?” – The CGA operates within the goals and guardrails you set. It starts by recommending; you can require approvals for any actions. Over time, trust is earned incrementally. The AI isn’t a black box dictator; it’s a smart assistant that learns your preferences. “We’re not tech experts – is this too complex for us?” – Not at all. Plum’s service is fully managed. You don’t need an in-house data scientist. If you can use modern SaaS tools, you can work with a CGA. We handle the heavy lifting of integration and maintenance. The interface for you is intuitive – think natural language Q&A and simple dashboards. “How about data security and privacy?” – All your data is kept in a secure, encrypted environment. We follow enterprise-grade security protocols (we can mention compliance like GDPR, etc., if relevant). Plus, your CGA is your proprietary AI – it’s not sharing your data with others. In fact, having all data centralized might improve security versus scattered API connections. “Will this replace my team or change my org structure?” – The CGA is there to empower your team, not replace talented people. It takes over mundane, tedious tasks (so your team can focus on creative, high-touch work). Early adopters find that employees actually appreciate having an AI agent – it relieves them of grunt work and often boosts morale when introduced right fulcrumdigital.com . It’s like giving each employee a super-tool; they still drive, but now with a turbo engine. “What’s the investment and ROI?” – (Without going into specific pricing on a slide, you can say) It’s typically far less than hiring even a single mid-level employee, yet it performs the work of a whole team of analysts/optimizers. The ROI often shows in months via increased revenue or savings. And because it’s usage-based (in Plum’s model), you essentially pay as you scale – aligning cost with growth. After addressing these, we present Next Steps: e.g., “Interested in exploring a Chief Growth Agent for your business? Here’s how to start…” Maybe list: 1) Assessment Call – we’ll evaluate your data sources and growth goals; 2) Pilot Program – Plum offers a trial integration to prove value in a few weeks; 3) Full Deployment – with training and support. Encourage them to get in touch for a demo or strategy session. This sets the stage for the final call-to-action. (Visual: Could incorporate icons for security, support, ROI, etc., or even a friendly photo of the team behind Plum to put a human face behind the AI solution.) Slide 13: Vision & Call to Action Title: The Future of Growth – Will You Lead or Lag? Description: We conclude on an inspiring note. Vision: Successful businesses of the next 5–10 years will be those that master human-AI collaboration. Recall that opening scenario of a fully AI-augmented executive team – that future is coming medium.com medium.com . By embracing a Chief Growth Agent today, you’re effectively hiring the first autonomous executive on your team and staying ahead of the curve. Your competitors in a few years will likely all have AI agents boosting their growth – getting on board early means gaining a compounding advantage. We reinforce that Plum is here to make you the hero of this story – the founder who turned their company into a “robotic revenue engine” and blew past the growth plateau. Finally, the Call to Action: a bold prompt – “Ready to install your Chief Growth Agent and ignite unprecedented growth?” – followed by a direct next step (schedule a demo, visit our site, etc.). The slide might simply have an inspiring image (e.g., a rocket launch or graph shooting upward, symbolizing takeoff) and the call-to-action text. The tone is upbeat, confident, and encouraging, leaving the audience excited to take action. Beyond the Deck: Turning the Content into a Webinar, Video, or Book This content is rich enough to extend beyond a slide deck. Here’s how we can repurpose and expand it: Interactive Webinar: Transform the deck into a 45–60 minute webinar. The slides provide the visual backbone, while a presenter (or panel) can add commentary and live demos. For instance, during the webinar we could demo a mini-CGA in action (e.g., show a live dashboard or a simulation of the AI agent responding to questions). Polls can engage the audience (“What area of your business do you most wish you had AI help with?”) to make it interactive. A Q&A at the end can address specific concerns from attendees (many of which we pre-answered in the deck). The webinar format lets us dive deeper into technical questions for interested folks or share anecdotal stories verbally (giving a Dan Martell-style personal touch: e.g., “I remember as a founder myself, spending nights in spreadsheets – I wish I had this back then!”). We should also encourage attendees to book a one-on-one follow-up (converting interest to action). The narrative remains educational and inspirational, but with a bit more demonstration than the static deck. YouTube Keynote/Talk: For a YouTube video or keynote talk, we’d tighten the storyline for a shorter attention span – perhaps a 15–20 minute high-impact presentation. The tone can be punchier, channeling an Alex Hormozi-style hook at the start: e.g., “If you’re not leveraging an AI in your business, you’re leaving millions on the table” – something bold to grab attention. The visuals (slides or motion graphics) should be dynamic: include captions of key phrases, some stock footage (like an overworked founder vs. a calm founder with AI assistant), etc. We’d focus on the most compelling bits: the problem setup, the vision of the CGA, 2–3 big benefits, and a CTA – trimmed for a video audience. This could be delivered as a talking-head video of a speaker (with high energy and clear soundbites) cut with slide visuals. It should feel like a TED-style pitch: high-level, inspiring, and accessible to even non-technical viewers. A YouTube audience will also appreciate metaphors and analogies (e.g., “This AI agent is like Jarvis from Iron Man, but for your business’s growth”) to drive the concept home quickly. E-book or Guide: The content can easily expand into a short book or in-depth guide (perhaps titled “Chief Growth Agent: The New Playbook for AI-Driven Business Growth”). Each slide or section from the deck can become a chapter: Chapter 1 might explore the founder’s pain points in depth (with stories of a few different entrepreneurs). Chapter 2 could delve into the evolution of AI agents, citing more research and expert interviews (bringing in April Dunford’s positioning insights on how to introduce such a new concept to a market – see below). Chapter 3 introduces the CGA concept and technology more deeply (maybe including a beginner-friendly primer on how AI agents work, to educate non-technical readers). Subsequent chapters could cover implementing a CGA, managing the human-AI partnership (perhaps a chapter on “Organizational Readiness: Preparing Your Team for an AI Coworker”), case studies of successes, and a step-by-step guide to starting a pilot. The final chapters can outline future trends (painting that 5-year vision of AI-augmented companies) and actionable next steps. The writing style would remain conversational and insight-rich, similar to business books by tech founders or VCs, peppered with real examples and maybe quotes from early adopters. We’d also infuse it with the thought leadership tone: positioning the authors (our company) as visionaries leading this new category. In book format, we have space to incorporate frameworks, checklists (e.g., “Is your business ready for a CGA? – 10-point checklist”), and perhaps references to Obviously Awesome principles (like how to properly frame the CGA’s value so it “clicks” for readers in different industries). The book solidifies credibility and can be a great leave-behind or lead magnet for interested prospects who want to delve deeper. Each format – deck, webinar, video, or book – reinforces the core storyline but tailors the depth and delivery to the medium. By repurposing the content across these, we maximize reach: some founders prefer a quick YouTube summary, others want a deep-dive guide or interactive Q&A. Our strategy ensures the message of the Chief Growth Agent is clear and compelling in every channel. Framing & Narrative Flow (Inspired by Obviously Awesome) To effectively explain and promote the Chief Growth Agent, we must position it correctly in the minds of our audience. Borrowing from April Dunford’s Obviously Awesome framework, we’ll ensure our narrative answers the key positioning questions and flows logically: 1. Competitive Alternatives (Context): First, acknowledge what our target audience currently does to drive growth. Maybe they hire agencies or a growth lead, or they try to DIY with tools and spreadsheets. We paint this picture in the opening slides (the overwhelmed founder, the patchwork of tools). By doing so, we’re saying, “We get your world. This is the status quo.” This makes the audience receptive when we present something new – they see their reality reflected. For instance, we might say, “Without a CGA, you’re either burning out doing it all yourself or spending big on multiple hires or tools – and still not keeping up.” This sets the stage by subtly underscoring the shortcomings of existing options. 2. Unique Attributes: Next, we highlight what makes the Chief Growth Agent different from any solution they’ve seen. According to Dunford, pinpointing your unique features and capabilities is crucial. In our narrative, these are things like “AI that acts autonomously on your behalf,” “integrated, real-time data across the whole business,” and “the ability to both recommend and execute decisions.” We weave these into slides 4–7 as defining characteristics of the CGA. For example, we might explicitly contrast: “Unlike a human executive, the CGA can crunch a million data points without breaking a sweat, and unlike a standard AI tool or dashboard, it doesn’t wait for you to act – it takes action for you.” By clearly articulating these unique traits, we ensure the audience understands this isn’t just another analytics software or another virtual assistant – it’s a new beast altogether. 3. Value (So What?): Dunford emphasizes translating features into value for a specific customer. We do this in our benefits slide and examples. Each capability of the CGA is linked to a tangible benefit: time saved, more revenue, less stress, better decisions. For instance, “real-time analytics” is positioned as “catching opportunities and issues instantly (value: more money, fewer fires)”; “automated execution” is “doing the work of an entire team (value: lower costs, faster growth)”. We make sure to phrase things in the context of founder-led businesses: e.g., “As a $10M business owner, that means you might add an extra $2M in sales next year without adding headcount.” This way, the audience can visualize the ROI. The narrative flow moves smoothly from “what it is” to “what you get out of it,” answering the critical “Why should I care?” at each step. 4. Target Segment & Alignment: We subtly but deliberately call out who this is for – and by extension, who it’s not for. In our case: founders of growth-oriented companies, agencies, creators with product businesses, etc., typically in that $3M–$50M range. We tailor language and examples to this group (e.g., case study of an e-commerce founder, mention of agencies). This aligns with Dunford’s advice to make it obvious who should be most excited about this product. If we do our job, a founder in the audience thinks, “Wow, this was made for someone like me.” Conversely, if an enterprise VP or someone outside our ICP is watching, they might find it cool but recognize it’s geared to a smaller, agile business context – and that’s fine. Clear targeting in the narrative helps refine the positioning. 5. Category & Frame of Reference: Perhaps the biggest challenge is framing the Chief Growth Agent in a way that’s instantly understandable yet distinct. April Dunford would suggest finding a known frame of reference to anchor on, then highlighting how we redefine it. In our narrative, we toy with terms like “AI Chief Growth Officer” or “AI Executive Assistant” to give a hint of familiarity (everyone knows what a CFO or EA does). We ultimately use “Chief Growth Agent” to imply a new role/category. But we also make sure to explain it in plain language (slide 4’s description: “an AI-powered strategic growth operator – like a tireless growth executive” for clarity). By referencing something like “It’s as if you hired a world-class growth team, except it’s an AI”, we leverage an existing concept (hiring a growth team) but then flip it. Dunford calls this creating a new niche in the customer’s mind: we can say, “Think of it not as software, but as a virtual team member – a completely new category of solution for growth.” This way, we frame the CGA not as a gadget or a software tool, but as the first of a new class of AI colleague. That helps the audience compare it correctly: not against, say, Google Analytics or a chatbot, but against the idea of hiring talent or cobbling many tools together. Within that frame, the CGA stands out as obviously superior because of the previously listed unique attributes. 6. Narrative Flow & Storytelling: Inspired by Obviously Awesome, we ensure the story has a clear before-and-after arc. Before: You struggle with growth, try various suboptimal solutions. Trigger/Insight: AI agents are now a viable solution – aha! After: With a CGA, your business transforms (faster growth, less hassle). We use a classic storytelling flow: problem → emerging opportunity/trend → solution → outcomes. Also, we include mini-stories (like Sarah at Acme Co.) to make it relatable. April Dunford often talks about capturing attention with a story – we channel that by starting some slides with narrative (“On your drive to work, imagine…”) rather than dry facts. The overall tone is educating but also evangelizing this new concept, in a confident yet non-hypey way (credible stats, logical flow to back it up). By the end, through careful positioning, the audience should have that “lightbulb moment” where the Chief Growth Agent feels not just intriguing, but actually the obvious solution to the challenges outlined at the start – hence, “obviously awesome.” We even address the naming question transparently (if needed): since “Chief Growth Agent” is new, we treat the introduction of the term as part of the education (much like teaching a new industry term). We might say, “We call it a Chief Growth Agent because it’s an agent (AI) acting with the authority of a chief officer in growth decisions.” This gives meaning to the name and helps cement the concept. In summary, by applying Dunford’s positioning principles, we structure our content to first ground the audience in their problem, then reframe their perspective to see our AI solution as the best (and maybe only) answer for them. The narrative flow is intentional: from context → concept → value → vision, always tying back to making the product (CGA via Plum) the hero that solves the defined problem in a unique and compelling way. This strategic framing ensures that our explanation of the Chief Growth Agent doesn’t float as just a cool idea, but rather lands as a must-have innovation that’s perfectly suited to the audience’s needs and clearly differentiated from any alternative.
