Welcome to Prompt Punk — The 5-minute AI newsletter for people who sell technology.
You might be an AE, executive, marketer, founder, product leader, engineer, sales manager, biz dev gal or something else. Welcome.
✅ Signal, not noise — the most important AI news AND why it matters.
✅ Opportunities — tools, tactics, jobs, customer stories and trends to help you close deals, advance your career or at least outsmart slower people 😝
✅ Humor — because in the long run, we’re all dead.
You might be wondering what qualifies me to write about AI for tech sellers. Well…I’ve been selling technology since 2008. My first “real” job was for a small startup called Facebook. We slinged ads with incredible targeting and tried to convince the world social media wasn’t just for Harvard kids.
After Facebook, I began my my startup journey. I built a B2B Fintech SaaS with no name, no connections and no money all the way to a tasty exit. I then proceeded to dabble with Bitcoin back 2017 when the price was $1,000. Big thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto for buying my first house.
Then I joined Amazon Web Services and got involved in cloud and AI. I have first hand experience trying to sell AI from startups to enterprises. So unlike other newsletters, I’ve actually sold the stuff I write about. My career has taken me from the UK (I am British), living in the good old U.S. of A and a little country called Denmark.
I can write about this stuff because I know tech from the perspective of people responsible for revenue. 💰
I created this newsletter, because most information sources were either regurgitated press releases, plain boring or written for developers.
This newsletter is for you 🫵
I hope you enjoy reading,
John
