The Skill That Won't Go Obsolete


Let's face it... there are a lot of business skills getting eaten for lunch with AI these days.

  • Copywriting.
  • Ads.
  • Content.

And while AI can't do as good a job as humans can (yet), we're watching AI replace us at lightning speed and it leaves many of us thinking, "What should I focus on in 2026 that AI can't easily take?"

Knowing that list of priorities will be imperative, and at the top of the list... will be this one skill.

Sales.

When you hear that word, you might shudder. You might envision awkward sales calls, webinars to crickets, or sleezy DMs and emails from random strangers.

Or you might think "Oh good! Sales isn't my problem in business. I've got this!"

Whatever your relationship with the skill of sales, we're putting it as a top priority in 2026: For us, and for our customers.

And to kick that off, we're doing a very special podcast series all about sales, and it's FREE this week!

Episode #1 is available now on Apple or Spotify and it's called Sales: Skill Vs. Personality?

Given the topic of this email you can kinda guess where we fall in this debate about sales being a skill or a personality trait, but in this episode, we crack open common misconceptions about personalities that are supposedly "good" or "bad" at sales.

Another reason you'll want to listen to this episode is because we spend a good amount of time at the beginning of the episode explaining how to tell if you have a MARKETING problem or a SALES problem. In the conversation of sales, many people don't even recognize their issue with sales because they *think* that if they just had more leads, they'd close fine.

Lots of good stuff packed in this special episode of the Gorgeous Effect. Be sure to tune in!
