Driving Distribution Forward with AI: A Conversation with Proton’s Benj Cohen
"Joining us on the People Powered Tech Podcast is Benj Cohen, the founder and CEO of Proton AI, an AI-Powered CRM for distributors. Both ProfitOptics and Proton will be at the Distribution Strategy Group Applied AI Conference in Chicago in early June. They will be joining distributors and other service providers in sharing practical applications of AI that are driving the distribution industry forward. In this conversation, Nick and Benj discuss topics that range from what small to large distributors need to consider when building with AI, some practical use cases and data considerations, as well as the importance of culture in distribution when implementing technology. If you enjoy this conversation, both Benj and Nick would be happy to continue much of this - either virtual, or in person at DSG Applied AI. Reach out if you’re interested in attending, and we will be happy to provide a discount code for attendance. "
