E315 • Sep 3, 2025 • 16 mins

In this episode, Melinda Emerson delves into the challenges and opportunities SaaS brands face in building brand awareness. She explores the evolving landscape of AI versus human coaching in business, sharing insights on her unique strengths and the future role of AI in coaching. The discussion extends to integrating AI into business strategies, offering practical advice for small business owners.

Key Points

  • Investing in brand awareness is crucial for long-term success, as skipping straight to conversions often overlooks the need to build trust and recognition in the market.
  • AI can enhance productivity and handle routine tasks, but it cannot replace the nuanced, trust-based relationships and live, transformational coaching that human experts provide.
  • To thrive in a future with increasing AI integration, small business leaders should focus on hybrid approaches that combine AI efficiency with personalized human interaction and unique brand value.
