AI shouldn't hold the gun. That is the analogy behind the AI Code of Conduct for the Home from Alex Capecelatro of Josh.ai.

If AI holds the gun, it can act on its own. If you hold it and the AI only recommends, you can say no: "The AI can recommend it, but you ultimately are in charge of what decisions you make."

The code includes a big red stop button rule and questions to ask a manufacturer before a product goes into a home.

Your home is a riskier place for AI than your laptop.

Alex Capecelatro of Josh.ai gives four reasons: a home has physical consequences (locks, garage doors, fireplaces, thermostats), it knows when you wake up, leave and come back, it is shared with people who never chose the system, and you can't turn it off without losing heat, lights and security.

He explains why those four call for their own rules on The Flywheel Effect.

In a house with 20 TVs, every TV was trimmed out differently behind the wall. James Hathaway of Innovative Audio Video Designs says of that period:

"You could literally tell if technician A, B or C was on site that day."

It happened when the company hired quickly to cover a surge in work.

James explains how he rebuilt the team and the standard on The Flywheel Effect.

A lot of sales teams are the size they are because of fear. Owners keep extra reps on payroll because they dread what happens if one of them leaves.

Our new article takes that on. When four or five reps each produce $500,000 to $1,000,000 a year, the company pays full-time salaries for modest output, and profit margins absorb it.

Fix sales performance first and the margins recover. Read it here: https://growwithvital.com/are-you-overpaying-for-1m-sales-performers/

How many salespeople does it take to sell $4 million? Four reps at $1 million each get there. So do two reps at $2 million each.

The difference shows up in payroll. Our new article looks at what happens when a company carries four or five reps who each bring in $500,000 to $1,000,000, and the two fixes that bring sales overhead back in line.
