because we’ve all found someone who’s cheaper...

Hi Friend,
You know, I’m firing one of our sales team members.
Why?
Because I’ve found someone who’s cheaper, faster, and has a lot of potential.
Actually, not someone. It’s something.
Meet DeepSeek, my new open-source sidekick. If you haven’t heard about it—you are living under a rock. Btw, I am firing ChatGPT.
It’s not just another alternative to ChatGPT. DeepSeek is open-source, meaning you can customize it however you want. Those cookie-cutter sales tools—they don’t even compare.
Here’s why I’m making room for it:

Ever used a sales tool and thought, “This would be great if it didn’t make me follow its rules”? DeepSeek flips that.
You can make it work your way.
⦁ Want your lead scoring to focus on CEOs clicking a specific case study? Easy.
⦁ Need a trigger to send a confetti GIF when someone books a demo? Go for it.
What’s your biggest frustration with sales tools?
⦁ They feel rigid—your workflow doesn’t fit.
⦁ Too many useless features.
⦁ Not enough confetti.

We all have that one tool in our stack that just won’t integrate. (Looking at you, outdated CRMs.)
DeepSeek is open-source, which means you can build bridges to connect it with anything.
For example, imagine your CRM, marketing platform, and data dashboards all synced with DeepSeek. You’re in a pitch, and it will inform, “This lead just opened the pricing page and watched the product video.”
That’s the kind of sales insight DeepSeek delivers.

A competitor launches a new feature, and you’re scrambling to adjust. DeepSeek? It already spotted the shift and is feeding you ideas for how to respond.
Your rep is not reacting to “They’ve been checking out Competitor X’s new thing.” Instead, they’re ready with, “Here’s why our feature is still a better fit.”
Confident, smooth, and prepared.

Let’s talk security for a sec. Proprietary tools can be a bit like renting a storage locker—you’re not quite sure who else has the key. With DeepSeek, you decide where the data lives. You can host it in your secure environment, audit its behavior, and sleep easy knowing no one’s snooping around your prospects’ private info.
If your sales data were a pizza, DeepSeek lets you decide what toppings go on it, who slices it, and who gets to eat it. 🍕

Sales moves fast. Most tools don’t. You wait months for updates, only to find out they don’t solve your problem.
With DeepSeek, you don’t wait—you build.
⦁ Change lead scoring models.
⦁ Add new data streams.
⦁ Use AI to analyze emails in real time.
Your team’s ideas don’t sit in a vendor’s inbox. They’re live as soon as you make them.
If you could add one magical feature to your sales tool today, what would it be? |
Warning!
I am not actually replacing everything with DeepSeek. Not yet. It’s had some bugs and even faced a cyberattack. Plus, there’s talk it might get banned since it’s from China.
Still, with its low cost and flexible API, it’s hard to ignore.
I’d love to hear how you’d use it. Got a wild idea? Send it my way—it might just end up in the next newsletter.
Cheers!
