"Can AI help me find leads faster?"
Wrong question.
The right question:
"How can I THINK differently about finding leads?"
Let me show you what I mean.
The Excel Mindset Shift
You know Excel, right?
Most people use it as a calculator. Type "5+3." Get 8. Done.
But Excel can:
Connect to databases
Automate calculations
Build interactive dashboards
Create visual reports
Parse complex data
Run elaborate formulas
Same tool. Different thinking.
ChatGPT is identical.
Most people type: "Find me some leads." They get a list. They copy-paste. They're done.
They never ask: "What if I could build something more?"
The Agent Mode Blindness
When Agent Mode launched, I watched something fascinating.
People opened it. Looked around. Said "meh." Went back to basic prompts.
They saw a feature. Not a framework.
They missed the real power:
You can chain activities together.
Not one task. Complete workflows.
Not one helper. Entire teams.
Your Critical Thinking Advantage
Here's what separates beginners from builders:
Beginners think: "How can I prompt better?"
Builders think: "How can I eliminate this workflow?"
Watch the difference:
Beginner Approach:
Prompt: "Find LinkedIn leads"
Get a random list
Manually verify each
Format for CRM
Write individual messages
Time: 3 hours
Builder Approach:
Create a 4-agent workflow
Press run
Get verified, formatted, messaged leads
Time: 5 minutes
Same ChatGPT. Different thinking.
The 4-Agent LinkedIn System
Here's the framework I use:
Agent 1: Lead Finder
Searches for exact criteria
Gathers specific data
Outputs structured results
Passes to Agent 2
Agent 2: Verifier
Confirms organizations exist
Checks decision-making authority
Removes duplicates
Passes to Agent 3
Agent 3: CRM Loader
Formats for your system
Creates CSV output
Provides statistics
Passes to Agent 4
Agent 4: Outreach Agent
Writes personalized messages
References specific details
Maintains professional tone
Delivers the final package
Four agents. One workflow. Zero manual work.
The Compound Power
But here's what matters:
This isn't about LinkedIn.
Once you THINK this way, you see workflows everywhere:
Customer Service:
Agent 1: Categorize inquiries
Agent 2: Draft responses
Agent 3: Verify accuracy
Agent 4: Format and send
Content Creation:
Agent 1: Research topics
Agent 2: Create outlines
Agent 3: Write drafts
Agent 4: Format and optimize
Proposal Writing:
Agent 1: Gather requirements
Agent 2: Pull past wins
Agent 3: Draft sections
Agent 4: Format document
Same thinking. Different applications. Endless possibilities.
The Digital Helper Revolution
You're not learning to use AI. You're learning to think in systems.
Every manual task you do has steps. Every step can become an agent. Every agent can work together.
That's the shift:
From: "How do I do this faster?" To: "How do I never do this again?"
Your Thinking Challenge
Look at your day tomorrow.
Pick ONE repetitive task. Break it into steps. Ask yourself:
"Could an agent do step 1?" "Could another handle step 2?" "Could they work together?"
The answer is almost always yes.
You just need to THINK differently.
Three Types of AI Users
Prompters - Type questions, get answers
Power Users - Write better prompts
Builders - Create digital workforces
Which one transforms businesses, Builders.
The Bottom Line
Everyone has access to ChatGPT. Everyone sees the same features. Everyone gets the same updates.
The difference?
Critical thinking.
Some see a chatbot. Others see a digital team waiting to be built.
Some type prompts. Others build systems.
Some work IN their business. Others build digital helpers to work FOR them.
Your Next Move
Stop asking: "What's the best prompt?" Start asking: "What workflow can I eliminate?"
Stop thinking: "How can AI help me?" Start thinking: "What would my digital team do?"
The tools are free. The features are there. The only limit is your thinking.
Time to think bigger.
