When a retailer learns our value proposition here at Connecting Point Marketing Group , we have a hard time keeping them away. That's a good thing for both of us. ?? I just had a retailer from the grocery world reach out because he's now at a Convenience Store. Within his first week of employment in this new industry, he reached out to me. Why? Because he knows: ?? He'll network with and learn from his Peers. ?? Have quality conversations with Suppliers that want to be partners, not just a vendor. ?? Save time and money by condensing months of work to 2.5 days. ?? Build lasting personal and professional relationships. ?? Have fun. So if in 2025 you want to make the above come true, reach out!

We're here to help!

Last month, I had the privilege of delivering the AI keynote at NextPoint Event in Naples. ? The keynote focused on "Deploying AI in the enterprise for maximum ROI and minimum risk" — something we are truly passionate about at DeepFabric. ? Leaders at the conference, who are at the forefront of innovation, AI strategy, and execution in some of America's top companies (including Jonah Sigel, Steve Zawlocki, Luke Leon, DeAnn Campbell, Marko Rivas, Paul Stefaniuk, Jeremy Lupton), resonated with our findings and recommendations: ? The recent era of dedicating substantial organizational time, money, and resources solely for AI experimentation is over. Companies are now focused on implementing specific use cases that offer maximum ROI with the least risk. ? This approach doesn't mean abandoning experimentation altogether. Rather, it involves starting with a solid foundation that doesn't involve organizational distractions, delivering measurable ROI, and then scaling those results rapidly. ? At the keynote and following 1:1s, we specifically discussed how to embark on this journey. ? Stay tuned for more insights from the DeepFabric team. ? Special thanks to Marcos Buelvas, John Benner, Dina Mitchell-Ellis, Colby Taylor, Nancy Splaine and Aracely Santos Ferraresi for the partnership and fostering such an inspiring environment.
