Third Thursday Think Tank: Finding Customers in 2026 with A.I.

**HYBRID EVENT**

Finding new customers in 2026 doesn’t look anything like it did just a few years ago. Traditional methods—cold calls, manual prospecting, and generic outreach—are no longer just inefficient; they’re costing small business owners valuable time and missed opportunities. For lean teams and solo founders, that time is everything.

But there’s a smarter, more strategic way forward.

In this session, you’ll discover how to leverage AI as a “Digital Chief of Staff” to streamline growth efforts. From identifying the right prospects to conducting deep research and preparing personalized outreach, AI can handle the heavy lifting—freeing you up to focus on what matters most: building relationships, closing deals, and leading your business.

You’ll walk away with practical insights on how to:

• Identify and target your ideal customers more effectively
• Reduce time spent on manual research and outreach
• Use AI tools to prepare for higher-quality conversations
• Create a more consistent and predictable approach to customer growth

This session is ideal for:

• Veterans and military-connected entrepreneurs ready to scale their impact
• Small business owners looking to build a more predictable pipeline
• Founders and operators working with limited time, staff, and resources

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to refine your current approach, this session will equip you with modern strategies to compete—and win—in today’s fast-moving business landscape.
