Hey! This is Ep 143 of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz.Watch Me Build This Into a Complete AI-Powered Framework - "Good Marketing Makes Sales Easy”
Picture this: You're at an event, you scribble down one brilliant idea, and then... it sits in your notebook collecting dust. Sound familiar?Not this time. I had one simple note from Los Cabo: "Persuasion Marketing makes sales easy." Instead of letting it die in my notebook, I decided to do something radical - turn that single insight into a complete business strategy using AI, and film the ENTIRE process so you could watch over my shoulder.
This isn't some polished, after-the-fact tutorial. This is raw, authentic AI usage in action. You'll literally watch me go from idea → research → framework → actionable strategy in real-time. No fluff, no BS, just pure "dog fooding" of my own AI tools while building something that could transform how you think about marketing.
Here's What Just Happened (And What You'll Learn):

✅ How I used AI to avoid weeks of framework development

✅ The exact prompts and tools that turned chaos into clarity

✅ Why 99% of people are using AI wrong (and trivializing a field built on 8 complex sciences)

✅ My complete Persuasion Framework that maps every stage of your customer journey

✅ The specific assets you need to create for each type of audience

✅ Real AI team members that can 10x your marketing output🎯 The Game-Changing Framework:
- Prime & Pattern: Turn strangers into followers with quick wins

- Prove & Position: Convert skeptics with borrowed authority

- Present & Persist: Stay top-of-mind with value-driven content

- Propose & Process: Turn hot leads into paying customers⚡ The Plot Twist: Everything you just watched me build? It's going to become a complete video series where I show you how to create every single asset mentioned. You're getting the blueprint AND watching the construction in real-time.
