AI for Small Business: From Marketing and Sales to HR and Operations, How to Employ the Power of Artificial Intelligence for Small Business Success (AI Advantage)

I first discovered Phil Pallen when he gave a class at Full Sail University, and seeing him teach made me want to dive deeper into his work. His book AI for Small Business is exactly what I was hoping for — practical, straightforward, and instantly useful. What stands out is how relevant it feels. Phil doesn’t just talk theory; he gives you real-world strategies that you can start applying to your business right away. On top of that, he points to the tools and skills that are emerging right now, making sure you’re not just keeping up but staying ahead. For any small business owner or entrepreneur, this book is an instant must-have. It bridges the gap between knowing about AI and actually using it to grow your business.

Well worth investing time to read the book. Comprehensive, clearly written with detailed examples and coverage of different aspects of business operations. The book contents are a great starting point to understanding the utilization of AI in business.

The strategies in this book are going to really help with productivity and processes at work. The tools Phil recommends are effective and easy to use, making them a perfect fit for small businesses. I was happy to see a few I'm already using, but many I hadn't heard of that I'm going to try. I'm already seeing results. Well done.

This book has been a very real and practical approach to integrating AI into our business. What has been most impactful from the book are the real-world examples from various businesses across multiple segments and how they have used AI to run their business. From marketing to content creation. And there are great example prompts that you can literally use right away to get started in the various AI tools. If you think AI is moving too fast to make a book relevant, this book will prove you wrong because it's less about the AI platform and more about what ideas you want to consider and then finding the right AI tool that is best for that idea.

Practical, applicable, and easy to follow. This is a really well constructed and thoughtful field guide to implementing AI in business. As someone who knows quite a bit about the space, I have a high bar — and this book gets my seal of approval.

I've been a fan of Phil Pallen for years. His newest book is a brilliant resource for small businesspeople on how to think differently about using AI in the day-to-day. Using examples of people in business ("hey, I have that problem too!"), giving options for prompts with a deeper focus on personal and professional outcomes (rather than, "just write it like this for 10 million follows"), and highlights of a wide variety of tools (more of the "I didn't even know AI could do THAT!"), I feel like I have a guidebook that will help boost my forays into this new-ish world. Phil writes accessibly and his genuine respect for the case studies in the book gives me hope that I, too, can learn and implement in a way that improves my business and my life.

As a solopreneur, I’ve dabbled with AI before but never imagined it could become such a powerful asset for a business like mine. After just four days with this book, I’ve already made major improvements and implemented systems I thought were out of reach without an assistant. The first thing I did was have it analyze the sales pages on my website—game-changing. Next, it helped me segment my email list with ease. I’m already noticing a boost in productivity, and I haven’t even finished the book yet! I can’t recommend it enough and feel truly grateful to have it in my hands.

If you’re a small business owner and AI feels overwhelming, this book is a lifesaver! Phil Pallen breaks everything down in a way that actually makes sense - no tech jargon, just real strategies you can use right away. I loved the case studies and step by step tips for things like marketing, sales, and customer service. It’s like having a roadmap for using AI to work smarter, not harder. Definitely worth the read!

I bought 3 AI books, this one was the best . You honestly dont need these books because you can just use chatgpt as your OG DADDY, but its a good book to like break you open / break the ice . id recommend it as a only book you need but end of the day all you need is chatgpt. this book can just open your mind to whats possible so yes its worth it

Absolutely every business owner needs to get this book ASAP! I subscribe to Phil’s YouTube channel & he always has the best tips on new tech & AI tools… but, wow! He really gave us everything we need to know to supercharge our biz with the help of AI. So interesting! Learned so many new things! Gave me so many ideas! You bet I’ll be implementing some recommendations. Thanks for all the practical advice. I’ll be recommending this book to all my friends who own businesses

I love learning from Phil and this book is packed with useful information. It shows how to bring AI into your business processes. Phil's expertise is evident throughout every chapter. The suggestions for tools are spot-on and clearly explained, making it easy to see their value. I’ve already started implementing some of the ideas, and the results are promising and there are so many others that I can't wait to try!

Found very little value in the book. The author keeps jumping from one section to another without any rhyme or reason. Most sections seem to be written by AI with little to no human intervention. I might be wrong but that's what I felt. Overall I am quite disappointed with the book.

If you've been dabbling with AI over the past few months as a business owner, this is THE BOOK you need. It's so well structured and even has examples for every aspect of your business (even things like supply chain optimization). Filled with prompts. This book could actually give you NEW ideas that you can incorporate intonyour business. But like any book, you should be willing to put in the work. There are so many things you can execute on. I think every business owner should get a copy to atleast educate themselves if the various possibilities with AI and integrating that into their business. Happy purchase for sure. 👍
