You're deploying AI inside a regulated MRO world — the hard version. Let's talk about the workflow plumbing that sits between your ERP and your GTM motion.
Quick read — why I made this
- You've done the 400% growth lift at Component Control — the ceiling now isn't product, it's how fast your revenue ops can compound.
- Aviation ERP is sticky and regulated — but the sales/marketing layer around it (lead routing, ABM signal, RFP intake, partner data) is still mostly human glue.
- Hearst/CAMP-backed orgs can buy enterprise tools, but operators like you win with custom automations that match your actual sales cycle — not Salesforce defaults.
- This isn't a pitch deck — it's a peer note from another operator shipping AI workflows daily.
The shift hitting aviation GTM
- MRO buyers now expect ERP-connected sales experiences — demos, quotes, and onboarding personalized by fleet/part history.
- AI SDR + signal stacks are eating cold outbound; the winners are pairing them with domain-specific intent (FAA, ATA chapters, tail-number events).
- Marketing ops teams at regulated SaaS shops are 2–3x more productive when LLM workflows sit between CRM, ERP, and content — not replacing them.
Where SideGuy fits
- Custom workflow automation — connect Quantum-adjacent data, HubSpot/Salesforce, and AI models into one revenue stack.
- $100/hr, no retainer, no agency markup — operator rate for operator work.
- Ships fast — prototypes in days, not quarters. Built for people who already know what good looks like.

Daniel — I build AI workflows for the people actually running the ops, not the people writing thought-leadership about it. You're already deep in deployment, so you know the messy middle: the part between "the model works" and "the team uses it every Tuesday." That's my lane.
When to text PJ about Daniel

No — figure it out
- You haven't tried the obvious built-in fix yet
- Looking for a free template you can DIY in 10 min
- Just casually browsing, no real decision pending
- Need a service we don't actually route (we'll say so)
Daniel — 20 minutes, peer to peer?
No deck. Just comparing notes on what's actually shipping in aviation AI and where the workflow layer is breaking for your team.
