Receivables Info Executive Spotlight with Chris Perez

The small, tight-knit team. It is freeing knowing I work with a team that has my back rather than being just another cog in the machine.

The Generative Search Experience (GSE) that Google is rolling out is using AI to try to answer a user’s search query instead of showing them a list of websites. This is going to fundamentally change what it means to “be at the top of the page,” and I am excited to get a head start on preparing for it.

With the growing prevalence of AI in search, I wouldn’t be surprised if Google eventually replaced the entire search page with a single AI-generated response, removing the classic website links entirely. Whether your website gets seen will be entirely based on how well you can fit into the “curated sources” that the AI uses to generate an answer.

“You will know it when you see it.” We have a way of making excuses for ourselves, or latching on to metrics or measures and saying “that is good enough, right?” I feel that measuring personal success by an arbitrary metric is more often used as an excuse to quit early than a sign that you achieved your goals. The most accurate measure to me then is the feeling of internal satisfaction free from any nagging doubts that you can do more.

“Before you assume the worst in someone, ask yourself if there is a reason they could have that would make it okay.” If someone is speeding and cuts you off on the highway, you might assume that they are an impatient jerk, but they might be rushing to the hospital to see a loved one on their deathbed. We never know the full story of what is going on in someone’s life. It’s an exercise in empathy to try to find positive reasons for their actions instead of assuming the worst.
