12 Days of AI Christmas
It’s been a long old year. There’s been a lot going on. The macro environment remains volatile with Gaza, Ukraine, the US presidential race and the recent UK budget to name a few. In business terms, one topic has permeated the majority of conversations (and recorded many of them) – the use and effectiveness of Generative AI.
At LINAR Consulting, we’re bl00dy excited about an AI enabled future. We understand the hesitancy associated with use of a technology that is not widely understood and the potential risks associated with a wider distribution of LLM models. Our strong view remains that with more awareness, education and work on specific use cases, AI can be a force for great when applied to BD & sales teams across the professional services industry. So, guess what we’ll be concentrating on in 2025! Working with our customer base to embed AI within your team’s daily work practices.
That’s why we’ve created LINAR’s 12 Days of Christmas — a series of practical, actionable tips designed to help you dip your toe in the water and get the most out of the wide variety of AI tools out there.
Some of these tips will feature tools you know; others may surprise you. But all of them are focused on one thing: saving you valuable time, in a period when everything feels rushed.
And, as with all these things, the most important part is what you do with the time that is given to you. Whether you use it to focus on strategy, reconnect with your team, or simply take a well-earned break, the choice is yours.
So, let’s get started. One tip at a time, delivered daily, building toward a more productive (and less stressful) 2025.

Tip
We’ll start with one of the most common and practical uses of ChatGPT: drafting personalised emails. Whether you’re following up after a meeting, reaching out to a prospect, or sending a thank-you note, AI can help you craft messages that are polished, professional, and quick to produce.
Example use
📩 Generate follow-up emails after meetings, outreach messages for cold leads, or thank-you notes tailored to specific audiences.
How to implement
- Write a clear prompt: For example, “Draft a follow-up email to [Client Name] after our meeting discussing [Topic]. Keep it professional but friendly, and suggest a next step.”
- Use voice control: 🎙️ Dictate your initial idea to ensure your personal thoughts and tone are reflected, and let ChatGPT refine it.
- Review for tone and brand voice: ✍️ Quickly tweak the email to fit your company’s style before sending.
Time saved
⏱️ 15–30 minutes per email, especially for routine correspondence.
