What can AI do for me? Speaking to the puzzled, intrigued and curious.
What do sales managers say about AI as a tool to help them manage? Are they welcoming or defensive. Our guest, Anil Kaul, says that most are still puzzled, intrigued and curious. Tune in Thursday 10:30am Pacific.
He asks us to ask the question, "What am I going to be doing next to increase productivity?" First, hire the right sales person, coach them, and spend the time training them. Companies spend a lot of time hiring and firing sales staff. They take the hit and miss approach. And now sales managers are expected to spend all of their time coaching. Listen to how this can be solved so sales can get back to SALES and managers can better use their time.
It's almost like a pocket coach telling you what will work best next. THIS is a great support for managers. But what about the companies that choose to hire coaches?
- not easy to find
- coaches are expensive
- acoach does best on what they know and experience.
AI has all the data available.
- AI learns from history of that client or prospect.
- AI learns from other similar prospects and clients and can go back in history to see what has worked in the past.
- AI learns from your best sales people.
- AI continuously learning, finding patterns and humans might miss.
- AI learns in real time and can adjust in real time based on new data.
We expect too much from our sales teams:
- expect sales to consume tons of information - read the news, make connections from all the information.
- be analtyically so good to figure out what is the best plan for their customer or prospect.
- best sales people have that intuition, but 98% don't have that skill.
Listen to this show to the solution for sales and sales managers. Let's get back to sales being an enjoyable, exciting job!
