Quick thoughts on AI in Sales... I'm here at a sales enablement conference where so many folks are talking about the power of AI to scale. I'm talking to vendors showcasing their tools. But as a Sales Leader - I see 2 massive holes leading to one conclusion. 1) Using AI to draft emails pulling from you content focuses every email about your product - NOT THE CUSTOMER. No connection to the persona, the customer market, the customer's objectives. Yes, it pulls from what works based upon data, but an email or message shouldn't work "at scale" - it should work once. 2) AI Call Coaching. A very slick demo of an AI bot pretending to be a customer. But fails the human connection. The responses are robotic, simplified, cold. The best reps intuitively MIRROR their customers. If we have a young sales person training with this program, we are training them to either a) mirror a robot, or b) training them to avoid mirroring. The conclusion - we are homogenizing our teams... It'll work for a while as the AI follows the data, but then customers will recognize it and reject it. Just like all the other automated emails inboxes everywere. But this time, the customer will see it in the calls, too. My two cents... Give me thoughts - does AI improve the craft? or are we turning sales reps into robots?
