Sales Performance Increase 200% With Generative AI

Sale is basically activities of email and conversation which are creative and manual. Sales is not only finding customers and talking about the products with hoping they will buy them. Researching customer behavior, and customizing content to be suitable for particular customers takes a lot of time. That is why sales are well-suited to the capabilities of generative AI models. Selling is interaction and transaction-intensive, producing large volumes of data, including text from email chains, audio of phone conversations, and video of personal interactions. These are exactly the types of unstructured data the models are designed to work with. The creative and organic nature of selling creates immense opportunities for generative AI to interpret, learn, link, and customize.

Generative AI sometimes draws wrong, biased, or inconsistent conclusions. Although the publicly accessible models are valuable (hundreds of millions of users like us have already used ChatGPT to query the knowledge base on practically every topic), the true power for sales teams comes when models are customized and fine-tuned on company-specific data and contexts. This can be expensive and requires scarce expertise, including people with significant knowledge of AI and sales. So how can sales organizations harvest the value without wasting energy on heading down unproductive pathways?

Before we get into how consider What Generative AI will assist sales optimizing performance.

Remove Administrative Duties

The fact, the more customers you have the more administrative tasks you have to do. If the amount of customers is around 10-100 people, you find it easy to remember every piece of information like the email address, hobbies, behavior, and content of your conversation with them. If there are hundreds of customers you have to care about, it’s impossible to handle the giant information in a manual way. AI can automatically log customers’ email, company, and associated conversations, write emails, respond to proposal requests, and organize notes.

Supporting Customers is A Piece of Cake

Communicating with customers is much easier than before due to the auto chatbot. But for B2B businesses that mostly communicate with customers through email, the application of AI to email is very limited. Because most current email tools only get customers’ general information. By layering on generative AI, the models can produce better recommendations. One example would be considering customer sentiments gleaned from the nuances of language and subtle signals of customer interest or distrust — in emails, conversations with salespeople, posts on social media sites, and more. Further, the salesperson can collaborate with the system to improve recommendations in real time. For example, after receiving a suggestion to approach a customer with a new offering, the salesperson can dig deeper — both vertically into the customer’s own needs and horizontally to find other customers who might benefit from the same offering. An interactive, conversational user interface makes the application easy to use. In a truly collaborative seller-buyer environment, even the buyer can be part of the dialog.

Assisting Learning and Reading Business Reports

According to the investigation, learning and reading business reports and business analysis from salespeople makes sales managers spend a lot of time and effort, sometimes ineffective in giving timely suggestions to salespeople. With generative AI, reporting systems can become even more powerful and forward-looking. Managers can pose questions to get insights for helping salespeople improve and for delivering more pointed and motivational coaching feedback. Sales planning tasks that took weeks can be performed in an hour, as managers dialog with the system to discover opportunities, formulate key account strategies, and determine how to allocate effort to geographies, customers, products, and activities.

Can Generative AI Replace Salespeople?

With the above AI support for salespeople, we expect salespeople’s productivity to increase by 200%. However, of course, researching and perfecting AI will be a long journey, for new services that have never appeared or for difficult cases, businesses will still need an elite sales team who can identify perceived and latent. needs, tailor solutions, and navigate complex buying organizations.
