How will your Sales and Marketing team respond to buyers using AI?
There is a lot of chatter about using AI:
๐ To do things faster
๐ Mine customer data
๐ Create personalized sales scripts
๐ Automate social media posts
๐ Create content at scale
And that is fine if cost cutting and efficiency is your goal.
But if your goal is new sales, then you need to think about:
๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ?
There are two key concepts to understand about buyers and how they use ChatGPT:

โก๏ธ Discover potential vendors who can solve their problems.

The proper counter-response is to make sure that your website:
โ
Answers sales questions that the buyers ask ChatGPT
โ
Describes the outcomes / benefits of your products and services
โ
Is designed not just for humans, but for AI bots
AI is rapidly changing the way buyers find solutions and determine which vendors to call.
If you are not answering buyers questions on your website, then you are losing leads and sales.
In the words of my friend Amy Silberman's grandfather:
