8 Ways ChatGPT, Google Bard and AI can Transform your Sales Process
In today's fast-paced world of business, it's more important than ever to have a sales process that is efficient and effective. With so many potential customers to reach and so little time to do it, sales teams are under constant pressure to perform.
One way to meet this challenge is by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Bard by Google which are trained to generate human-like text.
As Business Insider reports, ChatGPT attracted more than 1 million global users soon after its launch in November 2022.
This meant ChatGPT gained an early market lead over Bard who as Forbes mentions lost Google $100 Billion after it gave the wrong answer in a promotional advertisement when launching the product.
Although the technology is new, companies that understand the significance of AI and act on it first - will have a competitive advantage when increasing their product or service sales over rivals.
For example New York Times bestselling author and Digital Selling expert, Neil Patel recently held a ‘Navigating the Future of AI: ChatGPT, Bard and You’ YouTube webinar where he spoke about the 3 key reasons why you need AI which were:
1) Multiply Customer Connections
2) Grow your Expertise
3) Improve your Results
In this blog post, Sales Is Art will explore 8 key ways on how ChatGPT, Google Bard and AI can be used to transform your sales process and help you achieve your business goals.
1. Automating Repetitive Sales Tasks
ChatGPT, Bard, and AI can help salespeople to automate mundane admin tasks such as scheduling meetings, responding to frequently asked questions and capturing customer information for CRMs.
This frees up a lot more time for sales professionals to focus on more important tasks to speak to more customers and increase the volume of their deals.
2. Increase Lead Generation
The latest AI tools can be used to create website chatbots which can interact with potential consumers and clients.
This allows sales teams to collect information about them which helps to generate a new form of leads to grow product and service sales for their companies.
Research by McKinsey suggests that the sales industry is one of the biggest sectors that could benefit from the implementation of AI tools and solutions moving forward with a potential growth of up to $2.6 trillion.
3. Personalization
Online chat platforms such as ChatGPT and Bard can be used to create more personalized messages for customers and clients based on their previous interactions.
With its ability to understand context and generate human-like text, ChatGPT especially can create responses that are tailored to the specific needs and interests of each customer.
This helps to improve the customer experience (CX) with more effective and targeted communication which in turn should increase the chances of closing more sales as well as reduce the sales cycle.
These AI models can be fine-tuned to your specific business and industry while generating compelling copy that resonates with your target audience.
This can help you stand out from your competitors and attract more customers.
4. Sales Forecasting
Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze historical sales data and insights which can help sales managers and directors predict more accurate future sales trends with greater transparency.
This can help you and your sales department make more informed decisions and forecast sales with greater precision.
According to CFO Magazine, 91% of CFOs are concerned with hitting Sales Forecasts.
5. Product and Service Recommendations
Current AI chatbots and tools can be used to smartly recommend the most suitable products or services to B2B or B2C clients based on their past and recent purchases.
This means sales leaders can develop more strategic and scalable cross-selling strategies which is a great way of increasing customer loyalty and deepening client relationships.
This in turn improves customer lifetime value and retention.
6. Sales Training
The latest artificial intelligence platforms can be used to train sales teams on new products, sales techniques and other important topics which can improve overall performance metrics across a business.
Getting started with ChatGPT is easy.
OpenAI provides a variety of resources and tutorials that can help you understand how the model works and how your company can use it.
Additionally, there are AI solution providers who can help you implement ChatGPT into your business process.
With their expertise and experience, they can ensure that your sales department gets the most out of the technology.
7. Answering Customers Questions
Another way that Bard and ChatGPT can be used to transform your sales process is to provide quick and accurate automated answers to online customer questions and FAQs.
This ultimately improves customer trust and satisfaction as well increasing brand loyalty.
This allows sales reps to focus on more complex tasks such as closing deals and building relationships with customers.
8. Improving Customer Engagement
ChatGPT especially can be used to develop online chatbots that can interact with customers in a personalized and engaging way.
It may be particularly beneficial for businesses that receive a high volume of customer inquiries.
With its ability to automate repetitive tasks and generate personalized responses, ChatGPT especially can help these businesses save time and improve their customer relationships.
Conclusion
While ChatGPT and Bard are powerful tools, they are not capable of replacing human judgment and decision-making.
They should be used as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, human sales teams.
Additionally, these models may not always generate responses that are accurate or appropriate, so it's important to monitor their performances and make adjustments when needed.
The cost of using tools like ChatGPT in your sales process will depend on a variety of factors, such as the specific application and the level of customization required.
In conclusion, AI tools can help you transform your sales process and achieve your business goals more efficiently.
With their ability to automate repetitive tasks, generate personalized responses and create compelling marketing content, tools like ChatGPT can help you save time, improve customer relationships and increase sales.
