AI is so rational and that's the problem right there of why it can't be replacing a human, so to speak." Learn more about Ryan and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-house-469662a4/Email: [email protected]: https://programmers.io/

Focus on the business, the business process, and the business outcome. Look for those places where you have friction points in your information movement. Where, if you have that right information, can you speed up all those downstream processes?"Seth: "What it does is that it gives you a greater ability to locate exactly what you need. And that, of course, is based on information architecture. There's no artificial intelligence without information architecture."Seth: "They come armed, they're knowledgeable, and they understand what they need. It's not like the old days when the salesperson was the gatekeeper of knowledge and information. Customers want to have that control, they need to be able to get that information from their website and from other sources." Learn more about Seth and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethearley/Website: https://www.earley.com/ Book: The AI-Powered Enterprise

We use all these levels because it's so easy to add we kind of use it to boost up our own product."Oscar: "With Nyckel it's less of a problem because we train, what we call, narrow AI specifically on your data. So we use pre-trained models but we tailor them to your data. You can always make sure that the data you're providing is consistent with your product and ethics."Oscar: "It's more about making sales representatives more efficient. It could also be like identifying patterns in what companies to reach out to. So you have a database of ten thousand companies you could potentially try. Now you could use an AI to identify which of the remaining are promising that are similar to the ones that already replied." Learn more about Oscar and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oscar-beijbom-696aa6/Website: https://www.nyckel.com/

But I want the freedom to do that because salespeople, by nature, like to be autonomous. And so let them be, don't make them sit at a desk with some earphones dealing with that CRM or whatever it is." Sammy: "This gets the attention of the salesperson. Without their attention, you would have nothing cause they're the ones who have to call a lead. And so we make it very easy."Sammy: "That's why they were hired. They were hired for their persuasiveness and their ability to listen and have great sales conversations and they were not hired for other things. I want to take those other things off their plate." Learn more about Sammy and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sammyjames/Website: https://www.speak2leads.com/

Let them choose, like in a Google Maps kind of way, the variables they really care about."Jonathan: "The opportunity of AI is to see more really good patterns early. In our case, it's seeing who's a good person to purchase before they even know to show intent yet.

If you're going to be an employer or you're going to be a startup founder, both are going to be hard if you're going if you want to do it well. Choosing the hard way is a tough choice but also proud because I want to help people with what I'm doing."Rodrigo: “We analyze those conversations and figure out what the agents are doing or what they're not doing correctly in those interactions. But most important is that where we're doing with our solution right now, our goal is to be the first real-time solution for the Spanish language, with guidance and automated coaching workflows for agents as well."Rodrigo: “When you talk about only sales, it's a pretty competitive market. But the market is so big that you see many solutions that are, in their own way, different. So it makes a lot of sense for different types of the sales process, for example, lead qualification, lead scoring, revenue, and lead nurturing. So you have a lot of solutions that could help you do a better job as a sales rep." Learn more about Rodrigo and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigo-xavier-witt-abad/Website: https://www.innvox.com/

Now, as the seller, you take that data and then you craft your message to reach out to them at the right time."Tukan: “That's the beauty of it. You train a system and the system will statistically label data and it will say, 'hey, based on what you're telling me, this is what the trend looks like' and this is just for one of the trends. But yeah, without AI, we don't exist." Learn more about Tukan and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tapajyotidas/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tdasWebsite: https://leadsift.com/

They're putting it on that site knowing your use case, who the audience is, and that's why you're interested.”Eliav: “When people ask those questions, no live person should be answering those. That's the value of a good chatbot. Now, for B2C that's what it should do. But for B2B it should be 'does it integrate with this?' If you can answer that question, there's no reason to have a live person because it should understand the intent and go to book a meeting.”Eliav: “You're going to get a bunch of random questions and you probably should have an AI that answers those questions. The more niche that article is, when you're talking about whether it's a piece of sponsored content or it's an earned media article, being able to chat on that and ask those two or three qualifying questions makes it then worth it.” Learn more about Eliav and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliav-cohen-5643795/Website: https://thebotlab.io/

So we use it for aggregating data from a whole variety of sources, structuring that data, and loading it into databases. So we probably have about 30% savings in our operational costs when we adopted the technology."Andrew: "If you were given a choice to work for a company that is deploying AI and automation throughout its operations to one that wasn't, I definitely would want to be when they are because they're going to be conducting business better, faster, and cheaper.”Andrew: "People are starting to really focus on employees not just as a cost to the company but as an asset that needs to be preserved, nurtured, and built.

So whether there are cheaper resources that can acquire this information and make informed decisions, that's the basis. So, what we're doing is buying back sellers' time."Jamie: "You're most expensive resources are sales professionals. You need to maximize their return on effort or their yield. And if you're not applying technology and AI to help aid that, then you're deploying really expensive resources in an inefficient way."Learn more about Jamie and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamestshanks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamietshanksPipeline Signals Website: http://www.pipelinesignals.com/Sales for Life Website: https://salesforlife.com/

I teach my sales folks to be, effectively, the person you meet at the bar who you make a good connection with and who happens to know the person who can solve your problem."Seamus: "There's a knowledge gap with the value that artificial intelligence and machine learning can have for businesses that are anything other than technology."Learn more about Seamus and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamusruizearle/Company Website: https://carabinergroup.com/
