The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has caused a pretty significant shift in the world of sales. Whether you're using it or not, you've likely seen changes.
The question looms: How can AI revolutionize sales techniques, boost efficiency, and reshape the future without replacing us all?
HubSpot Community AMA (Ask Me Anything) - AI in Sales Hub
Sarah, a Product Marketer at HubSpot, opened up an ask me anything discussion in HubSpot Community recently. If you've ever had a question about artificial intelligence (AI) in Sales Hub, this thread is for you. In fact, two Impulse folks shared this in our #learnup channel. Strategist Stephen found it insightful, as did I, your editor.
A few highlights:
Creator consent - is it considered?
Is my portal's data safe?
Are there metrics to show how AI impacts conversion rates?
Learning to find harmony over balance. And how to stop backhanded "compliments."
At this Women in Sales Leadership event from HubSpot, your friendly newsletter editor was welcomed warmly. I decided to attend for two reasons. 1) To support my friend Amber, who is a great voice in the world. And 2) To listen and learn.
Whatever your gender identity, this discussion was full of insight, support, tips, and generally very helpful discussion. It spoke to me as a cisgender man, both as someone who works with women and also simply just as a human.
Is cold calling dead? Or do we still need to reach out to folks we think we can help, and introduce ourselves? In this episode of Revenue Builders, Leslie Venetz shares tactical tips from hundreds of thousands of cold calls, treating it like a craft.
