And I think we can do both." Mike on AI for prospecting calls"That's a really great way to think about AI, it's not how do we replace you?

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.

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."

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."

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.

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.

HIGHLIGHTSWhat is intent and how does LeadSift leverage it?Where AI plays a role in the processPrivacy concerns in the use of AI in B2B The concept of GPT-3QUOTESTukan: “Buyers are showing these signals of interest even before coming to me and filling out a form, so we need to get ahead of the game and predict when they start showing intent so that we can reach out to them with our sales and marketing message."Tukan: “LeadSift would look at a whole bunch of different sources, or any intent provider would do that, and give you a ranked list of companies that they think are in-market to buy. 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.

He also shares how he got into hot air ballooning and how it shaped his current approach to business. Finally, Eliav discusses how third-party organizations work with governments and top AI systems to make sure that AI sticks to what it's supposed to do.HIGHLIGHTSFirst experience with hot air ballooningThe idea of "intent decay"Setting up a chatbotWhy chatbots don't really need to answer every questionMaking sure AI systems don't make decisions on their ownQUOTESEliav: “If you're a marketer and you're reading an article about something, typically the content that's been created is specifically for your use case. 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/ The AI for Sales Podcast is brought to you by BDR.ai, Nooks.ai, and ZoomInfo—the go-to-market intelligence platform that accelerates revenue growth.Skip the forms and website hunting—Chad will connect you directly with the right person at any of these companies.👉 Visit www.SDR.ai/intro to unlock your direct line.

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.
