AI to gain nothing financially , but simply wants to educate the industry on their sincere perspective . You ’ ll find that the result will be a lot more engaging than the standard ChatGPT article . Of course , it will still need some tweaking and additional prompts .
Strategy generation As a strategy generation tool , ChatGPT can be incredibly useful . If you are planning a sales strategy to meet a target , ask ChatGPT . It will tell you what the best AI-powered sales platforms are to expand your reach and automate your messaging . For the team here at CN , for example , it told us about the Apollo AI tool , which we ’ ve found extremely useful in building a contact database beyond our existing network .
It ’ s best to corroborate this information by doing some of your own research . Reddit is particularly useful for this , as there are communities ( Subreddits ) dedicated to the B2B sector . It was after confirmation of Apollo AI ’ s usefulness from many sources on Reddit that we decided to actually install and use the ( free trial ) software .
The same method could be applied to marketing strategies , operations , logistics – essentially every aspect of your business .
Research Research is perhaps the easiest component of work to integrate AI into . Perplexity is particularly strong for this , as it has real-time access to the web ( unlike ChatGPT ) and is generally better for finding sources and citations .
If you want to know the venues in a certain destination , find a new speaker , source market analysis or understand regulations and compliance , AI services like Perplexity should be your first port of call . n
