What is AI’s full potential in sales?

There are loads of use cases for sales AI. Research by Salesforce found that high-performing teams are 4.9 times more likely to be using AI than underperforming ones, and that’s no surprise.

Using AI for sales can help you do everything from predicting which prospects are most likely to close, to forecasting, to recommending the next best action to take—which removes a lot of guesswork. It can also help you coach reps at scale (I'll get into the specifics of this one in just a bit), optimise pricing, improve customer engagement and everything in between.

You can use AI tools that tell you how often your competitors are coming up on sales calls, and then there's Conversica, which is used to operate chatbots on websites. And, of course, our very own Team ai offers live coaching, automatic call logging, and more—all in a unified communications platform.

That doesn’t mean you don’t have to be smart about how you use AI for sales though. It’s not yet possible to automate every part of the sales process. AI can’t handle complex problem-solving and human relations yet, so it has to be combined with a personal touch.

1. Sentiment analysis

When a sales manager has a team of reps—and multiple active sales calls—to oversee, how can they do that effectively?

That’s where having communications or sales apps with a analysis features comes in. For example, Dialpad Ai not only transcribes calls in real time, but it can also track the sentiment of these calls. 

If a prospect says things like “I’m confused” or “I’m frustrated,” Dialpad can pick up on that and mark the call sentiment as negative. (And vice versa if the prospect is saying positive things like “I love that!”)

Armed with this insight, a sales leader can easily keep an eye on tens (or even hundreds) of active calls and quickly see which ones have negative sentiment. If they do spot any, they can click to open up the real-time transcripts, scan it quickly to get more context, and decide whether or not they need to jump in to rescue the call.

That’s the power of sentiment analysis.

 Predictive forecasting

Forecasting is tough.

Human sales leaders are pretty good at predicting sales numbers and setting goals, but AI can help them do this with greater accuracy. Advanced analytics, gathered automatically for optimal efficiency, show you the big picture before making a sales forecast.

From this, managers can make more informed business decisions. For example, tracking the busiest times in a call centre can help you with future staffing. Team ai dashboard gives you a great overview of how things are going.

5. Price optimisation

Finding the right pricing for each customer can be tricky, but it’s a lot simpler with AI. It uses algorithms to look at the details of past deals, then works out an optimal price for eachproposal—and communicates that to the salesperson.

Dynamic pricing tools use machine learning to gather data on competitors and can give recommendations based on this information and on the individual customer’s preferences.

7. Sales enablement

AI is ideal for sales enablement as it provides sales teams with extra resources to help them close deals and sell more products.

Lead generation

While there will always be a human element to generating leads, AI makes the task easier by helping reps reach out to targeted prospects. It also suggests responses during interactions, again using data to personalise and steer the conversation.

The process of qualifying leads, following up, and sustaining relationships is also time-consuming, but AI eliminates some of the legwork with automation and next-best action suggestions.

Prioritisation and lead scoring

Another task that eats into sales productivity is figuring out which leads to call first. Machine learning helps you spot patterns to determine which leads are most likely to convert, enabling more logical decision-making.

The algorithms will score leads and chances of closing by analysing customer profiles and previous interactions like email and social media posts.

Upselling and cross-selling

Instead of trying to upsell or cross-sell to every client, AI can help you identify who’s most likely to be receptive by looking at previous interactions and profiles for insight.

Team Ai also helps reps understand the sentiment of a call so that they can decide on the best opportunity to offer a complementary product. It’s a perfect example of humans and AI working together.

Expert insight and recommendation

Using AI is like having an in-house expert on hand to give tips and point you in the right direction—especially true of AI sales coaching. It can evaluate customer relationships and alert you to those that need attention. It also helps identify needs and potential solutions before a call.

Based on data (and company goals), AI works out which actions make the most sense and advises the sales team accordingly.
