Good AI sales primerThis book has a very good mix of theory and practical examples of tools and prompts。 Very detailed section on using AI for writing。

The whole of sales realities gets improved by AI， but only if you know how。 I got to know sales axioms as well as priceless AI prompts， ideas and possibilities， and not only for closing sales。Prospecting， presentations， closing。。。 Each part is enhanced by AI and carefully covered by masters of the sales trade。

I enjoyed The AI Edge and Jeb Blount！ If you're in Sales and care to remain relevant， you must read this book and change your systems and processes - now！Below are my most memorable nuggets that may inspire you to read this。 I recommend this read！We must lean into being human。 We must get fundamentally better at doing the things that only humans can do。 We must leverage AI as a tool to enhance our human advantage and give us more time to do those things that we do best。As AI integrates more into I enjoyed The AI Edge and Jeb Blount！ If you're in Sales and care to remain relevant， you must read this book and change your systems and processes - now！Below are my most memorable nuggets that may inspire you to read this。 I recommend this read！We must lean into being human。 We must get fundamentally better at doing the things that only humans can do。 We must leverage AI as a tool to enhance our human advantage and give us more time to do those things that we do best。As AI integrates more into human life， it will amplify our potential in sales by streamlining tasks like content creation， prospecting， and sales forecasting。 Salespeople will use AI to focus on building relationships and solving customer problems。 The role of the salesperson is not diminishing。 Instead， it’s evolving and becoming more important。 With AI handling data analysis， content creation， and strategy suggestions， salespeople can focus on what they do best: building genuine authentic relationships， trust， and developing creative solutions for customer problems。The Three A’sThe keys to plugging into AI to become an enhanced human—faster， better， smarter—are the three A’s:1。 Adopt: Commit to becoming an early adopter of new， cutting-edge technology， and leverage it to achieve a game-changing， competitive edge。2。 Adapt: Adapt new technology to your unique sales process。 Avoid seeing AI as a one-size-fits-all solution。 Most importantly， leverage artificial intelligence in your sales day to gain more time for focusing on high-value human interactions and strategies。3。 Adept: Rapidly assimilate AI into your sales motions， blend it into your sales process—even when it feels uncomfortable—and then use it， practice it， experiment with it until you become adept at it。The Four Elements of Sales IntelligenceSuccess in sales requires a balance of technology acumen （TQ）， intelligence （IQ）， knowledge （AQ）， and emotional intelligence （EQ）。 High-TQ sellers thrive by using AI to free up time for relationship-building。The foundations of Me Management:Adopting a CEO mindsetRuthless prioritizationPlanning and calendar managementTerritory mappingAttention controlTime blockingThe First 7 Steps on Your AI Edge Journey1。 Conduct a Time Investment Audit to gain a clear understanding of what you are doing now。2。 Make a comprehensive list of the activities only you can do and which activities you should delegate to AI （or someone else）。3。 Brainstorm all of the possibilities for how AI might put time back into your sales day。4。 Research and test AI tools and platforms。5。 Prioritize where and how you hand activities off to AI and integrate it into your sales process， planning， calendar management， and sales day。6。 Implement AI using the 3 A’s: Adopt， Adapt， Adept。7。 Continue to repeat and refine this process until you’ve optimized your sales time for leveraging your human advantage。Prompt EngineeringThe goal of prompt engineering is to write prompts that are clear， concise， and produce the information you seek on the first try。Build a Sales Prompt LibraryWhat you want to avoid doing is reinventing the wheel each time you need something from AI。 That will cost you a lot of time。 Instead， when you find a prompt that works for you， add it to your prompt library to make it easy to reference when you need it in the future。The Future of List Building: Right Prospect Plus Right TimeImagine how things would change for you if， as you started your sales day， your company’s sales AI handed you a targeted list of highly qualified prospects that are in the buying window。Define Your ICPThe first step toward more effective qualifying is developing an ideal customer profile （ICP）。 AI can quickly analyze your database for patterns and commonalities among your best customers， uncover the stakeholder roles most likely to be involved in decision-making based on past sales data， analyze the deals you are closing， and gain a deeper understanding of trigger events that opened those buying windows。The easiest way to sell more is to spend 100% of your time talking with prospects who are in open buying windows and ready to buy。 AI is already making this possible by analyzing and scoring leads based on intent data。Show Me You Know Me - Remember a simple but powerful premise: people make decisions based on emotion first， and then justify with logic。 Focus on specific problems they are facing and bridge to how you can help them。Everything in Sales Begins with a Qualified OpportunityEffective qualifying requires a systematic and methodical focus on turning the unknowns into the known。 AI is particularly effective at gathering factual information to help you qualify and target the right prospects before you put them into your pipeline。 Qualification is a combination of both data and human intuition。 You must consider factual evidence and listen to your gut instinct when assessing the viability of an opportunity。The Art of DiscoveryDiscovery is the most important step in the sales process。 The art of discovery is a uniquely human endeavor。 It requires intention， strategy， and planning。 You must ask open-ended questions， demonstrate sincere interest， use your empathy， and listen。 AI cannot do this job for you。AI-Powered ProposalsThose who harness the full power of AI to streamline and elevate their proposal game gain a powerful sales edge。 Advanced AI models and platforms are rapidly transforming proposals from dry， lifeless documents into dynamic， multimedia storytelling experiences。 In the near future， your CRM will harness AI to fully automate and streamline every stage of the proposal creation workflow。Closing the Sale & Sales TrainingAI simulation enables salespeople to get realistic， risk-free practice for high-stakes situations like closing the deal。Case Studies and Social ProofAI can help you build persuasive， personalized case studies for sales proposals。 。。。more

What I like most about this book is the simplicity of explaining ai is your robot and you need to train your robot what to do and help you do it！Great read can’t wait till the next edition。

It’s hard to miss this author whenever you’re looking for a book about sales。 After seeing so many of his books on Amazon， I finally gave in and read one of them a few years ago。 After a few dozen pages， I realized I was wasting my time and gave up on it。 Now that I’m studying AI and ChatGPT， of course this guy also has a book on the subject。 Maybe I had misjudged his wisdom and experience the last time， I thought， so I picked up this book。 Turns out I didn’t misjudge him the first time。 He says It’s hard to miss this author whenever you’re looking for a book about sales。 After seeing so many of his books on Amazon， I finally gave in and read one of them a few years ago。 After a few dozen pages， I realized I was wasting my time and gave up on it。 Now that I’m studying AI and ChatGPT， of course this guy also has a book on the subject。 Maybe I had misjudged his wisdom and experience the last time， I thought， so I picked up this book。 Turns out I didn’t misjudge him the first time。 He says he’s a fan of short chapters。 Many， many short chapters。 In the end， this is unnecessarily long book。 First he goes on and on about history and philosophy。 He says he’s amazed at that ChatGPT can create a story。 He even adds a long and boring poem created by ChatGPT in its entirety！ “Just for fun， here is what AI produced。” Ain’t nobody got time for this。 One chapter is all about improving your grammar， punctuation， spelling， and general writing ability。 Like some kind of wannabe Elements of Style。 He has offensively unfunny jokes too。 Look at this for example: “Most salespeople wouldn't know good grammar and sentence structure if it walked up to them wearing a unicorn costume and hit them in the face with a two-by-four。”And this: “You may need to change out words [from ChatGPT] that you would never use—unless， of course， you are writing for your English literature professor。 （In this case， for fun， you might ask AI to ‘write in the style of Shakespeare。’）” Jeezus Christ！ The guy deserves a tomato for this。 As far as I can tell， this author’s popular only because he’s created authority for himself by publishing often。 If he teaches you anything， this is it。 Publish often on the subjects you want to be considered an expert in and use it to gain clients and customers。 。。。more
