Whether you want them to or not, whether it’s even right or not, people are asking large language models questions about your business.
And you have no visibility into this. “Hey ChatGPT, compare pricing Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho CRM for a company of 50 employees and annual revenue of about $50 million per year. Assume 10 users, and give me pricing per user.”
The shortlist has been made. Did you know you were on it? Did you know you weren’t on it?
What do you do when, as Andy Crestodina pointed out recently, search moves into AI because AI delivers a better user experience?
“But it’s factually wrong!” The user doesn’t care. The state of politics alone should tell us that facts are less and less relevant to people’s decisions. And the shortlist that used to take the junior person on the team 8 hours to build can be built in 5 minutes with generative AI. Which route will that junior person take – 8 hours of mind-numbing labor, or 5 minutes?
So how do you prepare for this future? Speed and presence. Jay Baer talks about speed. You HAVE to be the first to respond, especially in a world where AI responds for you a good amount of the time. And you have to be everywhere all the time, because the very largest, most capable AI models tend to train on quantity more than quality.
The world of buying is changing. Sales is changing. And AI is the silent buyer assistant that more people are using. Do your best to have it help you instead of hinder you.
