One thing that AI lacks, which humans possess, is creativity. I'm not suggesting you stop using the technology because of this, but it's important to be aware of its limitations.

When you add your personal touch to AI-generated content, you can close more deals more effectively. Learn how in this episode with Dale Dupree, where he shares tips on incorporating creativity into AI-driven processes.

Is AI Preventing Society from Being Creative?

As you may notice, tools like ChatGPT and other AI platforms can often sound robotic. Dale discusses how AI lacks emotions and likely always will.
While researchers are working to infuse human emotions into AI, upon closer examination, this thinking proves to be flawed.
AI doesn’t understand emotions the way humans do. When it comes to tone, feeling, and triggering the brain to take action, a human touch is still necessary.

Have a Bigger Purpose Than Making Money

Yes, you entered the sales industry because you wanted to make money. But to get where you want to be, you have to work for it. You can’t always rely on AI to do your job for you.
While your goal is to make money, you also need a deeper purpose for why you’re doing what you do.
Strive to achieve great things and have a vision or sense of impact for your organization.
Why are you trying to sell your product to your buyers? How does it help them with their problems?
Answering these questions will help you stay motivated beyond just making money.

Improving the Buyer Experience with AI and Creativity

People in today’s society often dislike dealing with humans in customer service. This is usually because they feel the salesperson isn’t listening to their problems, is reading from a script, or simply doesn’t care about the buyer at all.
I shared an example of when I tried ordering a pizza, and the customer service representative was from Dubai. Due to AI, the service experience wasn’t great, which made me want to take my business elsewhere.
Keep this in mind when switching everything to AI. The human touch is essential to maintaining strong customer relationships and keeping customers loyal to your business.

Breaking the AI Reliance Trap

It’s hard not to over-rely on AI—it makes life so much easier. However, remember that sales is all about building and maintaining relationships.
Too much automation can create a disconnect between businesses and customers.
Learn how to use AI effectively without losing the human touch!

“We think we’re being more efficient with AI, but we really aren’t. It’s like UberEats—you pay for someone to bring the groceries to you so you don’t have to leave the house. However, it costs money to do this, and you’re spending the same amount, if not more, than if you had gone to the store yourself.” - Dale Dupree.
