To stay competitive, you need to provide your customers with memorable experiences. What was once considered “good enough” isn’t anymore.
According to Forrester, 72% of businesses say improving the customer experience is their top priority 1, and many are reworking their approach. But to land that sale with today’s customer, you have to focus on the customer, not the sale itself. What’s more, 75% of customers expect a consistent experience, whether they engage with a sales representative in person or via social media. 2 As long as they have the right tools, sales teams can deliver.
To meet customers at any and every touch point, a sales team needs support. Reps alone can’t cover every base. That's why sales teams increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to answer emails, research prospects, and determine a client's needs. Over the next three years, you can expect the following increases in sales tech usage: 3
- 139%: AI recommending products to customers based on their preferences
- 122%: Deep learning to classify, predict, and react to purchase patterns
- 118%: Predictive intelligence (e.g., lead scoring, forecasting, etc.)
