I'm constantly amazed by the number of business owners I meet who are struggling to keep up with their workload or complaining that their team isn't as productive as they should be.
My first question to them is always, "When was the last
time you explored new productivity tools, especially AI-powered ones?"
Shockingly, a recent poll of mine on LinkedIn showed that
over 50% of businesses haven't seriously investigated AI tools for
productivity. Many are still relying on the same old methods they've used for
years.
If you look at any top achiever in business, they're
constantly exploring new tools and techniques to be the best they can be. They
seldom look at the competition and only want to improve their 'personal best'.
Why should it be any different when it comes to
productivity? Why aren't more businesses training their people to use the
best tools available?
I remember when I started in business in the 1980s... We
were lucky if we had a computer on every desk. Now, we have AI assistants in
our pockets. The game has changed, and it's time for businesses to catch up.
UNDERSTANDING AI IN BUSINESS
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the world
of business has changed dramatically.
But there are great opportunities, and so many businesses
are doing better than ever before as they have grasped the opportunity and
pivoted.
Here are some of the changes that have made them successful…
AI in business is the new normal and what that means is:
A – Automating routine tasks
I – Improved data analysis
B – Boosting customer experiences
C – Communication enhancement
Are you leveraging AI in your business? Here are some ideas you can use in this new world:
Ø
Automate repetitive tasks to free up your team's
time for strategic work.
Ø
Use AI-powered analytics to gain deeper insights
from your data.
Ø
Implement AI chatbots for 24/7 personalized
customer service.
Enhance team communication with AI-powered collaboration tools.
Let me share some game-changing AI tools that can
supercharge your productivity:
Otter.ai - Imagine never having to take meeting notes
again. Otter transcribes your meetings in real-time, even identifying different
speakers. I've seen teams save hours each week just by implementing this tool.
Beautiful.ai - PowerPoint decks used to take me
hours. With Beautiful.ai, I can create stunning presentations in minutes. It
uses AI to suggest layouts and designs, making everyone on your team a
presentation pro.
Fathom - This AI tool is like having a personal
assistant for every video call. It takes notes, captures action items, and even
provides a summary after the call. I've seen teams cut their meeting times in
half by using Fathom effectively.
ChatGPT - This is the Swiss Army knife of AI tools.
From drafting emails to brainstorming ideas, ChatGPT can handle it all. I've
watched sales teams use it to craft personalized outreach messages in record
time.
Tutorai.me - Training new team members used to be a
huge time sink. Tutorai.me uses AI to create step-by-step tutorials for any
process. It's like cloning your best trainer and making them available 24/7.
Now, you might be thinking, "Frank, this all sounds
great, but how do I actually implement these tools in my business?"
That's where I come in. I've achieved the highest level in
sales and was recognized among the top half percent of salespeople worldwide.
This led me to a career speaking at conferences on sales, marketing, and now,
productivity.
I've made it my mission to stay on top of the latest AI
tools and techniques, just like I used to devour every sales program by Zig
Ziglar and Tony Robbins.
Remember the CASH formula I teach sales teams? Well,
here's how it applies to AI productivity:
C – Comprehension: Understand what AI tools are
available and how they can benefit your business.
A – Attitude: Be open to new technologies and ways of
working.
S – Skills: Learn how to use these AI tools
effectively.
H – Habits: Incorporate these tools into your daily
workflow.
