Learn practical ways to engage AI tools to enable smarter salesAbout this EventOVERVIEW:Ready or not, AI is here to stay!  AI will become the biggest business game-changer since the industrial assembly line, antibiotics, jet engines, or the internet. The evolution of artificial intelligence is accelerating, with new AI tools being created weekly. Business and sales professionals know they need AI, but most have no idea where to start. This workshop will give an understanding of AI, how it can save time, improve efficiency, and enhance customer service, while turbocharging sales growth through increasing face-to-face customer time.  This workshop is designed to introduce the audience to AI and how it applies to sales, CRM, lead generation and management, customer communications, sales analytics, and more. Attendees will learn about a stack of potential AI tools they can install and use to see sales impact within weeks, not months.  YOUR FACILITATOR:From closing $33 million in deals to building the world’s most high-tech university sales training labs, Dave Payne is a “sales champion” whisperer.

Now, through System 3 Performance Consulting, he uses AI, neuroscience, and AI Sales Tools to turbocharge pipelines that actually make sales fun again. Whether in the classroom or the boardroom, Dave is officially turning the "digital future" into a reality for the next generation of business professionals and sales closers.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f3d58df0-1c26-11f1-b26e-0b9773d2f47a-rimg-w571-h740-dc131212-gmir.jpg PARKING:Please ensure you are parking in the designated Bounce Parking areas, reference the "Bounce member, tenant and visitor parking" areas listed below.
