Interest in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased in recent years and reached not only people but also organizations. In 2024, 72% of companies worldwide have already adopted this technology, a significant advance compared to 55% in 2023. The information is from a survey conducted by McKinsey & Company, a global consulting and management firm.
But it is not only companies that are benefiting from the technology, which goes far beyond the well-known Chat GPT. Those who work with sales have already realized that AI can be very useful, for example, to organize routines and thus enhance the efficiency of their activities. In addition, it is a way for professionals to remain competitive and updated with the market.
This is the evaluation of the president of the regional Council of Parana's commercial representatives (CORE-PR), Paulo Nauiack, who highlights how AI is already present and positively influencing the sector.“O commercial representative is already using artificial intelligence. An example is scripting, an essential process for organizing the daily work of these professionals. To make your script, when you use the application, be the application that is Maps, Waze, is using the artificial intelligence”.
According to Nauiack, the key to maximizing the benefits of AI lies in familiarity and constancy of use. “Enjoy! Use, play, make this intelligence more friendly to you, make it routine. As you use AI, whatever it is, gaining greater confidence, it will start giving you better answers and you will be more efficient.”
The president of CORE-PR points out that AI does not replace the commercial representative, but rather complements your skills. “You will not be replaced by AI, you will be replaced by someone who, like you, knows how to use artificial intelligence.” It emphasizes that the effectiveness of AI is directly linked to the quality and quantity of information provided. “A AI will give us answers as we feed it, so the better the flow of information and knowledge, the constancy of data it can offer to your artificial intelligence, the better the answers will be.”
Nauiack notes that the use of AI is already a reality in companies and among customers, being a competitive differential to understand and anticipate these practices. “A company you represent already uses AI to map market, have interaction with its competitors, to understand what is being done. Similarly, your customer also uses, so anticipate, use, seek to know what he is doing, what he is using, how he is using, and this will make your life easier.”
