Challenges of sales meetings today

As a salesperson, there’s a lot on your plate when it comes to meetings.

First, you’ll need to dig into the prospect’s business. Maybe you’re sifting through previous conversations. Or, you’re searching through interviews, press releases, and social posts to gather background information. All of that can take hours out of your day, and you probably have a long list of other prospects waiting for you!

Things don’t get any easier during the meeting though.

When you’re busy scrawling down notes, you’re probably missing important emotional cues or even key insights into the prospect’s business model or internal hierarchy.  

Plus, can you really connect when you’re busy tapping away at your keyboards?

Then after the conversation, you’re probably left with a handful of bullet points that may or may not make sense later. Did you note down the correct figures? Did you remember to ask them what solutions they were already using? What about their key decision-makers? 

One meeting can take a whole lot of work indeed!

How conversational intelligence can solve these problems

So, how does conversational intelligence transform this frustrating procedure into a smooth and streamlined operation?

Here, you’ll discover how AI simplifies sales meetings, giving you the bandwidth to concentrate on the prospect in front of you.
