Supercharge Yourself with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t here to replace humans, but pairing with AI is the future. Integrating AI with business intelligence (BI) is essential, especially with the power of LLMs that can transform how we analyze and act on data. AI + BI frees teams from chasing data gaps and handling tedious tasks, letting them focus on strategy. By supercharging strengths, the combination unburdens people from work that slows them down.

Many companies remain stuck in siloed systems or rely on generalist AI that misses business-specific nuances, creating inefficiencies. AI + BI offers a different path: offering insights that help leaders make quicker, more informed decisions.

For frontline sales managers, the advice is simple: lean into AI + BI. Use it to streamline your work, eliminate what’s draining, and amplify what’s impactful. AI won’t replace you, but it can turn you into a more powerful version of yourself.

Adopting AI isn’t just an opportunity; it’s a survival strategy. Here’s how AI + BI can help sales teams right now:

  • Still relying on legacy tools for outdated graphs? Use AI for real-time insights.
  • Hearing anecdotal claims about performance or trends? Use AI to ground decisions in facts within minutes.
  • Have a business question at 2:00 a.m.? AI delivers instant answers about the business anytime, anywhere.
  • Spending hours updating spreadsheets or building QBR slides? AI can handle it.
  • Looking for career feedback that drives growth? AI can pull the data that matter most.

Managers should be able to ask AI deeper, specific questions, like, “What needs to happen in this opportunity to close the deal?” and get actionable, next-step guidance. With AI delivering clear insights on key deals, leaders can shift their focus from analyzing data to driving strategy. This allows real-time decision-making and more effective support for their teams, ultimately leading to better outcomes.
