Although it has the potential to transform sales, it will face several hurdles before it can become mainstream. That\u2019s why Salesforce recently published five guidelines for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/generative-ai-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\">trusted generative AI development<\/a>, and explained the potential for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/building-generative-ai-we-can-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\">generative AI in enterprise tech<\/a> \u2014 and how to balance this transformative tech with the reality and risks.<br><br>Here are three ways that generative AI could empower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/small-business\/sales\/smb-sales-guide\/\">SMB sales<\/a> teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Generative AI could give every sales rep a virtual assistant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI will automate more time-intensive sales tasks like composing emails, scheduling meetings, and preparing notes for the next interaction. By using generative AI to summarise past customer interactions, sales teams will be better informed for important conversations and will be able to identify and close upsell opportunities without jeopardizing customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. It could replace web-to-lead forms with personalised engagements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI can produce fast, personalised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/products\/sales-engagement-platform\/\">customer communications <\/a>based on historical data and customer interactions. The technology could also help you qualify leads and answer common customer questions more quickly. This customer-centric shift will help SMBs deepen existing relationships and fuel new customer acquisitions through frictionless buying experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. It could automate the prospecting process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI can help boost pipeline growth by crafting personalised emails to engage with the most promising prospects. When combined with predictive modeling that can forecast customer behaviour \u2014 such as which products customers are likely to purchase \u2014 generative AI can transform prospecting efforts from tedious and time-consuming to optimised and autonomous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another step forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/products\/sales-cloud\/features\/sales-cloud-einstein\/\">Sales Cloud Einstein<\/a> launched in 2016 with AI capabilities to help all companies \u2014 but especially SMBs with fewer resources \u2014 focus on their most promising leads and automate time-consuming sales tasks like data entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce has continued to evolve the technology, and today, Einstein generates nearly 200 billion predictions each day. This, paired with simple data management in a single CRM makes it possible for SMBs to stay ahead of the latest trends and scale quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-four wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">Hot off the press: the freshest trends in generative AI for sales<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">Discover how 1,000+ sellers are using generative AI at work, and learn the areas of focus for closing the trust gap that remains.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/form\/pdf\/trends-in-generative-ai-report\/?d=7013y000001zpWlAAI&#038;nc=7013y000002aPWZAA2&#038;FALSEBlog-TrendsinGenAI&#038;utm_source=Blog&#038;FALSE&#038;utm_campaign=ANZ-Sales-TrendsinGenAI&#038;utm_content=All-cont-7013y000001zpWlAAI\">Get the report<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__media\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp 912w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp?w=667&amp;h=500 667w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp?w=768&amp;h=576 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp?w=150&amp;h=113 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" data-attachment-id=\"62094\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/smb-automation-benefits-of-generative-ai\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp\" data-orig-size=\"912,684\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2023-09-20_17-02-42-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp?w=667\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/2023-09-20_17-02-42-1.webp?w=912\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Standard Illustration -->\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__illustration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-illustration-layout-four.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t<!-- Small Accent Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__accent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-accent-layout-four.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Left Side Illustration -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Cloud Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-cloud-layout-four.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How will this emerging technology empower sales teams in small- and medium-sized businesses?
