Blog_Bringing Gen AI to Life in the Customer Journey 4 Key Use Cases

The B2B space is witnessing a transformative shift with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Generative AI, with its focus on customer experience, productivity, and growth, is redefining the face of sales and marketing.

The influence and reach of AI and Machine Learning (ML) in marketing and sales are expanding. The emergence of generative AI has seen the introduction of open-source platforms into the sales and marketing arena, coupled with an upswing in generative AI-focused investments from sales and marketing technology specialists. In the context of a rapidly evolving, digital-centric business environment, these technologies are no longer optional, but integral.

AI, backed by changing consumer sentiment and continuous technological advancements, is on the verge of revolutionising marketing and sales across all sectors.

Inevitably, this will impact how you operate—and how you connect with and serve your customers. In fact, it’s probably already doing so. Forward-thinking leaders are considering how to adjust to this new landscape.

 This blog dives into AI, bringing to light four use cases that every sales and marketing leader needs in their strategic arsenal to drive growth and confidently hit those revenue milestones.

1. Advanced Contact Identification through Precision Targeting: 

The advent of gen AI has taken the traditional AI-driven lead identification and targeting process – which relied on web scraping and basic prioritisation – up a notch. Gen AI utilises sophisticated algorithms to discern patterns in customer behaviour and market data, aiding in accurate audience segmentation and targeting. Reflecting on an industry statistic, 63% of marketers believe that generating traffic and leads is their top challenge. By harnessing the power of gen AI, businesses can efficiently analyse and pinpoint higher quality leads, resulting in bespoke and highly effective lead-activation campaigns.

Consider, for instance, Zymplify, This platform employs intelligent algorithms coupled with data analytics to identify potential buyers who are not only in line with your target persona but are also ready for your offerings. This allows you to focus on prospects with proven intent, optimising conversion rates, and ensuring maximum value from your marketing budget.

The impact of this approach becomes evident when you consider that acquiring a new customer can cost five times more than retaining an existing one, according to data from Invesp. Through AI, you’re not just identifying potential customers; you’re identifying the right ones. This precision targeting optimises conversion rates and enhances the cost-effectiveness of your marketing efforts. By helping you focus on high-intent prospects, AI enables you to maximise the return on your marketing investment, making every pound invested count. This is the future of demand generation – more targeted, more efficient, and decidedly more successful.

2. Content Creation and Curation, At Scale:

Demand Gen, ABM, Sales Outreach and most relevant RevOps go-to-market activities require a robust content development schedule, especially in the B2B space.

When you’re a team of one or just a handful of marketing and sales people trying to churn it out at a high pace and make it relevant – you either need a massive budget for contractors or internal subject matter experts with loads of free time and top notch writing skills.

With gen AI you can deliver first draft full-length articles, ads, landing page copy, or whitepapers, etc. in minutes. Give it a proofread and make any necessary edits and you’ve got a full quarter’s worth of personalised content to span the buyer journey in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Plus you could massively cut down on your team’s time spent researching and writing, or slash your outsourcing budget and spend more time on high value tasks.

According to Salesforce, 20% of brands will use AI to curate and generate content by 2024. With Zymplify’s ChatGPT integration you can deliver first draft full-length articles, ads, landing page copy, or whitepapers, etc. in minutes.

Additionally, gen AI can optimise marketing strategies through A/B testing of various elements such as page layouts, ad copy, and SEO strategies, leveraging predictive analytics and data-driven recommendations to ensure maximum return on investment. These actions can continue through the customer journey, with gen AI automating lead-nurturing campaigns based on evolving customer patterns.

3. AI Driven Sales Outreach:

Within the sales motion, gen AI goes beyond initial sales-team engagement, providing continuous critical support throughout the entire sales process, from proposal to deal closure.  With its ability to analyse customer behaviour, preferences, and demographics, gen AI can generate personalised content and messaging. 

From the beginning, it can assist with hyper-personalised follow-up emails at scale and contextual chatbot support. It can also act as a 24/7 virtual assistant for each team member, offering tailored recommendations, reminders, and feedback, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates.

It’s here that Zymplify can make a significant impact. It enables you to map strategic outreach for your sales team and ramp up new team members faster. For example, you can use the inbuilt sales cadences to define the steps your team takes to close more deals and empower every sales person to work faster using automation. Plus, with the power of gen AI you can streamline sales outreach creation, distribution, and management. Leverage their ChatGPT integration to create dynamic and customised sales cadences containing emails, phone scripts, and LinkedIn messages,  in seconds.  All tailored to your product or service and target persona.

4. Enhanced Customer Onboarding and Retention:

There are many gen AI use cases after the customer signs on the dotted line, including onboarding and retention. When a new customer joins, gen AI can provide a warm welcome with personalised training content, highlighting relevant best practices. A chatbot functionality can provide immediate answers to customer questions and enhance training materials for future customers.  

Gen AI can also offer sales leadership with real-time next-step recommendations and continuous churn modelling based on usage trends and customer behaviour. Additionally, dynamic and automated  customer-journey mapping can be utilised to identify critical touchpoints and drive customer engagement.

Statistics illustrate the significance of these strategies, with the Harvard Business Review noting that increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95%.

Enter Zymplify. This platform utilises automation and gen AI capabilities to not only streamline the onboarding process but also implement proactive retention strategies. Its ability to automate customer journey mapping ensures no critical touchpoint is missed, enhancing customer engagement and, ultimately, loyalty.
