Think about all the boring repetitive things you do every day that take up your time. You can set up automatic systems to handle things like processing invoices keeping track of your stock or even answering customer questions. You can do this with apps like Zapier and HubSpot.
Zapier for instance connects your apps and does things for you without you having to write any code. Zapier can automatically send a message to one of your salespeople on Slack to say "Well done!" if they close a deal on Salesforce. Simple but it works. HubSpot does a great job of bringing your marketing efforts together and making it easier for you to reach customers. This lets your team do what they do best plan and build relationships.
Customer service and satisfaction are always important but they don't have to cost you a lot of time and money. Think about having a tool like Intercom that answers customer questions at first and then sends a person when needed.
Not only are these kinds of AI customer service quick but they're also smart. A chatbot can quickly answer common questions and it gets smarter every day as people talk to it. A bot can help a customer learn about your business hours or ask for a service which frees up your team to work on more difficult requests.
Marketing can take up a lot of time and money. But you can save a lot of time with the right automation tools. Imagine being able to send targeted emails automatically with tools like Mailchimp. These tools can change the way you talk to people depending on what they like and how they act.
Do you have a new line of things to sell? An automated campaign can send the right message to the right people in each group of people you want to reach. It also keeps track of how many people are interested so you can see what works and what doesn't. Think about how much time you could save and how much interest you could spark.
A lot of companies have trouble handling data. It has a lot of data is hard to understand and is always hard to figure out. Automation comes into play again. You can use tools like Tableau to make your raw data into stories that you can see.
You can use a graph or chart to help you make decisions based on facts instead of feelings. Automated analytics can help companies make smart choices by showing them trends in things like how customers act and how much money they will make in the future.
Lastly think about automating how you manage your employees. We're talking about using technology to keep track of deadlines and schedules so you don't miss them. Using tools like Asana can help you keep everyone on the same page without having to send a million emails.
Also businesses don't always think about how their workers feel about their jobs. Automated feedback systems can help you figure out which parts of your business are doing well and which ones aren't.
