A powerful AI use case is running automated agents on sales call transcripts. These agents can perform tasks like extracting and populating MEDPICC data into Salesforce or summarizing competitor mentions for battle cards, saving sales teams hours of manual work per week.
A company solved its sales team's information gap by treating 25,000 hours of recorded Gong calls as the ultimate source of truth. This existing internal data, previously ignored, became the foundation for a company-wide AI automation strategy that transformed their go-to-market operations.
The best initial use for AI in marketing operations is automating high-volume, low-complexity "digital janitor" tasks. Focus AI agents on answering repetitive questions (e.g., "Why didn't this lead qualify?") and cleaning data (e.g., event lists) to free up specialist time for more strategic work.
Upload call recordings or transcripts from tools like Gong or Fathom into an AI model. Ask specific questions like, 'Where was the most friction?' to identify disconnects you missed in the moment. Use this insight to craft hyper-relevant follow-ups that address the core misunderstanding.
A primary AI agent interacts with the customer. A secondary agent should then analyze the conversation transcripts to find patterns and uncover the true intent behind customer questions. This feedback loop provides deep insights that can be used to refine sales scripts, marketing messages, and the primary agent's programming.
To create resonant content, move beyond guessing customer problems. Analyze transcripts of past sales calls with an AI tool to identify recurring pain points, common questions, and the exact language your audience uses to describe their challenges.
Create a dedicated AI agent pre-loaded with your company's specific deal qualifiers (budget, timeline, ICP). Feed it discovery call notes, and it can instantly score the opportunity or flag it as disqualified, preventing reps from wasting time on deals that will never close.
Feed recordings of sales calls from lost deals into an AI for a post-mortem. The AI can act as an impartial sales coach, identifying what went wrong and what could be done better, providing instant, actionable feedback without needing a manager's time.
Go beyond the native summaries in conversation intelligence tools like Gong. Copy and paste the full transcript of a sales call into a generative AI like ChatGPT and ask for deeper insights, hidden objections, or recommended next steps. This cross-platform workflow can reveal nuances that a single tool might miss.
When developing AI capabilities, focus on creating agents that each perform one task exceptionally well, like call analysis or objection identification. These specialized agents can then be connected in a platform like Microsoft's Copilot Studio to create powerful, automated workflows.
Despite the focus on text interfaces, voice is the most effective entry point for AI into the enterprise. Because every company already has voice-based workflows (phone calls), AI voice agents can be inserted seamlessly to automate tasks. This use case is scaling faster than passive "scribe" tools.
