I\u2019ll focus on<b>\u00a0consulting services that don\u2019t inherently involve the use of (high-end) technology<\/b>. As for AI, the examples I\u2019ll bring up will mostly fit into one or both of the following two key AI categories: machine learning and natural language processing (NLP).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93f1b8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"93f1b8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"color: #421f3c; font-size: 24px;\">\u201cRating\u201d the different AI tools<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b2de9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b2de9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>For each tool, I will also give you an indication of the quality. Bear in mind that this is my personal point of view and that these tools evolve super fast nowadays. So, definitely don\u2019t just take my word for it, and also experiment with it yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also useful to note that\u00a0<b>AI is supposed to facilitate<\/b>\u00a0our work. Even if that means\u00a0<b>getting 80% or maybe just 50% of the job done<\/b>, that\u2019s quite good. Your own common sense, plus a bit of AI, can already imply a big step forward, so I suggest starting with that before trying to\u00a0<i>run\u00a0<\/i>with it. Don\u2019t take these ratings\u00a0<i>all\u00a0<\/i>too seriously.\u00a0<b>The key is to find the right way to apply the tool to\u00a0<\/b><b><i>your\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b>particular situation.<\/b>\u00a0<br \/><br \/>For each tool, I\u2019ll rate the following 3 categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ingenuity:<\/b>\u00a0How creative or well-thought-of is the application in solving a particular problem or challenge?\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>AI quality:\u00a0<\/b>How ample or relevant is the data the artificial intelligence is trained on to identify patterns?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>User experience:\u00a0<\/b>How easy or comfortable is it to use the tool?

Next, useful data are gathered and analyzed to develop a more profound understanding of the client\u2019s industry, competitors, and customers.

The\u00a0<b>collective knowledge of a consultancy team should be the leverage to produce better legal documents<\/b>\u00a0for clients. But in reality, when consultants in firms are creating contracts, for instance, they struggle to remain consistent with precedents or find clauses and other pieces of information.<br \/><br \/>Henchman is a legal tech tool that uses artificial intelligence to analyze contracts and extract key terms, clauses, and data points automatically. It\u2019s designed to <a href=\"https:\/\/lawrank.com\/best-ai-tools-for-lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">help law firms and legal departments<\/a> streamline their contract review and management processes.

Every interaction with a prospect is an opportunity to build rapport, understand needs, and ultimately close deals. But with busy schedules and complex sales cycles, there\u2019s only so much you can do, right? I know it can be challenging to remember every important detail and make every conversation personal.<\/p>\n<p>Cue RingSenseTM\u00a0for Sales, an AI-powered platform that incorporates conversation intelligence technology into business communications and collaboration. While RingCentral is best known for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanty.com\/blog\/web-based-collaboration-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cloud-based unified communications solutions<\/a>, this tool is a nice addition to the company\u2019s growing AI portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca993eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca993eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"color: #421f3c; font-size: 28px;\">How can you leverage AI to boost sales efforts?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-425c86c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"425c86c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>\u201c<i>\u2026everyone can stay focused, and AI handles the rest.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>With a promise like that, I would expect nothing but reliable, innovative solutions from RingCentral. Safe to say after tinkering with the tool, I found several ways to make work easier for sales consultants and teams.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automated reports and scoring\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Instead of wasting time manually jotting down notes during a call, salespeople can get AI-generated summaries, notes, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.happyscribe.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-transcribe-interviews-quickly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transcripts<\/a>. This enables teams to focus on active listening and make more effort to get positive results. Additionally, with automated scoring, managers can pinpoint conversations that need the most attention without sifting through thousands of conversations.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keyword tracking<\/b> \u2013 Analyzing calls and recordings is tedious, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/instantly.ai\/blog\/ai-tools-for-sales-and-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI tools for sales<\/a>, it doesn\u2019t have to be. AI automatically tracks important keywords, phrases, and topics and uses this data to identify your team\u2019s effectiveness in handling objections and competitor mentions and how these impact your customer relationships. This gives salespeople more time to focus on coaching and strategy.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sales planning<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Armed with a detailed pipeline overview, you can see exactly where each deal stands, track team progress against historical data, and accurately forecast sales. This empowers sales teams to prioritize high-probability deals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scoro.com\/blog\/resource-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">optimize resource allocation<\/a>, and ensure proper coverage at all times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6078ddf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6078ddf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be9ab13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be9ab13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12795\" src=\"https:\/\/proweb.p.blends.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/ringcentral-ringsense-for-sales.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"848\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/ringsense-for-sales.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fb44c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4fb44c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Available as an add-on to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/ringcx.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RingCentral RingCX<\/a>, this AI-infused tool has the potential to become a \u201cmust-have\u201d weapon in the sales industry.
