Change management goes beyond the implementation of new systems. It is a more integrated approach to the transition of an organization, team and processes from the current state to the future. It includes implementing change, leadership, communication, and overcoming sabotage.
A vivid example of successful implementation of changes can be found in our company White Sales, which is engaged in sales consulting. We encountered the frequent practice of the need to improve sales skills among salespeople and decided to use artificial intelligence technology. Thus, the Big Sister AI product was formed - this solution not only improved sales processes, but also caused cultural changes in the company.
Big Sister AI offers a unique approach to change management, combining artificial intelligence algorithms with the personalized mentorship of experienced business analysts. This combination of advanced technology and human approach turns it into a human-to-human (H2H) service with the involvement of algorithms based on artificial intelligence.
Once the Big Sister AI solution was developed, White Sales integrated it into their own sales processes. Artificial intelligence technology tracked salespeople's work, collecting data on their CRM skills and their communication with customers during negotiations. This approach, based on data analysis, provided a holistic vision of salespeople's work.
Combined with artificial intelligence capabilities, Big Sister AI's individual mentoring component proved to be the deciding factor that changed the rules of the game. Experienced business analysts provide personalized recommendations to sales team members based on performance data. This combination of technological knowledge and personalized mentoring has created a robust feedback loop for improvement.
Implementation of Big Sister AI provides transparency, transforms sales efficiency in White Sales. Data-driven results have enabled targeted improvements in CRM usage, call strategy, and overall performance.
