Join the Indy Chamber and Trustpointe for lunch and an opportunity to improve processes, personal performance, and results to become the high-achieving sales professional you’ve been striving to be.
Event Topic: Hiring Top Talent
Far too often, sales organizations are challenged with gaining the best talent. They rely on several biases (cognitive bias, affinity bias, and others) to make their choice. Then, six months later they are blindsided with a lack of results. Here’s a simple guide: “All salespeople are good on a one-hour date.”
In this Breakthrough Session, Trustpointe trainers will highlight best practices, must-haves, appropriate assessments and more. They will also explain their unique interview approach.

Cómo utilizar IA práctica para atraer nuevos clientes sin perder el toque humano.
Acerca de este evento
Muchos negocios hispanos no están perdiendo clientes porque les falte talento, servicio o capacidad. Están perdiendo potenciales clientes porque los mensajes llegan tarde, se quedan en lugares distintos, o nadie puede responder con rapidez en el idioma del cliente.
En esta sesión práctica, César Corzo, fundador de Backbone AI Solutions, mostrará cómo la inteligencia artificial puede ayudar a un negocio pequeño o mediano a capturar prospectos, organizar información, responder en inglés y español, y mantener siempre a una persona en control del proceso. La meta no es reemplazar al dueño, al equipo ni la relación humana. La meta es usar IA para quitar fricción, ordenar el caos y responder mejor.
Qué aprenderá

Cómo escribir prompts (instrucciones) efectivos a una IA para que produzca trabajo útil para su negocio.
Cómo conectar varios pasos en un flujo de trabajo automatizado: prompts, acciones y datos.
Cómo identificar dónde la IA realmente ayuda a su negocio, y dónde es solamente ruido.
