In the fall of 2022, the swift emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) captured widespread attention with the introduction of ChatGPT. Since then, the landscape has changed significantly. Although still in its early stages, AI has begun transforming the world. Nearly 10,000 AI-enabled tools are now available in the market, developed by both small startups and large enterprises. If you have a specific use case, there’s likely an AI-powered solution already out there, highlighting its extensive reach.Â
The sales and marketing sectors have also been influenced by this AI transformation, with almost every business claiming to utilize or adapt AI to enhance their go-to-market (GTM) strategies. A recent McKinsey article noted that businesses employing AI have experienced revenue increases ranging from 3% to 15% and improvements in sales return on investment (ROI) between 10% and 20%.Â
As companies explore the potential for creating highly effective GTM strategies through advanced AI and business intelligence, examining how business intelligence is reshaping these strategies is essential. To adapt to an AI-driven marketplace, businesses must consider specific actions they can take. So, before you invest another dollar in your GTM strategies, here are some insights to help you maximize the ROI on your sales and marketing efforts.Â
