- 23. IT MAKES BUSINESS MORE‘HUMAN’
- 24. WHAT MAKES US‘HUMAN?’ Empathy. The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
- 25. HOW DO WESHOW EMPATHY? When communicating with others, we uniquely tailor how we speak with them. We demonstrate that we appreciate their unique wants, desires, circumstances, etc. In effect, we personalize the experience they have with us.
- 26. RELATIONSHIPS 101 And howdo we build strong relationships? Listen to what they say, Take the time to understand who they are, and Find ways to make their life better.
- 27. IT’S A QUESTIONOF SCALE Building deep meaningful relationships takes a lot of work. As human beings, we can only build great relationships with a handful of people. But A.I. can amplify that effort so you can build great relationships with millions.
- 28. FOR EXAMPLE... Pick oneof your customers. Read every piece of content they’ve ever put out — every blog post, tweet, facebook update, Instagram image, etc. How well do you know them now? Pretty darn well — you understand them and can share their feelings. That’s empathy. And how well do you think you could market to them now?
- 29. A.I. is anamplifier. It allows you build empathy at a scale and depth that is simply beyond human capabilities. ● Model the habits, likes, dislikes and values of your customers, then ● Predict the behavior of those customers and personalize their communications accordingly NOW SCALE THAT UP
