What if you could transform the way you communicate and enhance your relationships, both personal and professional? Join me, Corey Berrier, and special guest Brigham Dickinson on the Successful Life Podcast as we explore the revolutionary impact of AI on communication. We kick off with a heartfelt acknowledgment of the challenges faced by Californians amid devastating fires, keeping their recovery in our thoughts. From there, we dive into how AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping the way we express emotions and intentions, offering listeners a glimpse into the creative potential AI holds for bridging personal gaps.
Brigham and I delve into the art of crafting specific prompts to unlock authentic AI-generated responses. We share personal stories that highlight the power of gratitude in countering negative thoughts and improving mental well-being, while also discussing strategies for overcoming self-doubt and regulating internal conversations. Our conversation underscores how fostering gratitude and empathy can improve self-awareness, manage anxiety, and ultimately strengthen relationships.
The episode also explores the financial benefits of integrating AI into customer service roles, comparing AI's capabilities with those of live agents. We discuss how AI can track and enhance CSR performance without replacing the human touch, emphasizing its potential to refine follow-up strategies and boost communications. With insights into the promising future of AI in customer service, we illustrate a landscape where AI serves as an indispensable partner, enhancing both efficiency and effectiveness for professionals looking to elevate their customer interactions.
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.966 Lots of changes coming buddy.
00:00:34.066 --> 00:00:34.628 Lots of changes.
00:00:34.628 --> 00:00:41.009 You know I don't want to eat my words but I think we're going to be okay, right?
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.084 I mean, how could we not?
00:00:42.084 --> 00:00:43.027 It's dumpster fire.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.942 Anybody could do a better job, I think, yeah.
00:00:48.942 --> 00:01:05.031 Well, truth be told, I am absolutely praying my guts out for the people in california that are, and maybe when this podcast comes out it'll be forgotten, but it's going to take a while for homes to be rebuilt and for lives to be rebuilt because of what occurred there.
00:01:05.031 --> 00:01:12.134 And just know that our hearts go out to you guys in California and and hope that you get through this very quickly.
00:01:14.381 --> 00:01:16.846 Yeah, I don't know, I don't know how quickly anything.
00:01:16.846 --> 00:01:26.346 I mean this is terrible and I think, from what I, from what I first understood, it was two kids that started the fire, but I'm pretty sure that narrative changed.
00:01:26.968 --> 00:01:28.554 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:28.554 --> 00:01:29.356 We don't know.
00:01:29.356 --> 00:01:30.079 We don't know.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:42.126 What we know is that thousands of lives have been affected and our heart goes out to you I can't imagine that happening to me or to my home and just know that you're in our prayers.
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.045 Yeah, 100%.
00:01:44.045 --> 00:01:45.746 So let's dive into it.
00:01:45.746 --> 00:02:02.712 We were talking about before we started how you know a couple of ways that you and I both use AI and then, and how it makes things significantly easier.
00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:11.513 So, if you want to, we can dive into that first, but then I want to dive into how is this affecting CSRs?
00:02:11.513 --> 00:02:14.729 How is this affecting, you know, your business, your CSRs?
00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:18.528 So there's a lot of yeah.
00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:21.947 Yeah, I think those are some great topics.
00:02:21.947 --> 00:02:44.752 I think those are some great topics.
00:02:44.752 --> 00:02:50.900 I would say, first and foremost, that ChatG it's an email, whether it's a letter it has made life so much.
00:02:50.900 --> 00:03:05.639 I'll tell you, it's made life a lot easier because it makes us sound really good, right, it makes us sound really good like we're great writers and that we're very thoughtful and we are, and that we're very thoughtful and we are.
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:14.069 It's just that sometimes, when you take a feeling or an emotion and you try to put it on paper, you try to put it into words, the feeling and the emotion gets lost in translation.
00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:25.747 And the cool thing about ChatGPT is that it helps decipher the emotions and the feelings that we're feeling and puts them into words.
00:03:28.293 --> 00:03:33.689 Yes, yeah, I agree, and the thing is, it's really what you'd like to say.
00:03:33.689 --> 00:03:37.485 It just puts it out there to where.
00:03:37.485 --> 00:03:43.864 It puts it out there in a very succinct way, and it's so much easier for the other person to read and understand.
00:03:44.685 --> 00:03:48.149 Yeah, and you got to get good at coaching it.
00:03:48.149 --> 00:03:52.393 See, that's, that's the thing about ChatGPT you get out what you put into it.
00:03:52.393 --> 00:04:05.691 I would highly suggest that, when you first start using it, turn off the internet, because the internet man, when ChatGPT pulls from the internet, it just becomes super I don't know disingenuous.
00:04:05.691 --> 00:04:07.281 It's not authentic, it's not real.
00:04:07.281 --> 00:04:10.288 People will see right through it.
00:04:10.288 --> 00:04:11.310 I guess is what I'm saying.
00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:12.693 Don't do that.
00:04:12.693 --> 00:04:37.629 Keep the internet off, at least initially, and let ChatGPT work with the words that you've put into it and then, when it comes back out with what it thinks is what you're looking for, provide it feedback, and then a little bit more feedback, a little bit more feedback, and keep messing with it, keep toying with it, and the more you toy with it, the more comfortable you'll get with it and it'll help you be a rock star.
00:04:37.629 --> 00:04:38.982 Let me give you one example.
00:04:38.982 --> 00:04:41.103 So I go to a lot of events, as you do as well, corey.
00:04:41.103 --> 00:04:48.853 So I go to a lot of events as as you do as well, corey, and we went to this roofing event before the end of the year.
00:04:48.853 --> 00:04:50.173 It was a great roofing event.
00:04:50.173 --> 00:04:52.076 Lance Bachman put it on.
00:04:52.076 --> 00:04:56.310 It was great.
00:04:56.310 --> 00:05:04.199 Super, super talented team there that Lance Bachman has, and Jonathan he.
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.281 I told him that my wife's a little upset at me and he said, well, why?
00:05:08.281 --> 00:05:17.105 And I said, well, she's having a surgery right now, a medical surgery, and I'm at this roofing event instead of taking care of her.
00:05:17.105 --> 00:05:20.913 And he's like, wow, that's brutal.
00:05:20.913 --> 00:05:24.786 I was like I know, bro, it's brutal, but I'm speaking at this event, I have to be at this event.
00:05:24.786 --> 00:05:26.629 Nobody can speak for me per se.
00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:29.533 And he said I have an idea.
00:05:29.533 --> 00:05:30.401 I said what's that?
00:05:30.401 --> 00:05:32.185 And he said let's pull up chat GPT.
00:05:32.185 --> 00:05:49.956 And he pulled it up and he said write me a poem having to do with her surgery, but also you being where you're at it's a place, florida, on the beach, and so on and so forth, and make it funny and fun, loving and so on and so forth.
00:05:49.956 --> 00:06:01.947 Just gave it a little bit of feedback and and of course, the thing spit out this incredibly funny, incredibly heartfelt poem and I was like dude, this is genius.
00:06:01.947 --> 00:06:16.550 And so I sent it to her and she sent back tear-filled emojis and she shared it with her mother, who was also wondering why she was there instead of me, and it just kind of calmed the waters.
00:06:16.550 --> 00:06:21.290 You know, my mother-in-law appreciated it, thought it was so thoughtful and kind.
00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:23.007 My wife appreciated it.
00:06:23.007 --> 00:06:33.952 I looked like you, looked like some talented poet, and what they don't know is I literally spent five minutes on it, with Jonathan's help.
00:06:33.952 --> 00:06:36.791 It was a miracle.
00:06:36.791 --> 00:06:42.348 It was a miracle and if you're not using this miracle, that's on you.
00:06:43.151 --> 00:06:48.343 Yeah, using this miracle that's on you.
00:06:48.343 --> 00:06:51.009 Yeah, well, imagine, you know, for using it, something like just just like a poem.
00:06:51.009 --> 00:06:53.274 But imagine using it inside your service-based business.
00:06:53.274 --> 00:07:04.125 For how many times have you come across technicians that put every technician hates putting notes in to the server into the service type or whatever they're using?
00:07:04.125 --> 00:07:08.550 They hate it, right, just like most people that are in the trades.
00:07:08.550 --> 00:07:15.028 They've gotten the trades to use their hands not to write in the computer, although that's absolutely part of the job.
00:07:15.028 --> 00:07:17.127 That's not really what they signed up for.
00:07:17.127 --> 00:07:23.228 So imagine if they had an opportunity to understand and learn how to simply put this in.
00:07:23.228 --> 00:07:25.747 Imagine what that would do to the rest of the business.
00:07:28.415 --> 00:07:29.480 Yeah, unbelievable.
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:56.651 Let's just say this Every important relationship, if it's important and I'm just talking about your spouse or your kids, especially when they get older man, you better really be thinking about your responses, because words carry meaning and if they get lost in translation, you better really be thinking about your responses, because words carry meaning and if they get lost in translation, you might have to spend more time on that relationship than is needed because you're trying to explain what you meant all the time.
00:07:56.651 --> 00:08:13.153 But any important relationship, whether it's a text response, whether it's an email response, whether it's a letter, go to ChatGPT, put in what you're thinking of putting in, submit it through and then start coaching it.
00:08:13.153 --> 00:08:15.665 Coach it along, give us some feedback.
00:08:15.665 --> 00:08:27.353 It'll learn what your preferences are, what you're looking for, and you will find how magically the way you feel will be put into words that others will understand and embrace.
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:31.987 Yep, I agree with you, I totally agree with you.
00:08:31.987 --> 00:08:37.567 And here's the thing the prompt I mean the output is as good as the prompt that you give it.
00:08:37.567 --> 00:08:43.383 So if you say, hey, chat, write me a proposal, Well, it doesn't really know.
00:08:43.383 --> 00:08:48.640 You're looking for a proposal for your HVAC client.
00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:50.606 It just says proposal.
00:08:50.606 --> 00:08:51.951 So you've got to be specific.
00:08:51.951 --> 00:08:56.182 The more specific you are, the better responses that you're going to get.
00:08:56.784 --> 00:08:57.186 That's right.
00:08:58.187 --> 00:09:01.322 And we found this with their gratitude list, right.
00:09:01.322 --> 00:09:04.841 So I send out a gratitude list, like a lot of people probably know at this point, right.
00:09:04.841 --> 00:09:06.884 So you know, I send out a gratitude list, like a lot of people probably know at this point.
00:09:06.884 --> 00:09:11.113 And you know, my girlfriend thinks it's funny that I put it in chat GPT, but it's not.
00:09:19.121 --> 00:09:23.460 I don't think it's funny because you can read exactly what I'm trying to say in a very clear, concise way.
00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:37.743 Yeah, yeah, let's just look at this morning's real quick here.
00:09:37.743 --> 00:09:41.648 So my intention is to write a gratitude list that is not only going to benefit myself when I read it.
00:09:41.648 --> 00:09:58.355 I want it to be inspiring when I read it and I also share it with obviously with Corey, and I share it with my family, share it with my kids and my wife, and my intent there is to show them by my example how to control their focus.
00:10:02.041 --> 00:10:06.307 Sometimes I experienced thought betrayal, and let me just explain where I'm coming from here.
00:10:06.307 --> 00:10:25.995 About two months ago, I was going to do some ride-alongs with Mr Appliance here locally, St George, Utah, Southern Utah, and on my way to Mr Appliance, a thought came into my head and the thought was you're going to fail.
00:10:25.995 --> 00:10:31.767 You're going to fail at this training at Mr Appliance.
00:10:31.767 --> 00:11:06.873 That was a thought that was inside my head and for about 10 seconds I considered that thought and I'll tell you it was 10 seconds too long and I said to myself no, I've done this a hundred times, if not a thousand, and I'm going to crush it and I'm going to shut your mouth in the process, whoever you are, whatever you are, If that's my brain dude, you're in timeout.
00:11:06.873 --> 00:11:15.844 Okay and yeah, sure enough, crushed the training, did some ride-alongs after that and did really, really well.
00:11:18.207 --> 00:11:21.553 The cool thing about gratitude is that it unlocks truth.
00:11:21.553 --> 00:11:30.331 Whenever you have thought betrayal similar to what I've just described, immediately begin to think about what you're grateful for.
00:11:30.331 --> 00:11:45.932 Think about what you're grateful for sincerely, truly, honestly, and what it'll do is it'll cut through the thought betrayal like a knife, because it's bringing truth into that conversation going on inside your head and it's a.
00:11:45.932 --> 00:11:48.081 It's one way to combat the stinking thinking.
00:11:50.066 --> 00:11:56.123 A hundred, a hundred percent, because you can't be upset and grateful at the same time.
00:11:57.405 --> 00:12:03.941 Yes, it's impossible, yes, and some people don't have any conversations going on inside their head.
00:12:03.941 --> 00:12:08.624 Let me tell you, I have thousands of conversations going on inside my head.
00:12:08.624 --> 00:12:26.378 I am just one of those that my brain is constantly thinking constantly, and one of the things I've had to learn is to regulate and slow down those thoughts and make sure that I don't poison myself with thoughts that just aren't true.
00:12:26.378 --> 00:12:27.422 They're not real.
00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:30.285 That's a great point.
00:12:30.285 --> 00:12:33.711 What is factual, right?
00:12:33.711 --> 00:12:39.986 And a lot of times, our thoughts are just not factual, they're just thoughts.
00:12:39.986 --> 00:12:50.671 And so if you, you know, if you list out the things, and so if you, you know, if you list out the things, you know, is it a fact that I'm going to fail at this?
00:12:50.671 --> 00:12:51.133 Well, no, that's.
00:12:51.133 --> 00:12:59.311 There's no way to prove that you haven't even done it yet, right, or you haven't done it with this company yet yeah, I was having a conversation with my daughter.
00:12:59.390 --> 00:13:11.072 She's 22 and she went back to church a a singles award right, where everybody's single, purposely single, at the church in this group.
00:13:11.072 --> 00:13:19.283 And it's cool, right, cause they can all relate, they're all in the same boat, you know, it's cool, it's awesome thing that the church does.
00:13:19.283 --> 00:13:26.702 But she had some anxiety, tons of anxiety, she's like, and so I said okay, what are you feeling, what are you experiencing right now?
00:13:26.702 --> 00:13:38.592 And she said well, I'm just afraid that nobody's going to say hi to me and you know where that's coming from the, the, the I'm not good enough.
00:13:38.592 --> 00:13:43.408 Message that your brain tells you Okay, what a lie, what a total.
00:13:43.408 --> 00:13:45.794 Okay, this is a gorgeous girl.
00:13:45.794 --> 00:13:49.082 All right, she is going to get attention.
00:13:49.082 --> 00:13:52.611 So I simply said sweetheart, when's the last time you looked in the mirror?
00:13:52.611 --> 00:13:54.868 Because I don't see what you're seeing.
00:13:54.868 --> 00:14:10.780 Okay, I think you're going to get a lot of conversations and, quite frankly, you're going to church at the end of the day, and if nobody talks to you, fine, because you're there to build a relationship with Jesus, all right, now, hopefully, somebody does talk to you, and it's fine, it's wonderful.
00:14:10.780 --> 00:14:15.412 And she said I know, but everybody seems to put on a face there, you know.
00:14:15.412 --> 00:14:18.744 And I said, well, yeah, the same reason why you put on a face there.
00:14:18.744 --> 00:14:19.985 And she's like I don't put on a face.
00:14:19.985 --> 00:14:25.133 I said, sweetheart, you're 22 years old, everybody puts on a face.
00:14:25.133 --> 00:14:30.086 At your age it's rare that you don't act like.
00:14:30.086 --> 00:14:36.164 You know the type of person that you think everybody else will like and appreciate, and so on and so forth.
00:14:36.164 --> 00:14:39.261 You know the high school, you've been out of high school what three years?
00:14:39.261 --> 00:14:40.884 Sorry, you still do that.
00:14:40.884 --> 00:14:45.073 And and so he's like, oh wow, I guess I need to work.
00:14:45.073 --> 00:14:47.866 I said yes, because you are enough.
00:14:47.866 --> 00:14:54.652 You're enough and you can take how everybody acts in there with a grain of salt.
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:02.311 And it just so happened that there was one guy that she recognized playing the piano at the church and that person she met at CrossFit.
00:15:02.311 --> 00:15:06.187 He is also a CrossFit trainer and he was really flirting with her a week before at CrossFit.
00:15:06.187 --> 00:15:08.039 He is also a CrossFit trainer and he was really flirting with her a week before at CrossFit.
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:11.971 But while he was playing the piano, even though he recognized her, he didn't say anything.
00:15:11.971 --> 00:15:14.248 I said I wonder why he didn't say anything.
00:15:14.248 --> 00:15:15.724 He said I know, do you think he's kind of?
00:15:15.724 --> 00:15:22.307 I said, well, the way you described it at CrossFit, he was all over you, right, he was flirty and so on and so forth.
00:15:22.307 --> 00:15:31.905 Didn, right, he was 30 and so on and so forth didn't touch her but just was like, hey, let's do this now, let's try that.
00:15:31.905 --> 00:15:32.726 You know, super, super nice, right.
00:15:32.726 --> 00:15:33.789 And so she kind of was like whoa too much.
00:15:33.789 --> 00:15:37.418 So he probably recognized whoa too much by sunday and tried to compensate by not being much at all.
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.828 It's what I would do, yeah, 100.
00:15:40.828 --> 00:15:43.818 I was kind of excited when I first saw you.
00:15:43.818 --> 00:15:44.883 I didn't know what to do with myself.
00:15:44.883 --> 00:15:49.823 But now that I'm collected I'm going to be like, okay, I'm super cool and I don't, you know, I don't totally need your attention.
00:15:49.823 --> 00:15:50.807 I would do that.
00:15:50.807 --> 00:15:52.985 I would still do that At her age, I would do that.
00:15:52.985 --> 00:16:01.769 And so just kind of walking her through it and realize, helping her, realize, look, you're kids and you're a kid and you're working through stuff.
00:16:01.769 --> 00:16:14.730 And the most important thing is for you to just keep going, keep going, keep working, keep working on that relationship with Jesus and and all that other stuff will work itself out right, you just need time.
00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:19.787 But those thoughts, man, those thoughts, they'll betray us every time, unless we keep them under control.
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.124 Well, it's just like a networking event.
00:16:22.124 --> 00:16:32.192 When you get to a networking event, you're like oh God, I don't want to make small talk, but everybody in the room is having the same thought yeah, everybody.
00:16:32.192 --> 00:16:32.852 And guess what?
00:16:32.852 --> 00:16:35.246 The first person that speaks wins.
00:16:35.246 --> 00:16:36.770 They overcome.
00:16:36.770 --> 00:16:44.633 And then it invites the person that you speak to to let their guard down and have a conversation with you.
00:16:44.633 --> 00:16:50.212 It's almost like giving permission to not feel that way for another person.
00:16:50.514 --> 00:16:55.004 Really, yeah I don't know what it is.
00:16:55.004 --> 00:17:01.360 It sucks to get to an event, to travel the hotel checking in all that garbage.
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:02.121 It's ridiculous.
00:17:02.121 --> 00:17:04.967 If you're going to vegas, you're like dude, what am I going to do here?
00:17:04.967 --> 00:17:05.587 It's not.
00:17:05.587 --> 00:17:08.452 You know what I mean.
00:17:08.452 --> 00:17:09.976 It's not.
00:17:10.036 --> 00:17:15.315 It's not great for a kid from Utah to go to Vegas, even though it's two and a half hours away.
00:17:15.315 --> 00:17:17.481 I never go there, unless I have to get to the airport.
00:17:17.481 --> 00:17:24.483 But as soon as I get there, I start recognizing everybody that's there, and you know what.
00:17:24.483 --> 00:17:25.946 They all came to grow their business.
00:17:25.946 --> 00:17:28.692 They all came to learn something that they didn't know before.
00:17:28.692 --> 00:17:34.582 I love their guts I don't know how else to say it.
00:17:34.582 --> 00:17:36.125 I love them.
00:17:36.125 --> 00:17:40.122 I love them, I want them to be successful and as soon as I see them, I don't care.
00:17:40.122 --> 00:17:44.460 I don't care what it took to get here, I'm just glad I'm here and I'm glad I can.
00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:48.268 I can be of some support to you in one way or another.
00:17:48.268 --> 00:17:52.319 And and there's always easy ways to relate, you know cause.
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.306 You know, 25% of them are bald.
00:17:55.306 --> 00:17:56.227 It's wonderful.
00:17:56.227 --> 00:17:59.221 I get to tell my favorite joke, which is man, I love your hair, right?
00:17:59.221 --> 00:18:03.958 I'm constantly saying that, not just cause I think it's hilarious, right?
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:13.326 I don't know why I think, when you laugh at your own jokes you really you know you're really fun, but yeah, so anyway.
00:18:15.316 --> 00:18:15.516 All right.
00:18:15.516 --> 00:18:16.819 So let me ask you a hard question.
00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:17.741 Yeah, go ahead.
00:18:17.741 --> 00:18:24.855 Oh my god, I don't know what sets that thing off, but like I, I just move a certain way, like people who are just listening.
00:18:24.934 --> 00:18:26.160 Cory, have no idea what you're talking.
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.946 Yeah, there's a bunch of fireworks.
00:18:27.946 --> 00:18:29.954 Happy new year everyone.
00:18:29.954 --> 00:18:32.097 It's so crazy.
00:18:32.097 --> 00:18:33.941 That was perfect, that was.
00:18:34.521 --> 00:18:37.886 So CSRs is your primary business?
00:18:37.886 --> 00:18:40.476 Tell me how you know.
00:18:40.476 --> 00:18:51.916 I know that there's AI, conversational AI that's out there, and I'm just curious how is this affecting your business?
00:18:51.916 --> 00:18:53.198 How is it you know?
00:18:53.198 --> 00:18:54.357 How are you seeing this?
00:18:54.357 --> 00:18:55.378 How is it you know?
00:18:55.378 --> 00:18:56.619 How are you seeing this?
00:18:56.619 --> 00:18:59.961 How are you seeing it affecting your business if it hasn't already?
00:19:00.821 --> 00:19:03.143 We've had six companies on the booked side.
00:19:03.143 --> 00:19:07.805 So Booked by PSP is a company that answers phones for you.
00:19:07.805 --> 00:19:09.865 It's pretty cool.
00:19:09.865 --> 00:19:11.686 We've been in business for two and a half years.
00:19:11.686 --> 00:19:14.249 We have 65 agents and counting.
00:19:14.249 --> 00:19:18.550 They currently book contractor calls nights and weekends mostly.
00:19:18.550 --> 00:19:28.118 But there are some companies we work with where we answer all their phone calls for them and we have a 93% booking ratio.
00:19:28.118 --> 00:19:28.922 That's no joke, that's no exaggeration.
00:19:28.922 --> 00:19:30.387 There isn't a call center out there that books at 93%.
00:19:30.387 --> 00:19:32.275 So for us to be at 93% is remarkable.
00:19:33.035 --> 00:19:34.076 Seems almost ridiculous.
00:19:34.076 --> 00:19:38.567 If I didn't know you, I would say oh come on, dude Like really 93%.
00:19:40.076 --> 00:19:47.364 Well, it's important for us to walk our talk, so it's really good to have that company around.
00:19:47.364 --> 00:20:03.347 We've had six companies that have called us and said, hey, we're going to try this AI or that AI and we've lost them, and all six have come back with really bad experiences.
00:20:03.347 --> 00:20:08.141 And it hasn't been contributed or attributed to just one AI company.
00:20:08.141 --> 00:20:09.143 It's been all of them.
00:20:09.182 --> 00:20:11.888 Now why is that Great question?
00:20:11.888 --> 00:20:15.424 The reason why that is is because the AI is not there yet.
00:20:15.424 --> 00:20:17.117 So the reason why that is is because the AI is not there yet.
00:20:17.117 --> 00:20:18.320 Will it get there at some point?
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:21.768 I would imagine it would, it's just not there today.
00:20:21.768 --> 00:20:36.997 So for those of you who want to be the pioneers of the tech and want to work through and have the patience to work through the growing pains of the tech, of the technology awesome, go for it, love it.
00:20:36.997 --> 00:20:49.259 Here's what's crazy In 2023, on the PowerSelling Pro side now, we had about 900, just over 900 trainees in our coaching program.
00:20:49.300 --> 00:20:51.625 We coach CSRs, dispatchers and coordinators.
00:20:51.625 --> 00:20:55.142 We talk to them one-on-one twice a month using their own phone calls.
00:20:55.142 --> 00:20:57.507 We prefer to train your CSRs.
00:20:57.507 --> 00:21:08.362 We'd rather train people on how to book calls and wow customers, make sure you're the only one going out, as opposed to you using our own call center.
00:21:08.362 --> 00:21:10.707 Our own call center is the B team.
00:21:10.707 --> 00:21:17.275 It's there when you don't have CSRs or when you have CSRs that don't answer phones at all hours of the night.
00:21:17.275 --> 00:21:20.824 So nights and weekends overflow that sort of thing.
00:21:20.824 --> 00:21:22.208 They're the B team.
00:21:22.208 --> 00:21:25.403 The B team is booking at 93%.
00:21:25.403 --> 00:21:26.907 We want you booking better than that Now.
00:21:26.907 --> 00:21:29.355 We guarantee at least 85% closing ratio.
00:21:29.355 --> 00:21:40.756 This year we had over 1200 trainees in our program, so from just over 900 in 2023 to well over 1,200 trainees in our program.
00:21:40.756 --> 00:21:44.665 That kind of gives you an idea as to how much AI is affecting our business.
00:21:44.665 --> 00:21:45.567 Not at all.
00:21:46.815 --> 00:21:58.904 So what kind of feedback are you getting and I'm not asking you to by any means throw anybody under the bus, just the AI callers in general, what kind of feedback, let's say, from those six people that came back?
00:21:58.904 --> 00:22:00.106 What was what?
00:22:00.106 --> 00:22:01.328 Why did it not work?
