AI in sales refers to the use of intelligent technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing to improve sales processes. In the context of CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote), AI can automate and optimize offer configuration, pricing and quote generation.
AI in CPQ simplifies and accelerates the sales process by automating repetitive tasks such as product configuration, pricing and quote creation. It also uses historical data and predictive models to recommend the best product and pricing options, enabling sales reps to propose more personalized and competitive offers.
Benefits include increased sales productivity thanks to greater automation, reduced quotation errors and improved pricing accuracy. What’s more, AI can analyze sales data and customer behaviors to identify cross-selling and up-selling opportunities, contributing to revenue growth.
CPQ solutions using AI must comply with data security and privacy standards, such as encryption of sensitive data, restricted access to customer information and compliance with regulations such as RGPD. Companies also need to choose trusted suppliers and implement robust policies and procedures to guarantee data protection.
The future of AI in CPQ is bright, with continued advances in machine learning, natural language processing and computer vision technologies. We can expect to see greater integration of AI into CPQ systems, offering more advanced functionalities such as prediction of customer needs, product recommendation and even greater personalization of offers.
