What’s the Best AI Sales Software for Selling Digital Services to Small Businesses?

Conquering the SMB Market: How Generative AI Software Can Supercharge Your Digital Agency’s Sales

There’s no denying AI is transforming the sales technology landscape, with an influx of sophisticated tools for CRMs, marketing automation, forecasting, and more. But have you ever wondered why typical AI sales tools fall devastatingly short when digital agencies set their sights on capturing lucrative SMB clients and partnerships?

Well, AI Sales Tools Are Evolving. But Most Still Miss the SMB Mark!

Many specialized tools have become available to help with this complex challenge of sales prospecting, but very few differentiate the nuanced difference between selling to enterprises versus selling to small and local businesses. While most, if not all, of these sales engagement and sales enablement tools have now begun to capitalize on the power of automation, the problem of generic sales approach persists across most of them. This is because they are not tailored for the high-touch, personalized engagement smaller firms demand before signing on the dotted line.

At the outset, while generative AI or GenAI promises the power of personalization at scale and steps in as a game-changer for SMB-focused sales, many of them can still be severely deficient in the depth of personalization—most suited to capture small business attention.

Because personalization has become the other name for AI-powered sales, take a few seconds to go through why and how personalization is indispensable to achieving your sales goals faster and more effectively. Read until the end to find the best AI sales software match for your agency!

How GenAI Personalization Destroys Generic Selling and Accelerates Closing Deals

For forward-thinking marketing service providers seeking an advantage in the battle for SMB buyers, generative AI-driven personalization represents the indispensable, precision-guided weapon for getting their message through, building credibility, and earning trusted partner status.

Small and medium businesses are fatigued by one-size-fits-all pitches that fail to address their particular challenges. They crave genuine connections and solutions from partners who truly understand their objectives. Cue: AI’s ability to deliver dynamic, high-touch customization. Here’s how:

• AI can analyze vast amounts of data on industry trends, SMB pain points, and marketing budgets. Imagine sending an email to a local bakery highlighting the success a similar bakery achieved through targeted social media campaigns.
• AI transcends the act of simply inserting names. It analyzes historical interactions, past marketing campaigns, and social media data to craft messages that speak directly to the prospect’s unique situation. Think of an AI-generated email that references a recent blog post the prospect read on your website on ‘common SEO mistakes small businesses make’, demonstrating your agency’s genuine interest in their specific needs.
• Beyond personalization, GenAI streamlines your sales process, freeing up your team’s valuable time for strategic pursuits. Here’s how AI can boost productivity:

Effortless Lead Generation: Imagine AI scouring online directories, social media platforms, and even business news websites to identify high-potential SMBs that perfectly align with your agency’s offerings. This targeted lead generation saves your team countless hours of prospecting.

Automated Outreach: AI can craft and send personalized emails, social media messages, and even voicemails at scale. Your team can focus on crafting high-impact proposals and closing deals, rather than spending hours on repetitive outreach tasks. For example, AI can personalize mail greetings mentioning the prospect’s company name and referencing a relevant industry trend you discussed in a recent blog post.

However, through all of this, one key point to highlight is that an AI software application can only get as good as the data it is trained on. If we be straight about it, only a purpose-built AI software can truly equip agency teams with automated capabilities that streamline tedious tasks, enhance prospect targeting, and nurture relationships at scale. And BuzzBoard is all that and more that your ambitious agency players have been looking for and truly deserve!
