AI can dramatically impact your Go-To-Market Strategy, including marketing roles, marketing and customers, and marketing and selling.
Well-defined and documented processes and procedures are more efficient when certain tasks are automated and out-of-date methods replaced. Innovative technology and AI will continue to enhance sales and marketing over time.
As Dr. Anthony Branda. MBA, PhD, CAP in From Next Best Action (NBA) to Agentic AI: The Evolution of Intelligent Decisioning -NBA 3.0 explains, traditional next best action systems “suggest the best action to a human or automated system”, but “a human or another system executes the action.” Next best action with Agentic AI can “decide on actions, autonomously execute the actions, monitor outcomes, and adjust future actions without human intervention. “
How can this affect your go-to-market strategy and marketing roles? Here is an example:
According to Dr. Anthony Branda, “Traditional NBA: suggests a personalized offer for a marketer to use in an ad campaign.” but a human runs the campaign. “Agentic NBA: AI generates and runs the campaign itself, adjusting messaging dynamically based on engagement data.”
AI can help reduce the human workload, increase efficiency, and enable marketers to collaborate and communicate more effectively, making better decisions to engage prospects and customers. The impact of technology, automation, and AI specifically addressing marketing roles, depends on:
- The type of marketing role
- The tasks performed in each marketing role
- The level of marketing role
- Whether AI and automation will free up marketing personnel to perform critical problem-solving functions
Whether the marketing role is an executive position, such as the Chief Marketing Officer, a Marketing Director, or a Marketing Manager role, or a Marketing Assistant role, your go-to-market strategy should consider the most efficient way tasks and decisions are executed in each marketing role to build trust and relevance with customers and prospects.
What Impact Will AI Have on Marketing Roles and Marketing and Customers
Marketing roles can become more efficient while preserving privacy, personalization, and performance to serve customers and prospects better.
- CMOs (Chief Marketing Officers) drive revenue through strategic sales marketing and customer initiatives such as building brand awareness, acquiring customers, and effectively working with other departments.
- Marketing Directors focus on promoting products and driving sales marketing and customer engagement.
- Marketing Assistants handle tasks like researching and reporting marketing material and tracking program conversions.
Automation can perform some tasks faster and cheaper. Companies should analyze cost savings and efficiency achieved through automating certain tasks to determine the impact on the organization. If you automate to increase productivity and improve accuracy, there will be more time for strategic thinking to enhance sales marketing and customer initiatives.
How AI Will Affect Marketing and Selling Initiatives
By automating within the marketing role using AI, marketing professionals at all levels can better focus on marketing and selling initiatives.
Humans have emotional intelligence, critical thinking, intuition, feeling, emotion, and keen judgment to manage marketing and selling strategies and initiatives that increase revenue and sales.
Marketing roles today require human intelligence, knowledge, experience, skills, and interactions to:
- Lead a marketing team with unique personalities, responsibilities, goals, and career paths
- Manage, build, develop relationships with customers, prospects, partners and media
- Engage in meaningful live conversations with customers, prospects, or partners
AI can free marketing personnel’s time for high-thinking, critical problem-solving functions, increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Thus, executives can make crucial decisions based on better information, increasing profitability. AI, technology, and automation can increase productivity and effectiveness.
