AI is not as effective as you think it is
The biggest flaw of AI is like a salesman paradox. Just like with salesman, they become a little sociopathic over time because when you’re commission based only, your emotions get so suppressed that you forget what it’s like when someone tries to sell you something. You start shifting your mind into a “If they say no it’s their loss” but the truth is some people truly don’t need your product, don’t care for it, or your product just may suck if you really took time to assess why no one wants to buy it or if they keep giving negative reviews. But salesman don’t see it that way. They see it as a “okay NEXT” way of life. And it’s a terrible way of life. There’s more to life than constantly living off commissions. Eventually, you need passive income and time freedom. Which most commissioned roles like being an agents or sales rep don’t give you for a while. Which is why I see the attraction towards utilizing AI to help you “automate” and make more money. However, if you look at the data of how many people in the United States dislike and outright hate AI use, it should make you reconsider what you use AI for. “Virtually all Americans dislike robocalls, with surveys showing that an overwhelming majority—up to 94% of U.S. adults—find them annoying and disruptive.”
This took a simple Google search to find and look into surveys about this. If you hate robocalls and AI calls, what makes you think your prospect will like them? Just because you have something to sell, doesn’t mean anyone is obligated to buy. There’s a few gurus I see selling courses and systems on automating your calls. Huge red flag already given practically everyone hates getting a robo call but agents and investors gobble it up and think they’re being productive. I’ve yet to truly find anyone prove to me that because of utilizing AI agents for their calls, it actually made them more money. Heck, even an investor I spoke with last week said he’s making thousands of calls a week to cold call homeowners to get deals for his wholesale business. If you have to make thousands of calls, that doesn’t sound very effective to me and it sounds like a pending lawsuit eventually when a litigator catches you. There are laws against using automations for cold calls.
But people are going to do what they’re going to do. I just advise not to buy into the hype of using this for any of your prospecting. That wholesaler making thousands of calls a week still hasn’t gotten a deal this month just FYI. Because if you do what everyone else is doing, then you no longer stand out. This is the AI paradox happening just like the salesman paradox. You think more means more effective. But really, it’s just more busy work.
