I'm not sure my colleagues or contemporaries understand the gravity of what has happened and what is happening right now - not in three, 10, or 20 years from now. This very second.
AI eliminates spreadsheets, SEO, Websites, A/R clerks, CFOs, and middlemen - and dealers are middlemen.
In the last TWO WEEKS, I have noticed the number of ChatGPT connectors growing from a dozen to HUNDREDS.
San Fransisco, that poop-on-the-sidewalk nirvana is even reporting an increase in VC events, growth in the number of residents, and more bootstrap companies - all in AI.
Seriously - whatever you thought you knew about AI in the copier industry forget. That's not AI, that was rote, spreadsheet mechanics.
And forget about worrying over OEMs, their new machines, huge ink buckets, or the annual numbers - they don't get it either.
Pay attention to the first OEM to tell you they've engaged AI to handle customer service calls. DIRECTLY WITH THE CUSTOMER.
AI eliminates spreadsheets, SEO, Websites, A/R clerks, CFOs, and middlemen - and dealers are middlemen.
If you think your future does not include AI, you are wrong.
What should you do?
Learn ChatGPT. Get a team together and figure out what it is, and how it can be used to increase sales, reduce costs and grow profits - for you, your clients, and your prospects.
Not today. Yesterday.
