This training is designed for sales representatives, business developers, and CRM managers who want to integrate artificial intelligence into their sales processes. A basic understanding of sales and CRM is sufficient to participate. Participants first explore the fundamentals of AI applied to sales—machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI—before addressing concrete use cases: lead scoring, sales forecasting, offer personalization, and opportunity detection. The training also covers the preparation and quality of CRM data, the creation of dashboards with key performance indicators (conversion rates, RFM segmentation, Pareto analysis), as well as machine learning concepts focused on churn prediction and lead scoring. Generative AI also plays a central role: participants learn to use tools like ChatGPT to automate prospecting, produce sales content, and formulate effective prompts, while taking into account the tool’s limitations and the need for human oversight. The training concludes with a mini-project—a prospecting assistant or scoring pipeline—applied to a real CRM file.
