Easy Peasy AI Squeezy

I asked the AI for the least inspiring inspirational poster and I weirdly like it pic.twitter.com/gaxWyL33QB

Casandra or Pollyanna? Which are you? Perhaps of greater import, how about your prospect?

Even if you feel it's too early to tell, preferring to take the 'let's wait and see' road, unsure of how on a transactional basis our selling tasks may get uprooted, you'll surely hold a view on the 'image gen' capabilities of the new bots.

You needn't have gone down the time thief rabbit hole of producing a digital version of yourself - in whatever flavour of Ghibli, Lego people or 9-inch-tall toy action figure trends on any given day - to glimpse the power of the AI visual mock-up.

As with all such deployments in the sales furnace, if your audience considers what you do a bit too gimmicky, it may well count against you.

How apt would be a remix of the famed 'love-happiness' quote from Bertrand Russell?

Of all forms of caution, caution in love selling is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness closing.

In which case, give it a test.

A useful baby step can be how I myself have used AI when delivering my workshops on Idea Generation across video meetings.

Chiefly as when I hear someone say 'you can't brainstorm over video', I know they're typically not serious about video calling. To use the learning term, they are presently 'unconsciously incompetent'.

Whether you've a severe case of writer's block, or mere creative stumbling, asking AI can be a useful way to spark your next step.

Which is how the above output shared perked my sales antennae.

It is a little piece of bot gold. That rare diamond in the seam of interminable coal darkness. Hitting its mark more than the actual 'motivational' purveyors.

Many of the commentors note this glory (particularly that poet*) amid the fervour (of at time of posting 42 others) to produce their own.

Even the font is uninspired!
The image is actually pretty inspiring :)
The border color is *chef’s kiss*. If meh was a color
Makes me want to get off the couch and do something… at least for a bit
Better than a bunch of trust-fund babies turned motivational finance influencers, telling me to hustle
Minimum viable inspiration?
Printing poster. Putting on office wall.
this is kinda fire
When the time comes, that robots come for us all, at least we have this one example of empathy.

You might not quite want these reactions in the field. Yet positive glow you do.

A key to get you going is knowing what place to start from.

Some prior prep will make all the difference.

Ready to show for quick inspo.

Ask your bot of choice what a particular product might look like in ten years. Make a slogan poster for their vision. Imagine a machine which could do something not yet possible.

The possibilities might be infinite. All you want them for is to bring a start that's definite.

*lyrical flourish as from The Ritual Frequency @spaceshipearth;

Cracked earth beneath,
no rain in sight,
a flower leans into the fight.
Not for glory,
not for gain,
but because the ache itself
is worth the strain.
It won’t work out.
Still
we bloom.
