Maximizing Your ChatGPT Experience: Tips to Get the Best Results

Man on Computer AI WCS

A recent surge in the B2B industry has businesses racing to adopt OpenAI's ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that's revolutionizing content creation. Anna Rubkiewicz, co-founder of Contentki, humorously examines the chatbot's capabilities, asking whether ChatGPT is the future of business assistance or just a glorified robotic intern.

With an impressive 13 million unique daily visitors, it's evident that ChatGPT's charm is irresistible. However, Rubkiewicz playfully reminds users that "Just like humans, the tool can occasionally generate inaccurate or misleading information." So, while businesses can deploy ChatGPT for research or content generation, they should remember that fact-checking is still a human responsibility.

Despite ChatGPT's "eloquence," Rubkiewicz points out that it lacks the emotional intelligence of a human writer. She suggests treating the chatbot as an assistant, not a replacement. "You can treat the content it creates as inspiration or a starting point. But don't use it as your final draft," she advises. After all, the chatbot is no match for the flair of human creativity.

HubSpot Announces Major 2023 Product Updates for Business Growth

Execs at desk AI WCS

Big news this month coming out of HubSpot as they announce major updates to their product suite, aiming to revolutionize customer support, employee productivity, and marketing efficiency.

One of the biggest items to note: Users can now create multiple knowledge bases, which allows users to create and manage several distinct knowledge areas for different purposes or even different audiences. This is important because this now enables you to better organize and deliver targeted information to specific customer segments or internal teams, and ultimately improve your customer support and employee productivity.

Another noteworthy update is the integration of Meeting Data into Customer Journey Analytics, providing a comprehensive view of customer interactions inside this cool new(ish) tool that HubSpot rolled out last year. With meeting data, you will be able to track the overall conversion rate in various funnels rather than digging through aggregate data.

Other significant updates worth mentioning include Forecast Insights, which offer valuable predictions and insights about sales pipelines and revenue targets. Colored deal tags, deal board UI enhancements, and customizable deal creator forms streamline the sales process and improve data quality.

They also made huge strides for our developer friends out there who need more flexibility and customization options inside the CRM with the release of GraphQL API for CRM card customization, meaning you can now customize and tailor your CRM experience to meet unique situations and views. Other features released include random split lists for effective audience segmentation, and custom properties for marketing campaigns (one of our personal favorites!).

Don't miss out on the rest of the groundbreaking updates! Read the full release notes here.

HubSpot LAUNCHES AI-POWERED TOOLS TO BOOST MARKETING AND SALES EFFICIENCY

ChatSpot.ai, on the other hand, helps users complete a variety of tasks using a natural language chat-based user experience.

What are transactional emails and how do they relate to thank-you emails in email marketing?

Transactional emails are often overlooked by marketers but are highly effective in engaging prospects. These types of emails are triggered by a specific action taken by the contact and provide details related to that action. The marketer's equivalent to transactional emails is the thank-you email, which is an automated message triggered when visitors convert on landing pages. Recipients anticipate and engage with these emails because they help them complete an action. Thank-you emails are effective for two main reasons: they place content directly in the contact's inbox and provide opportunities for content sharing.

Thank-you emails are twice as engaging as general marketing emails, generating a 42% open rate and a 14% CTR compared to a 12% open rate and a 6% CTR for one-off dedicated marketing emails. Marketers should start applying simple thank-you emails triggered by landing page conversions and optimize them by including calls-to-action for high-value marketing offers that will move leads further along in the sales cycle. Additionally, including social media sharing buttons/links in the thank-you email can encourage content sharing and help reach a brand new audience. Marketers should also consider using Smart CTAs that adapt to individual email recipients to create more targeted and effective email marketing.
