Why AI cant be a side project in enablement anymore

AI isnt a shiny object anymore. Its the baseline. But most companies are still in the early innings of figuring out how to make it stick.

80% of reps are using AI but a very small percentage are actually confident in how theyre using it, said Larkin Dahal during 窪蹋勛圖厙s recent Future of AI Enablement webinar. That stat from Salesforce was echoed throughout the event.

Heres what we heard again and again:

  • Reps are experimenting with ChatGPT, but usage is random
  • AI knowledge sits with a few curious reps, but not scaled across the team
  • Leaders want to improve rep productivity but dont know how to measure AIs actual impact

This playbook is for enablement pros who are ready to change that.

Common mistakes that undermine your AI strategy

Matt Payne, founder of Sales Boost Consulting, didnt hold back.

Dont just use this to be efficient. We want to be efficient but also effective.

Here are three traps to avoid:

1. Measuring usage, not outcomes

More automation doesnt equal better results. Matt warned that AI is often used to speed up bad workflows AI is multiplying bad emails. Its just blasting more of them now.

2. Treating prompts like Google searches

Most reps dont know how to prompt well. Thats not their fault. Garbage in, garbage out, said Matt. Teaching reps how to prompt isnt a nice-to-have, its a new core skill.

3. Skipping the basics on privacy

Don't assume everyone knows whats safe to plug into public tools. You must set clear boundaries and prioritize tools that protect customer data.

Better prompts start with better structure

If you take one thing from this playbook, let it be this: teach your team how to prompt with intention.

Matt broke it down into six elements that power high-quality responses:

Prompt Element

What to Include
  • Role: Youre a sales coach with 10+ years in SaaS色
  • Outcome: Create a playbook to improve discovery calls色
  • Specifics: Include KPIs, coaching tips, pitfalls色
  • Context: Were a 30-rep team selling to mid-market CTOs色
  • Tone: Make it professional and concise色
  • Length: Keep each section under 200 words色
AI Prompt Tips

AI isnt magic. But with the right prompt, it feels like it is. Matt Payne

Another favorite takeaway: save your best prompts.

Build a gallery. Make it easy for your team to reuse what works.
