Over the past several weeks, people have been talking more and more about how AI will change everything.
Yet, AI has been around for decades.
But more people are discovering new ways that AI will make things more E.L.F. (Easy, Lucrative, and Fun).
For the most part, it will build on what we already know and make things faster. In other words, it won’t change the fundamental rules of business. And it definitely won’t take away from the importance of having good relationships.
In my book, “What’s In It For Them?” I outline everything I’ve ever learned about rapport, connection, and relationships. And at least 3 principles in it relate to the problem of AI and business relationships:
- Invest your T.A.M.E.E. (Time, Attention, Money, Energy and Effort) in Relationships. Once customers catch on that businesses are outsourcing their T.A.M.E.E. to AI, those once-strong connections could start to feel cheap and manufactured.
- Treat Others as They Would Love to be Treated. When we have a problem, we want to really be listened to—not passed off to a chatbot.
- Get as Close to In-Person as Possible. Though AI will get better at imitating our voices and mannerisms, relying on it too much doesn’t feel “in-person”… it actually can feel pretty alienating.
The point is NOT that we should avoid AI. The point is that people always forget one thing when it comes to the effect it will have on the world: It will make emotional intelligence and self-awareness a lot more valuable. Ironically, as technology makes things more impersonal and convenient, people crave human connection even more—and it usually becomes even harder to find. With so much tech buzz going around, there’s never been a better time to strengthen our fundamental relationship skills.
And in my book, I talk about everything I’ve learned in my entire career about how to do just that. As parts of AI turn out to be better in theory than practice, and other parts stay with us for a long time, just remember: Don’t let shiny new things distract you from the core of what makes you and your business better!
