Telefonbots mit Tiefgang: Wie KI deine Einwandbehandlung revolutioniert   In dieser Episode nehmen wir dich mit in ein Live-Experiment, das so realistisch ist, dass du vergessen könntest, dass am anderen Ende der Leitung kein Mensch sitzt. Es geht um einen KI-basierten Telefonbot, der für ein Verkaufstraining der Extraklasse genutzt wird... inklusive echter Einwände, versteckter Bedenken und smarter Argumentationen. Entwickelt mit Fonio AI und live demonstriert von Peter Raehse, Experte für Conversational AI am Koerting Institute. Warum das alles nicht nur Spielerei ist, sondern echtes Business-Gamechanger-Potenzial hat, erfährst du hier.   Peter Raehse auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-raehse/   Fonio AI als Plattform – die neue Art, Telefonie zu denken Statt klassischer Tools wie Voiceflow & Co. kommt hier eine All-in-One-Lösung ins Spiel: Fonio AI. Sie erlaubt es, Telefonbots komplett zu konfigurieren – mit natürlichen Gesprächsverläufen und kontextbezogener Intelligenz. Kein stockender Smalltalk, keine sinnlosen Menüs. Der Bot simuliert echte Verkaufs- oder Bewerbungsgespräche, in denen du als Nutzer lernen kannst, gezielt auf Einwände zu reagieren. Das spart nicht nur Zeit, sondern bringt dich in eine Trainingssituation, die realistischer kaum sein könnte.   Von der Idee zur Umsetzung... ein Bot, viele Möglichkeiten Die Idee: Ein Telefonbot, der als Gesprächspartner in einer Verkaufssimulation agiert – und dir nicht sagt, was sein Einwand ist. Deine Aufgabe? Ihn erkennen, ernst nehmen und lösen. Peter Raehse hat genau das in wenigen Stunden umgesetzt. Das System kreiert eine Persona mit echten Emotionen und lässt dich deine Argumentationsfähigkeit auf die Probe stellen. Was wie ein simples Szenario klingt, ist in Wahrheit ein hochkomplexer, KI-gesteuerter Rollentausch. Ideal für Verkaufsteams, Coachings oder individuelle Vorbereitung auf reale Gesprächssituationen.   Die Masterclass als Use Case – und ein Vertriebsprofi im Test In der Live-Demo wird die KI Masterclass als Produkt gewählt. Der Bot simuliert typische Einwände: zu teuer, zu wenig Zeit, zu viel Technik, familiäre Bedenken. Schritt für Schritt zeigt unser Vertriebsexperte Torsten Kohnert, wie du diese Einwände souverän behandelst – mit Empathie, echten Beispielen und klarem Nutzenversprechen. Besonders spannend: Der Bot bewertet am Ende die Qualität der Einwandbehandlung. So wird aus einem trockenen Szenario ein echtes Lernfeld mit sofortigem Feedback.   Fazit – Das Potenzial für Training, Coaching und Skalierung ist riesig Diese Episode zeigt eindrucksvoll, was mit KI und Conversational AI heute schon möglich ist. Und das ist erst der Anfang. Ob für Bewerbungstraining, Vertrieb oder Kundenservice: Die Kombination aus realistischer Simulation und sofortigem Feedback macht dieses Tool zu einem echten Booster für Kommunikation und Performance. Wenn du mit deinem Team regelmäßig Verkaufsgespräche führst oder Coachings anbietest, ist das ein Setup, das du dir genauer anschauen solltest.         Noch mehr von den Koertings ...  Das KI-Café ... jede Woche Mittwoch (>350 Teilnehmer) von 08:30 bis 10:00 Uhr ... online via Zoom .. kostenlos und nicht umsonst Jede Woche Mittwoch um 08:30 Uhr öffnet das KI-Café seine Online-Pforten ... wir lösen KI-Anwendungsfälle live auf der Bühne ... moderieren Expertenpanel zu speziellen Themen (bspw.

Almut spürt es an den Fingerkuppen und denkt Smalltalk neu; Julian geht nie zum Arzt und hat noch seine Leber.

To we introverts, small talk can feel pointless at best and like a trap at worst. Yet what if we have it all wrong. Small talk is not the enemy of meaningful conversation, but the currency of connection and the gateway to the deeper exchanges we long for. In this episode I shine a light on why it matters, why avoiding it can leave us misunderstood and sidelined, and how we can finally handle it on our own terms. I suggest we think of small talk not as something to avoid at all costs, but as a bridge or portal to richer conversations. Once you cross it with intention you will discover trust, influence and connection waiting on the other side. This is not about becoming a chatterbox, it is about owning our presence authentically and making small talk work for us.   ** Key Points **   Small talk reframed Gateway to depth Connection as currency     #SmallTalk #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Hour 2- Geoff Calkins on CFB Week 1 and Memphis Football, Around the NFL, and Small Talk

Maed in India is 10 YEARS OLD and we’re going back to 2018. It was a year of hip hop, prog rock, pop, RnB and some unforgettable Maed moments: we hit our 150th episode (!!), got roasted by Benny Dayal’s band Funktuation, and chatted with the gals from Ladies Compartment about feminism and constipation in the same breath. Essentials, I tell you. We also heard Smalltalk and Enkore jam on a song nobody can agree on the name of, had a band vanish from social media, and discovered how one drunk best friend’s wild interpretation of a riff ended up inspiring a whole music video. The intro voice over this week is by Agent Q (aka Quoyina), talking about her experiments with ink and orange juice as a kid to channel her inner detective.

She is the author of Unforgettable Presence: Get Seen, Gain Influence, and Catapult Your Career. Small talk. We all love to hate it – and we also know that most of us will end up in small talk with someone who's got a lot of influence. It may be an executive or an external stakeholder. Either way, handling it well can open up doors. In this conversation, Lorraine and I detail how to make small talk go better. Key Points Small talk is the starting point before a deeper relationship. Most opportunities for executive small talk are predictable. Preparation will help you speak well. Set the tone with positive energy. Rather than dominating the interaction or passively reacting to it, thread your conversations so each party shares equally. At the office, be ready with a sentence or two about who you work with and what you're working on. Relationships and outcomes are more memorable than titles. At social events, share a hobby or interest and ask about theirs. Keep questions open-ended as you would with a friend. Have a topic ready to go for quick interactions. Sharing a thought about a book or podcast that relates to your organization is a useful resource to have at the ready. Review your go-to topics regularly so that you always have a relevant conversation topic. Resources Mentioned Unforgettable Presence: Get Seen, Gain Influence, and Catapult Your Career by Lorraine K.
