It’s coming. The biggest revolution in workflow since the PC.
I let go my marketing person about a year ago, didn’t have the ongoing work. Now i’ve got a bunch of marketing work I need done, and I don’t need to hire a marketing person.
I built an entire website, with text, and graphics in a short afternoon. With verbage and calls to action that would’ve taken me weeks of revisions to accomplish.
Hopefully today I’m doing two whitepapers. Would take me many days and again, many revisions, to get what I figure will take me an hour.
I need to build out a marketing plan. I’ve already decided the basics, but there’s a lot to flesh out. Again, it’ll be like a 20 minute session on chatgpt and I’ll have a full marketing plan to implement.
That’s weeks and weeks of work for a marketing person with all that expense. And if I went full tilt on chatgpt, maybe a day to get all of that done?
Other examples; in Canada they have parameds call to do health interview questions. It’s almost trivial to have this workflow instead:
app gets submitted to system, 24/7
immediately triggers a text to the proposed insured with a phone number to call ‘now’ and do the health questionnaire.
they call, maybe even saturday night at 11pm.
Ai takes them through the medical questionnaire, including followup questions.
Transcribes the questionniare, attachs it to the client record.
next morning the underwriter rolls in and they have a new application to underwrite and the medical history questionnaire is already attached.
This would take days off the time to issue - which results in increased sales. And it’s waaaaay cheaper than having a paremed person do it. And it’s more consistent than a paramed. And more convenient for the consumer.
That’s less a big deal in the US I think, I think they can get a lot of info through automated methods (pharmacy, doctors records, etc) but that stuff is not available except through written requests in Canada, so the health history questionnaire is still the basis. First company to do this is going to revolutionize things.
Nevermind the slew of simplified issue/underwriting products that I’m sure are in hot development right now using Ai to underwrite.
Oh, and I got on this because a while ago my friend and business mentor texted me that my website was the shiet. I sat in my truck in the Canadian Tire parking lot on a Sunday afternoon for a half hour while he went back and forth with ChatGPT and rebuilt my website for me. It took me a few weeks to implement, but the increase in sales was immediate and substantial.
And it KNOWS marketing stuff, like calls to action and EAT and authority and whitepapers.
It may not be an actual paramed, but they typically use some folks with some amount of medical knowledge - so they can ask followup questions.
The folks i’ve seen are often nurses doing side-gigs for the tele company.
Due to inadequate space for new staff, I was moved from my office to a cubicle (albeit with a nice large window view). We were told we’d be moving to a much larger building next year. Now we learn that the other existing tenant in that building needs more of the space, which takes precedence over our move. So we’re back to square (or cubicle) one.
They made a big push to get people back in the office at the beginning of this year.
During the summer (warmer weather) people were largely fine with it. Office 1-2x/week even though desk situation was not great.
Now that the weather is awful, people are reverting back to going into the office less than 1x/week.
It also doesn’t help that they haven’t fixed the hot desk situation. Its basically become impossible to book a desk Tue to Th because there are simply not enough desks.
This whole thing is just veering into the nonsensical at this point.
I have a similar experience. Need to book Tuesday at least two weeks in advance or you won’t get a desk but in practice the office is still 25%+ unoccupied on Tuesday
My company has made a push several times to get people to go in multiple times a week, but it hasn’t taken off. I’ve heard they’re considering mandating 3 days in office. Most of our actuarial team and my manager are remote, so there isn’t any reason for me to go in more than 1x/ week.
So more employees than spots. I am surprised no one asks the question in all company town halls about how the inability to count might cause questions about management competence.
We quickly went from anonymous questions, to public questions, to curated questions in advance, to now no questions on Slido.
To be fair, the anonymous questions did result in too many (more than zero) racist and sexist comments. But no opportunity for questions is also very bad.
