ChatGPT    Recent    Archives    MRSware
ChatGPT has been dominating the news cycle of late.  It is a natural language model, an artificial intelligence trained to give human-like responses to regular questions.  The interesting part is that questions can build on previous answers, so you end up progressing and refining the conversation to distill information until you get what you are after.

I recently explored on the MRSware.com Blog what ChatGPT itself thought it could do for independent reps.  We had a little chat and ended up focused on sales rep training, both in generic sales training offerings available, and diving specifically into the Jan/San industry to see if I could get a couple of references that I recognized (MRSware has a lot of users in that industry, so I was bound to recognize some of the names, and indeed was not let down.  Take a look at the article on the Blog to see where we left off; then circle back here for a follow-up for Newsletter subscribers:

How can ChatGPT help me prospect leads?

This time, let's just start with the industry-specific query, to see if we can generate some actionable names to pursue right from go...  Our example rep agency has been calling on Distributors in our industry for quite some time, but is now being asked to facilitate more pull-through sales from the End Users.  Let's call on the local school districts first:

Me: What are the local school districts around the Hanover, NH area?
ChatGPT: The Hanover, NH area is served by several school districts. Here are some of the local school districts in the area:

  1. Dresden School District: The Dresden School District serves the towns of Hanover, Norwich, and Dresden, and includes Hanover High School, Frances C. Richmond Middle School, and several elementary schools.

  2. SAU 70 School District: The SAU 70 School District serves the towns of Hanover and Norwich, and includes Marion Cross School, Bernice A. Ray School, and several other schools.

  3. Mascoma Valley Regional School District: The Mascoma Valley Regional School District serves the towns of Enfield, Canaan, Dorchester, Grafton, and Orange, and includes Mascoma Valley Regional High School, Indian River School, and several elementary schools.

  4. Lebanon School District: The Lebanon School District serves the city of Lebanon, and includes Lebanon High School, Lebanon Middle School, and several elementary schools.

  5. Hartford School District: The Hartford School District serves the town of Hartford, VT, which is located just across the Connecticut River from Hanover, NH. The district includes Hartford High School, Hartford Memorial Middle School, and several elementary schools.

These are just a few of the school districts in the Hanover, NH area.

That's a good start.  I probably could have found the names through other means as well, but this was certainly quick, and I like the added detail about which towns they are serving.  That's one of the interesting parts about what you are getting with ChatGPT -- you never know what additional info it might spit out, perhaps some things you didn't even think to explore yet.
