Using Ai got me a free drink and a new friend, at a bar the other night. This story didn't happen in a dealership, but it could have. I was at the bar and the bartender overheard me discussing AI with my friend. The bartender approached me and asked me if I could create an image for him based on something he had been thinking about, so I whipped out my phone and three minutes later I had already sent him the image and he was ecstatic. He bought me a drink and more importantly we talked, got to know each other and formed a connection. We were both interested in music and his request.opened the door to an interesting discussion about music and life. You see, my ability to understand and use AI allowed me to create something for him that made him heard and understood. Isn't that what everyone including customers want?
This didn't happen in a car dealership, but it could have. A quick use of AI formed the connection that cemented an interesting evening of discussion. The same thing could happen with sales people and customers. AI doesn't have to be impersonal. It can actually amplify personality, interests and connections.

Let me know if any of you have similar stories . I would love to hear them,

Jamie
