Don’t fear the new robot overlords! AI is here to help.
Everyone’s talking about AI these days; and the tech developments of the last few years have been truly awe-inspiring. Just as we always like to be at the very cutting edge of our signage technology here at FASTSIGNS, we also want to embrace the very latest in software innovation.
However, we understand many people have mixed feelings about how AI could and should work for them in their businesses and places of employment. Just like any other tool, its power and effectiveness as a positive force lies in the hands of those who use it.
Which is why AI will never replace anyone at FASTSIGNS; our success has always centred around real human interaction. So, just like everything else we do here at FASTSIGNS, our use of AI is designed to help our real flesh and blood partners play to their strengths. It’s all about helping franchisees build a stronger business, streamline their day-to-day activities, and maintain their desired work-life balance.
This is also why we are not relying on any 3rd-party, public platforms, such as ChatGPT, but have instead built our own proprietary software called JumpStart to reduce workloads, help our franchisees maintain optimum staffing levels, enhance their product offerings, and reduce overheads. Among its many and ever-growing functions are:
Perfecting your marketing
JumpStart is preloaded with FASTSIGNS branding guidelines, tone of voice guidelines, and messaging template, to help our franchisees communicate consistently and effectively with customers. This means you’ll be able to quickly and easily make the best use of FASTSIGNS’ brand voice and recognition across all your communications. It can even help you write blogs and social media content to promote your business, automatically responding to Google reviews if you don’t have time.
Enhanced sales support
With marketing messaging and templates already loaded in, Jumpstart can help you create the perfect quotes and follow-up messages in no time. No more hours spent on repetitive emailing, you gain time to build relationships with your customers, which are the absolute cornerstone of business success in our industry.
Streamlining data insights
AI-powered data analysis, which can work both network-wide and for individual regions and offices, means our head office teams access key insights in a fraction of the time they used to. This allows them to create strategic level support, as well as bespoke assistance to partner within the network, quickly and efficiently. More than ever before, they can be right there for you whenever you need them, instead of being bogged down in manual data handling.
Artwork and Proposal Generation
Jumpstart can even help you put together the artwork for customer proposals. Nothing will ever replace the creative genius of you and your team, of course, but by helping you create basic artwork and templates to spark your creative power, you’ll save time and always be sure of the highest level of responsiveness for your clients.
How can we be so sure our Jumpstart AI is effective in doing all of this? Well, we’ve not only used our own extensive expertise to create its systems and applications but we’re also continuously feeding it data from users working in all 779 FASTSIGNS centres across nine countries, so it’s constantly learning and improving. The results are already very impressive and, just like with the humans it helps, we can’t wait to be inspired by just how much it could achieve in the future.
The only limitations are our franchisees’ own imaginations. There’s so much potential to be realised, but that creative impetus still lies very much in the hands of our present – and future – partners.
Are you ready to take the next step in creating the future you deserve with our help?
If so, there’s never been a better time to get in touch to learn more!
