Step by step, you’ll develop a clear and immediately actionable approach to increasing visibility, generating qualified leads, and building lasting customer relationships. AI serves as an intelligent co-pilot in this process: it supports you with research, content, and outreach—but the crucial connection with the customer is still made on a person-to-person basis.

  • communicate your expertise in a way that is visible and relevant to your target audience,
  • Build trust with potential customers through relevant content,
  • Using AI tools and prompts authentically and efficiently,
  • Develop contacts into structured, meaningful conversations,
  • establish a personalized and systematic business development process,
  • Get started right away with a concrete 30-day plan.
  • The content of this training supports the requirement to demonstrate efforts to promote AI literacy as defined in Article 4 of the EU AI Regulation.

Instructor-led sessions and practical exercises alternate with guided individual and group activities. You’ll work on your own LinkedIn profile in real time and develop specific text modules for your outreach strategy and content planning. AI tools such as ChatGPT are used directly during the training and tested in real-world sales scenarios. Collaborative exchanges, peer feedback, and moderated discussions promote the transfer of knowledge. You’ll leave the training with a ready-to-use prompt library and a personalized 30-day action plan.
