Buy platform capabilities such as LLM access, safety, and CDP/Reverse ETL. Build light proprietary models (propensity, churn) and integrate via your warehouse.

How do I use AI to scale ABX efforts?

Scale ABX with a closed-loop AI system: centralize identity & events, deploy propensity and churn/expand models to prioritize accounts, use LLM+RAG to personalize outreach from approved content, trigger plays in CRM/sales engagement, and measure lift with holdouts. Govern accuracy and ethics via guardrails, prompts, approvals, and monitoring.

First Principles for AI-Powered ABX

Outcome first — Pick 2–3 use cases tied to pipeline or retention (e.g., propensity + message drafting).

Identity spine — Shared account_id/person_id across CRM, MAP, CDP, and warehouse so models join cleanly.

Right model for the job — Predictive for scoring & timing; generative for content; rules for eligibility/compliance.

RAG over raw LLM — Ground outputs in approved assets (case studies, ICP notes, style guide) to reduce hallucinations.

Human-in-the-loop — Require review on high-risk steps; allow 1-click accept/edit for sellers and CSMs.

Real-time activation — Push scores and drafts back to CRM/sales tools via Reverse ETL or native connectors within minutes.

Privacy & consent — Enforce use-policy, data residency, and opt-in/opt-out propagation across channels and models.

Measure incrementality — Use A/B or geo/account holdouts; track lift in meetings, opps, win rate, and cycle time.

Your 90-Day AI for ABX Plan

Stand up prioritized use cases, wire activation, and harden governance—fast.

Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3

Days 1–30: Discover & Ready Data — Select 2–3 use cases; define success metrics & guardrails; audit data & identity coverage; assemble prompt library and RAG corpus; baseline current conversion/latency.
Days 31–60: Pilot & Activate — Train or configure propensity/churn models; generate message drafts with LLM+RAG; connect triggers (intent/product usage) to CRM & sales engagement; enable human review; launch controlled pilots with holdouts.
Days 61–90: Scale & Govern — Add Reverse ETL for score/draft delivery; publish style & prompt guides; implement monitoring (drift, toxicity, PII); automate approvals for low-risk plays; roll out to new segments and CS.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI for ABX

Clear, pragmatic answers for RevOps, MOps, Sales Ops, and CS.

Where should we start?

Start with account propensity scoring and LLM-assisted message drafting. They impact pipeline fast and are easy to A/B test with holdouts.

Build or buy?

Buy platform capabilities (LLM access, safety, CDP/Reverse ETL). Build light models where your data is proprietary (propensity, churn) and integrate via your warehouse.

How do we keep content on-brand?

Use a style guide, approved snippets, and RAG grounding. Add persona- and industry-specific prompts, plus mandatory human review on first-touch emails.

What about privacy and consent?

Centralize preferences, mask or exclude PII from prompts, log prompt/response, and block activation if consent parity checks fail across systems.

How do we measure impact?

Use account-level holdouts. Track incremental lift in meeting rate, opp creation, win rate, cycle time, and rep time saved. Refresh models and prompts based on these results.
