Here's What ChatGPT Said About Go for No!

by Andrea Waltz

Happy 2023!

2023?! If you could, let me know what happened to 2021, okay? Things seem to be going really fast. I guess that's life. And change.

Speaking of change, if you pay close attention to the latest trends in technology, you may have recently heard about something called “ChatGPT.”

What is it? Think of it this way: The smartest, fastest “Google-ish” search + Artificial Intelligence + Online Chat.

It’s a platform online where users ask questions or for creations (for example: “write a love song in the style of Dolly Parton”) and the chatbot will give answers, write blog posts, or do whatever it's instructed to do. Oh, and it’s learning and getting better all the time.

ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, from OpenAI an artificial intelligence company that is apparently already valued at $29 billion.

We were curious if this thing would have an answer to: “What does it mean to, Go for No?” Here is the opening line of the definition:

“Go for No is a sales and marketing strategy that encourages individuals and teams to embrace rejection as a necessary step towards success.”

It’s as good an answer as anything we’ve ever shared. (I guess that's the “artificial intelligence” part at work.)

So, then I asked, “Is Go for No a manipulative or aggressive sales strategy?”

Here is the answer: "This strategy is not necessarily manipulative or aggressive, but it may be seen as such if it is implemented in a way that is pushy or insincere. The key is to approach potential customers with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to understand their needs and offer solutions that can help them.

Wow. This thing is better than us. If it starts getting hired to speak we are in real trouble.

Things are changing fast. The future is going to be interesting, isn't it?

Embrace rather than fear change and things are easier. We wish you a fantastic year ahead.
