6 AI Tools to Make Building Business Relationships 10 Times Easier

Building strong business connections has always been a cornerstone of success. Creating meaningful relationships and nurturing professional bonds with a wide variety of people can unlock exciting opportunities and collaborations, driving growth, influence and impact. But as I keep telling my students, while human communication hasn't changed much in thousands of years, artificial intelligence (AI) opens up new means to do so, claiming to overtake many aspects of communication and make it more efficient.

As I've been researching the practices and evolution of business relationships for over a decade, there are several core issues people face around business networking:

• One key challenge is the false perception individuals hold of themselves in relation to networking — they either "have it" or not.
• The second key challenge is the fact that building relationships takes time and energy, and people often lack the motivation to "work" on their networking to achieve those valuable connections and ultimately, desired results.

So, can AI replace the human touch in connecting with others?

This is a common question I pose during my worldwide lectures. My answer is: I don't believe so for the current version of AI, but it can be used to support the "groundwork" aspects of networking.

Networking work consists of many small, repetitive actions such as: researching others, identifying common ground, effective communication, composing emails, creating social media posts and skillful follow-ups (where many of us tend to fail). With that in mind, the integration of artificial intelligence and networking has the potential to create a new era of efficiency, personalization and unparalleled insights than ever before.
​
This is why I would like to share common networking use cases and highlight some transformative AI tools that, if harnessed effectively, can literally reshape and support how we connect with others, cultivate our personal brand, expand our networks, establish meaningful connections and navigate the realm of business relationships towards business results.
