Live analysis and optimisation of a website

Website checks and more: Into the new year with momentum!

/in , /by

The new year brings fresh energy – and why not start right away with measures that offer real added value? Our online meeting on the topic of website checks, which took place on Thursday, December 12, provided successful inspiration for this. The response was so positive that we are sure of it: 2025 is literally calling out for a new edition!

Why website checks are a must

Regular website checks are actually a basic requirement for anyone working in sales or marketing. But hand on heart – how often do you actually think about it? Our event with “Full Stack Web Developer” Alexander Bader showed impressively why it is worth not putting this point on the back burner. Because it’s not just about technical details, but also about real success stories that can be created right before your eyes. Together with our expert, we took a live look at a selected WordPress website. We went through the check process step by step, presented our tools, defined requirements and demonstrated the system of a professional website check. No question was left unanswered – and we were even able to fix minor problems directly.

Impressive results in just two hours

The results? Simply amazing! Within two hours, not only was the website noticeably optimized, but it also became clear that such checks are far more than just an annoying compulsory exercise. With the right approach, they can be really fun – and deliver a real sense of achievement.

Fresh motivation for 2025

We are starting the new year with this momentum and look forward to more inspiring events. True to the motto: See you in 2025!

Cooperation between development and sales - From national to international positioning

Innovation & sales: international success together

/in , /by
2 Min.

Success in innovation is primarily based on two pillars: the progress that the newly developed product brings with it and the sales channel that is used to consistently market the new product. The fact that many valuable innovation approaches in companies fall by the wayside is primarily due to the fact that sales and innovation do not communicate enough with each other.

Promoting synergies between development and sales

In order to pave the way here and to be able to transfer these into best-practice examples, we have set up our working group “Sales campaign in the innovation process“, we have brought together an exclusive group of participants from both the development and sales departments of various companies. Our basic topic:

How do we succeed – from the initial idea to the finished product – in making an innovation process as lean and targeted as possible through mutual communication and cooperation?

As part of a perspective event on October 23, 2024, the focus was primarily on the possibilities of such sales-innovation collaborations, especially from the perspective of globally operating companies. The questions we asked ourselves in this context covered a considerable range:

  • How can we – possibly from here – contribute to maximizing the promotion of innovation processes at other locations, including those abroad?
  • What processes need to be established there?
  • For example, how can the communication and social media channels there be opened up for this?
  • How can further progress be made within the company?

Successful results through joint solutions

The all-round positive: once again, all participants were able to benefit from the answers we came up with to these and other questions!

AI-supported sales training: Autodidactic learning of the future

AI-supported sales training: passing on knowledge and optimizing skills

/in , /by
2 Min.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now being used in numerous areas to support sales. These include the design and production of sales materials and the use of versatile software tools that support sales staff in their customer relationship management (CRM) or in the area of project and schedule management.

AI in sales training: a new approach

A relatively new area of application for AI is its use in sales training. Here, AI is specifically designed to support sales staff in their core communicative tasks. How such AI-supported training can look in practice was the topic of an online event hosted by 2be_die markenmacher together with BWV Nordbayern-Thüringen on October 23. Chris Sander, Creative Leader at the Akkodis Group, and Max von Retorio were invited as experts. The presentations initially focused on how the content flow between sales and customers can be improved with the help of AI tools such as ChatGPT or Midjourney. These tools expand the possibilities of sales in the creation and management of content by efficiently generating texts and supporting creative processes. For many participants, this was an opportunity to build on existing knowledge and expand it with new approaches.

Retorio and Synthesia: innovative AI training solutions

It became particularly exciting when Max used practical examples to show how programs such as retorio can be used in combination with Synthesia. These tools make it possible to create avatars that analyze your own sales activities. Gestures, facial expressions and voice are scrutinized in order to make targeted improvements. These innovative training methods create real added value for sales staff, allowing them to receive practical and individual training. One highlight of the event was the demonstration of how companies can use AI software to preserve the knowledge and years of experience of proven sales staff and pass it on to the next generation. The programs can be used not only to train communication skills, but also to pass on tips and strategies from experienced colleagues to successors in the form of avatar coaching. This makes it possible to practise directly on potential customers in an interactive speech-and-response scenario.

Conclusion: AI as the key to sales optimization

The combination of proven sales methods and modern AI solutions offers companies a real competitive advantage. From content flow management to individual training with avatars – AI helps to pass on knowledge, expand skills and sustainably optimize sales. Events like this illustrate the potential of AI-supported training and how companies can benefit from it.

On 1 October 2024, Matthias Brinkmann and Robert Duckstein will demonstrate practical applications and proven methods. Secure your place now and optimise your project management!

Odoo 18 – Unleash project forces!

/in , /by
2 Min.

With increasing digitalization and the possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI), project management has changed fundamentally in recent years. Regardless of the size and structure of organizations, this is particularly evident in the extensive use of modern project management tools such as Odoo. Today, these tools are not only used to structure and automate processes, but also support projects with assistance functions that can significantly reduce the overall workload.

Insights into the possibilities of Odoo 18: Project planning event

In cooperation with our partner manaTec, a hybrid event on “Project planning with Odoo 18” took place on October 28, 2024. The 18 or so participants were given a comprehensive and inspiring insight into the functions that Odoo 18 offers in the area of project management – especially with regard to task management, resource management and scheduling. The event underlined how versatile and flexible the new Odoo can be used to increase efficiency and transparency in projects. During the subsequent discussion round, the audience was particularly interested in the use of integrable AI tools such as ChatGPT to optimize project management. These AI-supported “helpers” offer numerous advantages that go beyond pure text generation. Not only can they create standard texts for reports and documentation, but they can also automatically record entire meetings – in multiple languages if required.

Multilingual call protocols and flexible application options

One of the outstanding features of ChatGPT in Odoo 18 is the ability to automatically log conversations and translate them into different languages as required. This makes collaboration in international teams much easier and increases the accuracy and efficiency of logging. The minutes created can be seamlessly saved in Odoo and made available to team members. In addition to the flexibility in text generation and logging, Odoo 18 offers the option of operating the AI within a closed system – such as on the company’s own servers. This allows the AI to be adapted to the company’s individual requirements while maintaining the transparency of data processing. This option makes it easier to meet the requirements of the GDPR, as sensitive project information is processed securely and compliantly.

The future of project management: now and open to new developments

The event made it clear to participants that the future of project management has already begun. The new features in Odoo 18 set the standard for efficiency and adaptability in project work and show how AI can transform the management of projects. The possibilities offered by Odoo 18 are diverse and flexible – and the development of project management remains open to further innovation.
