What is a Pocket Ninja Helper?

 

A marketing technology professional was trying to come up with the best analogy or metaphor to help local business owners understand the true value of implementing AI in their local business.

He needed to come up with a good analogy because the hype for AI productivity gains aren't being explained very well to Local Business Owners.  There is a lot of selling, a lot of hyping, but not a lot of clarity and concrete directions that local business owners can easily understand.

He is the best analogy he arrived at:

"Here is how Local Business owners should practically approach Ai possibilities for their business, avoid the pitfalls:

Ask 'can it TRULY benefit them every day, HEADACHE free?' 

If so, you can then have a little icon sized Ninja Helper accessible from that mobile phone sitting in your pocket, working 24/7.

Right now, the No-Brainer immediate impact use case is handling your inbound Voice & Chat so you don't miss leads you pay so dearly for to call you in the first place." - Jay Turner, Rainmaker Reputation AI

Pocket Ninja Helpers

Pocket, because they are digital ai worker bees accessible and controllable from your mobile phone or tablet.  

Ninja, because they aren't seen like an employee, they are digital tools that work 24/7, always on, and tireless, persistent and effective.   So Ninja!

Helpers.  Like Santa's elves, these AI tools can be like employees or assistants.  And now with LLM technology, they can converse like real humans, which amplifies the workload they can handle for a local business.

Right now, the no brainer killer app for AI is for an AI voice to handle inbound calls to a local business.

It is estimated that a local business misses almost 80% of the inbound calls.  Manning the phones at a local business is never one of the top loved tasks for employees at a business.  And because answering inbound call questions from prospects is so important, can be so detailed and unique, solving this problem for a local business can recoup lost customer opportunity in a matter of weeks for most verticals or types of local businesses.

On top of that, Online Chat for local brands has really picked up in broad use by the population at large.  It's been interesting, but in the last year, the average american consumer has adopted using Chat Widgets to interact with Local Brands that previously did not get such engagement.  Probably because it's only now that the public at large has warmed up to AI in general.
