From Stress to Success: Maarten's AI-Powered Workday

Maarten sat at his laptop, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected message in his LinkedIn inbox. As a partner at a financial services firm in Amsterdam, he was constantly juggling client meetings, data analysis, and the never-ending flow of emails. The last thing he needed was another task, but the message from “The Rapid Digital Plug Fitter” piqued his interest.

Overwhelmed Financial Partner Finds AI Solution to Simplify Workday

“Hello Maarten, The Rapid Digital Plug Fitter here from F1DP Agency. AI is complex, and we simplify it. Let's explore its potential together and see how I can help.”

It wasn’t often that someone offered to simplify AI. Maarten barely had time to think about 'AI improvements,' which felt distant from his daily routine. He decided to respond, thinking it wouldn’t hurt to see what it was about.

Almost immediately, a new message appeared:

“Thanks for your reply! I'm here to provide insights into how AI can streamline your business practices. Can you tell me the biggest challenge you’re facing right now?”

Maarten let out a sigh. What was the biggest challenge? He wasn’t quite sure where to start. After a brief pause, he began typing.

“I’ll be honest, I’m not sure where to start. My days are packed with meetings, analyzing data, updating client info in the CRM, managing emails,.... It's all very manual. I’m not sure how AI could help with any of this.”

The reply was quick.

“Did you know, Maarten, I see this at many companies? You’ve got tools like Outlook for emails, a CRM for contacts, and proposals stored in your drive or somewhere else. But there’s a lot of manual work involved—updating multiple systems, copying and pasting information. Errors happen, and clients end up waiting longer for responses. It’s frustrating, I’m sure.”

Maarten nodded, though no one could see him. Frustrating was an understatement.

“But AI,” continued the Rapid Digital Plug Fitter, “can handle a lot of these manual, error-prone tasks. It’s capable of understanding text and responding to it in a human-like way. Let me give you a couple of examples.”

Maarten leaned forward, intrigued.

“Imagine this: AI can read and understand your emails, categorize them by their content, and even determine their urgency. If an email is about a proposal, it could automatically tag it as such, create a task in your CRM for a salesperson to follow up, and draft a response ready for your review. If it’s a complaint, it can alert your customer service team immediately with a suggested reply. For general inquiries, it could write a draft that you could approve before sending. All of this happens within the tools you already use, with AI skills integrated into your existing systems.”

AI Consultancy Offers Relief to Busy Professional, Promises Efficiency Gains

“That sounds... almost too good to be true,” Maarten admitted, his skepticism surfacing.

“I understand your hesitation,” the Rapid Digital Plug Fitter responded, “but it’s real, and it’s practical. The key is to start small. For example, you could begin by automating your email responses and CRM updates, reducing the time you spend on these routine tasks. From there, you can gradually implement more advanced AI solutions, tailored specifically to your needs. This way, there’s minimal disruption to your current workflow.”

“But where do I even start? I’m not exactly an AI expert,” Maarten asked, feeling somewhat lost.

“That’s where I come in,” the Rapid Digital Plug Fitter replied, “I offer a consultancy service that will cost you just two hours of your time. One hour in week one, and one hour in week three. During these sessions, I’ll develop a concrete AI implementation plan customized for your business, based on the tools you’re already using. You’ll get a vision of how AI can elevate your business development. Best of all, I’ll make a working AI proof of concept to show you exactly how it could work in your company.”

Maarten thought this over. Two hours didn’t seem like much time to invest for potentially significant gains in efficiency. Plus, it sounded like the Rapid Digital Plug Fitter would handle the heavy lifting, guiding him through the process step by step.

“It sounds promising,” Maarten said, feeling a bit more confident now. “I think I’d like to learn more about this consultancy offer.”
