Why Read This from an HCI Perspective
This article presents ChatGPT not as a simple writing tool, but as an interface that supports the full range of sales work. It shows how AI can fit into real workflows—such as account research, creating personalized messages, managing deals, and improving conversion—making it meaningful for HCI/UX practitioners. In particular, it prompts readers to think not only about performance, but about where users place their trust in AI, where they verify again, and which parts require direct human intervention.
CIT's Commentary
Using ChatGPT in the sales field makes people see it less as a ‘tool that provides answers’ and more as a ‘colleague that changes the way work gets done.’ However, the more convenient such tools are, the easier it is for users to accept the results as-is. That’s why, at critical decision points—like account research or generating personalized copy—users need to clearly understand where the evidence came from and when a human should step in. Especially in work where outcomes directly translate into revenue, such as pipeline management, faster execution doesn’t automatically mean higher quality. The key is an interface that clearly separates automation from review. These examples also make a strong starting point for the research question: ‘How far can AI go?’
