Hunt Scanlon Media’sLeveraging AI to Drive Business Development in Executive Search

September 16th, 12pm ET

Join Ren on September 16 for an interactive webinar supported by Hunt Scanlon Media. The session will focus on deploying AI to differentiate your firm and boost business development productivity.

According to Hunt Scanlon’s recent report on how AI is reshaping executive search, 91% of respondents already use general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Only the most forward-thinking firms have yet deployed integrated capabilities engineered specifically for business development. In this webinar, we’ll focus on the benefits of widespread adoption of purpose-built AI to leverage context, proprietary data, and built-in prompts to unlock greater ROI and capabilities.

This a great opportunity to hear first-hand from some of the key players in our industry. They will share valuable insights into best practices for responding to and deploying AI at your firm.

The conversation will be moderated by the CEO of Ren, the AI-powered sales intelligence platform used by top consultants at firms like DSG Global, Riviera Partners, and Sanford Rose Associates.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Deepening relationships: are firms using AI to improve their competitive edge, or just to move faster?
  • Building trust in an AI-enabled market: does AI make it easier or harder to create meaningful relationships with clients and prospects?
  • Monitoring moments that matter: using AI to identify timely triggers, changes and signals that create a reason to reach out.
  • Meeting prep and prospecting: using AI to understand companies, sectors, executives and client priorities before a conversation.
  • Warm introductions: mapping networks and surfacing stronger routes into prospects, decision-makers and influencers.
