Abstract

The telecommunications industry in China, as a vital component of the national economy, encounters both significant challenges and promising opportunities. Among the critical activities within this sector, B2B marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting and retaining enterprise customers. In recent years, the application of emerging technologies particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed traditional B2B marketing strategies. This study explores the multifaceted applications of AI within the B2B marketing landscape of China's telecommunications industry.

This paper investigates key challenges such as infrastructure limitations, insufficient data quality, privacy concerns, and regulatory barriers. A lack of robust infrastructure for data collection, processing, and analysis remains one of the primary obstacles to AI implementation. Furthermore, the available data often lack the required quality to effectively train AI models. Privacy and data security concerns have also emerged as crucial issues, while existing regulatory frameworks impose restrictions on data utilization for marketing purposes.

AI empowers telecommunications companies to analyze customer behavior patterns, personalize content, automate sales processes, and improve the overall efficiency of marketing and sales operations. Additionally, AI-driven predictive analytics enable better strategic decision-making by forecasting market trends. Real-world examples demonstrate that leading Chinese telecommunications companies have already integrated AI in areas such as customer experience personalization, sales optimization, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). These AI applications, supported by strategic planning and performance evaluation, have contributed to enhancing marketing outcomes and improving the overall competitiveness of these firms.
