Abstract: In an increasingly advanced digital era, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face new challenges and opportunities in enhancing their sales performance. The use of innovative technologies, such as ChatGPT and Customer Relationship Management (CRM), is key to improving operational efficiency and strengthening MSME competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the impact of integrating ChatGPT and CRM on MSME sales performance with operational efficiency as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using SEM-PLS methodology to explore the relationships between relevant variables. The study was conducted on 100 MSMEs in Subang Regency, Indonesia, using an online questionnaire as the data collection tool. The findings indicate that the integration of ChatGPT and CRM significantly affects MSME sales performance in Subang Regency, with operational efficiency as a mediating variable. First, ChatGPT has been shown to have a significant positive impact on MSME sales performance. This technology facilitates the adoption of new technologies, enhances customer interaction, and enables better service personalization, which directly impacts increased sales volume, sales growth, and revenue. Second, effective CRM implementation also demonstrates a significant positive influence on MSME sales performance. Good customer data management, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty contribute to increased sales volume, sales growth, and revenue. Third, operational efficiency proves to play a significant mediating role in the relationship between ChatGPT and CRM integration and MSME sales performance. Improvements in operational efficiency through reduced processing times, optimized resource use, and cost reduction support increased sales volume, sales growth, and revenue.
