Conversation (May 28, 2025) between Jason M. Lemkin and Kyle Norton (Owner CRO) about how AI is changing sales and go-to-market. They discuss: mandate for leaders to be "AI native" and require team curiosity (deadline cited: June 30); stack choices (Salesforce + Momentum, Crescendo, Guru, Delphi, Windsurf, Avara, Momentum, Guru, Crescendo, Delphi); measured gains from AI (3–4x per-rep efficiency claim; 25–30% increase in revenue-generating activity time; goal to reach 70–80% RGA); SMB restaurant sales specifics (ACV ~high four figures, approaching $10k; many one-call closes; sub-seven-day sales cycle); PLG/self-serve + AI (semi-self-serve continuum, OneMind/Superhuman AI assistant for website and funnel); operational lessons (AI needs good documentation, weekly QA loops, ongoing training and content creation; pilots recommended); workforce impacts (mediocre reps/BDRs likely at risk; AI will amplify top performers; commissions and comp dynamics may change).
