A short conversational excerpt from a SalesGlobe Sage YouTube video (recorded Feb 27, 2024) framing why sales professionals should care about AI. Speakers argue AI will automate and speed many sales tasks across stages (lead generation through implementation) but will not "take over" sales; instead, salespeople should learn to leverage AI to become more effective in their roles.
Why should I care about AI and sales? Well, you.
Should care about AI and sales because AI is becoming transformative in terms of how sales are being done.
Everybody thinks that AI is going to take over sales, and we're here to tell you that it is not.
As we step through different areas of the sales process, from lead generation to working through the steps of proposal development and solution development to implementation, AI is going to automate a lot of things. It's going to make a lot of things faster. So understanding how AI is going to play and understanding the AI and human relationship is critical.
So the reason that you should be really interested for you and your role is because you can learn how to leverage that technology to help you become more effective in your own job today.
