Top Takeaways

AI’s real win in sales right now: offload repetitive tasks (triaging inboxes, drafting replies/follow-ups, note-taking, CRM updates) so sellers can focus on discovery, demos, and closing.
Time to value is the new battleground. ChatGPT has reset expectations; buyers want activation on day one, not week 12.
Meta-prompting → compounding quality. Prompts and personas should self-improve as your style and outcomes evolve.
Context engineering increases quality. Simple details (who/where/when) measurably boost LLM output quality.
Adoption reality check. Biggest blocker isn’t tech—it’s org inertia and middle-management friction. Start with a tiger-team pilot.

Be great at your craft first.

AI massively amplifies already-excellent practitioners.

Benefits of AI in Business: AI enables businesses to become better and faster in their operations. It enhances personalization, automates redundant tasks, and provides insights for more effective engagement with prospects.

Balancing AI and Human Interaction: While AI can handle tasks efficiently, the podcast emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between AI and human interaction. The human touch is crucial in building trust, especially in complex sales processes.

QUOTES

"With all the infusion of technology into the selling process, there are two patterns that emerge over time. One pattern is the problems that technology solves. The second is the pattern that technology creates, the problems that get created by technology."

"AI allows us to be both better and faster. Better in terms of the kind of content that we're using, the leads that we're engaging, and faster because the AI is taking a lot of these redundant tasks."

"Your A players will always be your A players. What we're getting with technology, AI, not AI, is that sales is a crime scene and there are clues everywhere."

"We've gone from simple automation, where the human being is making the decision and the technology is helping to execute, to advanced automation, where the machine now is making the decision and the human being is executing at the task level."

"We're moving from content generation and AI to task execution in AI, and this is a game-changer."

"Ethics just does not come up on customer calls or sales calls. There's more of an acceptance, a curiosity with the business application."

In today's episode of The AI for Sales Podcast, we welcome our guest and new co-host, Joe Papa! Joe is the Founder and CEO of TruVersity and he joins the show today to talk about the different business problems that AI can solve.

He discusses how and why the biggest solution AI can bring is that it allows individuals to get their time back. Joe shares about TruVersity and how they help companies and their employees implement AI effectively. He also lays down his thoughts on how AI can help us achieve maximum productivity, or if it actually gives us more work.

QUOTES

How does productivity look with AI? - Joe

"So I think what you're going to see is a shift to a leadership mindset. And you go from people who are used to doing tasks to people who are now becoming managers of AI. So the leadership mindset becomes very important, no matter what you're doing."

People need to be educated on what AI really is - Joe

"If you get somebody that goes on to ChatGPT and starts talking to and thinking that that thing is real, that's dangerous. Asking it for advice, and it's getting bad advice like that's dangerous. So people need to know this is not real, you're not talking to a person, it makes mistakes, and it has errors."

Welcome to the second season of The AI for Sales Podcast! In today's episode, Chad is joined by Mike Montague, Director of Community Engage at Sandler Training and Host of the How to Succeed Podcast.

QUOTES

The possible impact of AI for sales training - Mike

"The same crash is happening here and people get confused, what's the AI's job? What's the salesperson's job? And how do we combine these two in the best of both worlds so we don't lose our humanity but we also don't lose all the insights, data, credibility, efficiency, and 24/7 availability of AI? And I think we can do both."

Mike on AI for prospecting calls

"That's a really great way to think about AI, it's not how do we replace you? How do we outsource all the work we don't want to do to the AI, right? It's how do you make the best possible outgoing prospecting calls. That's really what we're all about here."

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Ryan House, Director of Business Development at Programmers.io.

HIGHLIGHTS

Where AI plays a role in the projects of big companies
AI being used in business development
Bot automation and AI in the sales focus
The disadvantage of AI being "too perfect"

QUOTES

Ryan: "It's not Star Trek exciting or anything like that but to just have that where you're starting to see manufacturing companies and industries you would never really expect to use AI are starting to now use AI and programming in general."

Ryan: "I would say it's so efficient in terms of taking something that is a traditional skillset, i.e. cold calling, and modernizing it to the speed that is needed for today."

Ryan: "The biggest thing is the rationality of human decision-making. AI is so rational and that's the problem right there of why it can't be replacing a human, so to speak."

The idea of getting to see a little bit of the world
How AI and the internet help reduce the cost of face-to-face meetings
Addressing the fear of complexities in international business
Will AI take over

QUOTES

Zach: "If you can be proactive about planning out how you want to live your life, you can get there. If you just sort of try and let the universe guide you, you're probably not going to get any place interesting."

Zach: "In 2020 and 2021, I closed as much business as I closed in 2019 without getting on a plane which I would have thought was impossible. And it was basically through using good technology."

Zach: "I think there's always going to be room for the top salespeople and the top sales jobs to be doing their thing. AI isn't going to replace them. So it's not that everything is being taken off the table, it's just a lot of the work is being made easier with AI."

HIGHLIGHTS

Does AI replace or augment
Advancements for AI in the sales motion

QUOTES

John: "Our analytics product is essentially advanced recording for operators, recreating spreadsheets and just data ultimately being fed into it whether it's from the food or beverage side, a combination of both, or just purely from the point of sale."

John: "There are certain aspects of a client moving from one tier to another where AI is probably a better fit. Some of the most successful companies that we've seen over the last 10 to 20 years have been exiting out of the SaaS boom right now and going into in-app transactions or in-app upgrades."

John: "It's cool to actually see the team learn through a piece of technology that can analyze a whole day of conversations and kind of compile it where we can have a quick 20 to 30-minute conversation and better understand that there's a lot of information but let's just try a piece of it."

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Seth Earley, CEO of Earley Information Science and author of The AI-Powered Enterprise. Most businesses will discover that data involved in pilot testing may not necessarily translate into production. Seth discusses the importance of investing in data and architecture for its increased impact in work.

He also talks about the challenges of integrating and organizing data in the organization's business and IT sides. He shares that having a more holistic view of the organization is essential. He suggests starting with the business objectives and then identifying where you can speed up the flow of information using AI.

HIGHLIGHTS

Early applications of AI and machine learning
The AI-Powered Enterprise
Fixing data: Business problem or IT problem?
The customer journey is a knowledge journey

QUOTES

Seth: "I like to say the first thing about AI is forget about AI. Focus on the business, the business process, and the business outcome. Look for those places where you have friction points in your information movement. Where, if you have that right information, can you speed up all those downstream processes?"

Seth: "What it does is that it gives you a greater ability to locate exactly what you need. And that, of course, is based on information architecture. There's no artificial intelligence without information architecture."

Seth: "They come armed, they're knowledgeable, and they understand what they need. It's not like the old days when the salesperson was the gatekeeper of knowledge and information. Customers want to have that control, they need to be able to get that information from their website and from other sources."

HIGHLIGHTS

What enables Nyckel to operate in a short period of time
Importance of bias in general AI
AI in the sales space
Deploying the technology at an affordable price

Oscar: "We actually use AI to figure out which subset of models to try and we use AI to approximate how long it will take to train. We use all these levels because it's so easy to add we kind of use it to boost up our own product."

Oscar: "With Nyckel it's less of a problem because we train, what we call, narrow AI specifically on your data. So we use pre-trained models but we tailor them to your data. You can always make sure that the data you're providing is consistent with your product and ethics."

Oscar: "It's more about making sales representatives more efficient. It could also be like identifying patterns in what companies to reach out to. So you have a database of ten thousand companies you could potentially try. Now you could use an AI to identify which of the remaining are promising that are similar to the ones that already replied."

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Justin Clegg, Founder and CEO of Allset. He talks about the disjointed communication experience dealing with home services especially when compared against the efficiency of food delivery apps.

As things are, it’s not as easy to communicate with plumbers or carpet cleaners after receiving their service. He shares how Allset addresses this and how AI is being integrated within the platform. He also talks about experimenting with tipping through SMS as a way to increase revenue.

HIGHLIGHTS

How Allset helps businesses in customer communication experience
Tipping is explored and enhanced through the platform
The potential of predictive analytics to be used even more
Continuing to unlock revenue for home service businesses

Justin: "You can open up your phone, get a meal delivered, or have groceries brought to you within a 30 to 45-minute period yet when it comes to communicating with your plumber or window washer, there's this disjointed and fragmented technology experience."

Justin: "With Allset, we received a lot of customers who will actually reply back with feedback. They will share questions and ask for return visits beyond just tipping or leaving a review or referral. With all of that unstructured feedback, we are now enabling customers to communicate with these home-service professionals."

Justin: "You have things like user management and conversation management. Understanding what type of conversations are taking place on our platform and then the analytics that follows that. Everything from response times to deliverability rates, to managing tens and thousands of concurrent messages."

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Sammy James, CEO of Speak2Leads. There was a study done that showed that calling back your leads under 5 minutes has an 80% likelihood of closing the deal. But, there are not many companies that can facilitate your ability to do this.

Sammy talks about learning to adapt after constantly moving with his family and his early fascination with the idea of business when he was young. He shares about building Speak2Leads even at a time when AI was limited and how it has eventually grown to this day.

He also dishes on the study he mentioned and how he thinks 5 minutes is already considered slow. With the capabilities and innovations brought by AI, we can possibly reduce that number from minutes to mere seconds.

HIGHLIGHTS

Learning to adapt from an early age
Building the application outside of AI access
Utilizing natural language and AI voice assistants
How AI will enable you to fully optimize operations

QUOTES

Sammy: "If I'm walking down the street to take a break and get a cup of coffee, I don't want to miss a lead. But I want the freedom to do that because salespeople, by nature, like to be autonomous. And so let them be, don't make them sit at a desk with some earphones dealing with that CRM or whatever it is."

Sammy: "This gets the attention of the salesperson. Without their attention, you would have nothing cause they're the ones who have to call a lead. And so we make it very easy."

Sammy: "That's why they were hired. They were hired for their persuasiveness and their ability to listen and have great sales conversations and they were not hired for other things. I want to take those other things off their plate."

HIGHLIGHTS

AI as a pattern-matching technology for prospecting
Putting the user in control at the right levels
Rev if AI did not exist
How AI enables people

Jonathan: "B2B sales, over the years, has specialized more and more. We've gotten better and put dedicated themes around closing deals, we've got our nurturing functions set up in marketing, and now we have people who are dedicated to BDR and SDR function opening doors."

Jonathan: "It's got to be something where we help the customer build a model of who their ICP is. Let them choose, like in a Google Maps kind of way, the variables they really care about."

Jonathan: "The opportunity of AI is to see more really good patterns early. In our case, it's seeing who's a good person to purchase before they even know to show intent yet. That's where AI is just super exciting for the sales process."

Building a team that understands the technology
How we can make better conversations between machines and humans

QUOTES

Rodrigo: “Whatever you're doing, you choose what's hard for you. If you're going to be an employer or you're going to be a startup founder, both are going to be hard if you're going if you want to do it well. Choosing the hard way is a tough choice but also proud because I want to help people with what I'm doing."

Rodrigo: “We analyze those conversations and figure out what the agents are doing or what they're not doing correctly in those interactions. But most important is that where we're doing with our solution right now, our goal is to be the first real-time solution for the Spanish language, with guidance and automated coaching workflows for agents as well."

Rodrigo: “When you talk about only sales, it's a pretty competitive market. But the market is so big that you see many solutions that are, in their own way, different. So it makes a lot of sense for different types of the sales process, for example, lead qualification, lead scoring, revenue, and lead nurturing. So you have a lot of solutions that could help you do a better job as a sales rep."

Where AI plays a role in the process
Privacy concerns in the use of AI in B2B
The concept of GPT-3

QUOTES

Tukan: “Buyers are showing these signals of interest even before coming to me and filling out a form, so we need to get ahead of the game and predict when they start showing intent so that we can reach out to them with our sales and marketing message."

Tukan: “LeadSift would look at a whole bunch of different sources, or any intent provider would do that, and give you a ranked list of companies that they think are in-market to buy. Now, as the seller, you take that data and then you craft your message to reach out to them at the right time."

Tukan: “That's the beauty of it. You train a system and the system will statistically label data and it will say, 'hey, based on what you're telling me, this is what the trend looks like' and this is just for one of the trends. But yeah, without AI, we don't exist."

Making sure AI systems don't make decisions on their own

QUOTES

Eliav: “If you're a marketer and you're reading an article about something, typically the content that's been created is specifically for your use case. They're putting it on that site knowing your use case, who the audience is, and that's why you're interested.”

Eliav: “When people ask those questions, no live person should be answering those. That's the value of a good chatbot. Now, for B2C that's what it should do. But for B2B it should be 'does it integrate with this?' If you can answer that question, there's no reason to have a live person because it should understand the intent and go to book a meeting.”

Eliav: “You're going to get a bunch of random questions and you probably should have an AI that answers those questions. The more niche that article is, when you're talking about whether it's a piece of sponsored content or it's an earned media article, being able to chat on that and ask those two or three qualifying questions makes it then worth it.”

The form the company would take without artificial intelligence
Team's reaction after AI was introduced in operations
Changes that Andrew expects with the increased application of AI

QUOTES

Andrew: "I look to automation as a way to breathe life back into that business. So we use it for aggregating data from a whole variety of sources, structuring that data, and loading it into databases. So we probably have about 30% savings in our operational costs when we adopted the technology."

Andrew: "If you were given a choice to work for a company that is deploying AI and automation throughout its operations to one that wasn't, I definitely would want to be when they are because they're going to be conducting business better, faster, and cheaper.”

Andrew: "People are starting to really focus on employees not just as a cost to the company but as an asset that needs to be preserved, nurtured, and built. And I think automation is one of the best ways to do that.”

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Jamie Shanks, Founder and CEO of Sales for Life. He is also the CEO of Pipeline Signals which helps sales teams redirect their focus to selling instead of spending too much time on research.

Jamie highlights how businesses can use AI to obtain sales intelligence and data so that their sales professionals can concentrate on netting new sales, cross-selling, and upselling. He also explains how this can significantly streamline work processes while also cutting on human capital costs.

He shows us his perspective on the partnership between humans and technology. Both are necessary in terms of creativity, obtaining resources, and coming up with the right decisions.

HIGHLIGHTS

Where Jamie sees AI being deployed today
The concept of social proximity
Pipeline Signals' solution for customer acquisition and success
AI for product usage and workload consumption

QUOTES

Jamie: "The left side of the brain I've always found very intriguing and it's amazed me how subjective and whimsical sellers have been in their collection of sales intelligence to make informed decisions."

Jamie: "I'm paying my sellers for outcomes, not to be analysts and researchers. So whether there are cheaper resources that can acquire this information and make informed decisions, that's the basis. So, what we're doing is buying back sellers' time."

Jamie: "You're most expensive resources are sales professionals. You need to maximize their return on effort or their yield. And if you're not applying technology and AI to help aid that, then you're deploying really expensive resources in an inefficient way."

On this episode of the AI for Sales Podcast, Chad is joined by Seamus Ruiz-Earle, CEO of Carabiner Group, a firm specializing in Revenue Operations information technology services.

Seamus explains that while sales ops focuses on sales and marketing operations on marketing service, Rev Ops is the carabiner between all of these and connecting them to ensure visibility across the board, hence the name of the company.

He gives insight into the impact and roles that AI may play in the sales process. How they acquire talent is also discussed as Seamus even hired a Navy Seal transitioning from the service because of his earned life experience, even if he's never sold technology in his life.

HIGHLIGHTS

Where does AI play a role in the sales motion
Using AI for transactional vs relational sales skills
AI as an effective decision-making tool

QUOTES

Seamus: "There's only 24 hours a day, about 6 to 8 of those need to be spent sleeping. That leaves you with a limited amount of time to do what salespeople do best, connecting people with solutions. And AI is supposed to make that job easier and better."

Seamus: "We're not there to just take your money. We're there to build a relationship. I teach my sales folks to be, effectively, the person you meet at the bar who you make a good connection with and who happens to know the person who can solve your problem."

Seamus: "There's a knowledge gap with the value that artificial intelligence and machine learning can have for businesses that are anything other than technology."

Eris: "We analyze the behaviors of the end users, see exactly what they like and, at that point, it's a no-brainer to connect these people is going to like this brand or this product or they are more into this type of spending."

Eris: "The decision-makers on the top, the ones who are deciding what I see on each platform or what I buy, is decided based on AI, whether it's a recommendation engine or similar... so it's better to have the businesses also get shown where the AI is going."

Tarush: "The first 5 layers of the stack are kind of pretty well-understood and, at that point, that's kind of verticalized but more sort of horizontal. But in terms of the other capabilities which the modern data stack can start to provide, we sort of get into data lineage and data catalog."

Tarush: "We take the modern data stack and stitch together and provide it as a service. So as a business, you're kind of good to go on day 1, you don't need to worry about signing enterprise contracts or figuring out how it all plays together."

Tarush: "A lot of the core problems before AI need to be commoditized, what are some of those problems, right? A big part of that problem is the infrastructure of the data platform required to get to a point where you have stable, clean, highly-modeled data which is, again, the sort of 5 layers."

QUOTES

Suraj: "We've basically innovated a solution that can help you find the right customer for your company based on different buying signals. If somebody is new to a job position, they're very likely to buy. If the company has recently received funding or there's a partnership in the works, they're more likely to make a buy."

Suraj: "What I've observed is people don't want to do the prospecting, they don't want to do the personalization because it's a lot of busy work. Imagine if you could spend that time conversing with a customer who was actually somewhat interested. You could focus on the conversation."

Suraj: "Things can go wrong with AI and things could right, but I try to be on the optimistic side. I believe in the greater good of humanity to innovate in a direction that is for the greater good. I think there'll be obviously more penetration of AI, but I also think it'll very empathetic and sensitive AI."

John: "We would look at whether or not you use an e-store, how would you curate that store, and then how would you actually promote that store and modify off of the data that comes on who's buying what, what's selling, what's not selling."

John: "You have two types of conversations. Number one, you have the one where you're just getting them right back to that order process where you know that they're going to buy that, but you also can monitor the tendencies that they don't have so you understand what suite of services they're not using."

QUOTES

Thor: "It's much more meaningful because really our focus is on the relationship. It's not on the transaction. So most tools, sales tools being obviously the primary example, are really focused on closing a deal, closing a sale, and like something transactional."

Thor: "Analyzing the contents of the conversation to the point of being able to tell the nature of each relationship, and then that crossed with every other possible contact is a huge computational problem. So being able to spin up a 90+ core CPU to just churn through, again it's not rocket science, but just churn through a massive amount of data—and it's not even quick, it still takes us many days to process—but it's possible."

Nicolas: "You mean to say that 60 people out of a hundred asked for a meeting and didn't get one? And this is insanity. So we built a solution with a smart JavaScript that qualifies in rather real time and w talk about the AI that plays into that use case."

Nicolas: "AI is going to do a lot to facilitate the role of sales people, but in my opinion, there's one piece—and maybe not for every product—but for many products there's one piece that will remain realm of actual human beings, and that's the discovery piece."

Chad: "The hardest part for sellers is that only 30 to 40% of the day is actually spent doing selling. So in my view, as I deploy tools like virtual assistants to do outreach for me on email and social and even a voicemail drop, I can have a team of six virtual assistants that costs me a hundred dollars a month each. That's like having a six pack of BDRs doing prospecting."
