We turned a skeptic into a full-fledged AI believer after closing a deal driven entirely by AI within just 30 days of launch. Two weeks ago, we went live with Zemlar Offices, Ontario's largest co-working operator with over 25 buildings. The Challenge: - High volume of inbound leads 24/7 - Leads coming from 10+ third-party sites - Limited capacity to respond quickly and convert effectively Waleed R. Javed, ZEMLAR Offices head of sales, knew there was money left on the table due to these challenges. But Zemlar was cautious about AI solutions after being burned before by a provider that couldn't handle their unique, complex workflows and that hallucinated too often. Fast forward two weeks: Our AI agent autonomously closed a sale for one of Zemlar's products. No human intervention. No phone calls. No 60-minute meetings. Just pure, efficient AI-driven sales. All in all, companies with genuine challenges are often the most open to trying new solutions. Past disappointments with AI can lead to caution, but also to greater appreciation when the right solution comes along. And in the next 6-12 months, most businesses will start to realize that AI Isn't replacing humans. It's augmenting their capabilities, handling routine tasks so the sales team can focus on high-value interactions. P.S. Are you still skeptical?

It's astounding how much time and energy sales teams burn through just qualifying leads. One of our ongoing pilots revealed an interesting insight: Sales agents were spending most of their day on qualifying leads, only to find a few prospects worth pursuing. Their entire day was spent on sifting through leads to uncover relevant opportunities leaving them with little time to close deals. Fast forward to today, Olive AI's human-like AI voice agents now dial thousands of leads effortlessly and find high-intent, qualified prospects on their behalf. It's a perfect synergy: AI handles the boring and repetitive task of initial qualification, freeing up the sales team to focus on what they excel at - closing deals. This shift isn't just about efficiency - it's about empowering sales forces to do what they do best. By offloading the initial grunt work to AI, we're seeing a marked improvement in both the quantity and quality of sales interactions. Curious to hear your thoughts. How much time does your sales team spend on lead qualification? Could AI free them up to focus on high-value activities? #Qualification #AI #VoiceAI #Sales

People Buy from People - Is AI failing A good point made recently: "people buy from people." Totally true. Relationships are everything in sales. But what about AI? Can it play a role while still keeping that human touch? I think yes, if we're careful. Here are some ideas: Use AI to handle boring paperwork. Save human time for meaningful conversations. Let bots ask basic questions to prospects. Then bring in the sales team when it's time to seal the deal. Have AI scan customer data to share insights with salespeople before big calls. Helps personalize. The key is balance Augment human sellers with AI, don't replace them. The human touch will always be priceless in sales. But some AI sprinkled in can optimize things and free up selling time. I've seen it work. AI assistants for sales help drive over 50% more conversions. Impressive! What do you think? Have you used AI with sales? Love to hear experiences and tips on finding the right mix. Mani Maran Ramalingam M.K.

People are arguing about AI sales tools. I think the answer is simple: - If you have a lot of potential customers, AI tools are great. - If you have a few potential customers, avoid AI tools. Big companies with lots of customers can't send personal messages to everyone by hand. It's too hard. The best way for them to do it is with AI help for writing and sending emails. Is it perfect? No. But saying it’s not good enough when there are so many success stories is silly. Small companies are different. They can't afford to waste time. If I had less than 200 customers to sell to, I would avoid AI tools and use personal, human messages to win deals. I don’t get why this is even a debate—the best solution is the one that works for you. You don’t have to choose just one way.

Standardize or Stagnate: How AI Founders Can Accelerate Deals Time kills deals. In AI, a lack of standardized benchmarks for assessing products built on top of LLMs is damaging both buyers and AI companies. This prolongs the sales cycle and significantly increases the risk of deals falling. Infosec assessment is not solving the problem In my previous company, I saw every type of security questionnaire, 85% of which followed a standardized format that drastically expedited deal closures. The AI sector, with its bespoke assessments for each AI company, is in need of market standards. Why Standardization is Crucial 🕒 Reduced Time to Close: Standard assessments enable quicker, more decisive buyer actions. 💼 Lower Operational Costs: AI founders can focus more on product innovation rather than bespoke buyer questions. 📈 Higher Deal Success Rates: Standardized validations build buyer confidence, increasing the likelihood of deal completion. TrustPath’s Role in Pioneering AI Standardization 🎯 Setting Industry Benchmarks: We provide robust, clear guidelines that AI companies can implement, ensuring consistency and reliability across evaluations. 🔧 Enhancing Sales Efficiency: Our standardized frameworks are designed to streamline the assessment process, enabling AI companies to close deals faster. Key Takeaway Standardization in AI assessments is a strategic signaling that builds trust with buyers. TrustPath is helping AI companies win more deals faster.

AI won't replace the sales process anytime soon. While it can automate tasks like data analysis, prospecting, and follow-ups, the human elements—trust-building, emotional intelligence, and relationship management—are irreplaceable. AI enhances the process, but it can't fully replicate the personal connection required to close deals.

I'm confident in saying that, at this moment, the most impactful AI a company can implement is an AI SDR agent. The reason is simple: speed to lead is critical in sales. When a lead fills out a form, they're motivated and ready to talk. But if they don’t hear back quickly, their interest fades—maybe they go to a competitor who was faster. An AI SDR ensures that leads are engaged instantly, without breaks or getting overwhelmed. It's not just about efficiency; it's about capturing that fleeting intent before it's gone. You might wonder how effective it can truly be. The answer is clear: the latest AI models and capabilities enable remarkably engaging interactions. When combined with the right memory features, it paves the way for a highly personalized experience for your clients.

The real impact artificial intelligence for b2b sales? It is about saving a commodity we cannot afford to waste. Can you guess? You were right, it is TIME! Make sure you do not use AI technology for high-value sales activities (yet). #b2bsales #artificialintelligence #socialselling #ai #sales
