Importance of Training: Continuous training and adaptation are crucial as the sales landscape evolves with technological advancements. Building and Growing: Identifying companies in their growth phase and leveraging AI can significantly impact sales success. QUOTES "There's certain things machines do really well and there's certain things people do really well. AI is here to augment, not replace, the salesperson." "In order to actually connect with someone and get their attention in an inbox that has 60 emails, you have to show them that you know them." "AI can personalize messages based on company performance and individual profiles within seconds, a task that would take a human significantly longer."
