Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sales
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing sales organizations by providing cutting-edge tools that give businesses a competitive edge.
By incorporating AI, your sales team can focus on what they do best—building relationships and closing deals.
In fact, Gartner expects 60% of seller work to be executed by generative AI technologies by 2028. Research by McKinsey & Company suggests that a fifth of current sales-team functions could be automated.
AI doesn’t replace your team—it amplifies their capabilities, driving productivity, improving response times, and cutting operational costs.
Here's how AI can enhance your sales processes:
- Automatically capture meeting notes and generate detailed recap reports
- Eliminate time-consuming data entry tasks
- Identify ideal candidate profiles and generate high-quality leads
- Craft personalized emails at scale
- Automate lead qualification for faster, more accurate results

Guidelines for Using AI for Sales
While AI technology can be powerful, success still hinges on following guidelines when utilizing the technology.
- Always keep the human element
- View AI as a teammate to collaborate with
- Always validate the accuracy of information
- Do not share proprietary content or customer information
- Know the limitations of your tools. Some tools are not connected to the internet, which means they cannot access current information
- Be aware AI is rapidly changing
The adoption of AI is not about replacing salespeople, it’s about empowering them with the tools and intelligence they need to be more efficient and effective. RAIN Group reports those experiencing the greatest impact on sales performance and productivity from AI are 4.8 times more likely to strongly agree that AI acts as a new teammate to collaborate with.
