AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it. From coaching and messaging to prospecting and pipeline accountability, artificial intelligence is giving managers and SDRs the new tools they need to work smarter, sell better, and close more.

In B2B sales, our messaging has changed, even if most sales organizations haven't made any significant adjustments. Those who are using an outdated approach may feel confident they have command of the message, only to discover that their clients no longer respond positively to it. Having command of the message doesn’t matter if it is ignored or rejected.

In the past, many people believed the sales process would provide each salesperson with the ability to win the deals they pursued, making it possible for every salesperson to hit their sales targets. Like many promises that seem too good to be true, this one never came to fruition.

I love finding the latest and greatest Salesforce Automation tools on the AppExchange. Salesforce automation tools go a long way in helping you improve the productivity and efficiency of your sales team. However, the right “stack” of Salesforce automation tools can really help you accelerate revenue and crush quota. Some tools out there are foundational — things like appointment scheduling, data automation, and document generation.

We’d all love to run 100% PLG SaaS companies that magically self-replicate customers. And it does happen, sometimes. At least for a while. You can hear more of a deep dive on how Calendly does it for example here. But even there, to truly scale, they went more enterprise and built out a full enterprise sales and marketing function. So where do you start?

Google is favoring content “ by people, for people ” over content written with search engines in mind in a new and extensive search algorithm update. The changes are responsive to user frustration when clicking on links that rank well in search but lead to content designed to rank well in search rather than be helpful or informative. We know people don’t find content helpful if it seems like it was designed to attract clicks rather than inform readers.

Sales training fails more often than it succeeds.

Whether you call it a funnel, a pipeline, or deals in stages, it's crucial for sales leaders and sales managers to know that their sales team is creating and pursuing the opportunities that ensure they can reach their targets.

Sales outreach has become almost exclusively digitalized, as new software and process automation make lead generation efforts so much simpler. We see fewer cold calls and more email and social media interactions with prospects. This shift in outreach and lead generation has also changed our traditional idea of the Buyer’s Journey dramatically – for better or for worse.

The most important thing you need to know about using LinkedIn for prospecting is what not to do. The social platforms require a different strategy, one that is based on a pull approach instead of a push approach. Most of the people using LinkedIn for prospecting practice an approach we describe as "spray and pray," meaning they are not targeting people and companies that they believe might need what they sell, choosing instead to connect with people with executive titles.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

Dear SaaStr: At What Point Should Founders Pay Themselves a Market Salary? The right answer is: just as soon as the company can afford it. Taking a market salary when cash is very tight is, at best, penny-wise and pound foolish. If you own 20%-30%–50% of a company, the last thing you want to do is take a single dollar out when the company truly needs it.
