AI Isn't Deleting Sales Pros — But It IS Coming for Some of Y'all
Intel Brief
Split your week in half. One half is automation Zapier could've handled years ago. The other half is intuition the machine will never have.

Anytime you see “R.I.P. SALES because AI is gonna bla bla bla…”
Ignore.
Might happen eventually. But AI is nowhere close to deleting an entire profession built on human connection out of existence.
AI isn’t deleting sales pros. But it IS coming fast and furious for SOME of y’all.
Split your week in half.
One half is dialers, sequences, call logging, contract links, recap emails. Basic static automation Zapier could’ve handled years ago. None of that has needed AI over the last decade. Now AI just does it faster and cheaper and it never calls in sick. If your whole job lives in that half, you should be rethinking your approach to sales.
Now the other half.
Somebody’s got the money and wants to say yes, and you DISqualify them anyway because you know it’s not gonna work for them. Go back and tell me where that came from. Wasn’t in the playbook. You just knew.
That’s intuition. The machine is doing math. Really fast math. But it has nothing at stake. It can’t care how this ends up for you.
