The AI Effect on Buying & Selling
Why Sales Has Changed Forever
AI now shapes what buyers know, believe, and expect before your team ever speaks to them — and it gives sellers the power to out-research, out-personalize, and out-prepare the competition.
Winning today means mastering both sides of the AI sales equation.
- Buyers now arrive 80% decided — using their AI to learn everything about you before a first call.
- AI acts as their research assistant, advisor, and gatekeeper, shaping perceptions before you speak.
- At the same time, sales teams have access to AI tools that can out-research, out-personalize, and out-prepare the competition — if they know how to use them.
- Success now depends on mastering both sides: adapting to the AI-shaped buyer and leveraging AI for sales advantage.
