A few years ago, I sat across from a seasoned sales rep named Mark, who had spent 15 years closing deals the old-fashioned way, cold calls, handshakes, and a leather-bound planner. When his company rolled out an AI-powered sales automation platform, his first reaction was skepticism. “This thing is going to replace me,” he muttered, watching […]

Teams are using machine learning to predict churn, tune bids, personalize emails, and speed up creative production, often all at once. At the same time, marketing is being squeezed from both sides. customer attention is harder to earn, and privacy rules (plus cookie changes) […]
