The Sales Bottleneck Problem
Mike opens by diagnosing why most sales teams plateau — they're stuck in a cycle of manual prospecting, inconsistent follow-ups, and CRM neglect. He frames the core problem: sales teams spend 65% of their time on non-selling activities, and AI is the only way to flip that ratio.
- Why adding more reps doesn't solve the fundamental efficiency problem
- The 65/35 split: how much time your team actually spends selling
- The AI opportunity: automating the 65% so humans focus on closing
AI-Powered Prospecting
A deep dive into using AI agents to automate prospecting. Mike demonstrates how AI can research target accounts, identify decision-makers, craft personalized outreach, and manage multi-channel sequences — all without human involvement until a prospect engages.
- AI research agents that build prospect dossiers in seconds
- Personalized outreach at scale — beyond "Hi {First Name}" templates
- Multi-channel sequencing: email, LinkedIn, phone — coordinated by AI
- Case study: 4x increase in qualified meetings with AI prospecting
Pipeline Intelligence
Mike shows how AI transforms your pipeline from a static list into an intelligent system that actively manages itself. From automatic deal scoring to risk detection to next-best-action recommendations, AI gives sales managers real-time visibility they've never had before.
- AI deal scoring that predicts close probability with 85%+ accuracy
- Automatic risk detection: flagging stalled deals before they die
- Next-best-action recommendations for every deal in your pipeline
- Pipeline analytics dashboards that update in real time
Automated Follow-Ups That Convert
The follow-up is where most deals are won or lost — and where most sales teams fail. Mike walks through how AI agents handle follow-up sequences with context awareness, perfect timing, and personalization that feels human.
- Why 80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups — and why most reps stop at 2
- AI follow-up agents that adapt messaging based on prospect behavior
- Timing optimization: AI determines the best moment to reach out
- Handoff protocols: when AI escalates to a human rep
Deal Acceleration Techniques
Mike reveals specific AI-powered techniques for shortening the sales cycle. From automated proposal generation to real-time objection handling to competitive intelligence, these tools help reps close faster with less friction.
- AI-generated proposals and SOWs tailored to each prospect's needs
- Real-time objection handling: AI surfaces winning responses during calls
- Competitive intelligence agents that track and analyze competitor moves
- Meeting prep automation: AI-generated briefings before every call
CRM & AI Integration
Most CRMs are underutilized data warehouses. Mike shows how to layer AI on top of your existing CRM to unlock its full potential — automatic data enrichment, activity logging, and intelligent insights that make your CRM the strategic hub it was meant to be.
- Automatic CRM data enrichment from web, social, and email signals
- AI-powered activity logging — no more manual data entry for reps
- Intelligent dashboards that surface the insights that matter most
- Integration patterns for Salesforce, HubSpot, and other major CRMs
Sales Forecasting with AI
Mike dives into AI-powered forecasting that goes beyond gut-feel predictions. By analyzing historical patterns, deal velocity, and pipeline health signals, AI delivers revenue forecasts that leadership can actually trust — and act on.
- Why traditional forecasting fails: the bias and data quality problems
- AI forecasting models that learn from your historical win/loss patterns
- Scenario planning: modeling best-case, expected, and worst-case outcomes
Building Your AI Sales Stack & Q&A
Mike closes with a practical guide to building your AI sales stack — which tools to start with, how to layer them, and the implementation sequence that delivers the fastest ROI. The session ends with audience Q&A covering tool selection, team adoption, and measuring results.
- The AI sales stack: essential tools for prospecting, pipeline, and closing
- Implementation sequence: which AI tools to deploy first for fastest impact
- Team adoption strategies: getting reps to embrace AI, not resist it
- Measuring AI sales ROI: the metrics that matter
