The End of Sales as We Know It
Gerhard Gschwandtner
Founder and CEO @ Selling Power Magazine | SMEI Pinnacle Award, Sales Management
Jack Siney’s journey began in adversity. Growing up with two alcoholic parents, he witnessed dysfunction firsthand. It was a childhood filled with instability and challenges that could have easily defined his future. Instead, Jack chose a different path.
He started his career in structured environments—working with the Navy on the Blue Angels program and later with PricewaterhouseCoopers. These roles provided discipline, but they also fueled his entrepreneurial ambitions. Over two decades, Jack built multiple successful ventures, including a groundbreaking GovTech company. His perseverance turned hardship into opportunity, culminating in FrontRace—a revolutionary tool poised to transform the sales landscape.
Jack’s story reminds us: resilience is the foundation of success. When faced with setbacks, the choice to rise above defines us.
The Seismic Shift in Sales
“Everything has changed,” Jack says. And he means everything—how we market, prospect, demo, train, and lead. COVID-19 accelerated these shifts. Remote work, hybrid teams, and digital fatigue reshaped the way businesses operate. Sales organizations that once thrived found themselves plateauing at 80% of their potential. The tools and strategies that worked pre-pandemic no longer deliver the same results.
Jack argues that sales is on the brink of a seismic shift. Incremental adjustments won’t suffice. The convergence of macro trends—hybrid work, AI, and shifting workforce dynamics—demands bold, transformative action.
Sales leaders must confront these shifts head-on, or risk being left behind. The status quo isn’t enough anymore.
The Role of AI
Artificial intelligence is everywhere. “AI functionality” is plastered across websites and product pitches, but most organizations are still figuring out how to use it effectively. Jack likens the current AI frenzy to the dot-com boom. Companies rushed to add “.com” to their branding, just as they now claim AI capabilities. But few understand its true potential.
FrontRace cuts through the noise. Jack’s new platform doesn’t just integrate AI—it enhances every sales tool already in use. It simplifies decision-making, filters data into actionable insights, and empowers salespeople to perform at their best.
Jack believes AI is not a replacement for human intelligence but a powerful tool to amplify it. Sales success will come to those who master this balance.
Engaging the Next-Generation Workforce
The new generation of employees never experienced the office grind of cubicles and rush hour. Their expectations are fundamentally different. They seek purpose, flexibility, and technology that works seamlessly. For many companies, this workforce represents a challenge. For Jack, it’s an opportunity.
FrontRace is designed with this next-gen workforce in mind. It aligns with their values and equips them with tools that foster collaboration and efficiency. Jack emphasizes the importance of meeting employees where they are—both physically and culturally. Sales leaders who fail to adapt risk losing talent to competitors who do.
Technology Overload
Sales leaders face a deluge of tech solutions promising to revolutionize sales and enablement, with many left overwhelmed by the sheer complexity. As one leader put it, “When Salesforce launched, there were a handful of CRM solutions. Today, Salesforce alone has over 4,000 apps in its ecosystem.”
FrontRace’s revolutionary approach simplifies these complexities, offering sales leaders and teams a unified system to address these challenges without adding another tool to their tech stack.

What Makes FrontRace Unique
Jack, shared the capabilities of FrontRace, explaining its two core offerings:
1.?? Connecting the Dots: FrontRace integrates all of a company’s existing systems—messaging platforms, CRMs, video conferencing tools, and more—into one unified view. This not only simplifies data access but allows leaders to analyze trends and performance metrics like never before. For example, companies can now pinpoint how their top performers operate and replicate these strategies across their teams.
2.?? AI-Powered Insights: FrontRace uses AI to analyze this new dataset, uncovering patterns and recommending precise next steps at every stage of the sales process. Whether it’s determining the best time to call a prospect, the optimal sequence of follow-ups, or avoiding actions that might harm a deal, the AI provides actionable, data-driven guidance tailored to the company’s unique sales environment.
As Jack emphasized, “The difference between being good and great isn’t big things—it’s the 20 little details.” FrontRace identifies and leverages these details, empowering companies to bridge the gap between average performance and consistent sales excellence.
With AI serving as a virtual business analyst, companies no longer need to rely on intuition or external reports to make informed decisions. Instead, they get customized guidance—specific to their organization—that highlights key insights and actions to take. Says Jack: “It’s no longer stop and go for salespeople. They never have to wait again. FrontRace keeps them in the know and salespeople will stay in the flow.”
Looking Ahead
FrontRace will officially launch on December 3rd at the Sales Training and Enablement Summit. As part of this launch, companies can sign up for a free trial through https://www.frontrace.com/sellingpower, ?allowing them to experience firsthand the transformative impact of this technology.
