AI tools are great at making your team a lot more productive. So what’s the catch? Costs!?

Like many Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools, you need to keep a close look at the tangible value you generate for your business. A great example is GONG - this “Revenue Intelligence Platform” promises to optimize your sales conversations, calls, emails and even coach your team. However the economics did not work for us so it did not make it on our list of tools we use each day.
