Master AI for Sales: The Strategy That Will 10X Your Revenue

Founder and CEO @ Selling Power Magazine | SMEI Pinnacle Award, Sales Management
Remember when creating sales was about shaking hands, making calls, and playing the numbers game? Well, forget it. The rules have changed. AI isn’t coming for your job—it’s rewriting the entire playbook.
This week we sat down with Thomas Ross to discuss what that means for sales leaders. The takeaway? AI is no longer just a sales assistant—it’s replacing traditional sales teams. In 2025, market leaders will use AI to handle 70% of their go-to-market (GTM) strategies, creating an insurmountable gap for companies that hesitate.
The Problem: We’ve Been Playing, Not Planning
Let’s be honest. Most organizations have been dabbling in AI like kids in a sandbox—grabbing shiny tools, digging here and there. The result? Chaos. AI tools everywhere, but no strategy. Data floating in silos.
“Playtime is over,” Ross says. The winners in this game are those who stop tinkering and start integrating. They’re aligning AI with their revenue goals, treating it as a strategic partner rather than a tech fad. And guess what? They’re pulling ahead while others are left wondering why their numbers are tanking.
The AI Surge: Not a Luxury, a Lifeline
AI isn’t a nice-to-have anymore—it’s the oxygen of modern sales. Customers aren’t searching the way they used to. They’re not filling out forms. They’re not responding to cold emails. They’re asking AI for answers, and if your company isn’t showing up in those responses, you’re invisible.
More importantly, AI doesn’t just generate leads; it qualifies them, nurtures them, and hands your sales team a fully prepared prospect on a silver platter. It eliminates the grind and lets sales reps do what they do best: build relationships and close deals.
But here’s the kicker: AI works 24/7. It doesn’t need coffee breaks. It doesn’t get sick. And it doesn’t miss follow-ups. If you’re still relying on manual processes, you’re not just behind—you’re outmatched.

This is a workshop, meaning you’ll roll up your sleeves, work through real scenarios, and walk away with a plan you can implement immediately.
The Hard Truth: Adapt or Fade Away
Mark Benioff recently said Salesforce isn’t hiring more programmers—they’re hiring salespeople to sell Agentforce solutions. Why? Because AI isn’t replacing people; it’s transforming roles. It’s amplifying potential, eliminating grunt work, and creating space for high-impact sales conversations.
So, the question isn’t should you integrate AI into your sales strategy? It’s how fast can you make it happen?
