Is AI Coming for Your Sales Job? - Jeremy Smith
Changing the Perception of Sales
02/19/25 • 62 min
Artificial Intelligence. In recent years, it has grown rapidly from a fun, futuristic possibility to an essential part of everyday life. AI has transformed how we generate ideas, create art, and collaborate with others. But does it have the potential to change the way we sell?
In this episode of Changing the Perception of Sales, we sat down with Jeremy Smith, the founder of Neural Voice, to dive into this game-changing question. Neural Voice is at the forefront of AI-driven sales technology, creating bots that take on key parts of the sales cycle. According to Jeremy, AI isn’t just a tool to assist sales teams—it has the potential to make SDR roles completely obsolete, and sooner than we think.
But is that really where sales is headed? Or is the human element in sales too important to replace? To put this idea to the test, we trialed Neural Voice’s AI SDRs firsthand. How well did they handle prospecting? Could they effectively engage potential customers? And most importantly—did they actually sound human? We break down our experience, discussing the strengths and limitations of AI-driven sales conversations.
Beyond that, we tackled one of the biggest debates in sales right now: is cold calling dying, and is AI killing it? With more companies integrating AI into their sales processes, some believe traditional outreach methods like cold calling will soon be a thing of the past. Others argue that no technology can truly replace the trust and rapport built through a real conversation with a human.
Whether you’re a sales leader, an SDR, or just curious about the future of AI in business, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Will AI take over, or will sales always need the human touch? Tune in to hear our thoughts—and decide for yourself.
