QUOTES

"AI is not the 10th subscription. It's not the next add-on. It's not something to just pile on the obstacle course of SaaS point solutions that you're already using."
"Sales bots should handle the automated prospecting piece, the sourcing and engaging until something's ready for you, until it becomes a human-worthy opportunity."
"The sale bot is not going to do one thing at a time based on one prompt at a time. Everything the sale bot does originates with the user, their style, their direction."
"Anything for decluttering the inbox and making the message stand out more, we're all for."
"Acceleration of repetition is the world we're living in now, but with that acceleration comes more data, more concrete information on an ideal customer profile."
