• The AI provides actionable recommendations on the crucial skills to coach reps on at each stage of the sales process to improve performance, leading to surprising insights for customers.
• ReplayzIQ is developing an AI sales assistant to support reps on calls in real-time and will be conducting "human vs AI" coaching challenges with sales experts.
• To trust AI tools, Dave advises verifying the AI is trained on high-quality, relevant data and testing it yourself to confirm accuracy and value. Don't expect perfection, but leading AI should outperform humans.
