  <title>AI in sales - Obsolete humans or enhanced workforce?</title>
  <description>Are you scared for your job? &amp;amp;nbsp; Today salespeople are needed for various types of selling. &amp;amp;nbsp; Anton Dobrzhanskiy and Miro Putkonen explain how while some types of selling, like transactional, could become obsolete due to AI-driven automation, other types like consultative, solution, and provocative selling might still require human salespeople to understand customer needs, solve unique problems, and challenge customer assumptions. &amp;amp;nbsp; However, advancements in AI and AGI could potentially allow for the automation of these complex sales processes as well. &amp;amp;nbsp; There are some uniquely human aspects of sales, such as building relationships, empathy, and understanding customers on a deeper level.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Trust and rapport are likely to remain important in sales and AI might struggle to replicate this. &amp;amp;nbsp; Ultimately AI can be used to augment and empower human salespeople, rather than replace them. &amp;amp;nbsp; For now anyway… &amp;amp;nbsp; Take the Scorecard &amp;amp;nbsp; Connect with Anton on LinkedIn &amp;amp;nbsp; Connect with&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Miro on LinkedIn </description>
