McKinsey just released a report on how AI is transforming B2B sales, and the findings are eye-opening. Here are the top insights you need to know.
1. AI Boosts Sales Rep Efficiency by 15% The first key takeaway?
AI is making sales teams 15% more efficient. By handling repetitive admin tasks like data entry and lead qualification, AI allows sales reps to spend more time focusing on what really matters: closing deals.
