Sales teams can dramatically improve performance by using AI to support mid-funnel activities like research, preparation, and proposal development. That’s according to David Marshall, founder of SalesGrid, an AI-powered sales productivity platform designed to support sales teams working on large, complex deals. With 25+ years in B2B sales innovation, including the success of Performio, David brings deep expertise in how sales tech can drive results.
David explains how SalesGrid’s AI engine, Savvy, is helping sales teams execute better by focusing on 12 key mid-funnel sales jobs—from researching prospects to tailoring content, managing proposals, and negotiating close. He shares findings from his recent report, The Future of Sales Execution, revealing a disconnect between perceived importance and actual revenue impact in sales activities.
David emphasises the need for organisations to be intentional in their AI adoption, starting small with high-impact jobs, building a business case, and scaling from there. His core message: AI won’t replace salespeople—it will make them more effective, efficient, and ultimately, more successful.
