E13: How AI Can Make Your Sales People Unstoppable & Build A Sales Machine

In this episode of AI for Business, I sit down with Doug Dvorak on the Best Seller Podcast to unpack how AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a force multiplier in sales. We talk through how artificial intelligence is completely transforming prospecting, lead qualification, and follow-up—allowing teams to focus on what they do best: closing deals.

 

I share my journey from call center sales to building an AI-driven brand, and explain why AI is not replacing great salespeople—it’s making them unstoppable. If you’re tired of wasting time on low-quality leads or feel like you’re stuck doing repetitive tasks that drain your energy, this episode will show you how to turn your sales system into a well-oiled machine.

Five Key Takeaways

 

1. AI is a multiplier, not a replacement – It handles the tasks you hate, so you can close more with less effort.

2. Lead revival is real – AI bots can have thousands of real-time conversations to re-engage cold leads and book more calls.

3. Voice and text AI are leveling up fast – Emotion, tone, and context make AI feel human—and sometimes even outperform reps.

4. Start small, but strategic – Implement AI where your biggest business bottleneck is, not where it’s most exciting.

5. This isn’t a trend—it’s a revolution – Sales organizations that embrace AI now will dominate those that don’t.
