Let’s be honest about AI and sales.
Everyone’s looking for the easy button. The magic solution. The technology that will finally make selling effortless.
Stop.
The Hard Truth
AI won’t fix your sales problem. Because AI isn’t your sales problem.
Your sales problem is:
- Not making enough calls
- Not having enough conversations
- Not following up consistently
- Not asking for the business
No algorithm will fix that.
The Real Problem
You don’t need AI to:
- Pick up the phone
- Listen to a prospect
- Understand their problems
- Offer solutions
You just need to do it.
The False Promise
AI promises to make selling easier. But selling isn’t supposed to be easy. It’s supposed to be valuable.
When someone needs:
- A consultant to solve their problem
- An expert to guide their decisions
- A professional to trust with their future
They don’t want easier. They want better.
The Simple Math
Every sale comes down to:
Human problems.
Human conversations.
Human decisions.
AI can’t:
- Read the room
- Feel the hesitation
- Build the trust
- Make the connection
That’s your job.
The Real Work
Sales isn’t failing because we lack technology.
It’s failing because we’re avoiding the work.
The work of:
- Having real conversations
- Asking tough questions
- Following up consistently
- Being professionally persistent
The Truth About Solutions
Want to fix your sales?
Make the calls.
Have the conversations.
Do the follow-up.
Ask for the business.
That’s it.
That’s the solution.
That’s always been the solution.
The Choice
You can:
- Wait for AI to save you
- Or start saving yourself
You can:
- Hope for a technological breakthrough
- Or break through your own resistance
You can:
- Look for an easy button
- Or press the real buttons on your phone
The Next Step
Stop waiting for AI to fix your sales.
Stop looking for the magic solution.
Stop avoiding the real work.
Instead:
Pick up your phone.
Make the call. Have the conversation.
Do it again tomorrow.
Because here’s the truth:
The only thing standing between you and better sales…
Is you.
Not your technology.
Not your AI.
Just you.
Now go do the work.
