AI for Sales Teams. From First Touch to Closed Won.
Reps spend more of the week on admin than on selling. Every hour returned to the pipeline is worth more than any new sequence template.

Ask a rep what they did yesterday and the honest answer is rarely selling.
It was updating the CRM, writing recap emails, building a proposal from an old deck, and looking for a case study.
All necessary. None of it is the job.
The fastest way to grow pipeline is not more outreach.
It is giving reps back the half of the week they lose to admin.
§01 · The problem
Where the time actually goes.
- 01CRM updated from memory, days later
- 02Call recaps written manually after each call
- 03Proposals rebuilt from old decks
- 04Follow-ups delayed until the rep has time
- 05Research done fresh for every account
- 06Forecast built from optimistic guesses
Reps do not need more prompts to send. They need the hours back between the conversations.
§02 · The mechanism
The AI workflow.
- 01
Call happens and is recorded
Trigger - 02
Recap and next steps drafted
Generative AI - 03
CRM fields updated automatically
Automation - 04
Follow-up queued for rep approval
Automation - 05
Proposal assembled from the call
Generative AI - 06
Rep edits, personalises, and sends
Human sign-off
A person closes the loop: the workflow ends on a human or a check against a defined outcome.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the workflow
- Generative AI
- Model drafts something a human will edit
- Automation
- Deterministic. No model involved
- Human sign-off
- Final approval before anything ships
§03 · The difference
Before vs after.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| CRM updated Friday, from memory | CRM updated within minutes of the call |
| Recap email written from scratch | Recap drafted before the rep sits down |
| Proposal cobbled from an old deck | Proposal drafted from what was discussed |
| Follow-up sent three days later | Follow-up ready the same afternoon |
| Account research repeated every time | Research assembled once, reused |
| Forecast based on rep optimism | Forecast built from recorded signals |
§04 · The measure
Time saved.
| Task | Before | With AI | Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRM admin per week | 6 hrs | 30 min | |
| Recap and follow-up | 45 min/call | 5 min | |
| Proposal creation | 3 hrs | 30 min | |
| Selling time | 30% | 60% |
