    May 15 2023
    Rohan, Eugene, and Shayne talk about what are the technical innovations driving the explosion in Large Language Models recently. Shayne talks about how much uncertainty there is about which applications LLMs will be good at - uncertainty that might take a decade to be resolved. Eugene brings his perspective on what a successful seller will look like in a world where synthesis, Mail outreach, summarization, and information retrieval are taken care of by LLMs. As they continue the conversation - they talk about trusting AI models, and whether we’ll ever move from AI-assisted human selling to human-supervised AI selling. Rohan, for one, believes that AI will never be able to completely replace the human seller because human beings want to talk to another human when they are making $10K purchases or larger. Lots of interesting stuff for folks interested in a plain English introduction to LLMs and future applications they might enable.

    Jun 5 2023
    Tammy and Arwa share their inspirational, but very different, journeys to tech sales leadership - Tammy started off as an SDR, while Arwa started in finance and accounting. Rohan, Tammy, and Arwa talk about how AI is likely to play a pivotal role in the evolution of the sales profession – liberating sales leaders and reps from mundane tasks and empowering them to focus on high-value activities. They also talk about the potential of AI to democratize sales by making it easier for people from all backgrounds to enter the profession. Big discussion topic - Does AI change the relative importance of: (a) prior domain knowledge, vs. (b) attitude: curiosity, commitment to learning, and discipline when it comes to success in sales? For example: are sales leaders more likely to hire people with limited prior domain expertise but a fantastic commitment to learning, because AI allows faster learning and education than ever before?
