With that- what about customers wanting to talk to a human? I know when I have a problem I don't like to waste my time with a "bot" -But with AI, will people notice if its a human or not?
This has always been what has held the role in place.
AAAANNND- what is the cost threshold? Will development reps be more affordable for smaller businesses? As the tech for AI (good ai) could be too much of a cost for smaller businesses?

Big difference between a trained machine and a chatbot. It's almost freaking cognitive at this point.

Say AI one more motherfuckin time.
SDRs and BDRs wonโt die off. The teams will be smaller, the efficiency will be higher.
If you can go from 10 to 4 SDRs with equal or greater output because tools and process are improvedโฆthen itโs a no brainer.

I know.. Saying Aeeeyyy IIIIIIII is like the bad work that came out of 2020..
I agree- scale down and zero in.. HIGH QUALITY vs Quantity.
Having a development team that does a quality discovery call can bring a lot of value. Its also the lineup team for future sellers.

This is a common thought. Respectfully, I would like to ask why you're on this side of it.

@poweredbycaffeine actually might murder someone the next time AI is brought up. Youโve all been warned.

Itโs much more nurture. You need to be on top of these people to remind them of the value prop, and that you exist.

If anything I think it will only make Sales dev teams better and more important. It's going to make it possible to get to more inbound leads quicker along with more curated outreach.

Absolutely, people don't want to talk to an AI - human interaction will be a premium in a few years.
