Ok, finally an AI that can replace AEs?

I've subscribed to a couple of AI SDR services and they've done more harm than good. So I thought "no way can we have bots for AEs." But, now I may be worried after seeing this. Apologies if the link doesn't work. See post below


Adam's post:


In the last 48 hours, our AI sales rep has handled 80 prospects, delivered 19 demos, sent 6 people SOC2 docs, and gave custom pricing to 2 enterprise accounts. Here’s how our first AI sales motion works:


Last week we downsized RB2B ($5.5m ARR) from 5 to 3 FTE.


One of the roles we eliminated was an Account Executive.


Why? Because our “sales-assisted PLG” turned out to just be PLG.


Meanwhile, a year ago we made an early bet on Fin.


I wanted RB2B to be a huge free offer, but I was terrified of the support burden.


Fin wasn’t great a year ago. It was answering things incorrectly, humans had to get involved over 75% of the time.


Over time, Robb has willed it to resolving over 70% of tickets correctly, with no human intervention, declared by the user!


That is bananas!

sigh, RBRB is website to show you who visited your website it has no complexity to it. Honestly this is an AI replacement candidate. most sales roles are not like this though.

Yeah! Agreed. It might work great in an industry where inbound flow is heavy and unfortunately now, we barely have enough industries like that.

I don't know it, but based on what I just read this seems very accurate.

RDJ was on with Rogan and they asked him point blank if tropic thunuder could be made today and do well and Downey said something to the effect of "You could make it but it would be slammed for sensitivity."
