Tech savvy sales and marketing folks are always looking for an edge over their competition. The past few years have been filled with lots of IT promises whereby AI, machine learning and predictive data analytics will replace the salesperson as a fate de complete. With this in mind will the venerated salesperson ever be replaced by the multi-functional, AI, machine learning toaster? I think not, or at least not in the near future! Think about all the time we waste with companies automated, fun and responsive customer service chatbot "robot" sales rep!
