AI won't take your sales job, it will help you sell better.

When ranking the list of professions that are likely to be replaced by AI, sales is often way down on the list, along with chiropractors and preachers. The rationale for such predictions are that sales is still considered a high-touch profession. A recent survey showed that in certain industries, people would rather buy from someone who is charismatic and fun even if that salesperson doesn't know their product well. Respondents preferred that charismatic-but-dim salesperson to someone who knows their stuff but is on the dull side. That seems to bode well for those fear who their job will go the way of VCRs.
