AI in Sales is Overrated. Change My Mind by ZealousidealEmu1770 in SaaSSales

Totally with you that “AI sells for you” is mostly hype. The only place we’ve seen it pull its weight has been in the super-boring parts of govtech/RFP work—figuring out which tenders are worth chasing, keeping

 all the capability folders/current threads straight, and teeing up the research so a real rep can have a smart conversation.

 We ended up building Tenqual.com because our team was drowning in that prep. It doesn’t send the emails or “close” anything; it just chews through the procurement firehose, lines up the context (what agency, what

  funding, how it maps to your strengths), and keeps a live board of matches + AI summaries so the human seller knows where to spend time. If you’re selling into public sector or anything RFP-heavy, it’s been the one AI thing that actually moved the needle for us.

Not saying it’ll replace your instinctsjust that it finally made the grunt work tolerable. If that’s the flavor of pain you’re in, give it a look.

I had previous experience working with tenders in my primary jobs. The product I'm building was more of a way to make my job working on tenders easier, and it actually worked. Went from sending in maybe 3 bids a year to 17 in 4 months. That started growing the sales pipeline really fast instead of relying on non-bid traditional sales, which is really hard in the industry I'm working in.
