Summary

AI is everywhere. Salespeople are using it every day. But are you using it the right way?

Caroline Cutter from Dayton, Ohio, calls in with a question a lot of sales professionals are wrestling with right now: how do you leverage AI efficiently without losing the human touch that actually closes deals?

Jeb's answer is going to challenge the way you think about technology in sales.

In this episode, Jeb breaks down the three types of salespeople in the AI era, and only one of them wins long-term. He explains why AI-generated emails are not just getting deleted; they are getting you blocked and costing you access to prospects permanently. He also shares how he personally uses AI to prepare faster, write smarter, and spend more time doing what only humans can do: connecting, reading the room, and building trust.

Here is the truth: AI is not going to kill sales. But it is absolutely going to punish mediocrity. The reps who survive and thrive will be the ones who use technology as a force multiplier without losing their humanity in the process.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why wisdom is scarce in a world of unlimited intelligence
  • The three types of salespeople in the AI era and which one wins
  • Why AI-blasted emails are burning lists and closing doors permanently
  • How Jeb personally uses AI to prep, draft, and move faster without sacrificing quality
  • Why right now is a boom time for in-person and phone prospecting
  • How to use AI responsibly so it works for you, not against you
