Beyond the Pitch Deck: Why Your Sales Team Needs Live Guidance for a New AI Product

A new AI product launch is a monumental event. Teams spend months, even years, perfecting the technology, crafting the messaging, and building the perfect pitch deck. The assumption is that once this deck is in the hands of the sales team, they'll be ready to sell. But in the unpredictable reality of a live sales call, a static pitch deck is often not enough.

Traditional sales onboarding and training are a one-way street. Information is pushed from product and marketing to sales, with the expectation that every sales professional will memorize it and deploy it perfectly, on command. This outdated model simply can't keep pace with the complexity and nuance of new AI in sales. The moment a customer asks an unscripted question or presents an unexpected objection, the pitch deck becomes useless, and the sales professional is left to improvise.

The Missing Piece: Live Sales Guidance

The truth is, selling a new AI product isn't about memorization; it's about agility. It's about having the right information, at the right moment, to answer any question and address any concern. This is the core principle of effective sales enablement.

Imagine a sales professional who never has to say, "I'll get back to you on that." This is made possible through live sales guidance—a new approach that provides in-the-moment support directly within the sales call. It’s a dynamic sales playbook that adapts to the conversation in real-time.
