Use AI to Save Sales Time Before You Hire Your First Rep

🎯 Episode Summary

Sales often lands squarely on the CEO’s plate, leaving little time for leadership, strategy, or growth. Greg Grand shares how business owners and sales leaders can use AI to speed up research, improve prospecting, prepare for better sales conversations, and build a more repeatable sales process.

You will also hear how to know when it is time to hire your first salesperson, why generic outreach is losing ground, and how AI can support stronger sales habits without replacing the human connection buyers still expect.
