Failure to Leverage AI in Prospecting

Definition:

  • SDRs manually research leads and personalize messaging, reducing output and response quality.
  • SDRs may not use AI tools effectively to surface high-fit leads, leaving AEs with a lower-quality pipeline.
Impact on Revenue Growth:

  • Slower outreach velocity, inconsistent personalization, and lower reply rates.
  • AEs spend more time disqualifying bad-fit leads, reducing focus on active selling.
Solution:

  • Introduced AI tools best suited for this startup's environment, which helped to automate research and message generation while maintaining relevance.
  • Integrate AI-driven lead scoring and enrichment at the top of the funnel, ensuring only qualified leads reach AEs and improving forecast accuracy.
