Understanding **how AI can support a sales team** means separating administration from persuasion. The administration is substantial, repetitive, and worth removing; the persuasion is not something to delegate.

## Where sales time actually goes

Very little of a salesperson's week is spent selling.

- Updating records after conversations
- Categorizing and qualifying inbound enquiries
- Assembling context before a call
- Chasing information from other departments

## What AI can and cannot do here

| Task                                 | AI?                           |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| **Classify inbound enquiries**       | Yes — within permitted fields |
| **Fill category and urgency**        | Yes                           |
| **Answer routine product questions** | Yes, from documentation       |
| **Negotiate terms**                  | No — authority and judgement  |
| **Approve a discount**               | No                            |
