Results in Practice

AI agents are used to qualify leads, manage customer interactions, analyze sentiment, and perform competitive research at scale, freeing human sales reps for relationship-building and closing.

Key Patterns

  • Supervisor Pattern: Lead scoring orchestrates flow
  • Human-in-the-Loop: Handoff to human for closing
  • Tool Use Pattern: CRM, email, calendar integrations

Failure Modes

  • Over-Automation: Prospects feel like they're talking to bots
  • Data Quality: Garbage in, garbage out in scoring
  • Context Loss: Previous interactions not properly surfaced
  • Compliance Risk: Email regulations, privacy laws
Evaluation Challenges

Lead quality is only validated through conversion outcomes. Sales cycles can be long, delaying feedback. Attribution is complex in multi-touch journeys. Personalization quality is subjective.
