Fast Forward Virtual Summit

In a world that's about to get eaten by AI, what's more important for sellers? Embracing the robots, or being more human than ever?

The answer is both. The most successful sellers of tomorrow will learn to unleash their creativity, personalities, curiosity, and customer empathy while using AI to work smarter and scale that human connection.

Join 15x author, speaker, and sales acceleration trainer Jeb Blount for an interactive discussion on the intersection of AI and sales, the importance of leaning into your humanity, and what skills will be most critical for sellers in the years ahead. Bring your questions for our live Q&A and learn how to best navigate the rapidly changing world of sales.

78% of reps are single-threaded on deals (LinkedIn). It’s the #1 reason why most sellers lose big deals.

When you engage five or more stakeholders in the deal, your chances of closed/won increases by 25% (UserGems). Multi-threading is THE key to winning larger deals faster, but these conversations are awkward. Buyers are reluctant to introduce you to power.

Here's the key: Show your buyer why it's in their best interest to involve others—they'll get a much better outcome from your solution. Learn how to do it in this session.

Join sales trainer Jason Bay, account executive Krysten Conner, and sales explorer Chris van Praag for an interactive discussion on how to multi-thread. Learn how to make sure you're never single-threaded or stuck below the power line in a deal ever again.

AI is eating the internet, and for mostly good reasons. It can be your assistant, your researcher, your sidekick, and your scribe. It can help you get more done in way less time, and discover new ways to solve old problems.
