Can AI Sales Reps Replace Human Sales Reps?

AI BDRs (or AI Sales Reps) are becoming more popular, but they often perform poorly. A BDR (Business Development Representative) is responsible for booking meetings.

However, when AI takes on this role, there are a few challenges:

‍

1. Small Target Markets (especially in Nordic countries) 🎯

- Dream prospect lists in B2B are often short.

- Outreach volume remains low.

- Expanding the list can cause headaches and reduce prospect quality.

‍

2. Language Barriers 🗣️

- AI’s ability to engage in conversations for example in Finnish is weak.

- While this issue has improved technically, it still affects the quality of the copy.

- We are still learning how to write or prompt natural interactions effectively.

‍

3. Misconception that AI Replaces Human Roles 🦾

- AI and automation are often seen as replacements for human roles.

- Instead, AI should be viewed as a tool for BDRs, not a replacement.

‍

What Can AI and Automation Help With? 🤔

‍

1. AI boosts outreach volume and conversion by supporting initial contact, rather than trying to convert prospects directly.

2. AI-driven outreach can still convert if the content is relevant enough.


3. AI excels in nurturing leads—since nurturing is 70% of sales work, AI and automation can provide significant value here.
