Your sales org should incorporate AI but not rely on it.  AI is a shortcut. It is shortcut to what the masses are thinking. It is the 2023 version of what the internet was in 2000. You should absolutely incorporate it as a shortcut. I see it very helpful when it comes to onboarding new reps. 

The truth is AI doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. If you have unique perspectives, unique products, unique services, and a unique approach, AI can’t help you. If could go even go against what you’re trying to accomplish.

As others have mentioned it is in everything.  However, if you master it it (even if you only use the LLMs like ChatGPT or Bard) you can reduce ramp for new reps by months, automate execution of deep work tasks by management (with human oversight), and give you skill sets that you currently don't have. Also, I 1000% agree with @Sheevan Thatcher that you will be left behind if you are not experimenting or intentionally focusing on leveling up your game.

Great for a lot of things, but most specifically I love it for prospecting Enterprise Accounts and Opportunities

Yes. Right now Microsoft has made investments in ChatGPT and it's incorporated into some of the work we do with our customers. We can incorporate some of that in some of the sales operations we already use, like machine learning to look at our numbers and gain some patterns out of that. Also, thinking about how we can take that next step and incorporate it into some of the work we do for our proposal teams.
