AI as a Sales Tool, Not a Salesperson with Kayla Kurtz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bryan Neale welcomes Kayla Kurtz, VP of Sales and VP of Business Development at Forthea, for a focused conversation on how AI is reshaping modern sales.
Kayla shares how aligning sales and marketing improves lead quality and eliminates the “bad lead” blame game, before diving into practical ways sellers can use AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to refine emails, personalize outreach, and prepare for complex conversations. Bryan and Kayla also address the risks of inaccurate AI outputs and why positioning insights as questions, and not facts, protects credibility.
They close by exploring how buyers are using AI to research vendors and negotiate more strategically, challenging sales teams to elevate their preparation and technical depth. The episode reframes AI as a tool that sharpens execution without replacing relationship-driven selling.
