AI has officially taken over the sales world, but is it actually helping you close more business?

In this episode of The Selling Point, Anthony Nicks breaks down the truth behind the AI wave hitting small and mid-sized businesses. With every vendor pitching “AI-powered” sales tools, CEOs are left wondering what’s real, what’s hype, and what will genuinely drive revenue.

Anthony cuts through the noise and gets real about:

• Why AI is everywhere and why CEOs are right to pay attention
• The specific areas where AI actually helps SMB sales teams
• The biggest myths and oversold promises flooding the market
• How AI can expose your leadership or process gaps faster than ever
• Why SMBs often get AI adoption wrong
• The real risk of automating chaos
• The question every CEO should ask before choosing any tool
• How AI becomes a force multiplier only when the right sales system exists
• Where Fractional Sales Management fills the leadership gap

AI is powerful... but it does not replace leadership, structure, or accountability. It amplifies what already exists. If your system is solid, AI accelerates it. If your system is sloppy, AI makes the mess bigger.

This episode gives CEOs the clarity they need to make smart decisions about AI, sales teams, and where to invest to actually grow revenue.
