The AI Edge: How to Use Technology Without Losing Your Human Touch (Ask Jeb)

AI is everywhere. Salespeople are using it every day. But are you using it the right way?

Caroline Cutter from Dayton, Ohio, calls in with a question a lot of sales professionals are wrestling with right now: how do you leverage AI efficiently without losing the human touch that actually closes deals?

Jeb's answer is going to challenge the way you think about technology in sales.

In this episode, Jeb breaks down the three types of salespeople in the AI era, and only one of them wins long-term. He explains why AI-generated emails are not just getting deleted; they are getting you blocked and costing you access to prospects permanently. He also shares how he personally uses AI to prepare faster, write smarter, and spend more time doing what only humans can do: connecting, reading the room, and building trust.

Here is the truth: AI is not going to kill sales. But it is absolutely going to punish mediocrity. The reps who survive and thrive will be the ones who use technology as a force multiplier without losing their humanity in the process.

• Why wisdom is scarce in a world of unlimited intelligence
