Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer an experimental tool in B2B sales it is rapidly becoming the backbone of every modern revenue engine. Just a year ago, only about one-third of companies used generative AI in their business functions. Today, that number has soared to 65%, with sales and marketing leading the charge (McKinsey, 2025).

Gartner predicts a seismic shift: by 2027, 95% of seller-research workflows will begin with AI, up from less than 20% in 2024. As AI moves from “nice-to-have” to core infrastructure, forward-thinking CROs, RevOps, and revenue leaders must embrace AI sales assistants to sustain competitive advantage and accelerate pipeline growth.

The AI Inflection Point in B2B Sales

The market momentum behind AI is unmistakable:

  • Adoption: 65% of companies now deploy generative AI in at least one function, with sales & marketing showing the largest jump.

  • Forecast: Gartner expects 95% of seller-research workflows to start with AI by 2027 (vs. <20% in 2024).

  • Investment: 92% of executives plan to increase AI budgets over the next three years; 55% expect at least a 10% budget increase (McKinsey, 2025).

Implication for Revenue Leaders: AI sales assistants are becoming baseline infrastructure. Early adopters will realize outsized gains in pipeline velocity, conversion rates, and cost efficiency.
