AI-powered tech streamlines sales prospecting tasks at 16x the human rate
Sailes, the industry leader in AI-powered sales prospecting, debuts Sailebot 2 – a revolutionary autonomous AI system designed to eliminate manual tasks in favor of high-value, high-return sales activities. With the capacity to streamline tasks at an impressive 16x the human rate, Sailebot® 2 alleviates the burdens of administrative work for sales executives. Last year, this patent-pending technology automated a staggering 33 million sales prospecting tasks, resulting in 2.5M hours saved in labor. Boasting a remarkable 130% increase in prospecting efficiency, Sailebot® 2 sets a new standard for enterprise sales success.
Sales teams find themselves bogged down in administrative work that holds them back from the actual job of selling. Recent reports show that, despite the urgency to close deals swiftly, sales professionals spend only 28% of their week engaged in actual selling, with the rest consumed by tedious administrative tasks. Nick Smith, Founder and CEO of Sailes said, “Salespeople used to spend six hours a day selling and two hours updating their CRM. They were told it was inefficient. Now, salespeople spend six hours a day in platforms and dashboards and not nearly enough time selling. They’re not doing what they love, they’re not doing what they were hired to do, and less business is being closed.”

Exacerbating the issue, the high turnover rate among sales professionals leaves positions vacant, but funds for hiring replacements are limited, with 85% of sales leaders struggling to secure budgets for essential headcount. This underscores an industry-wide need for automation that amplifies the capabilities of human representatives.
“With this latest product release, Sailes continues to strengthen its market-leading platform and provide even more value for its rapidly growing customer base. Sales teams now have even greater control and ability to customize their Sailebots, enjoy enhanced reporting and analytics, and benefit from Sailes’ ever-improving, cutting-edge AI and conversational intelligence. It’s incredibly exciting to see Sailes revolutionizing the way enterprise sales teams function,” said Michael Rockhold, Principal, Lewis & Clark Ventures.
Aimed at enterprise sales teams, Sailebot® has captured the attention of several Fortune 50 companies, many of which are pairing unique Sailebots 1:1 with Account Executives as an alternative to the traditional SDR model. Sailebots are unique to the personality and programmed to the specific inputs of each sales rep to automate all prospecting – from research and discovery to data cleansing, interaction, and delivery of actionable revenue opportunities. Sales reps get their very own AI, unique to themselves, while sales leadership receives reporting on labor savings and market insights.
In 2023, Sailes participated in the Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator focused on Enterprise AI, where they were able to develop connections and introductions with various teams at Comcast. “One of the key objectives of our accelerator is to foster deeper connections between startups and teams at Comcast to explore and learn more about emerging technologies, and we are excited to have Sailes and their strong leadership team as part of our LIFT Labs portfolio,” said Luke Butler, Executive Director of Startup Engagement at Comcast NBCUniversal.
Sailebot® 2 leads the industry in sales automation, uniquely capable of autonomously managing tasks from data lookup and email validation to content generation and email responses. What sets it apart is its unparalleled ability to mirror the individual personality and sales style of each representative. As a digital extension, Sailebot® 2 seamlessly adapts to diverse sales approaches, accommodating assertive closers and relationship builders alike.
Smith added, “Sailebots are digital extensions of salespeople, mirroring their personalities and sales styles and do the prospecting work hands-free. It’s a real-life solution to the age-old problem: ‘I wish there were two of me’.”
