We're accidentally creating a generation of salespeople who can't sell

I've been watching this weird trend in B2B sales, and it's honestly keeping me up at night.

Everyone's rushing to implement AI sales tools (rightfully so - the efficiency gains are insane), but we might be accidentally breaking the entire profession.

We found our best client channel (and it’s not what we expected)

In the last 6 months, over 500+ clients have started using Pleep.

We ve tested a bunch of ways to get here:

  • Social media gave us reach one LinkedIn post hit ~3,500 impressions but conversions were tiny (2 3 trials at best).

  • Investor intros opened doors 12 warm leads, 3 serious pilots, 1 paying customer but it s slow.

  • Conferences were the most fun in Shanghai I even met Angry Birds co-founder and we closed 4 deals from live demos. But they take a lot of time.

  • Ads turned out surprisingly effective a $500 Meta campaign drove ~120 trial signups in 10 days. Not viral, but the closest we ve seen to predictable growth.
