Autonomous Sales Agents for Enterprise Revenue Teams

30 minutes

In this episode, host Michael Bernzweig talks with Roi Carmel, CEO and co‑founder of Spotlight AI, about how autonomous agents can fix enterprise sales productivity. Roi explains why reps spend most of their time on documentation, updating systems, and analysis instead of selling, and why quota attainment has barely improved despite a decade of new tools. He shares how Spotlight’s layered sales intelligence model and agents for qualification, discovery, inspection, analytics, value consulting, and content can sit on top of your existing stack, automate hundreds of thousands of tasks, and give leaders more reliable forecasts and win patterns.
