• "Sales bots should handle the automated prospecting piece, the sourcing and engaging until something's ready for you, until it becomes a human-worthy opportunity."
• "The sale bot is not going to do one thing at a time based on one prompt at a time. Everything the sale bot does originates with the user, their style, their direction."
