Our research shows that more than 70% of buyers wait until after they have already defined their needs to engage sellers. They see sellers as product representatives rather than problem-solvers, and often see little to differentiate one seller from another.

That means if you’re an SDR, there’s a 52% chance you’ll hit the phones hard, send tons of emails, and not even reach 90% quota. Couple that with an entry-level salary, and you’ll understand why most SDRs do everything they can to be promoted to AE or any position outside of sales.

The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Why do venture capitalists invest in lots of companies even though 90% of them go bankrupt? Well, 90% of most venture-backed startups that don’t go bankrupt. They at least try to pick the best ones they can. That helps — a bit. But many still do. The “loss ratio” at early-stage VC firms is often around 40% by logo, and 20%-30% by dollars. In other words, 4/10 may go bankrupt or at least lose money … but since the winners tend to get more than the losers, in the end, maybe “only” 20%-30%

Take, for instance, a product pricing landing page that gives incorrect information (or, hides the price entirely … ). Alternatively, consider a social media advertisement that claims a product will do X, Y, and Z — but then, when you order it, you find it can only do X.
