Close invites you to their event

AI in Sales Live Panel: What’s actually changing (and what isn’t)

About this event

Cut through the noise. Hear from the people doing it — what's real, what's hype, and where to start.

There's no shortage of opinions about AI in sales. What's harder to find is someone who's actually doing it, willing to tell you what's working and what isn't — without selling you something.

Close is bringing together a panel of AI Sales practitioners from Eleven Labs, Clay, and Panda Doc to give you a ground-level view of what's changed, what small teams should actually pay attention to, and what's still not ready for prime time.

If you're early in figuring out where AI fits in your sales process, this hour is for you.

You'll leave with:

  • A clear picture of what small teams are automating — and what they're not
  • Honest takes on what's delivered real results vs. what's still experimental
  • Practical starting points you can bring back to your team the same day

We’ll save time at the end for Q&A, so bring your questions.
