We sell to 340 mid-market companies. In January, I looked at which ones had adopted AI tools in their workflow over the past year. 112 had. 228 hadn't. The 112 that adopted AI tools had an average sales cycle 4 days shorter than the year before. But their close rates didn't change. And their average deal sizes actually dropped 8%. My theory: AI is making teams faster at doing things, but not better at choosing which things to do. The companies in our data that shortened their sales cycle did it by automating follow-ups and proposals. But the proposals were less customized, and prospects could tell. The three companies with the highest revenue growth in our portfolio use AI for research and prep, not for customer-facing output. They're spending more time per deal, not less. They're just spending it on the right things. AI is a leverage tool, not a replacement tool. The data shows the difference.
