Description

Episode Summary

Sandy Robinson talks with Sahil Aggarwal, co-founder and CEO of Rattle and Von, about what AI can actually change for revenue teams. Sahil argues that RevOps, sales, and GTM leaders are still in the experimentation phase, and that the real productivity gains will come from AI intelligence layers that understand business context, connect across the GTM stack, and help teams make faster, better decisions.

Key Takeaways

• AI has not yet delivered true productivity gains in revenue teams the way it has in engineering.
• RevOps should focus less on disconnected agents and more on operationalizing intelligence across the GTM stack.
• CRM is still the system of record, but the intelligence layer may become the more valuable operating layer.
• Bad data should not delay AI adoption; AI can help improve GTM data when connected to calls, emails, CRM, and other systems.
• RevOps is best positioned to own GTM AI strategy because the function lives closest to process, data, and execution.
