    S01 E08 - Why the Human Element Still Wins in B2B Sales (Even in the Age of AI) | Vince Burruano

    What happens to B2B sales when AI starts buying on behalf of buyers? Vince Burruano, fractional sales leader, consultant, and author of A Daily Dose of Sales Wisdom, joins Revenue Unscripted to dig into the future of the sales profession and why the human element isn't going anywhere. With nearly 30 years leading sales teams across the moving and office technology industries, Vince brings a sharp, practical perspective on what separates elite sales professionals from the rest - and what leaders need to do right now to protect and grow the value of their sales teams.From the psychology of buyer resistance to the cultural cost of tolerating toxic top performers, this conversation covers ground that every sales leader and CEO needs to hear. Vince and Jennica explore how AI and RFP-driven procurement are accelerating commoditization, why hiring for cultural fit and intellectual curiosity matters more than ever, and how the sales professionals who do the unglamorous fundamentals consistently will be the ones who thrive as the landscape shifts. Key Takeaways: Handwritten notes and thank you cards still differentiate sales professionals in ways that digital communication simply cannot replicateAsking permission to take notes during a sales meeting slows the conversation down in a good way and signals genuine listeningAI will increasingly sit between sales professionals and real decision-makers, making it critical to sell through and past procurement gatekeepersThe transactional sale has largely been absorbed by digital channels - if you're not selling something complex and relationship-driven, price will always winUltra high performers do all the small things consistently that average performers skipCultural toxicity from a top performer is never free - what you tolerate, you signal is acceptablePeople don't change until the benefit of changing outweighs the perceived cost by at least 2xSales professionals who operate like true business professionals - bringing industry insight, preparation, and genuine curiosity - will be the ones AI cannot replaceCulture is not what's in the employee handbook; it's what people do when no one is watching Connect with Vince Burruano:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/vincent-burruanoWebsite: practicalsaleswisdom.comBooks by Vince Burruano (available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble):A Daily Dose of Sales WisdomThe New Sales Professional's PlaybookCoach, I Gotta Pee If you found this episode valuable, hit subscribe and leave us a review - it helps more sales leaders and business owners find the show.
