    AI or Die? !!! How to Leverage AI In Sales (AI Tools to Use) : Kevin Hays - #103 Close The Deal

    Sales is changing faster than most people realize, and artificial intelligence is leading the charge. In this episode of the Close The Deal Podcast, I sit down with Henry Hayes, founder of Disrupt Ready and adjunct professor at LSU, to unpack what AI really means for sales pros today. We dig into why buyers instantly spot self-serving sales tactics, how mentorship pulls your career forward, and why ignoring AI is like ignoring the internet back in the ’90s. Henry shares practical ways to get started—plus the tools he recommends, including ChatGPT, Otter.ai, Fireflies, Heygen, and Synthesia. Henry’s bottom line is clear: AI won’t replace great salespeople, but it will replace those who refuse to adapt. If you’re ready to cut out the boring work, sharpen your focus on customers, and thrive in a world that’s changing fast, this conversation is for you. ## Visit www.CloseTheDeal.com to see all episodes.
