Careers in AI sales

Selling AI is different in three ways. The buyer can't fully predict what the product will do. The price depends on usage they can't forecast yet. And security and legal are in the room from the first call. The jobs themselves are the familiar ones, like SDR and account executive, but the deals run on pilots, side-by-side tests and risk reviews. Start with the guides every sales role shares, then pick a role.

A customer discovery table leads through prototype and evaluation stages to a project folder ready for handoff.
