Are we ready for AI sales reps? How RB2B replaced a sales-assist team with an AI avatar

RB2B founder Adam Robinson replaced a two-person sales-assist team with a $99/month AI avatar that handled 1,683 conversations in 22 days, primarily answering common questions about demos, pricing, SOC 2 compliance, and usage calculations. The experiment demonstrates AI's emerging viability for handling routine inbound sales inquiries while raising questions about scalability and full sales cycle automation. The case study illustrates tradeoffs between cost reduction, customer experience, and the limits of current AI in complex sales scenarios.
