16 Top AI Sales Tools To Close Deals Faster

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we’ve seen a wave of tools created for sales teams to work more efficiently.

These AI tools can assist with every step of the sales workflow — from researching promising prospects, to writing compelling cold emails, to acting as a personal AI meeting assistant during sales calls.

With all the AI tools now available, it can be difficult to figure out which ones are worth sales reps’ time. We’ve put together a list of 20 top AI sales tools that all have unique features, including some personal favorites of Fellow’s own sales team. We’ll also go over what you should consider when looking for new AI tools for sales. 

What to look for in AI sales tools

The availability of AI sales tools isn’t a barrier anymore — there’s an overabundance of tools now available promising to address even the most minute details of the sales process.

The challenge isn’t being able to find AI sales tools, it’s picking the right ones. The word you should keep in mind is this: consolidation.

In our webinar for sales directors and managers, Charlie Bahamonde, Fellow’s Director of Sales, said that sales leaders are “not looking for a specific tool to solve a minor problem within a team, but looking for a tool that solves multiple problems across multiple teams or even an entire organization.”

HubSpot’s State of Sales report found that 45% of sales professionals are overwhelmed by the amount of tools in their tech stack. As well, “more than one in four say if their company reduced the number of tools they use, it would make them more efficient, they would spend more time selling, and have higher quality data.”

Rather than creating an unmanageable tech stack, the goal is to strategically adopt AI sales software that actually reduces the number of tools being used by your sales team. Otherwise, it should be a tool that solves a consistent pain point that your other tools are not able to address. Keep that in mind while reading our list of the top AI sales tools.

When choosing new AI sales tools, always consider:

• Which sales tools can be consolidated
