Chief Revenue Officers (CROs) are increasingly leveraging AI tools to stay competitive and drive revenue growth. Some think salespeople don’t like tech due to the low daily use rates of many CRMs. In reality, they are often first adopters- looking to get an edge. What they won’t put up with is software, AI or otherwise that doesn’t help them do a “thing” faster or better than what it might replace.

In that regard I posit that CRO’s aren’t technology adverse. Instead, their laser focused on tool and time ROI. If this tool doesn’t work as sold to me, I will not use it, nor waste my time and possibly get fired.

With that sage truth in mind, here are some specific AI tools that CROs are using:
