In today’s episode, Sandeep breaks down AI Sales Development Representatives — also known as AI SDRs.
He explains what they actually do, from finding leads to sending cold emails and booking meetings.
You’ll hear where they work well, where they fall short, and why they’re not a full replacement for a human rep.
We’ll also cover costs, setup, common mistakes, and how to know if your team is ready to use one.
This isn’t about trends — it’s about what’s practical right now.
If you’re leading sales or ops and thinking about using AI to scale outreach, this is for you.
You’ll walk away with a real understanding of how AI SDRs fit into outbound sales.
And whether or not it’s the right time to bring one into your team.
