AI isn’t the biggest hurdle for sales teams anymore — that’s what I learned after speaking with several sales professionals. As 2025 unfolds, I’m seeing a clear shift in where sales leaders are putting their focus. Pipeline growth and revenue performance are taking center stage — 64% of sales leaders told us that’s their top…
