Vercel 将其入站销售开发团队从 10 人缩减到了 1.25 人。
Jeanne DeWitt Grosser,Vercel 的 COO,在我们共同参与的 Information 采访中分享了这一点1:
“我们的入站销售开发实现了 90% 的自动化。而我们自研的支持智能体处理了所有支持工单中的 93%……
在这两种情况下,全年基础设施总账单仅为个位数千美元……
我们的销售开发智能体实现了 32 倍的投资回报率。所以无论那个模型花多少钱,这都是值得的……
我们现在有很多方式让 AI 在 99% 的时间里达到第 99 百分位的表现。”
销售开发是早期 AI 最直接的用例之一。
就像自动驾驶汽车一样,承诺已经到来,但兑现还需要更多时间,直到 Waymo 能够在 Inner Sunset 的街道上行驶。巧合的是,Waymo 将行人碰撞事故减少了 92%,与上面的数字几乎完全一致2。
如今,AI 已经处在一个最初的承诺得以兑现的阶段。
10 月 1 日星期四太平洋时间上午 11:00,Theory Office Hours 将邀请 Vercel 的 Jeanne DeWitt Grosser,探讨当 inbound 智能体自行管理线索时,销售开发职能会发生什么变化。如果你想参加,请在此注册。

Vercel took its inbound sales development team from 10 people to 1.25.
Jeanne DeWitt Grosser, COO of Vercel, shared this on our Information interview together1 :
“We had 90% automation of sales development for inbound. And our support agent that we’ve home-built handles 93% of all support cases…
In both of those cases, the total annual infrastructure bill is in the single-digit thousands…
Our sales development agent is a 32x ROI. So it’s worth it, no matter how much that model costs…
There are many ways in which we’re now getting AI to sort of be a 99th percentile performer 99% of the time.”
Sales development was one of the immediate use cases for AI in the early days.
Like self-driving cars, the promise arrived & fulfillment required a bit more time until the Waymo could navigate the streets of the Inner Sunset. It’s a coincidence that Waymos reduce pedestrian collisions by 92%, nearly identical to the figures above2.
Today, AI is in a place where the original promises have now been kept.
On Thursday, October 1st at 11:00 AM PT, Theory Office Hours welcomes Jeanne DeWitt Grosser of Vercel to talk about what happens to the sales development function when the inbound agent manages leads itself. If you’d like to attend, please register here.
