Episode Summary
In this episode of Prompt This, Greg and Clint sit down with Ganesh Iyer, the founder of ASPR.ai, to explore how AI sales assistants are quietly reshaping the future of revenue teams. Forget the endless parade of CRM updates—Ganesh’s world is all about intelligent agents that learn, coach, and work alongside human sellers.
From pre-meeting prep to post-call CRM updates, Ganesh and his team are building a platform that actually gets work done. He walks through how AI can shorten ramp time, retain tribal knowledge from top performers, and coach every rep like a personal trainer—without adding another dashboard to click through.
The conversation also dives into leadership and culture in the age of AI: what happens when a company is “AI-first” from day one, and how communication, alignment, and trust evolve when intelligent systems become part of the team.
This episode isn’t just about smarter sales tools—it’s about rethinking how humans and AI can partner to create more effective, more human selling organizations.
