Hall of Fame speaker and sales coach give sales professionals and leaders a practical guide to winning in an AI-driven marketplace

 
Doug Dvorak, CEO and Founder of The Sales Coaching Institute, today announced the release of his new book, AI and the Future of Professional Selling. Dvorak is an internationally recognized sales speaker, coach, and author. The book is a practical guide for sales professionals, managers, and executives who want to use artificial intelligence to sell more effectively without losing the human trust that closes deals.

AI is quickly changing how buyers research, evaluate, and purchase. Sales teams now face a hard choice: adapt, or risk being left behind. AI and the Future of Professional Selling cuts through the hype. It shows readers how to use AI tools for prospecting, research, personalization, forecasting, and coaching, while strengthening the skills no algorithm can replace: empathy, curiosity, storytelling, and relationship-building.

"AI won't replace great salespeople, but salespeople who use AI will replace those who don't," said Dvorak. "This book is a roadmap for sellers and sales leaders who want to work smarter, move faster, and create more value for their customers, while staying authentically human in every conversation."

Inside the book, readers will learn how to:

• Use AI to find, research, and prioritize high-value prospects in a fraction of the time
• Personalize outreach at scale without sounding robotic
• Prepare for sales calls with deeper buyer insight
• Use AI-powered coaching and analytics to improve rep performance
• Build an AI-ready sales culture and lead teams through change
• Protect trust, ethics, and data privacy in AI-assisted selling
