Look we get it we all need to make money. However Dell is advancing in ways that makes no sense to have a load of sales people. Dell is enforcing these bonkers rto mandates in order to get you to quit.
Normally i would be on the frontlines having your back. However these new policies are a major headache for the rest of the company.
My suggestion would be to either upskill and embrace AI or quit as you are surplus to requirements
So many just blurt out "AI". No need to define what type of AI with any level of detail. Just know that "it" is coming for our jobs.
What I truly don't understand reading this and other posts about people saying AI will replace sales is do they not know who are the people on the other end purchasing? Yes, AI will replace consumer and maybe even small business. PCs are PCs and literally every company with a full time IT person understands 90% of the way to get there on their own so a little AI app can take over that LoB. However, when you start getting into sizing for VMs, Databases, changing hypervisors, etc it gets way more complicated. Nobody is going to cut an AI App at $5M PO.
Procurement departments have vendor risk scorecards and they are building in AI as both a benefit and a risk to purchasing. Transactional PCs they might not care and see it as a benefit. Massive data center refreshes it'll be risk.
If anyone truly thinks AI is the future please go talk to customers and ask how they want to do business first. They might just have a different answer than senior leadership.
OP is correct. AI is ready to replace sales. It won't complain about having to come to work. It will put on a full 40 hour week. You're about to be replaced by an online ordering app. Just leave and stop putting off the inevitable.
"However these new policies are a major headache for the rest of the company."
Its a headache for EVERYBODY. In my territory the sales teams are green across the board. My understanding is the Scannell went into Boston sites and MD into RR over a number of days and there was nobody in the buildings. They wigged out and here we are.
If there are less sales, there will be less of everyone else.
Wow, what an absolutely hilarious suggestion. They are coming for you next d-mb a-s. This isn’t about sales it’s about forcing contrition. You’re a-s is showing coward
Never!
Blurt out the "AI" buzz word. Great advice!
