In the news this week |
| Growth leaders are redesigning sales workflows around agentic AI Why it matters: tool adoption alone is not the advantage. Revenue leaders need an owned workflow, clean account context, and a measurable commercial outcome before scaling AI. McKinsey, July 16, 2026 | | AI-enabled next-best actions correlate with stronger commercial growth Why it matters: seller enablement is becoming an operating-system decision. The leadership question is whether recommendations arrive inside the work and whether managers can audit the result. Gartner, May 20, 2026 | | HubSpot puts quote-to-cash inside its customer platform Why it matters: CRM, billing, renewals, and expansion data are converging. CROs should expect tighter ownership conversations with Finance and RevOps, plus more scrutiny of one shared revenue number. HubSpot, June 18, 2026 |
