概要

 Episode SummaryIs your top sales rep fully caffeinated at 5:00 PM? In this episode of Thoughts on Selling, Lee Levitt sits down with Garth Fasano, an ETA (Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition) leader running a high-growth autonomous sales startup.We discuss the massive shift from traditional "Inside Sales" (humans navigating decision trees) to Agentic AI—autonomous agents that think, adapt, and sell 24/7. From sailing mishaps in Long Island Sound to the math of Erlang Models, Garth explains why small businesses are adopting this tech faster than enterprises, and why the future of commerce is "Bot-to-Bot" (your AI negotiating with Google's AI).Memorable Quotes:"They want [the agent] at their 9am fully caffeinated self... not their 5pm, 175 calls deep self." — Garth Fasano"A sales call that's scripted... That's not how sales work. That's not how people buy.""Google knows how you search... we're going to start to know why customers are buying."3 Actionable Takeaways for Leaders:The "Best Day" Standard: The ROI of AI isn't just cost savings; it's Consistency. An AI agent never has a bad day, never gets tired after 175 calls, and never forgets to ask for the close.Visibility as a Service: Stop guessing why revenue is down. Autonomous agents provide real-time data ("Conversion dropped 10% due to price objection"), turning the sales function into a strategic headlight for the business owner.Prepare for Bot-to-Bot Commerce: The future is already here. Google's AI is calling businesses to check inventory. If your sales process requires a human to pick up the phone to answer a bot, you are already obsolete.Key Topics & Timestamps:(00:00) – Introduction: From Sailing to Sales Automation.(04:30) – The Evolution of Inside Sales: Moving beyond the "Scripted Robot" human.(11:15) – Agentic AI vs. Chatbots: Why autonomous agents don't need decision trees.(18:40) – The SMB Advantage: Why local businesses (like plumbers) are adopting AI faster than the Fortune 500.(26:00) – The "Typing While Talking" Problem: How AI removes the friction of CRM data entry.(33:50) – Bot-to-Bot Commerce: What happens when the buyer is also an AI?(41:00) – Visibility as a Service: Using AI to diagnose business health, not just close deals.About Our Guest:Garth Fasano is an ETA (Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition) entrepreneur and the leader of a high-growth startup focused on Autonomous Sales.
