Laura Moniz de Aragão has spent her career in long, complex enterprise sales - the seven- and eight-figure deals that take 12 to 24 months and live or die on trust with a handful of executives.
So when the conversation turns to AI making sellers redundant, she pushes back hard: in her world, she argues, AI is about to make the human seller more valuable, not less.
Buyers were never asking for more sales activity. What they want is scarce: real judgement, real insight, real trust. And that’s exactly what AI can’t manufacture.
In this episode, Laura unpacks what AI slop actually looks like, why she thinks most AI-assisted selling is optimising for the wrong thing entirely and where AI can actually make sellers more impactful.
