A founder once said, "ChatGPT lifts our sales email ROI fast. It feels like an assistant, and it lets us publish fresh content all week."

Email is still the workhorse channel. AI makes it sharper. HubSpot saw adoption of AI in sales climb from 24% to 43% in just one year. Generative email tools inside Gong drove a 464% jump in drafted messages. And one case study logged an 82% rise in conversions after switching to AI‑driven nurture flows.
