What is AI in Channel Sales?
AI in Channel Sales is the use of artificial intelligence — machine learning, natural language processing, predictive analytics, and generative AI — to improve channel sales outcomes. Common applications include partner lead scoring, deal prediction, partner matching, content recommendation, and next-best-action coaching for channel account managers.
