In this project, you will design an AI-powered sales workflow for a B2B software sales team. Your work will show how CRM processes, AI-supported selling activities, and analytics function as one connected system. You will create a workflow that improves data quality, supports timely follow-up, guides AI use during calls, and measures business impact through a clear performance framework. As part of this, you will define how AI insights are used during sales interactions and evaluate their impact by comparing call outcomes across AI-assisted and non-AI-assisted scenarios. You will also design analytics that help identify patterns in performance, including isolating key factors that influence win rates using dashboard data. You will create automated follow-up sequences and define how their effectiveness can be tested using A/B-style comparisons to determine which approaches improve engagement and deal progression. In addition, you will build a performance measurement framework that connects activity, AI usage, and outcomes, enabling continuous optimization of the sales workflow. This project reflects a real sales operations challenge where teams must not only implement systems but also measure what drives results. It focuses on integrating CRM, AI tools, and analytics into a continuous improvement loop where insights are tested, validated, and used to refine sales execution.
