3 AI Use Cases in Sales That Save 10+ Hours Per Week

This blog breaks down 3 proven AI use cases for sales including account research, discovery prep, and CRM automation that save SDRs and AEs 10+ hours every week.

INTRO

Most reps waste hours each week on account research, writing cold emails, prepping for calls, and updating CRM notes. That time adds up fast. In this blog, I’ll break down 3 AI use cases we use every single day that free up 10+ hours a week. These are practical, proven workflows for SDRs and account executives—not theoretical hype.

And if you want to go deeper, every GPT we demo here (plus 30 more) comes packaged in our AI Sales Accelerator program.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • How to automate account research and turn it into high-impact cold emails
  • How to prep for discovery calls in under 5 minutes with AI-driven question funnels
  • How to instantly generate CRM notes, follow-ups, and executive summaries from call transcripts

CONTEXT: WHY THIS MATTERS

AI isn’t a gimmick anymore. Used correctly, it becomes your new “springboard”—a way to coil the spring before outreach, calls, and follow-ups. What used to take an hour of manual work now takes 30 seconds. The reps who adopt this early will outpace their peers.

As Connor put it in the video walkthrough below: “I used to check ChatGPT maybe once or twice a day. Now it’s my first stop—I spend two to three hours a day in it because it saves me dozens of hours elsewhere."

USE CASE #1: Strategic Account Research + Cold Email Writing

The old way: spending an hour digging into a company’s site, news, 10-K, and LinkedIn before writing a half-decent email.

The AI way: feed your product, target account, and persona into a Strategic Account Research GPT. In 30 seconds you’ll have:

  • A company overview with sources
  • Detected triggers (new hires, M&A, public statements)
  • Sales implications mapped to your solution
  • A ready-to-go executive summary

From there, drop the output into a Cold Email GPT trained on your personal methodology. Instead of generic templates, you get targeted subject lines, email variations, and follow-up sequences tied directly to the account’s priorities.

Result: dozens of hours saved each month and messaging that actually lands.

USE CASE #2: Discovery Call Prep in Minutes

Prepping for discovery calls used to take an hour per meeting. With a Discovery Call Prep GPT, it now takes under 5 minutes.
Here’s what it delivers:

  • Industry trends + company-specific priorities
  • Four strategic priorities mapped to your solution
  • Targeted question funnels (surface → operational → business impact) for each priority
  • A 30-60 second credibility opening script
  • Anticipated objections and relevant case studies

The power isn’t in reading it word-for-word, but in having question funnels at your fingertips so you can steer the call wherever the prospect leans. Instead of improvising from scratch, you’re starting from a structured foundation.

USE CASE #3: CRM Notetaker + Post-Call Automation

This one is a game-changer for anyone who hates CRM busywork. Drop a transcript into the CRM Notetaker GPT and instantly get:

  • Participant list for Salesforce/HubSpot
  • Current state, future state, consequences, and outcomes
  • BANT/MEDDIC/Command of the Message Notes
  • Next steps
  • A polished follow-up email
  • A calendar invite draft

Instead of staying up late back-filling Salesforce, you copy-paste notes in seconds. You can even ask it for a 3-sentence Slack update to your manager or rewrite MEDDIC notes with more detail. The time saved is obvious—but the mental burden it removes is just as valuable.
