Because this category is within B2B business model, therefore it is very difficult to automate this kind of relationships, at least by now.

Depending on the product sold, I don’t see people buying critical and expensive software from AI.
That is if buyers remain people themselves.
In a market where several products fit a company’s criteria, only a person can push for the product they’re selling. Using different methods like research, gifts, creating rapport etc.

K2B sales impossible to be computed as every new interaction is new no historic

in Enterprise B2B tech personally, and I think much of what I do day-to-day could be automated. However, negotiating complex deals / ideating applications for tech in a complex (often quite unique) enterprise environment + gaining stakeholder alignment etc. may not be so easy to automate in near-term.

I think the total replace is not possible. All off de customers prefer relationship with our employees and stakeholders. Some areas needs the technical sales

It depends on companies if they value what there employees bring to the table but I only see this in company's that have management that are "removed" by the people below them in the sense that they do not know what it is that there employees are doing or have unrealistic demands.

People like to have face to face interaction and it’s nice to know that sales positions will still be around for the long term

Too technical, sales is also very personal
