Is AI Killing Sales? Quite the Opposite — Why Human Sales Value is Rising in the AI SDR Era

AI SDRs don't kill sales jobs. They kill average ones.

As we build Rinda, we see it firsthand: AI handles top-of-funnel at scale, elite AEs focus on deals that actually close. Less supply of real closers = higher price.

Are you building skills AI can't replicate, or just hoping to survive?
