You’ll learn how to use tools like Microsoft Copilot to speed up prospect research, craft personalized outreach, and spot the best opportunities to engage. Along the way, you’ll practice prompt frameworks that turn AI from a toy into a reliable “sharp intern” across your sales workflow.From there, you’ll go deeper into conversion and coaching. You’ll use AI to analyze competitors, handle objections, tailor proposals to different personas, and generate follow-ups that actually move deals forward.
