Your outreach AI agent emails a mid-market firm about your product. A product manager there replies fast and says yes to a demo. The agent sees a reply and a yes, so it books the call.
The agent writes this down as a real opportunity for your sales team. It does this for every accepted invite, because a reply is the only thing it knows how to check. Three weeks later your rep finds out this person can’t approve any spending.
Now your pipeline looks full of real buyers. It’s actually full of people who just like taking calls.
You feel it when deals stall at the end of the quarter and nobody can say why.
A sales manager at a big software company already caught this years ago. Before booking anything, she checks if someone has actually talked to the person who signs the check, not just the person who answered the email.
Next time your agent books a demo, ask your team: “did we confirm someone with real budget power is already in this conversation before we locked the call?”
