Salesloft Recognized by Gartner

Gartner published its Hype Cycle for Revenue and Sales Technology, 2024* research on June 17. Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.* 

According to Gartner, “Revenue and sales technologies have been fuel-injected by GenAI’s arrival, both alone and as an accelerant for all AI techniques. Sales operations leaders can use this research to evaluate emerging and evolving technologies that enhance customer experience and release sellers to high-value actions.” 

Salesloft was acknowledged as a Sample Vendor in the latest Gartner Hype Cycle for Revenue and Sales Technology, 2024 report for three categories: Generative AI for Sales, Revenue Intelligence, and Sales Engagement Applications. The report states that Generative AI for Sales was noted to have a transformational benefit priority falling under two to five years of mainstream adoption; Revenue Intelligence was noted to have a moderate benefit priority falling under two to five years of mainstream adoption; and Sales Engagement was noted to have a high benefit priority falling in less than two years of mainstream adoption.

This news comes on the heels of Salesloft’s recent launch of its AI-powered signal-based selling capabilities, which allow customers to ingest recommended content from Drift, their own proprietary systems, and third-party systems to deliver a more tailored end-customer buying experience. The breadth and depth of these signals – and the intelligence they provide – help customers drive a more holistic and effective go-to-market motion.
