Agents Selling Agents: How to Sell with Agents - and Get Humans to Use Them
What happens when agents become part of both the product being sold and the team selling it?
This session explores how sellers can use agents to uncover opportunities, shape customer conversations, demonstrate value and sell agent-based solutions. But selling the technology is only half the challenge: lasting value depends on earning human trust, changing established habits and making agents part of everyday work.
Grounded in practical examples of how Microsoft is embedding agents into its global digital sales motion for SMB customers, the session will offer a vision for the future of selling, and a practical playbook for bringing people with us.
