Sales Organizations Deploy AI Agents Replacing Roles

Jason Lemkin reports in early 2026 that sales organizations are rapidly adopting agentic AI, citing SaaStr's move from 10+ human sellers to 1.2 humans and 20+ AI agents, and a $500,000 spend across 21 agents versus $10,000 on Salesforce. He estimates 95%+ replaceability for email-based SDRs and inbound BDRs, 50%+ for customer support, and urges agent-first GTM with daily orchestration and new GTM engineer roles.
