What's the expected ROI of a sales AI stack?
Most teams see 2-4x more meetings booked per rep and 20-30% improvement in email response rates within 60 days of implementing this stack.
Can AI really personalize emails at scale?
Yes. Tools like Clay pull unique data points (recent funding, job changes, company news) that ChatGPT then weaves into personalized openers. The result feels hand-written but scales to hundreds of emails.
Is cold email still effective in 2026?
When done well with proper personalization and deliverability (which Instantly handles), cold email remains one of the highest-ROI B2B sales channels.
