Will AI replace Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Technical and Scientific Products?

Why this score

AI tools are already handling lead qualification, product-spec matching, and CRM-driven follow-up sequences that technical sales reps used to do manually. Your competitive-quoting and proposal-generation tasks are next in line, as employers see clear cost savings in automating these high-volume, data-intensive activities. The parts of your job that involve in-person demonstrations, interpreting a client's unspoken engineering constraints, and negotiating multi-stakeholder deals remain harder to automate — but the surrounding work is shrinking fast. If you're still spending most of your week on tasks a CRM plugin can do, how long before your territory gets consolidated?
