After years of neglecting sales reps in favour of marketers, R&D has finally caught up with the commercial function. The SalesTech market is booming — but what does the ideal B2B sales tech stack actually look like?
The core stack
- CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot): the foundation of all commercial activity;
- Sales engagement (Outreach, Salesloft): sequences, cadences and outreach automation;
- Intent data (Bombora, 6sense): signals that a prospect is actively researching your category;
- Conversation intelligence (Gong, Chorus): call recording, analysis and coaching.
The emerging layer
AI-powered tools for pipeline forecasting, deal risk assessment and personalised outreach at scale are rapidly moving from 'advanced teams only' to 'standard practice'.
