💻 Felix Undeutsch, CEO of hivr.ai, explains AI's role in venue sales. Sales reps spend 28-40% of their time on core tasks, with the rest on admin work. 80% of RFPs are won by the first three responders, yet hotels respond to only 40-50% of RFPs. Felix highlights AI's potential to enhance customer experience, not cut costs. AI implementation success is tracked by proposal turnaround time and response rates, with AI potentially increasing logged leads.
