Top AI sales tools for 2025

Looking to shorten deal cycles, close more revenue, and reduce manual tasks across your sales team? Read about the best AI sales tools and how they can accelerate the team's day-to-day workflows.

How can AI be used in sales?

Whether you're a sales leader or a brand new SDR - we're pretty positive you've already started exploring different ways AI can be used in the sales process.

Sales development representatives (SDRs) are generally focused on identifying potential prospects, sending cold emails or engaging in cold calling, and helping book that first demo. Their days involve a lot of manual work - from having to identify the correct contact at a company to drafting personalized emails to get better response rates.

A account executive (AE) is a member of the sales team who’s tasked with nurturing relationships and converting prospects into paying customers. AEs often serve as the primary contact for prospects, offering support, answering questions, and otherwise doing everything they can to help prospects feel confident buying whatever you're selling.

With budgets tightening up, markets growing even more saturated with SaaS products, and deals requiring sign-offs from an increasing number of stakeholders, the AE job is becoming more difficult. To cover more ground and win more business, sales leaders are increasingly asking account executives to explore ways that they can use artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate their workflows and achieve better sales outcomes.

We’ve put together a list of top AI sales tools for sales team members and we’ve also laid out some ways that sales team leaders can evaluate the effectiveness of each of these AI sales tools to decide which works best for their unique circumstances.

After all, what’s the use of implementing a new tool or process if you have no way of evaluating its impact to your sales pipeline, deal flow, or revenue generation activities?

This list of the best AI tools for sales (in our opinion) is in no particular order; we’ve either used these tools ourselves or know customers that are using them.

Without further ado, let’s jump right in!

How to evaluate the best AI sales tools for sales teams in 2025

Every sales team and executive leadership wants to close deals faster, automate repetitive manual tasks, and increase productivity however they can. But how can you be sure that a new AI tool that you’ve implemented really helped you cover more ground?

Answering this question can be more difficult than most teams and sales leaders care to admit. When teams adopt new tools, they often only have a short time to evaluate its efficacy before having to convince leadership to pay for it.

Even worse, it’s unfortunately common practice for sales leadership to force a lackluster AI sales tool on the team and expect them to use it even if it’s the wrong tool for the job.

If you’re considering implementing any of the AI sales tools in this piece into your workflows, here are some steps to follow as you evaluate their effectiveness.

Step #1: Define the tool’s objective

AI sales tools come in all shapes and sizes. When it comes to determining whether a solution is right for your team, you first need to ask yourself exactly what you’re trying to accomplish with it. 

Do you want to close deals faster? Are you trying to write better cold emails? Is your top priority automating repetitive tasks? By clearly defining what you hope to achieve with the new tool, you can evaluate the current state, set your baseline, and measure your effectiveness from there.

Step #2: Evaluate the tool’s usability

While new sales tools and tech gadgets can be a shiny new object, the first step to understanding whether they’re actually helping is to learn whether the team is actually using them. You might deploy the best AI sales tool the world has ever seen, but if your team isn’t using it regularly, what good does that do? 

Once you understand what you hope to accomplish with a new tool, it’s time to assess the tool’s usability. Does it take a lot of effort? Is there a steep learning curve? Does the tool require AEs to overhaul their entire workflows or does it tightly integrate into their existing processes? Does the tool deliver a strong user experience or is it buggy and unreliable?

By answering these types of questions, you can start to evaluate whether a specific AI sales tool is really the right fit for your team.

Step #3: Measure performance metrics

After 30 to 90 days of using a new AI sales tool, you can both qualitatively and quantitatively measure sales performance metrics from the baseline you defined in step one. (You might need more time if your sales cycle is longer.) 

But those metrics aren’t the only data point you should use. The numbers might not be up yet, but your team might be loving the tool and may agree that it’s super beneficial to their prospecting workflows. If that’s the case, you might want to be a bit patient and give the tool more time to work its magic. Any tool that increases engagement and makes life easier can still be incredibly valuable.

This is one area where AI-powered sales tools can be a true game-changer. By adding the right AI sales tools to your sales tech stack, you can engage more prospects in less time, while connecting with them on a truly personalized level.
