Key points: sales is a conversation, attempting to automate a conversation makes you look like a chatbot and puts you at a distinct disadvantage over competitors who are willing to have a real conversation and engage in an ongoing dialog with prospects. Marketing is a broadcast and is amenable to automation until you have initiated a conversation (gotten a response from a prospect).
