About Event

You'll learn how to turn interested prospects into paying customers through AI-enhanced relationship building.

Parker will show you how to create a nurture system that maintains authentic connections at scale - using AI to handle the heavy lifting while keeping relationships genuinely human. You'll learn to build a personalization engine that researches accounts and crafts relevant messages, develop LinkedIn content that establishes trust before you ever pitch, structure sales conversations that position you as the trusted expert, and implement post-meeting workflows that keep momentum alive. This isn't about bombarding leads with automated sequences - it's about using technology to be more thoughtful and consistent in your follow-up.

Recommended for: Founders and small teams who have leads coming in but struggle to convert them without dropping the ball on relationship building.

Speakers

Parker Mayes

Parker Mayes is the Co-Founder & CEO of Inbound Revenue, a sales consulting firm that has helped startups, consultants, and agencies build, scale, and convert their sales funnels.

Before founding Inbound Revenue, Parker trained under the team at Dale Carnegie Training, giving him a deep foundation in the human psychology behind selling, the relationship-building, trust, and communication skills that no algorithm can replace. That background is exactly what makes him uniquely qualified to talk about AI in sales, he's not a technologist who stumbled into sales, but a sales operator who has layered AI and automation into proven human-first processes.

Through Inbound Revenue, Parker has scaled outbound systems, streamlined client acquisition, and helped founders and sales teams book more qualified meetings without sacrificing the authentic relationships that actually close deals. He challenges sales leaders to stop choosing between human connection and automation and start using both to build a smarter, more scalable sales engine.
