Basics of AI Sales Agent
Where AI Sales Agent appears
On your G2 profile
AI Sales Agent replaces the default chatbot on your G2 profile with an AI sales assistant whose goal is to sell your product, and your product only.
The default chatbot on your G2 profile exclusively uses G2 reviews and market research data to help direct buyers to the right solution, and can recommend both your product and competitors.
On your website
You can add AI Sales Agent to your company website to act as an inbound AI SDR chatbot to qualify buyers and save bandwidth for your Sales team.
G2 offers 100 free chats to trial AI Sales Agent on your website.
For more information, refer to the Adding AI Sales Agent to your website section.
Conversion and performance
AI Sales Agent's goal is to educate, prequalify, and encourage buyers to take a next step, such as booking a demo. G2 offers two options for conversion:
- Custom URL: Send qualified buyers to a landing page on your website. To set a custom conversion URL, refer to the Customization section.
- Integrated G2 lead form: AI Sales Agent displays your G2 lead form directly in the chat interface, which will follow the same routing, webhook, and notification logic as leads collected from your G2 profile. This option is only available for G2 customers on a Core subscription.
To learn about performance metrics and reporting, refer to the Performance section.
Payment and billing
AI Sales Agent follows a pay-per-chat pricing model. A chat is considered chargeable when a buyer sends at least two messages in chat, or if they take a next step, such as clicking a link or booking a demo.
The price of a chat is benchmarked using SEMRush industry standards for PPC (pay-per-click) advertising on your product's main G2 category. You can access the price per chat for your product from the Manage Plan tab on the AI Sales Agent page.
G2 offers two payment options for AI Sales Agent:
- Pay-as-you-go: A subscriptionless, pay-per-chat offering. You will be invoiced based on usage and charged monthly. Invoices will be processed on the 2nd of the following month.
- Bulk pricing: Purchase chats in bulk to receive a significantly discounted price per chat. For more information on bulk pricing options, please contact G2.
G2 customers on a Core annual plan automatically receive $250 in free chat credits to trial AI Sales Agent. You may disable AI Sales Agent whenever you'd like, and your payment method will not be charged until your free credits have been used.
Training content
AI Sales Agent learns how to sell your software based on your organization's content. Refer to the Add content section for more information.
G2 recommends providing 10-20 pieces of content to train your AI Sales Agent effectively, including:
- Transcripts of your top sales calls and webinars, which can be downloaded directly from call recording platforms such as Gong or Zoom.
- Objection handling and battle cards that describe how your product should be positioned against competitors.
- Case studies and customer proof that demonstrate ROI.
- Pricing and packaging details.
- Sales enablement content used to onboard new sales representatives at your organization.
- Documentation that answers frequently asked questions about your product's functionality.
You should think of AI Sales Agent as a member of your Sales team and use the same content that you use to train human representatives to sell your product.
