Jack Siney, Co-Founder and CRO of FrontRace, makes the counterintuitive case that most companies should slow down their AI deployment and get their data and process foundations right first. Drawing on his career from the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels program through the acquisition of GovSpend and now building FrontRace, Jack explains why $650 million in AI spend last year delivered almost no ROI for most organizations, and what the 20 small things your top sales reps are doing actually look like.
In this episode, Robin and Jack cover why garbage-in-garbage-out is still the defining problem in AI-powered sales, how FrontRace aggregates and normalizes activity data across existing systems without replacing them, why standardized KPIs applied to non-standard deals and non-standard reps is a fundamentally broken model, the Moneyball analogy for sales performance management, and why Jack's best advice to any sales leader right now is to get to January 1, 2027 with clean unified data and fully documented process flows before touching AI deployment.
Jack's white paper, The 15 AI Truths Every Sales Leader Will Face in 2026, is referenced throughout and available at frontrace.com.
