At the 2025 AI Sales Summit, Garris Yeung, Director of Sales, Mid-Market at Apollo.io<\/strong>, tackled a challenge every sales leader knows too well: prospecting and building pipeline has always been hard\u2014and today, it\u2019s only getting harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GTM Crisis: Too Many Tools, Not Enough Execution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yeung cited a recent McKinsey survey showing that while 80% of CEOs rank go-to-market efficiency as a top-three priority, only 30% believe their sales team can execute consistently<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culprit? Bloated, fragmented tech stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apollo\u2019s Unified Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apollo\u2019s vision is to change the game: best-in-class go-to-market should be powerful, easy, and accessible<\/strong>. With over 2 million users and 550,000 companies<\/strong> on its platform, Apollo is already proving that consolidating GTM functions into a single system reduces both cost and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four pillars of Apollo\u2019s solution\u2014data enrichment, outbound, inbound, and deal execution<\/strong>\u2014are unified in one platform. Sales teams no longer need to toggle between spreadsheets, dialers, CRMs, and enrichment tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
