The High Performance Sales Leader

E54: Agentic AI for Leaders: Sell Outcomes, Not Hype

Pree Sarkar

What really matters when selling AI? It’s not hype. It’s not hallucinations. It’s inference, outcomes, and customer experience. In this episode of The High Performance Sales Leader, host Pree Sarkar sits down with Warren Schilpzand, Regional Director at SambaNova Systems, to decode agentic AI—and how sales leaders can turn it into revenue, not research.

Warren breaks down the difference between training vs. inference, why context engineering beats fine-tuning, and how sub-200ms response times can make or break customer adoption. From retail to mortgages to compliance workflows, you’ll get real-world examples of agentic systems that adapt, decide, and scale—and what it takes to sell them.

If you’re a seller, CRO, or enterprise leader navigating AI transformation, this episode gives you a practical blueprint for landing big deals with outcomes-first thinking.
