Yoni Tserruya on AI-First Selling & the Death of Manual Prospecting

What if your CRM became just a database, your SDR was an agent, and your next best customer was delivered to you like a Spotify playlist? That future is closer than most sales leaders think.

In this episode:

• Why Yoni calls manual prospecting a "tax" on sales teams — and what replaces it

• The Spotify analogy: how "sales streaming" shifts go-to-market from pull to push

• How Lusha gets 96% of 330+ employees using AI daily and why constraints fuel creativity

• Why accuracy beats volume in B2B data — and what sales leaders should ask before deploying any AI tool

Yoni Tserruya is the co-founder and CEO of Lusha, a global AI-powered sales intelligence platform he bootstrapped for five years before raising $245M in venture capital and reaching a $1.5B valuation. He built Lusha from a Chrome extension side project in 2016 into a platform trusted by over 1.5 million sales professionals worldwide. Based in Tel Aviv, Yoni leads a team of 330+ people and is redefining go-to-market infrastructure for the agentic era.
