Why Old-School Sales Work Still Wins in the AI Era | Graham Moreno (Head of GTM, Parallel)
Graham Moreno, head of GTM at Parallel, argues that despite the hype around product‑led growth and AI‑first go‑to‑market playbooks, the fundamentals of enterprise sales—personalized training, on‑site workshops, and trusted relationships—remain decisive in the AI era. He points to his experience at Windsurf and Cognition, where structured rollouts that included road‑show style trainings delivered measurable success, while companies that simply dropped tools into internal marketplaces saw little impact. Data collected showed that teams receiving guided discovery and workflow redesign outperformed DIY adopters within six months. Moreno highlights a shift in buyer behavior: AI‑native organizations, accustomed to ChatGPT from college, move from weeks‑long cycles to days, demanding continuous, async communication via Slack and rapid feedback loops. Yet even these fast adopters still value vendor expertise to translate developer insights to C‑suite strategy. The takeaway for B2B sellers is to blend old‑school rigor—partner enablement, executive engagement, and measurable onboarding—with the speed and digital touchpoints of AI‑native customers. Early investment in enablement, data analytics, and ecosystem partners can turn a vendor from a mere software vending machine into a strategic growth catalyst.
