Why pure AI solutions fail in sales and how a hybrid model combining humans and AI has been proven to increase productivity and quality.

AI in sales: why the hybrid approach is unbeatable

AI takes over sales – sounds like a successful model, doesn’t it?

Unfortunately, no. Studies by Deloitte, Gartner and McKinsey are surprisingly unanimous: over 95 percent of companies did not see any measurable success once AI had completely taken over large parts of their sales tasks.

Why pure AI solutions fail

The reasons are actually obvious: AI can do a lot – but relationship management, flexibility and genuine trust-building are not among its strengths. However, it is precisely these factors that are crucial if sales work is to be successful. So does that mean: Hands off AI? Not at all! Even top salespeople only spend around a third of their time on actual sales activities. The rest? Administration, preparation, follow-up and data maintenance. And this is where AI really comes into its own.

Where AI really shines

When AI is used as targeted support, productivity increases noticeably – especially in relation to costs. Differences in quality between individual sales teams or employees can also be significantly reduced.

And not to forget: AI bots know no breaks and no end of work 😉

Rabbit Hole Group C-Level Meeting from September 21–23, 2025, in Vienna

Rabbit Hole Group: C-Level Power Days in Vienna!

/in /by
2 Min.

Once a year: All top decision makers of the Rabbit Hole Group around one table – across all departments. In 2025, the C-Level team is not only treating itself to exciting topics, but also a really nice location: Vienna! From September 21 to 23, there will be three days of discussion, planning and making the future.

Three days full of strategy, innovation and networking

The big issues are tackled in four crisp working groups:

  • Digitization and integration from top to bottom
  • Fresh distribution models
  • New AI targets that pack a punch

The message right from the start: tech topics are a must – especially now, when the economic situation demands smart decisions more than ever. Especially in the sales area the course is set for the future. Since November 2024 Matthias has been at the helm here – and is bringing a breath of fresh air.

His approach: “How do I build a sales strategy that really works in the age of AI?”

AI in sales: more output with less input

Because one thing is clear: AI is the number one topic in the sales department when it comes to achieving more output with less input. Now is the time to cleverly combine knowledge and tools – so that sales figures not only remain stable, but really increase.

Of course we will keep you up to date here as always and will report on the event in detail!

Rabbit Hole Group - Insights into digital solutions

A complete success: our first Rapid Hole Sales Department event

/in /by
2 Min.

Two months ago, the Rapid Hole Group began setting up its new sales department – and the first event was a complete success. Together with Anton Dollmeier and Matthias Brinkmann we invited potential partners, customers and committed members of the Rapid Hole Group to our premises in Nuremberg. Rapid Hole Group participated virtually.

Focus on best practices and B2B sales

The event was all about best practices, partnership-based exchange and the presentation of our approach to B2B sales. We shed light on how the Rapid Hole Group approaches customer projects in a structured manner, creates synergies between partners and always focuses on the greatest possible customer benefit. Questions about cooperation, contract design and general terms and conditions were also discussed openly and transparently. After an intensive first hour, virtual breakout sessions offered participants the opportunity to exchange ideas in small groups and discuss specific questions in greater depth. The response was clear: our community would like to see more events like this!

Topics of the future: AI, data analysis and practical workshops

In particular, topics such as AI-supported training, workshops on data analysis and practical solutions for the B2B sector were suggested by the participants as future focal points. The lively participation and inspiring discussions underline the high demand for innovative and partnership-based approaches in sales. The feedback motivates us to continue! We are already looking forward to the next event in February – stay tuned and join us!

And here we go again: As already reported, we have been a member of the Rabbit Hole Group since the middle of the year. Matthias is now also taking on the role of Head of Sales Department and, together with the entire 2be team, is bringing his many years of expertise and extensive experience in brand management to the “Sales” to optimize their customer relationships and sales processes. We pursue a strategic approach to offer customers not just products, but real solutions that create long-term added value. Matthias will play an active role in shaping the sales department, drawing on the expertise and creativity of 2be. In particular, the interdisciplinary cooperation between the two teams will ensure that customers receive individual support and the best possible service at every step of their journey.

Annual meeting in Belgrade

Back in September, Matthias attended the Rabbit Hole Group’s annual meeting in Belgrade, where he had the opportunity to familiarize himself intensively with the team and the strategic goals of the Rabbit Hole Group. This exchange not only strengthened the team spirit, but also forms a solid basis for future cooperation in the sales area.

Synergy effects for better service

The merger of the two teams has clear advantages: The Rabbit Hole Group benefits from the synergies created by the collaboration with 2be, and customers receive even more comprehensive support. From the initial consultation to the final implementation, we are at the customer’s side to successfully implement their projects with creative solutions and real added value. The close cooperation will further expand and strengthen our expertise in the sales area.

More knowledge – more opportunities for our customers

Thanks to the partnership between 2be and the Rabbit Hole Group, it is now possible to understand customer requirements even better and implement them precisely.

“We want to offer our customers the best possible service and the Rabbit Hole Group’s expertise takes this to a whole new level” – Matthias

With Matthias as the contact person in the sales department and the combined expertise of the 2be team, the Rabbit Hole Group is therefore excellently positioned to be able to respond to the individual needs of customers in the future and help them achieve sustainable success.
