Victor Antonio
Biography

A poor upbringing from one of the roughest areas of Chicago didn't stop Victor from earning a B.S. Electrical Engineering, an MBA and building a 20-year career as a top sales executive and becoming President of Global Sales and Marketing for a $420M company. As Vice President of International Sales in a Fortune 500, he was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President's Advisory Council for excellence in sales and management. He has shared the stage with top business speakers: Daymond John (Shark Tank), Rudy Giuliani, Paul Otellini (CEO of Intel), and John May (CEO of FedEx Kinkos). He's the author of 13 books on sales and motivation and recently launched the Sales Mastery Academy learning platform with 350+ videos. He recently published his new book, "Sales Ex Machina: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World of Selling".

As Victor explains in his new speech and book, artificial Intelligence is changing the world of selling. Functions that were once the domain of salespeople will be transformed or obliterated. The predictive power of these new algorithms is changing the way sales organizations function. The fact is virtually every stage of the traditional sales pipeline is now ripe for disruption as companies enthusiastically invest in AI applications that will sharply enhance critical sales functions and develop more efficient sales processes.
