This study aims to deeply examine the role and impact of AI implementation in the B2B sales process, including implementation challenges. The method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive studies, through a literature review of scientific journals, industry reports, and relevant previous studies. The analysis results show that the application of AI in B2B sales not only improves the accuracy of marketing strategies and lead conversion, but also strengthens the concept of value co-creation through collaboration between salespeople and AI systems. Technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and NLP-based chatbots have been proven to accelerate sales cycles, expand service reach, and increase productivity by up to 30%. However, implementation challenges remain, including limited digital infrastructure, a lack of competent human resources, and organizational resistance to technological transformation. Therefore, optimal AI integration requires institutional readiness, adaptive strategies, and continuous investment in technology and human resource development. These findings provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of AI-based B2B sales strategies, particularly in the context of the digital industry in Indonesia. Furthermore, the application of AI in B2B sales also opens up new opportunities for service personalization. With the support of real-time data analysis, companies can better understand the specific preferences and needs of their business partners. This enables the development of more targeted communication strategies and the enhancement of long-term relationships with business customers. AI also plays a role in reducing human error through automated systems that can validate data, provide predictive recommendations, and support faster and more accurate strategic decision-making. Furthermore, the adoption of AI in B2B requires clear regulations and governance, particularly regarding ethical data use and information security. Companies must be able to balance the use of technology to increase efficiency with the protection of privacy and consumer rights.
