AI tools are reducing junior sales roles by handling routine tasks, leading to fewer entry-level GTM positions and a narrower promotion path to account executive jobs. Hiring managers face a trade-off between cost-effective top-of-funnel coverage and a thinner pipeline of trained future sales leaders.
