Prompt
Are there any sales and marketing benchmark reports that focus on how teams use AI in GTM?
Latest observation
Yes — there are a number of sales/marketing benchmark reports that now include sections on AI usage in GTM (go-to-market), though the depth varies a lot. The best ones tend to come from RevOps, sales engagement, CRM, and marketing automation vendors, plus a few analyst firms.
Here are some good places to look:
Sales-focused benchmark reports with AI/GTM content
-
HubSpot Sales Trends / State of Sales
Often includes how sales teams are adopting AI for prospecting, outreach, forecasting, and admin work. -
Salesloft / Outreach benchmark reports
These frequently cover rep productivity, email/call performance, cadence usage, and increasingly AI-assisted workflows. -
Gong Labs / Revenue Intelligence reports
Good for behavior-level GTM benchmarks, including how top teams use AI in coaching, deal management, and call analysis. -
Clari reports
Strong for pipeline, forecasting, and revenue process benchmarks; AI often appears in forecasting and pipeline hygiene sections. -
Salesforce State of Sales / State of Marketing
These are broad benchmark-style reports and often include AI adoption, especially around productivity and personalization.
Marketing-focused benchmark reports with AI/GTM content
-
HubSpot State of Marketing
Usually includes AI use in content creation, campaign personalization, and automation. -
Mailchimp / Intuit marketing benchmarks
Often more SMB-oriented, but useful if you want practical AI adoption data. -
Klaviyo / customer marketing reports
Sometimes cover AI for segmentation, messaging, and lifecycle automation. -
Adobe / Marketo / Eloqua ecosystem reports
More enterprise-oriented, sometimes with solid AI and automation usage benchmarks.
Broader GTM / revenue reports
-

Less tactical, but useful if you want strategic benchmark data on AI adoption, ROI, and organizational maturity in sales/marketing. -
LinkedIn B2B marketing/sales reports
Sometimes useful for how teams are using AI in prospecting, content, and ABM-like motions.
What to look for in a good report
If your goal is specifically “how teams use AI in GTM,” the most useful reports will measure things like:
- AI usage by function: prospecting, outbound, content, forecasting, call summarization, lead scoring
- Frequency of use: daily, weekly, occasional
- Impact metrics: time saved, pipeline influence, conversion lift, response rates
- Adoption by team size / segment / industry
- Maturity stage: experimentation vs operationalized AI
- Governance concerns: accuracy, compliance, brand risk
If you want, I can also put together a short curated list of the best 8–10 reports with links and note which ones are sales vs marketing vs RevOps, and which ones are most focused on AI in GTM.
