Rising Sales Sessions NL | Hitting Target with AI: How AEs Sell More and Work Smarter | 22 October 2026
Short descriptionsummary field
A practical evening for Account Executives in the Netherlands. Learn from other AEs how they use AI to hit target, build more pipeline and work smarter. Wichard Boon (Head of GTM, Bonnie) shows the AI workflows he runs every day, followed by roundtables where you build your own 30-day AI plan. Hosted by Vormats in Amsterdam. Drinks included.
Long descriptionabout this event
Most AEs use AI to write emails faster. That is the least interesting use case.

In this session Wichard Boon, Head of GTM at Bonnie, walks through how he actually runs his week with AI: building and enriching target lists, preparing every call, turning call transcripts into CRM updates and follow-ups automatically, and running outreach across LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp from one workflow. Including what went wrong along the way.

After the talk we split into small roundtables with other AEs:
- What do you already use every week, and what does it deliver?
- Where does it break? (data, CRM, compliance, quality)
- Which one workflow will you build in the next 30 days?

Every table shares its best insight and 30-day plan, then we close with drinks and networking. Everyone receives the slides and the full list of workflows afterwards.

Most AEs use AI for one thing: writing emails faster. That is the least interesting use case.

On 22 October I'm opening the next Rising Sales Session in Amsterdam: Hitting Target with AI, how AEs sell more and work smarter.

I'll show the workflows I actually run every week at Bonnie: building and enriching target lists, prepping every call, turning call transcripts into CRM updates and follow-ups automatically, and running outreach across LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp from one flow. Including the things I switched off again.

Then it's your turn. Roundtables with other AEs: what do you use, where does it break, and which one workflow will you build in the next 30 days.

Teaser postWichard, about two weeks in
Three things I'll show on 22 October at Rising Sales Sessions NL:
1. How a call transcript becomes a CRM update and a follow-up email before I'm back at my desk.
2. How I build and enrich a target list of 200 venues in under an hour.
3. The one automation I switched off again, and why.

Practical info to everyone signed upMary / Wichard, WhatsApp or email, days before
Hi {first_name}, see you Thursday at Rising Sales Sessions NL. Doors open 17:30 at Vormats, Prinseneiland 12, Amsterdam. We start at 18:00, drinks and food are taken care of. Bring one AI workflow you already use, we'll build on it at the tables. Questions: just reply here.

Talk and roundtables

Wichard's 20 minutes and the three questions Jeroen puts on every table.

The AE week with AI, what I actually use

  1. Prospecting: building and enriching lists in minutes instead of hours
  2. Preparation: account and person research as a briefing for the call
  3. During and after the call: transcript to summary, CRM update and follow-up email, without typing
  4. Outreach at scale: LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp from one workflow, with a human at the controls
  5. What does not work: where AI ruins the deal (tone, invented facts, over-automating)
  6. My stack on one slide and what it saves per week

Three questions per table

  1. Which AI tool or workflow do you already use every week? What does it deliver?
  2. Where does it break? Data, CRM, compliance, manager, quality.
  3. Pick one workflow you'll build in the next 30 days. What is step 1 tomorrow?

Share-out

Each table brings one insight and one 30-day plan. All plans go into the list everyone receives afterwards.
