Rising Sales Sessions NL | Hitting Target with AI: How AEs Sell More and Work Smarter | 22 October 2026
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.
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.

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
- Prospecting: building and enriching lists in minutes instead of hours
- Preparation: account and person research as a briefing for the call
- During and after the call: transcript to summary, CRM update and follow-up email, without typing
- Outreach at scale: LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp from one workflow, with a human at the controls
- What does not work: where AI ruins the deal (tone, invented facts, over-automating)
- My stack on one slide and what it saves per week
Three questions per table
- Which AI tool or workflow do you already use every week? What does it deliver?
- Where does it break? Data, CRM, compliance, manager, quality.
- 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.
