When was the last time you asked ChatGPT something instead of Googling it?  If you’re like most people in the software industry right now, it’s happening more and more. Maybe you asked it to compare two integration platforms. Maybe you wanted a quick breakdown of pricing models for a specific tool category. Maybe you just didn’t feel like wading through ten tabs to find a straight answer. 

AI SDRs are everywhere right now. And honestly? The hype isn’t entirely wrong. These platforms promise faster prospecting, consistent follow-up, cleaner pipeline hygiene, and the ability to test messaging at scale. For ISVs trying to build OEM partnerships or break into new markets, that sounds like a dream.

ISVs have myriad options for how to spend marketing budget. For example, you can invest in your website, content marketing, and social media and social advertising. You may focus on email marketing, pay-per click (PPC), or print ads.

Summer is almost here—and with it comes the urge (and need) for a well-deserved break. But just because you’re taking time off doesn’t mean your marketing has to.
