When will neural networks replace live salespeople? A test of 10 LLMs for sales performance in the Russian market

▤ Summary

This article tests 10 large language models on sales tasks for the Russian market and compares their ability to handle discovery, objection handling, pricing, ROI, and CRM-related scenarios. It ranks models such as MiniMax, DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen, and Claude based on sales-oriented benchmarks and cost-performance tradeoffs. The piece argues that some models already perform well enough to assist or partially replace routine sales work, especially in structured B2B workflows. It also highlights practical deployment considerations such as API access, latency, reliability, and pricing. The overall message is that AI sales assistants are becoming a realistic option for Russian-language B2B teams.
