Frequently asked questions about Alexander McCracken, The Hybrid Sales Strategist.
Alexander is a sales and marketing strategist, keynote speaker and founder of The Hybrid Sales Strategist. He helps B2B organisations modernise how they sell, blending traditional expertise with a deep understanding of how AI is reshaping buyer journeys.
No. And that’s the point. Alexander approaches AI from a commercial perspective, not code. He helps non-technical leaders understand how AI affects visibility, discoverability and buying decisions in the B2B world.
He advises B2B organisations through strategic consulting, executive workshops, offsite sessions and speaking engagements. Some clients book him to fix underperforming sales engines. Others bring him in to provoke new thinking.
Frequently asked questions from those tyring to understand Hybrid Selling
Hybrid Sales is a modern sales model that reflects how today’s B2B buyers actually buy; digitally, independently and then with targeted human interaction. It blends AI tools, content, and live engagement into a single commercial journey.
Not even close. Hybrid Sales isn’t about tactics or channels, it’s about buyer behaviour. It starts with discovery via search or AI and only later includes human interaction. It’s driven by what the buyer wants, not the seller’s org chart.
Because 64% of B2B buyers are Millennials or Gen Z and 44% of them prefer to buy without a sales rep. If your model relies on old-school sales motions, you’re invisible at the moment buyers start searching.
Frequently asked questions about Alexander's AI-Side Visibility™ framework.
AI-Side Visibility™ is Alexander’s framework for helping companies get found by machines. As AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity become the new front door to buying decisions, companies must be discoverable by algorithms as well as people.
Because B2B buyers are already asking AI for advice:
“What are the top B2B sales platforms?”
“What’s a good ERP for manufacturers?”
If you don’t show up in those answers, you’re not even in the consideration set.
Alexander helps you structure your content, signals and strategy to be recognised and recommended by AI assistants. This includes entity design, FAQ engineering, prompt matching and content placement.
Consultants don't give away all their secrets on FAQ pages! But yes, GPT5 Reference Files are one of the tools of AI-Side Visibility™. The Hybrid Sales Strategist's is here.
