Sales and marketing software
Technology category · O*NET
Sales and marketing software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 46 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 80th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.
A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.
Example software & tools
Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

How AI is used by roles that use Sales and marketing software
A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Sales and marketing software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 50.0% of the 46 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (23 roles).
Across those roles, 54.4% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 38.7% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.65 / 5.
| Collaboration pattern | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| task iteration | 38.5% | you and AI go back and forth |
| directive | 35.8% | AI does it; you give the instruction |
| learning | 13.1% | you ask AI to explain or teach |
| feedback loop | 2.9% | AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback |
| validation | 2.8% | you do it; AI checks your work |
Roles behind this signal
The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

| Advertising and Promotions Managers | 61.8% | 4.0/5 |

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Sales and marketing software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.
Industries that concentrate this
Where Sales and marketing software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Sales and marketing software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.
Nationally, about 13.5% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Sales and marketing software (measured across 67 industries).

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
