The Week 29 Sales Software Report
A category-by-category reading of all ten Week 29 Sales software markets, with verified Top 3 rankings, assistant splits, evidence counts, and the first official week-over-week movements.
The First Sales Movement Report
This report covers Cooper's Week 29 Sales software hub: ten category-relative Overall AIQ rankings measured across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity from July 13 through July 19, 2026, under scoring version aiq-v2.
The hub contains 270 unique products, 839 cited pages from 439 source domains, and 1,945 verified mentions. Those hub totals deduplicate products and evidence shared across categories; they are not meant to equal the sum of the ten separate category totals below.
Six of the ten Sales category leaders changed from Week 28. CRM, E-Signature, Proposal Software, and Demo Automation retained their leaders, while Sales Engagement, Sales Intelligence, Conversation Intelligence, Contract Management, Sales Enablement, and CPQ placed a different product first.
How to Read This Report
Overall AIQ combines Cooper's Best, Most affordable, and Easiest to set up questions inside one category. The assistant columns show each product's category rank in that Overall scope. An em dash means the assistant produced no category rank for that product in this measurement; it does not describe intent.
Sources count distinct verified domains, while Mentions count distinct verified product-page relationships. Neither measure is presented as the cause of a rank. Rising AIQ is separate, and the Week 29 Rising AIQ report covers that dimension independently.
Every movement statement compares the same product, category, and Overall scope in the immutable Week 28 and Week 29 editions. The category links open the current live rankings while Week 29 is current and will resolve to this edition's immutable archive after the next edition is published.

What Changed Across Sales
The Week 29 Sales edition combines broad agreement with sharp assistant asymmetry. Six category leaders are ranked by all four assistants: HubSpot CRM, ZoomInfo,
Avoma, Docusign,
PandaDoc, and
Supademo. Only
HubSpot CRM ranks first with every assistant.
The other four leaders have narrower breadth. Outreach, Ironclad, and SAP CPQ are ranked by three assistants, while
Content Camel is ranked by one. Proposal Software alone kept its full Top 3 order intact even though six category leaders changed across the hub.
These are category-local movements, not a combined Sales leaderboard. The complete ranking links preserve the relevant market context, and the immutable Week 29 Sales archive preserves this measurement after the next edition becomes current.
